Great sushi takes time. I got a chirashi bowl while I was waiting for my tesla to charge and it was so delicious!!! Thick fresh cuts of fish, a generous scoop of salmon roe, on top of rice that's cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back for it! read more

2.5-3 stars (based only on the plate I ordered) I got the box combo with teriyaki chicken + chicken karaage. Teriyaki chicken: It was white meat with sauce poured on top--no real flavor in the chicken itself. It came out tasteless and dry. It would have been much better if they used dark meat or at least marinated the white meat before cooking. The sauce shouldn't be carrying all the flavor; it should only complement the chicken. Chicken karaage: Also tasteless, and the batter was way too thick. I'll stay away from both of these items next time. read more

It is fire! I got the Ichi Roll. It was so fresh and spicy! I loved it. My daughter order off their special menu, she got the California roll plus 1 tuna sushi, 1 yellowtail, 1 salmon, and 1 albacore for a great price! It was all so yummy. Also, the gyozas are chicken & the best we've had. & did I mention the fish was so fresh? read more

We came in right at opening so we were the only table for a bit. Service was quick and incredibly kind. The sushi was decent, not the best that I've had but its a good spot to go for a small quieter setting. Their prices are fair as well. Im also not an ice cream person but theirs is absolutely delicious! read more

We wanted to try a new sushi spot so we gave this place a shot. We were happy to find fresh tasty sushi that was also fairly priced! Service was great and the restaurant was very clean. It took a bit longer for our food to be prepared since there was only one sushi staff working--but we were happy to wait knowing that good things take time. We will be back again soon! read more

Isaki Sushi - Albacore Special Roll & Yellopeno Roll - Japanese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Wow, did not expect restaurant to be this good! And portions were not small. Sushi was high quality/super fresh. Rolls were flavorful. Haven't had Japanese food this delicious in a long time. The two Asian sushi chefs were super skillful with their craft. I haven't tried the bento boxes, but am sure if they're made by these experts, they'll be delicious. From my experiences, if Japanese (or Chinese or Vietnamese or Thai) food is not tasty, it's because it's not made by Asians. Service was fantastic as well. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend! read more

You know a place is good right away when their ginger and wasabi are high quality! I ordered their Hana Roll, Golden Salmon and Omakase rolls and was not disappointed at all. Very happy with the appearance and ambiance of the place(nicely dim), the friendliness and keen attention to making sure everything I did was to the best they could provide. read more

Isaki Sushi - Absolutely had to have a beer too :) - Japanese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Isaki has great prices for a lunch around Amgen! For lunch, I frequently sit at the bar and order an Ocean Roll with albacore substituted with crab salad. The cucumber wrap is tasty and goes well with the karashi sauce. I also tried a bit of the spicy tuna roll from my colleague and it was pretty good! I like that it has a decent amount of spice, that was well-balanced by the sweetness of the sushi rice. Service is always fast and friendly and the portions are quite generous! So, this is my go-to spot for sushi in this area and for a quick lunch. read more

My first time here. This sushi bar may be small, but it truly is a local gem! An independent and very authentic sushi restaurant. Fresh fish, genuine staff, excellent selection, great daily specials, nice staff, clean environment, sufficient parking, pleasant environment! Only one issue. They do not serve fresh crab and only offer imitation crab. Most sushi bars identify it by calling it "Krab" I turned it down. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to coming back again! Thank you Isaki! read more

For a place that has such high reviews, I was expecting a lot more. First, it took a really long time to get any of our food, and once we did, they brought everything at once. It wasn't very crowded, and the tables next to us kept getting plate after plate, while we waiting for quite some time without getting anything. The sushi itself was alright, definitely nothing special. The fish was good, not great, and not anything to return for. While there were lots of roll options, none of them were very creative or that interesting read more

The ocean roll was delicious but hard to keep together to eat with chopsticks. Both salmon special and dragon roll were delicious (and I may have mislabeled them). We also ordered a plate of salmon sashimi and were so pleasantly surprised to see 6 pieces instead of the usual 5. (We didn't have to cut one in half! We're both serious about our sashimi! lol!) Great service. We'll be back to try all the rolls! read more

Came here at chance as I was in town for work for the week. I came back 3 times! Best sushi I've had in a very long time. Service was always quick and amazing! The staff would remember what I liked and would recommend things for me to try. Masa (the sushi chef) was such a great guy to talk to! I have definitely made a friend and can't wait to visit again. The vibe was great even when it was a packed day. I will miss this place read more

