First, my Chilli Lime Ramen was absolutely fabulous!!! I LOVE this Ramen, soooo tasty and really hits the spot. The broth is exactly what I was craving. The meat pairs perfectly with this broth with the flavors dancing in my mouth. It was so delicious that I kept eating even when I got full so then I was really full at the end but so worth it. I wasn't sure that I would like the cucumber sunumono because it's full of carrots, but one bite and I couldn't stop. The cucumber and carrots taste very fresh and cooling and whatever it is they're soaked in, it's perfect. I don't like carrots, but I ate the whole thing they tasted amazing. Overall I'm so impressed by Ramen Izakaya, I will definitely be ordering from here again in the near future!!!

We came to this sushi spot in North Hollywood, and I honestly think the owners might be Thai, but…read moreeither way it was a really cool place. I wasn't too hungry, but I ordered the seared scallops w/ soy wrap, and they were actually really, really good. The crispy rice and shrimp tempura were also really good. The service was great, everything came out quickly, and the place itself is cute. It's definitely a smaller spot. Parking kind of sucks since there's not really any, but the food and service made up for it. I only gave it four stars because of the parking, not the service. I can definitely see myself coming back here!

Chiba absolutely remains a 5/5 for my family and I! We once again came by without a reservation,…read morethis time on a Friday night. We totally thought we'd have to wait but were able to be seated immediately. We also learned this time that while the parking lot remains ultra packed, there is a large outdoor parking lot the side street over for the businesses there that are closed at night (minus the gym) so I think its fine to park there. Spicy Tuna Okoge 5/5, we came for this and this is what I titled "Crunchy rice spicy tuna appetizer" in my last review, pasted here: very fun, comes cut into 4 pieces, definitely a fun appetizer, our waitress recommended this and said it's one of their more popular items Spicy Salmon cut roll 5/5, mildly spicy but leaves you with a stronger spicy aftertaste, soft and very fresh! We would reorder this! Scallop cut roll 3.5/5, fresh but just felt like it was missing something. I think the scallops need more than just a rice wrap. This was improved with soy sauce I think in the future we'd stick to ordering scallops in a more special roll

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about Chiba - it's been one of my favorite restaurant…read morespots since 2008 when I was first introduced to it through a close friend whose dad used to go to the OG location back in the day. To this day, whenever he's in town, I'm there with them, sitting at the bar. The food here is made with love and every item on the menu feels incredibly authentic and flavorful. From sashimi to rolls to the hot dishes, it's all an experience. One of our favorites is the Salmon Toro with Black Caviar- rich, buttery salmon topped with caviar that just elevates the bite. We also love the snapper, uni, oyster uni shooters, soft shell crab hand rolls, and the spicy tuna on crispy rice- honestly, every menu item we've tried has been incredible. And the sweet shrimp (amaebi) is a must. They serve it beautifully fresh and then tempura-batter the shrimp heads so you get that crispy, savory crunch after the delicate sweetness of the shrimp. It's one of those details that makes Chiba so special. Chiba doesn't just serve food, it serves memories. It's fresh, soulful, and just downright delicious. If you love real, honest Japanese flavor, this place should absolutely be on your list.

New and clean design for the restaurant (and nice, accesible and gender-inclusive bathrooms). Simple bar-only seating and friendly excellent service. Food wise, you can't go wrong with anything in the menu, which is why you need to watch your consumption! If you're at a loss, go for one of their handroll sets or their other set meals. Cucumber salad I way more than you expect and includes seaweed and micro greens. From the crudo, I've had the yuzu yellowtail, the seared salmon and seared scallops. All are great but I can't resist salmon -- nice and fatty. All the hand rolls are good but again I lean toward salmon or the creamy crab. Even the nigiriniw good. Don't miss the seared salmon or the sweet scallop. I had matcha iced tea and a sweet ume plum wine. Sweet but strong. Matcha cream was a good portion, with berries If you park in the Fish Grill or Paris Baguette lot, it's 1 hr. In the garage you pay but it's affordable. I'll be back!

Simply for his soul alone I deove home excited to try his sushi for the first time, and man was it super delish!!! I especially appreciate the variety of eel options, something some other sushi places don't have. Everything was bomb, but my top two favorites were the baked garlic shrimp roll and the dragon roll. The crispie rice with spicy tuna was good, but ive had better and I believe he torched/baked the tuna instead of it being raw. Overall, Id get sushi from here again and if theres an off chance no one is there, my husband and I would def love to chitchat with while receiving our orders and eating in-front of him bar style.

I definitely recommend getting reservations ahead of time. The best seating is the beautiful courtyard in the back. Our server was Aidan. Thank you Aidan for your great service. The dishes were staggered and family style so we didn't feel rushed nor were we waiting too long in between. There is valet parking.
