    Nailed it yet again!! A few new items and I just can't get enough of this sushi deliciousness. The owner was filling in that night at the bar and very kind as well as super attentive. Total win all the way around!

    Albacore special roll
    Steve S.

    I was in the area, decided to Yelp for some food and this sushi spot popped out and I'm happy it did. The spot has very delicious specialty rolls. I tried an albacore special roll and a chef's special salmon crispy onion roll. Both were extremely delicious, with Albacore special roll having something that looks like black truffle on top and Chef's salmon roll having delicious diced tomatoes as one of the ingredients, while being topped with a mountain of warm crispy onions with a drop of sweet sauce. Unique and phenomenal flavor profile for those rolls. The spot itself has that standard sushi spot design full of dark yellow wood finishes, as I recall. The service is very friendly, made me feel welcome. Will definitely be back to try some more unique stuff!

    This place is delicious! Will definitely be going again. They had a great selection of sushi. We tried so many different kinds. My favorite being the white salmon! Their garlic edamame has officially become my favorite! It seems like it's marinated then fried? Hard to tell but it was amazing. Service was great. Waiters recommended cold sake and we ended up getter an extra bottle! It was called Kurosawa. Brother got a beer. The glass was sooo cold, the foam froze on the rim. He liked it. Ambiance was nice. They had a tank with live shrimp! To eat.. I didn't do it, they were too cute!

    Salmon skin salad
    Michael R.

    The service at this restaurant is incredible. Thanks to a cool and awesome server we had named Pat or Patrick. He was attentive, made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make it the best dining experience we ever had. Fast, fun and with a smile is the way he rolls. He works everyday except Tuesday. So if you want the best service and a great attitude come in and ask for Patrick! Also make sure to leave a BIG TIP because he deserves it! The music at the restaurant was nice also. The food was great. Came out quickly. Red snapper was delicious. Salmon skin salad was good, udon was really good, scallop cut roll was okay but we didn't like the spicy mayo they used. Blue crab hand roll presentation was lacking but tasted pretty good.

    Beef teriyaki with vegetables tempura lunch bento box.

    Service is good, restaurant is very clean. I visited during lunch, ordered beef teriyaki Bento Box. It was so good. Vegetable tempura is one of the best.

    Golden Tiger Roll
    Jandie W.

    WOW!!! This roll is mouthwatering good! The customer service is always incredible and the food is top notch! I used to swear by Ken of Japan... but this place is a whole different level and is my new favorite!

    911 roll
    Mike T.

    I think we found our new sushi, establishment. Since O2 closed we have been trying various spots. We arrived around 7pm., the restaurant was busy. We walked in and were seated immediately. We sat at on the tables in the front of the restaurant, so I can't really say how big the restaurant was. There is a sushi bar. They have Sapporo, on tap, served in frozen schooners. My wife had a Chardonnay. No sake this time but they do offer it. We started with the yellowtail appetizer with yuzu and spicy tuna on crispy rice. The yellowtail was 4 pieces so everyone had a piece. The yellowtail was thinly sliced with yuzu sauce and scallions on top. The fish was fresh and tasty. The spicy tuna was 6 pieces, it was a solid dish. Next we ordered kampachi and mackerel sushi. Both fishes were fresh and had great flavor. The size of the sushi was a perfect one bite piece. Off the special board we ordered the triple belly special. It was 3 pieces each of yellowtail, toro, and salmon belly. The presentation was nice, the sashimi pieces were large, two bite size. Now we moved onto rolls. Salmon crunch roll was good, 8 good size pieces. The 911 roll was served with a chili oil, on the side. Great heat and flavor. Now we decide we have enough room for 1 more piece of sushi so we opted for the wagyu special. Tender torched pieces of wagyu on top of sushi rice wrapped in nori topped with caviar and pickled wasabi. It was truly a gift , wrapped with a bow. The meal was pricey but it was worth it. We swill definitely return and try more specials.

