Key things They have uni Salmon sashimi 6 pieces for $17 and the slices are sizable They have set meals for $23.50 - akin to a bento box. With options to upgrade for an extra price. All in all, a nice sushi place and welcome addition to the plaza. read more

I love this spot. I always enjoy a place where I can get great sushi. I enjoy this flavors they provide from their Crunch rolls to Truffle albacore rolls to Katsu Don. The other options they have will not disappoint. The staff is great as Jocelyn was on point and very friendly. Parking is a non issue as it's in the same lot as the gym and the other restaurants. read more

Beautiful restaurant inside with great service. My partner and I tried an assortment of items. We both liked the monkfish liver because it a rich yet citrusy. The yellowtail collar was a favorite because it was so juicy yet it had a crispy char. We got many nigiri as well as a kaisen-don. Most of the nigiri tasted fresh and good. For the kaisen-don, it was so much albacore and so much seared fish that it wasn't balanced. It seemed like a way to serve fish that they have a lot of or have leftovers of. Not worth the $49.50 price tag. I would not get the kaisen-don again, but I would return for the other items we had. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday right after they opened and they got busy quickly so the word must be spreading about this place. Lots on the menu and so much to choose from. Fish was very fresh and rolls were a very good size and tasted really good. Yuzu halibut roil was my favorite. Service was great- friendly, prompt and very attentive. Restaurant is new and very clean. Lots of parking since it's in a large shopping center. read more

Another amazing fresh from the sea type joint and great service, what else can we ask for? Simple and good lighting for us to appreciate the dishes presentation. Wife craving for sushi and my son found this hot and new joint. I think they just barely open this month. But they are like professionals already so I take it they have another open before. Fish quality is amazing, thick cut sashimi and tasty seaweed We tried to order as many variants as we can but so many to choose from so this is what we ended up with. Give them a try and you will be back. I can see ourselves coming in once a week. Keep it up guys read more

I'm so excited to have excellent new sushi spot near my home! Mom and I were greeted immediately by Nina and seated right away. She was so enthusiastic about the menu and helpful with what to try first. We shared the Northridge roll and eight piece omakase. The Northridge roll was excellent. I especially loved the mango salsa. The presentation was also gorgeous! All my Yelpies are going to enjoy taking photos. The omakase was excellent! My favorite was the halibut. Chef-san added parilla inside the nigiri, which enhanced the fresh flavor of the fish. The red snapper was another favorite because of it's smokey flavor. Seriously, every piece of fish was so buttery and fresh. Next to the nigiri, there was a dish of wakamomo (young peach). It was so refreshing and delicious, I was tempted to steal mom's portion. The decoration is classy and open. I am a little concerned it might get loud when crowds come, but lunchtime was perfect. David, Nina, and the other staff, you are all off to an excellent start and I hope to become a regular. I can't wait to try other dishes. read more

Mind blown!!! Great service, incredible sushi rice, and the fish is of the highest quality. I tried this for lunch during a weekday. I sat at the bar and asked for the 8 piece sushi omakase (chef's choice). The chef served each piece one at a time with an explanation of the fish. It was an experience. The sushi rice was incredible. And it paired so nice with the fish. I just can't say enough. Nothing stood out because everything stood out. If you are less adventurous with sushi don't fear, as they also make rolls and offer other non fish items on the menu. It is on the pricier side but it was so worth it. It's well worth more than they charged. I will say it tied my top two places in the Valley but for now it's my go to place. And I'm a total sushi snob. read more

Sushi Kaen - Chutoro Tuna - Japanese Near Me - Northridge, California

delicious sushi! fresh and so yummy. the negitoro cutroll, the spicy salmon handroll, and the yuzu halibut roll were my favs. the northridge roll had seared salmon but it was a little too salty. the sea bass was good, i like the crispy potato on top. the fish itself could have been a little softer and more tender. we also got some sushi nigiri. its per piece instead of the standard 2 pieces. its a little small for the price but delicious. service is friendly. food takes a bit to come out during busy hours. i recommend giving it a try! pretty yummy! read more

