I wanted to update my original first visit review. I've been there four more times and it is just excellent. I do want to upgrade my review on the mlMiso soup. This bowl today was far different than then the one from my first visit. Three of us ordered Miso soup and all agreed, this time It is excellent! Much more deeper flavor, more tofu added and green onions. If they keep the consistency, this is a winner. Everything else is just as excellent as the first reporting; Crunch roll, Scooby Doo roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Calamari, Garlic Edamame, and Spicy Garlic Edamame. Iced beer and wine glasses! What's not to like? Happy Hour every day 3:30 to 5:30, we will be back with further updates! read more

Ambience - 5 Food taste - 5 Food cost - 3 Cleanliness - 5 Food choices - 4 Parking - 5 Total 22 / 4= 4.5 The chitashi bowl cost too much for amount and kind of sashimi that was in the bowl. Was disappointed. I should have opted for the 12 piece sashimi platter. read more

Go Fish Sushi Bar is a relatively new sushi spot located on Thousand Oaks Blvd by Tarantula Hill Brewery. It's a great addition to the area. While not really a recommended spot for traditional Japanese sushi, they excel at Americanized sushi rolls. They also have Kizami wasabi, which I highly recommend ordering. To eat, the garlic lemon roll is about as good as it gets. Spicy tuna and cucumber on the inside, avocado, thinly sliced lemon, tuna, garlic sauce, and garlic olive oil on the outside. Sushi roll perfection. Though not cheap (rolls are ~$20 each), the rolls are decently sized. If you are a fan of Americanized sushi rolls, you should definitely check this place out next time you're in the area. read more

My initial impression was Wow !! This place is refreshing, happy, and fun!! I was immediately greeted and led to my table. Their wait staff was so friendly and glad to answer any inquiries. I ordered the hot tea and my food. She was ready! They had all my selections ! Toro tuna .. which melted in my mouth ... sooo fresh ! The salmon roe and smelt egg were topped with quail egg .. perfectly wrapped and with a slight sweetness while bursting with flavour !! The eel was tender, warm and sweet .. cooked to perfection! The Yellowtail was like it was taken and prepped right from the boat! So tender with a lovely smooth, and tender texture at the first bite ! Service was amazing as Baylie was attentive and sweet! The energy was vibrant ! Nice & relaxing lunch stop! Highly recommend !! Cheers !! read more

We came here on Sunday around 4:30 for their happy hour. Our party of 8 was well taken care of. I believe it was Jen that helped us. I personally had the Tiffany roll and it was one of the best rolls I've ever had. Everyone else enjoyed their dish as well. The garlic edamame was terrific. The restaurant itself is clean and fun. I love the T.V.s. I was able to watch a little football as well. We will be back! Yummm! read more

Overall the food was great, but I'm not sure it was worth the pretty penny we spent. For two people on a date night, we paid close to $200 (including tip) for two drinks, two rolls, two hand rolls, and an appetizer. If you're looking for high quality melt in your mouth sushi packed with flavor, you'll definitely enjoy this restaurant. Because of the price, I had higher expectations for the service and overall ambiance. The restaurant gives off a corporate/franchise vibe, maybe it's the casual dress of the servers or the way they carry themselves. The service also felt pretty average and at times I felt rushed. It was our first time there and our server returned after only a few minutes to ask if we were ready to order (the menu is quite extensive). When I mentioned I was still deciding, she began recommending her personal favorites, flipping through my menu and pointing out items. It felt a bit invasive and overwhelming. I felt pressured to try what she recommended. I would have appreciated more time to look things over at my own pace and choose what I wanted. The restaurant was busy, but we had only been seated for about 10 minutes. After finishing our meal, we were hoping to relax and chat a bit (we rarely get date nights without the kids), but she stopped by and asked if we were full, which made us feel rushed again. I'm not sure if we'll return, but we might consider coming back for happy hour and sitting at the bar instead. The food was great, the service needs improvement, especially given the price read more

Been here a couple times, so far it's our favorite sushi restaurant around! Fresh, flavorful and delicious

