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.

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.

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

I have gone to So Sushi twice now. My friend loves this place, but I thought it was an average sushi restaurant.The prices are pretty much the same as going to Katsuya. The quality was decent and service was food.

I have been here a few times. Every time I leave with a smile and a full belly. If you get one thing let it be this: the BPS sushi or roll. It is insanely good. Bonus points that the atmosphere is dim/romantic, no ugly over head lights.

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.

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. This restaurant was clean, great atmosphere and the service was amazing. About the food - top notch! Can't wait to go back. So good. I'd recommend making a reservation but we didn't know but got seated almost immediately. Thank You.

So Sushi is such a little gem in the valley! The sushi is always super fresh, and even though it's usually packed, it doesn't feel too loud or overwhelming. Prices are pretty fair compared to other sushi spots, and honestly, this place is just a must-try if you love sushi The service is on point!!

What are the prices for OMAKASE? I just see $50 and up, but can I get an idea of prices in terms of what you get for it?

They do not have all you can eat. We went and I cannot post the answer so I have to word it as a question.?

You are absolutely correct :)

Do they ever answer their phone? It's so hard to order from them.

They do but most of the time it's sooo busy because everyone knows how good it is, my suggestion is to go in person

How much is the omakase?

Depends on what the chef wants to serve that day, the fish of the day and how many courses you want. You can tell him you want no more and he stops. We had 9 and we paid 130

Can I make a reservation for 6pm?

I'm pretty sure you can make reservations

Do they do Reservations?

Not when I went

Do they have parking?

Yes, it's the valley!

Do you have outdoor seating?

Yes they have outdoor seating since they reopened because of covid it's actually really nice out

How do I make a reservation?

They don't take reservations. You really have to arrive in person and put your name down. You can put your name on the list via Yelp, but that doesn't really guarantee a reservation. They will only account for you once you check in

What's their telephone ? The one they have on Yelp is not working .

I just called and I was able to get through. They don't answer when they're closed.

Does this place have an all you can eat option?

no they don't

Any Vegan options here?

I believe you can let them know what you would like to eat and they can substitute for you.

This has been on my bookmarks forever! My wife and I walked in, no reservations and they seated us…read morepretty quickly. Excited as I was, I'm glad we came here, Michelin star says it all. One of the best sushi spots I've had a in a while actually. We didn't really do any appetizers and went straight in for the fish. Started off with a couple of hand rolls, we did the crab hand roll and O toro hand roll. Crab hand roll wasn't as impressive, I've had better to be honest. I didn't let that experience ruin it for me because the toro hand roll was delicious. I think they add a piece of mint and it complimented the hand roll. Very crunchy nori wrapper and good rice to fish ratio. For our sushi we started with chu toro tuna, salmon belly, and halibut. Super fresh melt in your mouth quality. Halibut was interesting with the truffle, first time definitely won't be the last. We ended it with red snapper and black snapper. Absolutely amazing, I think the black snapper or the red snapper was slightly charred. It was so good. To say the least, this restaurant was worth it!

I recently visited Sushi Enya with my husband- though I liked the experience and food I think there…read morecould be slight improvements there. When I made reservations on the phone I asked about the latest reservation and confirmed 10 pm - however I asked if I could sit at the bar and they said not at that time since they closed at 11. When we arrived, there was a couple coming in at 10 and sat at bar...maybe just miscommunication but tha could have prevented us from consuming our food quick and skipping on alcohol since the table we got was not the best. Sushi felt very fresh and there's something about the way they make the rolls that feels different about other places (not sure if in a good way) Great staff and sushi chefs- they were super fast moving from one course to the next one.

A modern take on omakase that is Sushi Kaneyoshi's fun nightlife counterpart. Hosted in the same…read morebuilding (the same fishy smell permeates the space) at an intimate counter for about 10 guests, the decor of the space is less sterile and clean and more jazzy Tokyo hipster. While the fish quality here is great, you will get more bites that seem a lot more experimental with flavors and garnishes. I didn't like every single bite but I expected that. A lot more focus on creative cocktails and drink pairings instead of just sake or wine. This is a great place to try Japanese whiskey, they even have little lockers where regular patrons can store their expensive bottles they've bought for when they return, and you are welcome to grab an additional drink and chill in the space afterwards if you'd like. The chefs here were a lot more personable and fun with more of a bar vibe than a traditional omakase. Service was great, dedicated bartender was great, and though it's not the best sushi I've ever tasted, I would still bring someone back here for a unique experience. Brought my friend here for her bday and we left full and happy and a little drunk so I'd say it was a successful night!

Great food! Great crew!…read more However, they allowed 2 obnoxious couples to just make it for an uncomfortably loud dinner. Thai is not how an omakase experience should unfold. Such a shame because otherwise it would have been a great experience. But I cannot excuse them for allowing these other guys to just behave so rudely, like Neanderthal, and not say a thing.

came here on a wednesday night with my bf for a date and... lowkey obsessed…read more first of all -- they don't take reservations. like at all. we got lucky because we went kinda late and there was no wait, but i can 100% see this place getting packed the space is TINY tiny. like true hole-in-the-wall vibes. but in a way that actually feels authentic, not curated. genuinely felt like we were in japan for a second -- nothing flashy, just simple, cozy, and real also pls know before you go -- this is NOT your california roll / teriyaki / noodles type of spot. it's straight sushi. very no-frills, very traditional they literally make each piece right in front of you, one by one, which makes the whole experience feel super intentional and fresh and that's exactly why it hits. the fish quality is so good, everything tasted super clean and fresh without trying too hard. no gimmicks, just really solid sushi it's also super lowkey which i loved for date night. not loud, not chaotic, just chill and intimate def one of those places you almost don't want to post about... go try it!!!

Spent a lovely, relaxed evening at this sushi spot…read more The ambiance stood out right away--clean, calm, and just the right amount of atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy your meal, and have a good conversation. The food was consistently good. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a few signature rolls that felt thoughtfully done without trying too hard. Service was another highlight--easygoing, attentive in a subtle way, and never intrusive. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that a few dishes didn't quite have that "wow" factor. But sometimes, I appreciate a place that simply gets everything right without overcomplicating it. Definitely somewhere I'd return to--and perhaps bring the right company next time.