Oh my goodness gracious, this is my new favorite sushi spot! Even without a liquor license yet, it is well worth the visit. Fish is so fresh and awesome flavor combinations. The service is top notch - attentive staff, even the owner is taking orders all while smiling. Not a huge restaurant but brings the authentic sushi bar to life, thank goodness it's so close to me. I cannot wait till they get their liquor license so I can enjoy an oyster or uni shooter, (or two). read more

This is our first time here. We love sushi and Japanese restaurants. This one just opened up about three weeks ago. It is a beautiful space. Staff is super nice! We were greeted right away. We sat at the bar. No liquor license YET. We were told maybe end of April/May ??? Nina was our server along with Eduardo. They were both excellent! Really sweet. You order with them at the sushi bar and tables. They have a large variety of menu items which looked great! We ordered a bunch of items. Asked for my favorite wasabi, Kizami, pickled wasabi and they had it :-) yay! SO SO good (see my pic). It is $4 extra. We started with the shishito peppers, mixed tempura, and spicy tuna crispy rice. All were really good. Tempura was fresh and yummy. Shishitos were tasty. The only thing I would do different next time is get the sauce on the side for the crispy rice. The picture on the menu did not show any sauce, so I didn't know. Too much sauce for me. If you're a saucy sushi person you will like it. The nigiri is one piece per order so we order 2 of everything for the two of us. The stand outs for us (out of the nigiri) were the Red Sea bream, yellowtail belly, blue fin tuna (and a few others but I honestly forgot all I ordered). The 911 roll was very good (we got with soy paper). Would def get again. The sushi chef (I didn't get his name, sorry) was really nice. Gave us a squid dish on the house. I thought that was a really sweet. I like squid, but the baby squid dish was not for me. I ate it, but I wouldn't order it. Not my jam. And I am a lover of squid. Not sure if I've ever had baby squid, but this wasn't for my taste buds. Beautiful presentation though. Thank you! The restaurant is beautiful! They have one TV (bb game was on, which we appreciate being sports fans). Music playing. 5+++ stars for the customer service! The staff couldn't be nicer. The food came out in a timely manner and our order was taken right away. Never felt rushed. Really great customer service. No complaints. We wish them much success! We hope they do very well! We will be back! There's more things I want to try :-p read more

I wanted to love Sushi Kaen right off the bat but after dining here today, I think I may need to visit a couple more times to give a 4 or 5 star rating. We were greeted kindly at the door and promptly seated but unfortunately the service declined a lot after putting in our drink order. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Chicken Karaage, Baked Philly Roll, Albacore Special Roll, and Hot Night Roll. Our appetizers were brought out at the same time which we appreciated. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice had great flavor but the crispiness was not consistent and some pieces were softer than others. The Chicken Karaage was probably the best bite of the night; it was crispy, juicy, and had a very subtle flavor that paired nicely with the garlic sauce. The rolls were also delicious and the fish was fresh, but we sadly did not receive the Albacore Special Roll. By the time someone came to check on our table, we had already finished our other items and were ready to head out. Despite the service today, the food we had was delicious. The interior is also very beautiful and it had an upscale feel to it. As they are still in the soft opening phase, I understand they may be working out the kinks. I'd love to come back and give Sushi Kaen another chance as it's such a nice space and a great local business to support. read more

Came to the soft opening of the newest sushi spot in Northridge for lunch. A perfect place to enjoy a variety of creative rolls & appetizers at a fair price. The service was amazing, our waiter Eduardo was kind & attentive. Every bite we had was phenomenal. Highly recommend the Yellowtail Delight Roll if you love spice. It's located in a big plaza with lots of surrounding parking. If you're looking for a new sushi spot with lovely ambience & service, definitely come by to Sushi Kaen! If you aren't a sushi lover there are a few non-seafood options as well! read more

New sushi spot! I came during their soft open during an off time, around 4:30, and it wasn't busy--just a couple diners in there. I was seated immediately, and the service overall was great. My servers were really nice. I ordered the salmon love sampler, the truffle salmon roll, and the golden Philadelphia roll. All were really good. The fish quality here for the salmon at least is solid. The truffle salmon roll had a delightful sear, and the truffle pieces were generous. The golden Philadelphia roll pieces were huge. I think the prices for everything were good too, especially for the quality. The restaurant itself is nice and modern, with wood detailing on the walls and a nice sushi bar if you want to sit in front of the chefs. There are booths as well as tables. Overall, I'll be coming back! Glad to see a quality sushi spot open up in the north valley area. read more

