Yanagi Sushi

Yanagi Sushi is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. The staff go above and beyond to ensure every aspect of your dining experience is perfect.Now, let's talk about the sushi. The quality of the fish here is second to none--fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Each bite showcases the chef's commitment to excellence.The standout for me was the black snapper carpaccio with truffle. Simply put, it's one of the best sushi dishes I've ever had. The delicate flavors of the snapper, perfectly complemented by the earthy aroma of truffle, created a symphony of flavors that I'll be dreaming about for weeks.Yanagi Sushi is a must-visit for sushi lovers. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. I stubbed upon this place by accident and I will definitely be coming back. I a several sushi pieces and they were all 100% delicious. Service was good, and the environment was very friendly and quiet. You have to try it out.

The absolute best Sushi I'm The SFV hands downI have been going here for years. Sushi is always fresh, best Albacore, rolls are to die for, friendly staff, and so much moreI highly recommend coming here

I was surprised to come in for lunch and learn that the original owners had retired. Admittedly, I felt a bit dubious about whether the experience would still hold up. The exterior had been remodeled to feature large, vibrant images of sushi, while the interior remained largely the same. We were greeted warmly and sat at the sushi bar.As expected, the menu had been updated, but I was happy to see some old favorites still available: yanagi roll, mexican roll, jessica alba roll. I was curious about the featured items on the board. The sushi chef handed me my first order--the scallop carpaccio with honey yuzu--and simply said, "No soy sauce needed." In my head, I thought, we shall see.You know that scene in Ratatouille where Remy describes every flavor in a dish? That was me. My mouth was experiencing an explosion of flavors, with a perfect burst of lemon tying it all together. It was phenomenal. We ordered another because it was just that good. And he was correct, soy sauce was not needed nor was it used.We also tried the crunchy eel and blue crab roll, which was equally delicious. Honestly, writing about it now makes me wish I could go back already. I'll definitely be making the effort to visit more often! And hey, the price has gone up compared to the past but the reality is the price of everything has gone up and inevitably it will trickle down. But if the quality is top notch, it's worth it.

Came here one night to eat. Saw good reviews in youtube and instagram so I said we have to try it. Anyway we ordered the takoyaki to start with and it was disappointing. They served us with a 1 out of 5 hot outside and cold inside takoyaki! Meaning it is frozen and fried when someone orders it. We just let it go. Their sushi is pretty ok. I'be had better. Presentation is good though. Place is small but clean. Staff are nice. Could have given this place 4 stars if not for that takoyaki

Very tasty dishes. The pricing is pretty great too, especially their bento. The staff is very friendly and accommodating for picky eaters. It's nice and intimate inside. A great spot for a casual lunch or quiet date.

Came here on a first date at a recommendation of a friend. 23 years later, still love the place, and my wife, and my 19 year old twins, and my 32 year old step daughter. There is a saying that it's easy to love things that love you back.

Taste: 5Creativity/Authenticity: 5Atmosphere: 4Service: 5Bang for your buck: 5I eat a lot of sushi, literally got 2 reservation for sushi in a week! Dunno how I've never had this spot before, especially living in the valley for so long! Place is tucked away in a strip mall? Nothing fancy so casual dining and good for a date! Now to the food, I just had nozawa bar which is considered one of the best sushi in Los Angeles, and this place had some cuts of fish that could go toe to toe with the best!! Service here is also great, just like a high end restaurant, which is great news, now I don't have to travel as far. The only thing is the ambiance, very 90s style sushi bar, dark and aged. Other than that great experience, will be back to try omakase, i came at the wrong day of the week, when they ran out of a lot of the fish belly. Thanks

As we walked in, this family owned restaurant was very welcoming and friendly. It's a very small cozy restaurant and there are seats at the sushi bar and a couple more along the walls. It was our first time trying the sushi restaurant as we live nearby. We ordered the bento boxes and 2 sushi plates. The sushi was delicious and fresh and the bento boxes had a great presentation but didn't seem that there was anything extra. As we were 2 people visiting, the bento boxes came out to our table 2 separate times about 7 mins apart. Typically we like to start eating when our whole party get the food so one party had salmon that was cold. The dipping sauce for the tempura was also cold. Other than that, we would go back for the sushi.

Love everything about this Sushi Bar! High end sushi. They don't blast music like some of the others do. I can enjoy my food and conversation!
