    Pink Lady Roll. Firefly Roll. (left and right)
    Michelle B.

    Cho Cho San remains a fresh, well priced, and ultimately among my favorite sushi spots in the Valley. My family has been coming here for years and it's been nice to see the familiar faces of chefs and waiters all this time. Everyone is always friendly and polite and the food has always come quickly and freshly made. Octopus Salad 3/5 and 5/5, my mom and I split this as an appetizer. I personally thought it was just alright but my mom was obsessed and would order it again. Chicken skewers 4/5, so I ordered this last time but this time they were a little different. I would order them without sauce since they both seem to come with sauce?? But this time there was some vegetable in between the chicken which I was very confused by Pink lady 5/5, as always the scallops melt in your mouth they are so soft and smooth Firefly roll 5/5, a lovely spicy tuna roll

    Rice Krispy Spicy Tuna

    Tried this place for the first time and it was pretty good. Felt like the spicy tuna crispy rice was nothing special. The whipped salmon and scallop rolls were pretty nice. It wasnt busy at all when we visited so our togo order came out fairly quickly. Staff were friendly. I would come back for a quick bite

    First time at Cho Cho San and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the friendly service from staff. Restaurant is clean and spacious with plenty of parking in the lot. I got the shoyu ramen without any protein. I really liked how there's a ton of sliced fried garlic and seaweed. It was a simple bowl of ramen but very flavorful. My table also had some appetizers to share, like tempura green beans and avocado rolls, and they all tasted pretty good.

    Takoyaki and Yellowtail Yuzu Sashimi

    The environment and food was so clean and delicious! my spicy salmon cut roll was the perfect portion too. Our server was an incredibly kind lady who was always very attentive to our needs and made us eager to come back next time for more. It was a perfect place for me and my co-workers to have a drink and enjoy our night!

    Salmon Teriyaki

    The salmon is amazing and the service was top notch!! Highly recommend if you're in the area :)

    Oh god, the food is genuinely gross and over priced. I can't believe I paid $13 for a lunch portion of Teriyaki Chicken to be a thin plain piece of over cooked chicken breast with awful teriyaki sauce slathered on top. If you could even call It teriyaki sauce. The tempura shrimp was bad as well. Absolutely won't be back.

    Small but great sushi restaurant. The whole restaurant consists of a rectangular sushi bar where you are served by sushi chefs. It's not ideal for large groups because it takes time to get seated if they are busy. The sushi was great. The sushi chefs take their time preparing your sushi. They have a great selection of rolls from their menu to choose from. Prices are little on the high side but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Sadly, the VERY overpriced food was quite disappointing here. The sushi did not seem freshly cut. The rolls were drowning in mayo. The tempura shrimp tasted like something out of a box. The people working there are VERY nice and the ambiance is modern, minimalist with lots of tables (inside and out) and great music playing. But the food was just not good.

    What happened to this place? The food is similar since ChoChoSan sold it but the service is horrible and the place is a grave yard now.

    Do we have to have reservations now that they are open?

    They do not do reservations as of yet. It is first come first serve. A wait time might be expected. You can call ahead before going in to find out how long of a wait can be expected.

    Are they doing outdoor dining?

    Last time I was there Valentine's day and I saw a a few people eating outside.

    This place offer all you can eat sushi?

    Nope

    Great find here, nice little sushi restaurant right off Sepulveda, just North of Ventura…read more The sushi here is tasty, tasted fresh, lots of variety. Sushi, Bentos, appetizers, etc. The place is not large inside, but you can sit at one of their tables or at the sushi bar as well. They are open from 12-2:30 for the lunch crowd and then again later for dinner. We got a ton of things, my receipt was too long, had to fold it over for the picture. Started with some spicy edamame's and shishito peppers, cooked perfectly. Miso soup, salmon, spicy tuna, spicy scallop, white fish, veggie tempura, a BSC roll, unagi, baked crab and California rolls. Enjoyed everything very much except for the baked crab roll, it was ok, but not my favorite and I would not order again. Everything else I would get again. There are a few spaces in front on Sepulveda, but you should park in the back in the large parking lot that they have. The lot is not free, just an FYI. Staff was really nice and took care of us well. Their prices are not bad for sushi, more reasonable than others, but the sushi is still high grade and very good. Keep the prices reasonable, provide great service and provide high quality tasty food is a recipe to keep your customers coming back. Check them out, support local and get some great food and service. Enjoy!

They did mentioned they take reservations but get full couple days in advance. Place was lively and food was excellent. We sat at the sushi bar/counter and we ordered directly with chef.

This place really makes me feel like I'm back in Japan every time I come here. We've been a few times now, and somehow it just keeps getting better and better every visit.

The place itself is super cute and has such a nice vibe. It's the perfect little spot for a date night or even just to chill, have a drink, and enjoy some seriously good ramen. Easily one of my favorite spots and 100% worth it every time.

    Oh my goodness, Bincho creates the most flavorful bowl of ramen in the SFV, hands down!…read more I came by for take out today close to the opening at 5PM, and they were already lit with customers! Despite even that, I was helped immediately and was heading out with my order for 2 bowls in about 15 minutes. I was also offered a glass of ice water while I waited, which was very kind. Every aspect from the dark walls and wooden bar, down to the music and bathroom is well thought out. You can tell they truly value their space and the customers that support the restaurant. Don't get me started on the food ~ We tried the Bincho Egg Black Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth was silky and creamy, not oily or heavy at all. The black garlic added a very interesting earthy and almost scorched taste to it. The egg was sweet, and I've never had a sweet ramen egg before but it went well with the rest of the umami flavors in the dish. The green onions and wood ear mushrooms had a fresh crunch to them and there was enough to get a good amount in every bite. The charsiu was tender + savory sweet, kinda tasted like cheese to me but that's also a positive lol! The noodles were slightly chewy and the portion was just right for the amount of broth you get. I have nothing bad to say about this ramen, it's truly one of those spots where your heart desires seconds or even thirds lowkey. I'll be back again to try a different option on the menu. That spicy karaage looked pretty fire so I may need to come back to try that too... Thank you Bincho! Y'all killed the ramen game.