Came here for dinner and everything was super fresh. The salmon nigiri literally melted in my mouth and the baked mussels were really flavorful. Chef Shawn was friendly and checked on us throughout the meal. The space has a modern vibe and felt really clean. Definitely coming back! read more

When comparing similar sushi, restaurants, i.e. not Michelin starred, nor AYCE, it's easy to give this place five stars. It is new ownership and a new restaurant, it used to be an old sushi spot, and this new place far surpasses the previous one. The quality of the fish was excellent, it was a good price point for what you're getting, and the staff and manager are excellent. We have two small kids who came and enjoyed dinner with us and they brought them out some free lemon sorbet at the end. It was a really nice treat and something that was definitely not necessary for them to do. I would definitely come again! read more

I've been to a lot of sushi spots across the Valley, and Sushi Kaen easily ranks in my top three. The quality here is honestly out of this world. Every piece of fish we had was incredibly fresh and the textures were perfect. I'm usually not a fan of seared salmon, but the salmon truffle completely changed my mind it was hands down my favorite bite of the night. Absolutely delicious. We ordered a few dishes beyond what we originally planned, and everything impressed. The octopus appetizer was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced and really complemented the dish. The Yuki No Hana was also a standout such a unique combination of textures and flavors. The crispy radish paper added a great bite while the apple brought a subtle sweetness that tied everything together beautifully. On top of the food, the staff was attentive and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. Overall, if you're looking for high quality sushi in the Valley, Sushi Kaen is a must visit. read more

The fact that, Sushi Kaen, recently opened up in Northridge, was a good enough excuse to pay them a first time visit. A search on the internet revealed their wide and colorful picturesque menu with a tempting variety of items. While the place is small, it is well constructed. Wherever you are, there is a full view of the sushi chefs behind the counter. The ambiance is simple but elegant. My appetizer was the garlic edamame. Nothing special, could hardly taste any garlic. For the main, I generally prefer sashimi over sushi and therefore chose the Bara - Chirashi (Finely Diced Sashimi Over Seasoned Sushi Rice). The dish arrived at my table, picture perfect just as striking and as depicted in the menu. It had the optics for sure, but lacked in substance. The presentation was loaded with larger tamago, and only small flimsy pieces of sashimi dispersed throughout . While there was freshness in the entree, they really skimped on the fish. The sushi rice was flavorful. Overall, for $27.50, the Bara-Chirashi could have been so much better. Service was thoughtful, informative and timely. read more

We went for date night during their soft opening, and it did not disappoint! The staff were fantastic -- they went out of their way to accommodate my special request and even recommended a different menu option when my original choice wasn't possible. We ordered from several sections of the menu (photos included!), and everything was great. The restaurant is spotless, the booths are comfortable, and the sushi bar looks beautiful -- I might sit there next time. Overall, we loved the experience and will definitely be back! read more

Best New Japanese Restaurant! They have a wide variety of food with a high level of flavor centric dishes. What does that mean? Just try the brussel sprouts appetizer. The kids actually ate it and destroyed it. We tried some special rolls--deliciously sweet and umami as expected. The real surprise was the variety of hot stone bowl-don. We tried the sea bream-don and it was perfectly cooked, freshly fileted, without any bones. Served over hot rice and paired with a truly wonderful salad filled with various japanese pickles (sunomono and fukujunsuke). We also ordered their ramen offerings; miso and tonkotsu bases, both with charsu, but charred with I believe tamari - flavor town. Served with pickled ginger and a poached (instead of soft boiled) egg. The tonkotsu came with the ever popular black garlic. For the appetizers, we tried their tako-yaki, gyoza, green mussels, shrimp tempura, and brussel sprouts--all full of flavor--good use of bonito and scallions. Probably the most interesting item we tried was a yuzu halibut sashimi over a ring of mango salad. Really thoughtful construction with a blend of sweet, fresh, crunchy, and acidic components to highlight the fish. It was decorated with squid ink wing chips and edible flowers. Very clean atmosphere. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive; trying to be of service whenever possible. The waitress even offered to help open up my daughter's apple juice (Martinelli's with the twist top) for her--super sweet of the waitress. Looks like a good date spot because it impresses quality and high end dining where the experience justifies the price without the price ruining the experience. For quality seafood, I would go here over The Lure. read more

My wife and I have found our new go to sushi spot. The fish is fresh and not only expertly handled but plates beautifully.

