Our server Baylie was so helpful and friendly, checked on us multiple times and offered the house specialties. The menu is gynormus and a little intimidating but afterwards I realized that usually you get 2 menus at any other sushi place, a paper one that you fill in and a hard copy menu where here you get the one. All our dishes were outstanding and fresh, the mixed sashimi was so good with a flavorful sauce. Good portions and we all shared and there was plenty. Prices are reasonable for what we ordered. Will definitely come back to explore and enjoy the menu. Well done Go Fish, Bravissimo Bon appetitto!

Their attention…read moreto detail is absolutely outstanding, and they consistently provide some of the best service we've experienced anywhere. They set the standard and honestly should be the ones training everyone in the restaurant, including the manager. Tim is another huge reason we love this place. He's the only one who seems to wear a smile and a genuine personality every single visit. He never forgets my son or me and always goes out of his way to make us feel welcome and take extra-special care of us. The fish is always incredibly fresh, the food is consistently delicious, and every dish is beautifully prepared. My only suggestion would be the music. I'd love to hear upbeat rock 'n' roll or something with a little more energy instead of the slow, sleepy music that's usually playing. A livelier soundtrack would better match the vibrant atmosphere and elevate the entire dining experience. Thank you, Sarah, Daniel, and Tim, for making every visit such a pleasure. You are the heart of this restaurant!

One of them said 'what about Sumo?' I'm thinking "yikes, 400 lbs coming at me, and h e a t "....no, no, no-Sumo, Japanese Restaurant for sushi! Over in Newbury Park... I said that sounds great. They immediately catered to us and we ordered. Great service even though it was busy and people were coming in behind us (5:00pm). Tuna, salmon, crab, shrimp, tempura, that pretend one called 'California roll'-ALL were delicious!!! The 'proteins' were fresh and tasted very good; the rice was not sticky or gummy like sometimes sushi rice can appear-in fact the rolls were not over done with rice, just the right amount. The inside of the restaurant was nice but the food was more important at the time. We were all more than full and happy for it, SUMO-we will be back! If you like sushi-this restaurant is a winner.

The Japanese Sukiyaki base was perfectly mild and flavorful -- exactly what I needed. Paired with tender chicken and fresh veggies, it hit the spot without being heavy. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The restaurant itself is adorable -- bright, floral decor that feels welcoming and clean. Service was super friendly and attentive (shoutout to Alina for the great service! ). Portions are generous for the price, and the quality is top-tier. I also grabbed a simple hot tea that was perfect. This place is a true fusion win: authentic Thai flavors + customizable hot pots + excellent boba. Family-owned vibes shine through in every bite. If you're in the Westlake Village / Thousand Oaks area, do yourself a favor and go. I'll definitely be back soon -- highly recommend! Pro tip: Try the mini hot pot with Sukiyaki or Miso and chicken. You won't regret it.

After I posted this, the store immediately called me and said that it was a mistake and said they…read morewere crediting me the $15 tip that was inadvertently put on my bill and then gave me a credit for my next visit. If this hadn't happened I would've given it a five star because the food was outstanding and what I like best about the food was I said I wanted it hot and it came spicy! Most restaurants are afraid to spice it up they were not and I certainly appreciated that . I placed a takeout order which went through smoothly got to the restaurant picked up the order and noticed that the bill was $15.43 more than it should be. They tacked on a tip. I was never advised to that on the online service I did not click on anything regarding a tip. I brought this to the attention of the servers at the restaurant and they said they didn't have any idea who would've done that they did not offer to refund the $15 and I will not return. It is an outright robbery.

We decided to eat at their restaurant, and promptly got seated right away. We ordered two sushi rolls and a starter of crispy rice spicy tuna. The service during the actual meal was very minimal, though, and nothing special I guess since they weren't cooking in front of us. The meal itself was good! They loaded up the spicy tuna on the small crispy rice pieces and that was really tasty. Also, the price wasn't bad, given that they also have a happy hour as well. All in all, not the best sushi place in the world, but not bad either. The rolls were pretty good, and the appetizer/ smaller starter was even better. Worth trying at least once.

When I hear the word Ramen, I think of the cheap stuff I used to eat in college. But today I went to Hoshi Ramen in Newbury Park after friends raved about it. The place is definitely small and they can probably sit about 20 people, but with food is good they're going to need to expand their tables. I started off with the steamed pork buns. The texture of the bun was excellent, and the pork belly was perfect with the amount of green onions and lettuce, along with a spicy mayo that had a little kick at the end! I probably should've stopped there because those things were filling, but no. I had to order the Shrimp Tempura Udon! When I saw the bowl, I said, "this is going to be a lot, and I'm probably not gonna finish it!" the tempura was cooked perfectly, and although many restaurants overcook shrimp, which makes it taste like rubber, these people nailed it. Great tempura and the shrimp was soft and tender. The Udon noodles were cooked perfectly with great texture and the broth was not seen and runny, but was hardy and filling. It was a perfect blend of flavors and I wish I had a bigger appetite, although my mom always told me that my eyes were bigger than my stomach!" Although I didn't finish the entire Udon bowl, I am definitely glad that I followed my friends recommendations because the food here is tremendous and I'm sure their clientele is going to grow. My only critique would be that the black iced tea was $6.00 and they really kind staff gave me a to go cup so I could try to digest this incredible meal on my way home. If you haven't tried a real Ramen place before, this isn't the crap you buy in the store. This is 100% Great Ramen. You won't be disappointed.

The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. The restaurant itself is cozy, clean, and well-organized. Customer service was amazing; the lady at the counter was sweet, welcoming, and helpful.

Nori Japanese Grill has clearly remained a local favorite and standing the test of time like that deserves a round of applause. I've driven by this spot on Thousand Oaks Boulevard so many times and after running errands one afternoon, I found myself starving and wanting something casual where I could get in and out quickly. The restaurant is super casual, and you order at the counter, but they take care of everything after that. Your food is brought right to your table, and honestly, I love this style of dining. You pay upfront, so once you're finished eating, you can simply head out whenever you're ready. It's perfect for a quick lunch. I was being a basic girl when I came and kept it simple with shrimp tempura and a California roll. The food here is solid, simple, and satisfying. I'm not here to tell you it's "the best sushi I've ever had" but it's just classic Japanese comfort food done well. The shrimp tempura was perfectly crispy and I liked the tempura side sauce for dipping. The california roll was no frills but tasty. For about $25 after tip, I got a drink, a sushi roll, and shrimp tempura, which honestly isn't bad in today's economy. It definitely beats grabbing fast food or eating at the same old boring chain restaurants. If you find yourself in Thousand Oaks looking for a quick, satisfying lunch, stop by and support this longtime local staple. It definitely hit the spot!