Overall, an OK experience, the ambience is casual and family friendly, the service is pleasant. The sushi itself lacks the skill, a lot of rice and humongous bites, a lots of sauces and heavy mayonnaise, you can barely taste the fish, although we ordered the most raw rolls on the menu . read more

One of the best sushi spots I've discovered. The stuffed squid was out of this world--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's a must-try if you're even a little adventurous. The no rice rolls were a total game changer. So fresh, light, and packed with flavor. You don't miss the rice at all. Each bite was clean and balanced, clearly crafted with care and creativity. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. Isaki Sushi is the kind of place that turns first-timers into regulars. @sushitraveler read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet, because I've been here with my wife on multiple occasions and it's become our local go to sushi spot. Overall I really enjoy this place for casual sushi. They have a bar and mostly tables and booths and the restaurant can get quite busy especially on Friday nights. They have your normal sushi greatest hits and a special board that I do recommend perusing and trying an item or two. The biggest bang for your buck will be their lunch or dinner sets which depending on what you get will very full at a really good price point. On their sets they give you a fair amount of options to choose from so you don't feel limited. More recently they introduced lunch sets for like $15-$17 which come with pieces of sushi and also introduced half rolls for people who are dining lighter, maybe wanting to try different sushi rolls. Their kitchen food is also pretty solid. I like their udon noodles , tempura and takoyaki a lot. Other sushi places advertise or offer these types of things but often are just provided as alternative options for people who don't eat sushi. But their menu has solid food worth getting. Staff is always friendly and attentive. read more

Its the quaint places that usually have the best food! Service was excellent and the sushi was so fresh!! And, they offer entrees as well. The reviews were helpful/on point. read more

My friend and I loved this place! Super cute and modern decor. The sashimi salad was delicious, and the portion was generous. Kazuya roll and Hana roll were both outstanding. I will definitely come back again! read more

~ SUSHI ON MY MIND, SUSHI ON MY RADAR ~ We stumbled upon Isaki while heading to our regular sushi spot and decided to give it a shot. I'm always in the mood for sushi, so it's great to have a new nearby option! There is plenty of seating for both small and medium-sized groups, and the interior is clean and minimalist, which brings a sense of ease and calmness. While we didn't order much, I really enjoyed the fresh scallop and albacore - they were very fresh and melted easily in my mouth. The menu is pretty extensive and has a variety of rolls. From what I saw on other tables, the rolls are generously sized. The service was fast and welcoming. It was clear that the owner and staff were genuinely excited and appreciative of each customer. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm excited to try more dishes from the menu! read more

New sushi spot in Newbury Park - Isaki Sushi. Yay! I was eager to try this spot as it's not far from where I live and I'm always on the hunt for a new good restaurant, especially sushi. This restaurant replaced an older sushi restaurant RIP. The decor was inviting with welcome banners outside. I like what they did with the inside. It's very clean and spacious (last place was a little cluttered). They did a good job of bringing this place back to life with new lighting and a refreshed looked. Plenty of booths and small tables. Next time I'll definitely sit at the sushi bar. Happy hour Monday to Saturday is 7:45 to closing I believe the sign said. Staff here were so hospitable and welcoming. You can tell they are super excited about their new business and they make you feel so special. The woman playing hostess and server was so sweet. Seriously the best vibes here! I believe one of the owners was also sitting near us working and when we left he gave us a huge thank you for stopping in on their opening week. They had plenty of staff working the sushi bar and kitchen, I appreciated this as they got the food out quickly. All in all the service was definitely 5 stars from start to finish. The menu was also very impressive. So many appetizers, specialty rolls, lunch/dinner bentos and of course sashimi. Prices were average but i definitely ate well (and a lot) for $45 after tip. Pretty standard for a nicer sushi dinner. They do have good combos if you want a cheaper meal but something still filling. The sushi here is extremely fresh and I was impressed with the raw sushi cuts. The nigiri was very substantial so for that I will say it's a good deal. The salmon and yellowtail melted in my mouth. The only fish we thought was basic was the tuna. Just a little too firm. However the other 5 different nigiri pieces we got totally slapped, delicious! The rolls here are also large and well constructed. My table ordered two specialty rolls and we were happy with them. Again, you really only need one per person if you are getting nigiri as the portions are great. I accidentally ordered a roll with cooked salmon (this was my bad bc I really don't like cooked fish on sushi) but even then the roll was so good i honestly wasn't bothered and was able to eat it. Normally I couldn't but thankfully the freshness of the rest of the ingredients and the sauces made it a great combination, even when I didn't read the menu right lol. My friend was happy with her roll. You definitely need to give this spot a try and to come out to support as they are a new business totally killing it their first week of opening! Woohoo good job. The service was impeccable and everyone was so kind. The pace of the food was really good and the quality of the fish is there. Happy to have a new great sushi spot on this side of town. I'll be back soon and hopefully with some more friends! read more

