Awesome sushi! The portions are a good size. I would probably be ok with one roll the next time I order and a side order. I am a small woman so that filled me up pretty nice. Service was friendly and fast. Cute place for a quick lunch. I saw families there and couples, so it felt friendly. The menu was different from a typical sushi joint so it has fun sushi for the experimental eater, while also having safe favorites for those classic types. Overall, I would definitely come again. ​​ read more

Food came very fast actually a bit too fast! Miso soup good-lots of tofu which we like Large plate of edamame Yellowtail sashimi very good, I like how it's cut into small smaller pieces So lemon I am So happy roll we're both So good! read more

The Bottom Line 3.5 stars: Nice relaxing environment to meet up with family and friends for some good Japanese food. Recommended if you are in the area. Location 4 stars: In Tarzana, CA in the SFV, on the Southwest corner of Ventura Blvd and Shirley Avenue, in a large shopping plaza. Plenty of self-parking. Venue 4 stars: Upscale, nicely decorated venue. Comfortable and spacious but a little too brightly lit IMHO. Large sushi bar area that is always tightly packed. Indoor tables and booths as well as outdoor seating. They take reservations, so you will not have to wait long during busy times. Service 3.5 stars: Polite and frequent. Our order was taken quickly, and food came quickly as well. Food 3.5: Good quality fish and creative preparations. Nice assortment of small Japanese plates, sushi and rolls. Plating and presentations are very nice. Their pricing is quite a bit above the norm compared to similar restaurants. Drinks 3.5: Smaller assortment of beer, sake, wine, soft drinks and tea. Pricing is a little above the norm. Draft beer is very pricey for its size. read more

The fish was tasty the rice was just a touch overcooked for my liking. The prices are what you'd expect at a sushi restaurant I ordered a chirashi bowl it was $48 a little on the pricier side but it did have a lot of fish in it, so I can't complain. It's not a 5 star experience because it just took so long to come out. The kitchen seemed unorganized despite having a lot of staff behind thr counter. My husband ordered 3 rolls to start they brought him one then a good amount of time passed before they brought me my bowl, then my husband sat there with no food and me waiting for his food to come finally we asked what was going on, we could see them gathered looking at the tickets and that they weren't working in our order at all, it took about another 10 minutes after that for the other 2 rolls to come out, but knowing it was going to be a while, They could have atleast brought out some edamame or something while we waited. She just said it'll be right out. Anyway if you're in the area and need a place to eat it its fine, as for me I don't see myself going out of my way to return. read more

The sushi rolls are so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend to get a sea buss roll with avocado. They know what they're doing. All the servers were extremely nice and friendly. Especially Tik:) I love this sushi place. read more

So Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've never been here before so it was nice to try it out with some friends. As it was their recommendation which they've been before, why not give it a try. It's part of a strip mall with a good amount of parking. Easy to find as there's two other businesses in the same plaza that I frequently visit. This business, is the front shop just off of Ventura Blvd. Checked in with the hostess as we had a reservation. To the right of the restaurant is the sushi bar and to the left is the dining area. I didn't think they had a dining area the side of the bar as well until we got escorted to the our table. Honestly thought they were seating us at the bar which would be a little awkward to talk to 4 people. But to my surprise, they had a couple seats as well. Both side had a long bench that's built in with pillows cushion. It was cute. Opposite side dining room was a decent size but it was quite nice where we were. I had a vibe that a lot of the patrons were regulars as they seemed to know all the staffs by name. Our waitress and waiter were sweet and quite friendly. We got there early which gave us some time to browse the menu. It was quite nice as there were pretty much a good selections of roll and of course sushi. The only thing I noticed that wasn't in the menu were some kind of noodle dish like udons and such. I guess it varies what is carried. Both the drink menu and food menu were quite nice. We ended up just getting a couple of things to snack on. Nothing major as we were just catching up. A few staters with the edamame, tempura, cucumber salad. Sushi, nothing too crazy with the tomago, and some spicy scallops hand rolls. They were quite nice. It's one thing you can just keep eating but I had to limit myself. Also one of the solantro rolls, salmon skin salad and chirashi bowl. The name to their rolls are quite fun with everything starting with So. The meal was quite tasty. A bug happened to fly into my wine which I mentioned and they were graciously enough to replace it for me. That's excellent customer service. The food was great. Service was excellent. The whole ambience was amazing. Would I comeback? For sure. read more

Finally decided to try this spot out with my friend! We always drove by, saw it move across the shopping center, and thought it was about time haha. When I first walked in, the lady at the front greeted me and was super nice. I had to wait until my friend got there before being seated. She came and we sat at the bar. I got the baked salmon roll and she got a lot of other things I forget haha. My roll was delicious. The guys at the bar were nice too! The vibes overall were super cute! They do charge for sides though - eel sauce, spicy mayo, etc. It is located in a shopping center with a lot of other shops so sometimes parking is easy, others not so much. People there park....interestingly loll read more

I've been coming to this sushi spot of a while now, even before they moved to their bigger location across the parking lot . One thing I will say is they are consistent with the quality they provide. Customer service is also amazing. If you come often, they will get to know you by name. My favorite is the garlic shrimp and if you love garlic, it's a must! One of my other go to's is the blue crab roll. However, prices are on the higher side, so expect to pay! Vibe is casual, they have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

So Sushi is hands down the best sushi I've had in the Valley. Everything is incredibly fresh and tender--you can really tell they use high-quality fish. The flavors are elevated even further by their unique sauces, which are absolutely to die for. Every bite was a standout. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items off the menu. Highly recommend! Edit I forgot to mention the lighting fast friendly service. We sat at the sushi bar and each order came out within 5 min. read more

Sorry to say this, but the move across the strip mall was not a good one. It isn't location, the sushi isn't the same. This place blew me away a couple years ago. I couldn't wait to be in LA to go back. The tuna had strings in it. The spicy tuna was incredibly mashed up such that it was gummy. The yellowtail belly tasted and had the texture of regular yellowtail. The tempura was greasy. What happened here? The prices went up a lot, but the quality is way down. The three of us walked out, $349 later, disappointed with no plans to return. read more

We were looking for a good sushi place near our place in Tarzana and found So Sushi in our search. It was close enough so we figured we'd give it a try. So glad we did.