We love this sushi restaurant it's our favorite!! The food is amazing and fresh. I had taken family and friends to this restaurant and we left our wallet on the chair happily we got it back and the manager was so nice and amazing!!! It's not always having honest people out there in the world. We thank you and this sushi restaurant will always be the only one we go to!!!!! Thank you read more

We stopped by on a Saturday for a late lunch and were able to make it in before the lunch time (11-3pm) is over. We both ordered from the lunch special menu and happy to report that the food is delicious and the portion is very generous. The lunch special comes with a crab/cucumber salad appetizer, shrimp & veggie tempura, rice and salad. The crab and cucumber salad dressing is very good and the tempura is perfectly battered and cooked just right. Both sushi and California rolls from my order are very fresh and to be honest the portion is definitely on the generous side for a lunch special/bento box. I'm very happy we gave this place a try and I think it's a great place to stop by after having some beers from the brewery across the street. P.S. Parking could be a little tricky and it's on the side of the building. read more

Go Fish Sushi is where you go when you say, "Let's eat light tonight," and then cheat on your diet with a literal sea monster. These monster rolls are not food, they're a personality test. They bring it to the table like, "Hey, do you have unresolved emotional issues and no self-control?" Because halfway through you're sweating, negotiating with God, and saying, "I swear I'll start Pilates on Monday if I survive this." You got couples on first dates like: "We'll just share one roll." No, you won't, Jenna. This thing shows up looking like it needs its own zip code and a LinkedIn profile. By the third piece you're both on the same side of the booth, not cuddling, just trying to breathe. The fish is stupid fresh, the sauces are dripped on there like they hired a Picasso who only paints in spicy mayo, and every roll is stacked like it's trying to become a stepdad to your kids. Inside it's all dark wood, mood lighting, and people pretending they totally know what they're ordering. Every dude at the bar is like, "Yeah, I'll do the omakase," Bro, you Googled "what is omakase" in the parking lot. Great place and great food! read more

I actually really enjoyed this spot! We missed happy hour but will be sure to go back and visit to check that out :) came here for a late night sushi girl date and the rolls and pieces were delicious.

Highly recommended! First ate at the Simi Valley spot and was immediately impressed This review is overdue as the TO Blvd spot has now been open over a year now This spot definitely deserves more recognition as I think they are a top-tier local sushi restaurant and we will be going more often So... Sitting at the bar is a must The chef(s) was so friendly and explained where each fish was caught and why he prepared it a certain way (think it was Tomas) The fish here is on another level We had the Toro (fatty tuna) and it literally melted the second it hit my tongue You can tell they source high-quality, fresh cuts, the Yellowtail Belly was buttery and had zero 'fishy' aftertaste The Bluefin was so fresh served with a tiny bit of Kizami-Wasabi on top it tasted like we were eating it in Hawaii Even the Salmon and Albacore were heavenly delicious It's the kind of quality you usually only find at high-end omakase spots in the city Oh and the Scallops seemed super fresh melting in your mouth This is a hidden gem for purists They use real wasabi (not the green paste), and the chef brushes a light layer of nikiri (house-made soy glaze) on each piece, so you don't even need to dip it As earlier noted, they had Kizami-Wasabi a relish made from the real, chopped wasabi stem, which offers a unique crunchy texture and a well-rounded, sharp heat that fades cleanly It's an authentic experience where the craftsmanship of the chef(s) really shines through Well, we don't order rolls, everyone else was and they were Huge! The atmosphere was very cozy and the decor is beautiful I also appreciated all the TVs so I could watch some sports while not detracting from the conversation with my dinner partner Even though it was a busy night, the service was attentive and we never felt rushed It felt less like a meal and more like a curated experience Also this place respects the rice! Anyone who eats a lot of sushi knows that the rice is 50% of the sushi The shari was served at the perfect temperature, seasoned with just enough vinegar to complement the fish without overpowering it The grains were distinct and held together perfectly - not that cold, mushy fridge-style rice you get at cheaper places Worth the price, not any more expensive than most other local options and the quality justifies it! They also have some limited shared off street parking located nextdoor to the newly opened Santal TO Apt Bldg a sign posted 2HR PARKING TIL 9PM Also a short walk for street parking And for a upscale date night experience I believe the nextdoor restaurant Basta offers valet parking However, either way tell them "Woody's Review" brought you back! I think you'll be very satisfied eating here! read more

