You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. We tried a couple rolls and they were balanced--not just drenched in sauce to cover up mediocre ingredients. Portions felt fair for the price, and the menu has enough variety that you can keep coming back without getting bored. It's also a cozy, intimate little spot--perfect for a low-key sushi night. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the timing between dishes was solid.

The service was great, food excellent, and fair prices! All around recommend and will be back.read more

It's rare to find a meal that leaves you truly stunned and speechless but Sushi Tanaka did exactly…read morethat. An absolute showstopper of a meal from start to finish. This reservation took a full year to secure and I would gladly wait another year to experience it again. The hardest reservation in Ventura County? Without a doubt. Worth it? YES doesn't even begin to cover it. Dining at Sushi Tanaka is an experience in itself, especially in the presence of a legend like Chef Sei Tanaka. He is warm yet serious, focused yet playful and his dishes speak volumes. Every bite is layered with personality and skill. On the night we came in, my dearest friend Leslie and I had the entire restaurant to ourselves. I can't explain how we had an entire seating to just us but it was magical and intimate. We dinned on 18 courses, each one a surprise more delicious than the last. You just sit back and the chef chooses each bite for you. We've never had octopus so impossibly tender it melted in our mouths. Ice cold sake, warm fish soup, literally I could go on and on about this meal. Choosing favorites feels almost wrong because every course was exceptional, but if forced, the Santa Barbara uni on wagyu, Japanese scallop, Sea bream, and Toro with uni were some of the most impressive and unforgettable bites I've ever had. Never did I imagine that the best sushi I've ever experienced in Ventura County would be found in Simi Valley, but here we are. What an absolute treasure this city holds. I truly hope everyone gets the opportunity to support and experience this extraordinary omakase at least once in their life.

I know people may underestimate the odds of 5 star quality in Simi Valley. But it exists and this…read moreis the place! Whether you're in the neighborhood or driving in from LA county. This is worth the coins, gas and time. When you get there it is the one sushi chef and whoever else has a reservation. The night was filled with delicious kanpachi, salmon, uni, oyster, caviar, scallop, nigiri, tuna and so much more. It was a couple of hours of endless sushi, sashimi, salad and even some miso soup. It is not an easy reservation to get but totally worth it about $100 or more per person but it's alot of food. So make sure to make room. Great for a dat or a group of friends. The chef is so patient, kind and he explains every dish. He also has a nice playlist of blues music playing throughout our dinner. It helps to take you into a different place. 10 out of 10 i recommend.

We came for a late dinner and wanted some sushi, so we tried this sushi spot out that's been here…read morefor quite some time. The restaurant has a lot of seating and a large menu. We tried the Red Dragon roll, California hand roll with soy paper, Albacore delight sushi and a Bento box with Teriyaki chicken sashimi. The items we tried were all good, however, service was a bit slow. Staff were all nice, but seemed to be very busy since this sushi spot had AYCE sushi also. Overall, if you are not in a rush and want some good sushi, come check this spot out.

So if I was rating the flavor of the food alone I'd give 5 stars. But i have to give an honest…read moreoverall review and have to say the service lacked. Super nice but not on it. The little bowl of ginger they serve had a long hair in it. They replaced it quickly but it was gross. Then we ordered our sushi and my husband prefers cooked while I prefer raw. The cooked sushi all came out meanwhile I waited for my poke sushi. Finally I asked and the woman said she forgot. So by the time my sushi came my husband was done. It was annoying bc if he waited his would've gotten cold and then he waited around for me after. It wasn't very busy at all it was 2pm on a week day so I wonder how they do on busy days. The sushi itself was so tasty. The blue crab with crispy rice was delicious. The poke sushi was wonderful. And the fantasy roll was also great. We had another roll but I forgot the name. Definitely will be back for the sushi alone:

Ambiance The environment was very relaxing, although definitely small. Food We ordered the Mentaiko Chicken Tonkatsu as well as the Chicken Wonton Soup ramen. The soup did not come out as hot as we would have liked, it felt like it was just warmed. Although the chicken wonton soup came with a clear broth, we felt that it was oily. The actual chicken wontons had a good flavor and texture. The dish was simple but was sufficient. The mentaiko chicken tonkatsu ramen felt like it lacked depth despite being a tonkatsu broth. Although, the chicken that topped the dish was very flavorful and seemed to be marinated well. The noodles were the classic texture and the topping for me felt standard. Service Our waitress was nice, but it definitely felt a bit understaffed and we were forgotten about (I don't blame her since we were taking our time with the menu).

We get to watch them prepare the amazing dishes and share a shot or two of sake with our chef! Sure, sometimes there is a wait outside, but we will gladly wait in line to enjoy one of the best places for sushi, sashimi, Izakaya and ramen in Simi Valley!

For three adults, without drinks, our order came to plus $80.00, although these days that's becoming normal!