Isaki Sushi - Rainbow roll & salmon special roll - Japanese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

-- Tasty Food and Good Service, but Mixed Experience I visited this sushi restaurant once and had a generally positive experience while I was there. The food was tasty, the hot sake was enjoyable, and the service was warm and attentive. No complaints from me on that front. That said, my son didn't feel well afterward. Since this was our only visit, I can't say for sure what caused it -- it may have been a one‑off or unrelated -- but it did make us hesitant to return. I don't want to be unfair to a local business, especially since the meal itself was good, but I also want to be honest about our experience. Overall, the restaurant has potential, and others may have a completely different experience. For us, it was a mix of positives with one unfortunate downside. read more

We've eaten there a few times now and will continue to go back! Good sushi, good service, and reasonable pricing. Our new go-to sushi spot - always a great experience. read more

Unfortunately, our experience fell short. The food was only average, and the service was poor, with long waits and inattentive staff.

Had a sushi craving and came by for a quiet weekend lunch. We were greeted once we walked in and since it was empty at the time we picked our table. We noticed they had a truffle carpaccio special so that was the first thing we ordered. We got to pick the type of fish so we chose the yellowtail. It was really delicious and we were pleasantly surprised that it came topped with truffle instead of just oil. Also order takoyaki as a starer which was good, but warning do let them cool before eating as the inside is very hot. I also got a 911 roll and salmon skin hand roll. The 911 roll did have a bit of spiciness to is which is nice as when I order this at other places the spice has never come through at all. The salmon skin hand roll was huge and stuffed with hot and crispy salmon skin. The place was decorated for Halloween so that added a bit of fun to the space. Plenty of room between seating options and the staff was nice. They checked in during our meal consistently even as more parties came in. I think this will be a cozy go to sushi spot. read more

While Isaki has a decent variety of fish it's more of a rolls and sauce type of place. Ordered a specialty fish off the board and it was so small it was comical. I'm talking the size of my pinky. read more

Literally the best sushi in town and great service! :) the rolls were big and the nigiri was so good!

I tried Isaki for the first time ever tonight and it was absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in the area. The service was great and the fish was so fresh. You can really tell that this sushi bar/restaurant knows what they're doing. The sushi was definitely more authentic than other sushi restaurants in the area (which I've prefer) and less Americanized. Will definitely be coming back again and again. Overall 10/10! I started with the house salad, and the crispy rice - spicy tuna which had the most amazing sauce drizzled on top. I also had the Ocean Roll (no rice - cucumber wrapped) one of the best cucumber wrapped I've ever had and the Hana Roll (also no rice) which was so fresh and tasty. read more

This was an older sushi place, but they closed and this is a new sushi crew who started fresh. Very nice service and good quality food balanced with reasonable prices. For us it is a good value and very nice service. It is a good alternative to some of the other local sushi place since they have a nice variety of rolls. I like their bento boxes, the quality of the teriyaki chicken and salmon is slightly higher than some of the other sushi places. The quality of rice in their sushi is some of the nicest around. read more

Been reading the recommendations on Next Door how amazing this place is. My daughter and I went for lunch today and I can honestly say it's out of this world! Been to Sushi Oaks, Sumo, Tomodachi, and Cho Cho San and Isaki is the absolute best! The best spring roll appetizer I've ever had! The sushi, rolls, and miso soup were great as well. The tuna was melt in your mouth top grade. We'll definitely be returning soon with our whole family! read more

My favorite sushi spot. Everything was so fresh they have special fish sushi and their roll selection was so good.

This was our second time eating here and we just love the food, particularly the specialty roles. Everyone who works here is super friendly and are always running around taking care of everybody as quickly as I can. We don't care for the atmosphere here as it is industrial feeling and cold. read more