I ordered from here for the first time on a DoorDash BOGO. I ordered the BOGO deals. Fried Rice, and Veggie Tempura. The fried rice was flavorful without being too salty. The veggie tempura was delicious and crispy! Huge veggies! I made a rice bowl with everything. The only critique with the tempura batter itself was it lacked flavor. I will definitely try other things from here! read more

Oh my.. love their hand rolls .. the bestest .. and their salmon sushi .. very fresh and delicious..

I've been eagerly awaiting to try Go Fish Sushi Bar since it opened in Thousand Oaks. My friends had all reported back that they liked it and finally with a friend I was able to go for a Monday lunch. The restaurant itself is super cute inside. They did such a great job with the decor and layout of the restaurant. 5/5 for ambiance and style. Being new this place is spotless and feels refreshed inside. Definitely a cute spot for a date night or a friend's lunch date. The sushi here is also phenomenal! Some of the best sushi I've had on this side of town. The sushi was uber fresh and the portions were super generous. They have an extensive menu and lots of options to choose from. Every bite I had was delicious and I really appreciated the free cucumber and crab meat starter. For my meal I had their halibut sushi, a salmon cut roll and the OMG hand roll. Again, 5/5 for flavor, portion and presentation. The OMG hand roll I still think about. One of the best hand rolls I've had in a long time. My friend was also equally as happy with her meal as I was. I really wanted to give this spot 5 stars but there is still a little bit more that would need to happen to get there. The biggest reason we couldn't give them 5 stars is the service was unfortunately slow. Our waitress was nice and friendly, but the attentiveness and check ins were minimal. What was supposed to be a quick lunch turned into an hour. The only reason that it took this long was our waitress just wasn't on top of things. It took her a good while to even take our orders and then same for when we wanted to grab the check and leave. What was disappointing is there were only three other tables besides ourselves, so if she couldn't handle four tables at lunch I don't know what to tell you? Once our order was taken the sushi arrived quickly - so this wasn't a sushi chef issue. I've seen other reviews noting the service lacking so I do hope with more training the service will get a bit better with time. This spot really can be 5 stars and I so badly want to give it to them because the food is amazing, they just need to work on service and their price point is a little high for some of the rolls but the quality was there so something I could overlook. Definitely a spot you'll want to try as the sushi is stellar and the vibes are cute. read more

So happy with the TO location! Went for the first time the past Thursday night, got a table immediately and had some of the best sushi I've had in a LONG time. Really good quality and was happy paying a few more dollars per roll than we do at our usual sushi spot because the quality was that good. They also were super accommodating for our 18 month old which always wins big points from my perspective! Inside is nice and the sushi bar is big and super inviting - will be going back frequently! read more

If I were to guess, our server was the manager. It wasn't obvious since he seemed to be the only person helping customers besides a gal busy preparing napkin placements. Also, I finally convinced my wife to come to your restaurant after raving about it. So, I didn't want to make her uncomfortable complaining in front of her after all the nice things I'd been saying about Go Fish! I hope you get that. I sat in the table around the corner to the left and had a good lay of the land as to who was working your restaurant. Two sushi chefs, one server, and the hostess who sat us and worked napkin service. No obvious manager on staff. The first time I was there it was obvious who the manager was. She ran a tight shift and I was impressed. Second and third time no sign of an obvious manager. read more

It's our anniversary and we chose to spend it at our favorite sushi place in Thousand Oaks. It's a Friday night at 822pm. Google and the sticker on the door says open until 11pm. We attempted to enter and we were shooed out saying they closed because "it's been slow". Thanks for ruining our night. I'm sure you won't miss us as a customer, but we won't be returning. Be forewarned, don't trust this businesses hours, apparently they do what they want. read more

Came with a decently sized party for a work lunch because we just found out this place opened and was pleasantly surprised. My boss ordered a few rolls for the table, and I wasn't able to take photos of all of them just due to table placement, but the rolls were all 10 pieces and the individual pieces were surprisingly large! They also have a decent selection of beer on tap. The decor is cute with a lot of fish and sea life themed lamps and decorarions, and the servers were friendly and accommodating. Will be glad to come and try more things! read more

We ordered edamame, salmon skin cut roll, salmon sushi and unagi sushi to start. Yum! Then I got a vegetable bowl and my hubs got a chicken teriyaki.

