    Fun time with family

    Fresh and good tasty sushi , draft beer is good quality, bento box is good and delicious

    Food, service and expectation was great. It was slow the time we arrived but overall their quick. We started off with Spicy edamame. We recommend the Japanese beer asahi, very smooth. Food has no "fishy" taste and smell. Very enjoyable.

    I'm visit LA and my friends decided to take me out. This place was the only one in the area that was open until 10pm. We sat down, ordered quickly because last call was 9:30pm. The brought the food out within mins and we got to enjoy every bit. The fish was fresh and very delicious. Everything on the table was pretty much gone by the end of the evening. The employees didn't rush us to finish up to leave. They were really kind enough to let us enjoy our evening. Would love to go back to this place!

    Service is super nice, very pleasant and attentive staff. Its great lunch spot, but the quality of sushi used to be better 2 years ago. Still a good place to check out if craving sushi in the valley

    Tuna crispy rice was really good! Great background music too. Really good service! Was not very busy on a Saturday at lunch time.

    Realized that I never did a review but have been here several times. This is my go to neighborhood sushi place. Great place to come for a Sunday lunch with the family. They have yelp wait list which is always good with a big party like ours. So many choices of you want sushi, hot food, appetizers and the staff is so friendly. For appetizers- get the yellowtail collar, crispy skin and moist fish. So good and enough for a few people to pick at or eat by yourself. Sushi- you can go wrong with anything you order. Fish is fresh and they don't over do it with rice which is perfect. The pieces on the sashimi special were super generous. Shrimp scampi roll, lobster roll and white Hawaiian are so good!

    This is my neighborhood joint and it is the best place to unwind after a day at work. The only downside is there is always a child making too much noise which does not bring me joy, but the food is delicious always. The staff is so nice. The food always hits the spot.

They offer three versions of their tonkotsu ramen--Clear, Black, and Spicy. Of course, I ordered the Clear. Oh my goodness... this was exactly the ramen I'd been looking for. The broth was crystal clear yet incredibly rich and flavorful without being heavy. The chashu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and not greasy at all. The soft-boiled egg was cooked to perfection with a beautifully jammy yolk. The noodles reminded me of the ramen I had in Japan--simple, authentic, with the perfect texture and firmness. And the shredded green onions on top completely brought the whole bowl together. They added just the right amount of freshness and crunch. Game over. If you're looking for authentic Japanese ramen with a clean, flavorful broth, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back.

The fish is so fresh here it honestly shocked my core. You cannot go wrong with the quality and flavor of the food they offer here. Started off the meal with a tuna trio that was listed at the bar and it was out of control. also got a seared garlic tuna, which probably was one of my favorite things on the menu. The sauce itself was something I could bathe in. after much deliberation ended up trying to just eat roll and absolutely was to die for. so shocked by the quality and flavor of the food here that I had to get their signature so what roll just to see what was going on. The staff here is so nice. Ended up at the sushi bar and got to experience everything with the owner and the sushi chefs, which ended up a great choice on your first try here. now I did not exactly pick the bar, but the place was full of reservations, so a slot opened at the bar and I took it. it's a very modern sushi restaurant decor is nice and ambience is not your typical sushi place a little more elevated experience. It is obvious that this place has regulars because the staff is very friendly and says welcome back knowing that they were just there on last Thursday. there is a parking lot with lots of parking, but beware of the tight spots. all in all this is one of my new favorite spots, and I will be back here again to try all the good food because as I saw people's orders, I could not help and think I need to try that.

I LOVE SUSHI...and it really doesn't matter if it's Ralphs, Nobu, or Kura Revolving Sushi...HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!! and I mean this, HOWEVER!!!!!!!! Miho is the only spot that matters if you are looking for a place to go that's not stupid expensive or mediocre quality just to get your fix. Miho IS EXACTLY the opposite of that. Miho is well priced, pinnacle quality and exceptional service!!!! It's a small hole in the wall off of Ventura Blvd in Tarzana and although we were hesitant at first, we decided to give it a shot. How could a sushi join in a largely jewish strip mall be any good...well, because they're some of the nicely, most talented Chefs, that how! The presentation of the rolls, the nigiri and the sashimi is gorgeous and if you sit at the bar the speed the sushi comes out makes you feel like you're the only person in the restaurant (who wouldn't like that?). We had to wait about 15min to get in, there's typically a wait but it's a wait well worth it and honestly it's more exciting this way. Plenty of Parking...unlike Nobu or Sugarfish or Katsuya type places so why waste the time....Good idea GO TO MIHO instead. Support your local shops, Miho is the spot! Go! Thank me later!

I ordered the yakitori bento box, which was $20 because this is what they are known for. The yakitori was decent, but nothing memorable, and the rice was drenched in sauce, which made it much less enjoyable. I've had better yakitori at restaurants in the South Bay. Given the price and quality, it would be hard for me to come back for lunch when there are so many options along Ventura Boulevard, or even if I'm willing to drive a little farther to Sawtelle, Little Tokyo, or Gardena for Japanese skewers. One other downside: the restrooms don't have baby changing tables, making it less convenient for families with infants. Overall, this revisit didn't live up to my memories, and I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

At first glance, it's pretty small in there, but I never felt uncomfortable. They were playing some cool lo-fi beats that weren't too loud -- no one was screaming at each other over the music. The guy taking my order was super cool and attentive; he kept checking in and was on top of the beer situation. I'd read other reviews saying the service was terrible, but in my honest opinion, he was great. I also read that people weren't happy with the owner. I could see how he might rub people the wrong way, but he mostly just kept to himself -- we only spoke when he picked up my plates. Some things I ordered really stood out, while others were just mid -- not bad, but they didn't have that wow factor. Standouts: the salmon belly (highly recommend), the beef wagyu, the gyoza (I know, it's gyoza, hard to mess up, but I've had bad gyoza before), the amberjack (best I've had), and the yellowtail carpaccio, which was bomb. The only thing that I didn't really like was the soy sauce ramekin, it was difficult to dip my sushi in it. It's too small and square. All in all, I'd recommend this place to a friend if they're in the area, and I'll be coming back.