I went for a Friday night dinner and made a reservation, it was busy and loud when I got there. We were seated right away with a reservation. We ordered the Crispy SO WHAT tacos, Garlic Shrimp Roll, SO just eat roll, and Negitoro roll. The Crispy SO WHAT tacos are a small starter, but deliciously with the mix. I really like the sauce for the Garlic Shrimp Roll, I was soaking up the roll pieces in it and it had nice chunks in it. The SO just eat roll had a variety of textures with crispy onions, albacore on top, and so what mix inside the roll- overall great roll choice. We finished with the negitoro roll which just melts in your mouth. Our waitress was helpful & attentive the whole time. Parking- shared big lot with other businesses read more

So Sushi.... Not so much! We had 8pm reservations. We were kept standing and waiting for close to 30 minutes. Our table finally opened up to accommodate our 4 person reservation, and the hostess ignored us and proceeded to seat 2 people at our 4 top. We questioned them, she said"oh sorry , our system is messed up".... We walked out and won't be back. I hope those 2 people order over $500 in food in drinks, because that's what we usually spend. Get it together! We ended up at Tatsuki which is an oldie but never disappoints. read more

Not sure why any other place exists. This place is the best. Best food, best group of people working there, the vibe is always good. It's child friendly... THE FOOD, THO!!! So good ! read more

Honestly the food was good.. Ismael was an good chef.. the amount of fish in the sushi rolls was generous.. you are spending over $15-$25 per roll.. you get what you pay for.. the servers could've been way more attentive and better honestly.. my mom was not comfortable because of empty plates being stacked and things arriving late.. the server was reminded by the chef.. our rolls arrived before the drinks and appetizers.. we sat at the bar.. the tip suggestion was high in my opinion (I've been a server myself) I'm not sure what the tip out is.. but 20%.. 22%.. 24%.. is high.. I did leave 20% because I don't want to negatively impact someone's paycheck.. usually the gratuity is specifically set for a reason at restaurants.. read more

Went on our way to LAX and the sushi was some of the best we have ever had! Being Ventura County people driving to the valley is almost a punishment..... but I'd do it for this place without question read more

It was good. It would've been a 2 hr wait on Saturday night to get a table but we only waited 30 min for the bar but you have to put your name down in person. While waiting, one of the hostess was providing us some service so that was nice. We had the chef spoil us with what he thought was best. We got some white fish, albacore belly, one of their specialty rolls the So Loco. It all tasted fresh some of it was kind of bland not worth the price. The ambiance is nice nothing so special. Not sure how the old space looked but I think it's a little bigger. read more

the solantro roll is soooo delicious (#18). The miso is a different taste and lighter flavor compared to other restaurants and the booth is so beautiful. The chefs are amazing and sadly there are no more oysters due to an incident. I originally came here for oysters but the special rolls cured my disappointment! read more

Incredible sushi, great atmosphere, and top-tier service! I stopped into So Sushi on a whim and was completely blown away. I ordered the Hagashi and the Solantro Roll, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The Hagashi was incredibly fresh and practically melted in my mouth. The Solantro Roll had the perfect balance of flavor--bright, bold, and just the right amount of kick. You can tell they take pride in the quality and presentation of each dish. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the vibe of the restaurant is modern yet relaxed--perfect for a casual lunch or a date night. Definitely one of the best sushi spots I've tried in a while. I'll be back soon to explore more of the menu read more

Went there last night with Family. It is clean, excellent Waitstaff, and the Food, OMG, it is so unbelievable. We ordered many dishes, I had the Cucumber Salad with Crab as an appetizer, Calamari, Mixed Shrimp and Veggie Tempura, my Husband had 911 Roll, and California Roll, the rest of our Family had assorted other Dishes. We also had Sake and Beer. There is plenty of parking and they take Credit Cards. A little pricey but well worth it! We can't wait to return and try other yummies!!! Easily a 5 Star Restaurant! read more

I have to say, the new location is so much better. It's much bigger and well designed. However, I was a bit disappointed with the food. The calamari appetizer did not taste like calamari at all. I ordered a shrimp tempura handroll with no rice and they were so skimpy with the shrimp tempura. They put one tiny piece. Most places I go always put 2 pieces, so that was disappointing. The albacore carpaccio was okay. I wish the pieces were cut more finely. My favorite thing was the halibut carpaccio. That actually tasted really good. The so #2 handroll was also good. All in all, I was a bit disappointed, but I would coke back for the halibut. read more

Celebrating my 30th birthday at So Sushi with lunch omakase, and honestly, it couldn't have been better. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting--just the right mix of chic and comfortable. Perfect for something special but still low-key, which is exactly what I was looking for. The staff was so kind and attentive. They made me feel really welcomed, and as a sweet surprise, they gave me free matcha ice cream to celebrate my birthday. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made my day feel even more special. The food? Amazing. Every single piece of sushi was so fresh and flavorful, and you can tell the chef puts so much care into every detail. If you're thinking about treating yourself (or someone else), I can't recommend So Sushi enough. It was such a memorable way to kick off my 30th! read more