Joceline and Sky are fantastic servers who make you feel welcome and looked after.

Recently stumbled here and WOW! Fantastic sushi experience. The staff was kind and attentive. The food stands out from the run-of-the-mill sushi we've all grown accustomed to -- creative and full of unique flavors. I'm told the fish is flown in from Japan, and the quality definitely shows. I recommend the grilled squid, carpaccio, truffle love and belly love samplers, and the kaisen futomaki. New go-to spot, sorry calabasas! read more

Hey North Valley residents - we CAN have nice things. We CAN have good sushi. We don't have to go down to Ventura blvd, we have it HERE. I get it, we all love AYCE. There are many times that it makes sense and we have plenty of AYCE options around. But you have to occasionally go to Kaen and remember what really good sushi is about. Treat yourself. Go eat a pizza afterwards if you're feeling the pinch, but you need to remember what real sushi is like. There is a RADICAL difference in the quality of fish, the cuts, the way it's seasoned. Is it pretty? Yes, their presentation is great, but never at the expense of the way it TASTES. Another thing - their non-sushi dishes are AS good as the sushi. Which is unusual. Tempura, wagyu beef, cooked fish - it's amazing and so it's really really easy to bring children or people who don't eat raw fish here. I guarantee they will love the alternatives. read more

Prices are fair, the restaurant is very clean and organized. Please give them some grace when you come visit while they are still working on adjusting to the system, teamwork and being busy! Very impressed and have a feeling this place is there to stay for a long time! Congratulations on your opening and wishing you good luck and prosperity! read more

We visited this new sushi spot that just opened next to our house for our anniversary, and it was amazing!! From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The ambiance was calm and inviting and the minimalist modern Japanese aesthetic made this dining experience feel intimate and relaxing. The service was top-notch. Our servers, Eduardo and Nina, were attentive, friendly, and made the entire evening feel welcoming. The owner, David, was incredibly personable and took the time to connect with us and other customers, which added a great personal touch to the experience. The food was EXCELLENT across the board. The blue crab hand roll and baked snow crab hand roll were SO DELICIOUS!! We also ordered the garlic beans and brussel sprouts, which were both flavorful. My personal favorite was the truffle salmon blue crab roll, easily one of the best rolls I've ever had. The flavor was out of this world and the salt on top of the truffle just made my mouth water with every bite. It just kept getting better and better!! Compliments to the chef who obviously knows what they are doing !! Without exaggeration, this is the best sushi spot hands down and we're so happy it's right next to our house. We came for our anniversary this time, but we're already looking forward to coming back with our daughter, who loves sushi. Highly recommend. You're welcome ! read more

It's our fifth time coming here and every single time we tried something new. Every time it's been delicious. The fish is fresh, the flavors are great. You can tell it's good quality sushi that is very well priced. I spent way more at other sushi spots that had average sushi. The staff are great. They got me to try their sushi of the day that comes fresh from Japan and that didn't disappoint. The place is clean, smells clean.

I dont usually write reviews but this place was hands down the best sushi I have ever had so I had to make one. Took my parents out for an anniversary dinner and Im so glad we chose this place. The service was prompt and ambiance is elegant. Perfect for a date night or a simple casual meal We tried the A5 wagyu teppan-yaki, miso glazed Chilean sea bass, mixed tempura, and the mori 4 chef's choice sashimi. First off the miso glazed sea bass was so good I forgot to even take a picture of it after tasting it. The A5 wagyu was simply magnificent, all the flavors combined so well. The highlight of the dinner was the Mori 4 sashimi plate. Just look at the presentation.. every piece carefully placed. Everything was so fresh and you can taste the premium quality. The otoro just melts in your mouth, still having vivid dreams about it. Please you have to try this place, I can confidently say there is none like this in the valley read more