    The best date night beer.

    Once again, amazing!! Theirs no other place in Simi that makes better sushi or has better customer service. Tomadachi is simply the best!!

    Daniilu O.

    We came here last night, my family had a variety of sushi, yellow tail sashimi, sweet shrimp and a few rolls. Place was clean and organized and the food was delicious. One of the best sushi we had ever had. However the service was not the best, no one check on us on refills, or if we needed anything. Every time we needed something we had to wave at the waitress or go get it ourselves.

    Shrimp, tuna and salmon
    Boj o.

    Hidden gem of Simi Valley. Their sushi was top notch. Quality of freshness was something to behold for. The flavor was outstanding. The combination of ingredients was well balanced. Their service was superb and it added to our overall experience. Inside is simple and clean. The chefs were kind and accommodating. Service was great!

    Good food very friendly stuff nice small restaurant

    Ask the Community - Tomodachi Sushi - Simi Valley

    Is this the same tomodachi that was in westwood near ucla many years ago?

    Nope, every Tomodachi is independently owned and unaffiliated from one another!

    Is there all you can eat here, if not any recommended spots?

    They do not (at this time) offer all you can eat. The quality of the fish at this restaurant is OUTSTANDING! It's not a place you'd want to just gorge out at, it's more of a family friendly high quality sushi place. Highly recommend it.

    Do you offer all you can eat?

    No, but the quality of the fish speaks for itself :)

I think there might be a language barrier. The next man brought out my pho soon afterwards and he was more talkative. My pho soup was delicious and they give you a decent amount. The price is also very reasonable but the soda was more on the expensive end. The women who seated me brought me my bill so I didn't have to walk to the front to pay. I would come back to this location again but I now know to not get a soda from here.

    I'm not sure what's going on with our usual go-to Chinese restaurant in Newbury Park, but after a…read moreyear and a half absence from getting takeout from them, they don't appear to be open. Their voicemail message continues to say "temporarily closed." So I started searching closer to home, which is a challenge because I don't usually view any Simi Valley restaurant as being worthy of our patronage... yet, I searched anyway. I found Bao Su on Yelp, so we decided to give them a try based on other Yelper reviews. Bottom line is that my husband and I were incredibly impressed with their food, not to mention, happy that it is so much closer. We ordered the following (takeout): Shrimp Fried Rice Shrimp with Lobster Sauce Szechuan Style Eggplant Sizzling Chicken Mongolian Beef I had a bit of a problem deciphering their menu because there weren't a lot of details as to ingredients, so I took chances and prayed they were dishes we've had before. Everything was delicious, plentiful and mostly recognizable... with the exception of the shrimp with lobster sauce. That was more soup-like and watered down from what we're used to, but it was still really good. All dishes were loaded with protein and vegetables, well seasoned and sauced, and textures were soft or crunchy, just as we knew them to be... and just as we loved them. We've since ordered from them again, and they were (very happily) consistently delicious. We are sooooooo happy to now have a LOCAL Chinese restaurant that we can trust and enjoy. We may even dine there and not do the takeout thing for a change. (I really would like to ask them what some of their other dishes are on the menu cuz I would like more options, truth be told. However, if the dishes above are the only ones I would ever choose to order, I'm fine with that, too.)

Just a few minutes away, tucked into the corner of a shopping area next to a Target, it is easy to get to, easy to order, and available for takeout or dine-in. The menu offered several tasty-sounding vegetarian sandwiches, so I really had to spend some time deciding before I even got there. I settled on the Californian (house-marinated artichoke hearts, avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, green leaf lettuce, herb aioli) and some kettle chips as an add-on. It does come with a small green side salad (Urbane House Side Salad), with a vinaigrette dressing. The sandwich was very tasty, with plenty of vegetables, and clearly had artichokes aplenty. I ordered with extra aioli on the side, but in the end did not need it, as the sandwich was very moist as made. (I did use it as a dip for the chips - no waste here!)