Go Fish Sushi Bar is an absolute gem in Thousand Oaks! The food was beyond delicious--every roll was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care and creativity into every dish. Our server Niko was fantastic! So kind, attentive, and helpful with great recommendations. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the entire staff and chefs were incredibly sweet and welcoming--you could feel the warmth the moment we walked in. We also loved how family-friendly the place is. The kids menu came with a full sushi roll, a side like French fries, and ice cream--which made our little ones feel so special and included. It's not easy to find a sushi spot that's this good and still so thoughtful toward families. From the amazing food to the wonderful people, we left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Go Fish is a must-visit in the Conejo Valley! read more

I was one of eight in a group. We 'were hungry!' We were seated quickly, staff courteous, the ambiance was nice. Of course everyone had to order something different. The Crazy Roll I ordered was very good. Yes, the rolls were Americanized as another reviewer mentioned but very good nonetheless. We were all served within 5-10 minutes of each other, all made to order. Well worth the $$$. read more

Go Fish Sushi Bar - Japanese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Four and a half stars. Go Fish is really good and just what Ventura County needs. Went with a group of five. Everyone enjoyed what they got except for my roll (Oh! Canada!) had more mayo than I like. The rolls are huge so definitely don't order more than one per person, and appetizers are optional too. However, the dynamite appetizer was probably my favorite, and had less mayo than my Oh! Canada! Roll. Next time I may just order that appetizer and an order of nigiri or two, or have one or two roll pieces from my dining partner :) I think that going enough times and figuring out my favorite rolls will easily rate them a 5 in my book! The interior was very big and looked like they could easily accommodate a group of ten or more. The prices are on the high side but the portions are huge.... Another thing to think about to resist from over ordering! Service was great and free parking in the lot or on the street. read more

The food was tasteful. Food presentation was also on point. Waiter was sweet, But it was a little loud in there.

I've been going to the Go Fish in Simi Valley for years, and it's easily one of my favorite sushi spots in the area, so I was excited when they opened a new location in Thousand Oaks. This new spot, across from Tarantula and near the Janns Marketplace, has been open for about six months and is already running strong. The interior is large, modern, and very clean. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the place seems well-staffed overall. One of the standout perks is their late hours. They seat until around 10 p.m. (maybe 10:30), and stay open until 11 p.m. on weekends, which is pretty rare for this area. If you're looking for a late-night sushi option in Thousand Oaks, this is one of the few places doing it right. The sushi here is consistently fresh and high quality. Their Red Bull Roll, topped with seared Wagyu, is one of my go-tos and a good example of the creative, fun options on their menu. The drink selection is solid, including a few non-alcoholic beers for the non-drinkers. Everything here is solid, but there's one area that needs work is the rice. The sushi rice is served room temperature at best, and tends to be on the stiff side. It doesn't stand out at all on rolls, but it's noticeable when you order nigiri. The rice bed feels like it's been sitting out too long, which clashed with the fish and dulled the flavor. The combination of cool fish and warm rice is essential. The fish itself is great, but the rice isn't holding its weight in those dishes. An improvement to their rice would really elevate the entire experience and bring this location in line with top-tier sushi spots. The location is perfect if you're making a night of it. You can grab a drink across the street, hang out at Tipsy Goat next door, or walk around the Marketplace. It's a strong addition to the area, and I'm glad to see Go Fish expanding. This is already a great spot, and with a few tweaks to the sushi rice, it has the potential to be truly exceptional. read more
