    Sunomono salad - hard pass.
    Andrea E.

    I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 5 STARS. The majority of the food we tried was amaaaazing and absolutely deserving of 5 stars. Here's why I'm only giving 3, though. When you first walk in, there's a very strong perfume-like scent. It reminds me of Febreze and is pretty overwhelming at first. I was with a party of four, and we ordered two trays of rolls, about 12 rolls total, plus some nigiri. Needless to say, we tried a lot of rolls tonight. I don't remember any of them by name, but I can say with absolute certainty that none disappointed. I'm Mexican, so it was beautiful to see familiar heat, acidity, and seasoning being thoughtfully merged with sushi. Everyone at the table was equally impressed. That said, there was one very (extremely!) spicy roll made with habaneros. This one is not for everyone. Our friend who is a spice king absolutely devoured it without so much as a heat-induced sniffle. I consider myself well versed in all things spicy, and I have to say, it kind of kicked my butt. At one point, I felt like my gums were bleeding because the heat was so intense and felt like it was eating away at them. I'm laughing as I type this. So yeah, that one was a bit too much. Still delicious, though. Here's where they could improve. The sunomono salad, which I typically love from other establishments and have even learned to make at home, was absolutely bland. Plain cucumbers with a sprinkle of salt and lemon would have had more flavor than that salad. That was very disappointing. The calamari was overfried, teetering on the edge of burned, and just didn't taste very good. The garlic edamame was also lacking salt. Service was slow. Very, very slow. We had a fun group, so the wait wasn't totally wasted, but if you're starving, you'll probably get very hangry. It's also very loud inside. They had a football game on, and everyone was very rowdy, including a group of women who seemed to think ringing a cowbell after every play was appropriate. Yes, they had a cowbell. Really obnoxious. So this is why I say I wish I could give it 5 stars. The food, for the most part, was fantastic. Everything else was just okay. That being said, we will definitely be back because the flavors they nailed were absolutely nailed to perfection - enough to disregard their shortcomings.

    This is my 4th time here & the service / food never disappoints! huge thank you to our server Attila & the crew tonight that made my sisters bday so special, this is definitely a fun place to celebrate! i love the baked muscles & the diabla patter is my go to as a family style set up. For the platter i get the baked salmon, crunch roll, lobster roll, salmon / tuna / aguachile & shrimp nigiri. i also recommend the delicious margaritas & cantaritos!! can't wait to come back again!

    Cool place to go for dinner with a large group of people. We all had the ayce sushi and for the most part it was good. The sushi rolls probably stood out the most to me as there was a good mix of classic rolls and specialty rolls. The service was a little slow but it was a busy evening and understandable. The music they had gave it a good vibe and it was loud enough to drown out our conversations to people around us but low enough for all of us to have a conversation.

    I love their three sauce sushi. It is very savory and just a bit of spicy. The cilantro sauce is my favorite part.

    Needed a great sushi stop before a Dodger game and lucky enough to find this spot. The sushi was absolutely delicious! I have not stopped thinking about it since.. I do plan on coming back soon! Also tried the Mexican Candy Shot and it was okay, but it does come with a chili watermelon lollipop. Their presentation with drinks and food was great. Overall, a 10/10. I will be back!

    Ala diabla is one of our regular sushi spots, when we can take advantage of their platter special, we do. Sushi is delicious & fresh however I can say the rolls used to be bigger. I love when they bring out their holiday drinks. The ambiance is great here at this location, & the service from the waiters is fantastic.

    Came to A La Diabla Sushi and honestly had such a great experience. Huge shoutout to Adam, the bartender his service was a solid 10/10. Super friendly and really knew what to recommend. He suggested the Raspberry Lemon Drop and the Matcha Martini, and both were amazing not too sweet, not too strong, just perfect. Food was just as good. I had the yellowtail with jalapeño and sriracha, and it was so fresh and flavorful. I squeezed some lemon on top and it took it to another level. I also tried the fried pickles, which were crispy and really good great starter. The ambiance was a vibe too good music, cool setup, and a relaxed but fun energy that made it easy to enjoy the night with some Friends. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    Michelada w Pacifico

    I tried the local A La Diabla sushi location to me. It's nestled in the San Fernando mall. Nice location. Parking in the front across the street or in the rear. I got seated right away on a Sunday around 6pm. The place was half filled. Vibey, music, TVs. Hostess took our drink order and came back like 10 min later with just the michelada. We ordered water with ice. We ordered the Fuego platter, heart attack and a suimono / cucumber salad. The waitress had a hard time taking our order for some reason. From the time we ordered our food which was the time I received the michelada was 20+ min. I counted 8+ staff members about and some coming from the back to mingle. They checked in on us but it felt like the chisme was more important. The Fuego Platter is a great deal on Sundays it's $45 for 6 rolls. Which is honestly a steal. The rolls are smaller but for $45 it's a great deal. So I had to check it out. I'll just talk about what stood out and what was meh. The Pancho Villa roll was good and the crispy onions give the roll a different profile than others. The dynamite roll was good. Flavorful. Not over done. Everything tasted fresh. Aguachile roll was good too. If a roll has fresh jalapeño and cilantro on it then that's all you're gonna taste. That pretty much overwhelms the fish or roll in this case. They use a lot of cilantro which I don't mind but the rolls that had cilantro just ended up tasting like each other. My suggestion would be get some baked, some fresh and some tempura with and without cilantro y jalapeño. The heart attack looked amazing but it tasted pretty bland. Hard pass. The cucumber salad super plain. Pass. The appetizers came out with the mains so it kind of defeats the purpose of them being appetizers. One last thing to note we had to ask for plates and wasabi n ginger. Chopsticks and napkins are already at the table. I don't know if I'll be back to be honest. The service was lackluster. The food was passable. The michelada was aight. I'd go on a Dodger game or on a Sunday maybe.

    ***3.5 Been here twice and they Can definitely use more waiters/waitresses. They're always understaffed 2 ppl for like 15 tables which is a bit unfair!!! We usually get a younger girl(didn't get her name) as our waitress , and she usually answers our questions with happy face and a positive attitude Their sushi hits the spot every time , but takes forever to get the rolls. So if you're hungry I would definitely go elsewhere! This place has so much potential but being short staff doesn't help the situation, busboys always seem lost perhaps they're new to a job or just don't care.

    Based on the name, I assumed it would be a Mexican-sushi fusion spot and I'd say that description is spot on. Parking was a bit of a challenge for a Thursday night. Pretty busy and i already know theres a lot of shops around that san fernando strip mall which is where this sushi spot is located. Luckily there's a lot in the back with available spots. Even better, there's a rear entrance to the restaurant, so you don't have to walk all the way around to the front. We let the hostess know our party and we got sat right away. Id say a group larger than 6 would be difficult to fit. Only noticed one large table. The music was pretty loud (banda) and there were a few tvs replaying sports (no captions). Our waiter was attentive but once the place filled up (around 7pm), check-ins were less frequent so took a while to get the check. Since it tis the season, we went with the grinch drink which had a tajin rim and made with soju. It tasted flat. I didnt even finish it wasnt particularly enjoyable. For food, we enjoyed: -Pancho villa roll -Rattlesnake roll I usually enjoy a good lemon roll. This one was pretty dense with the rice and I had to spit out two seeds. Id probably try the spot again, but I'll be mindful of what rolls I get since they ranged from $17 to $21 a roll. Music blasting may dissuade me..unless I'm eating alone and dont have to maintain a conversation in the noise.

    I want to like this place. The concept of sushi meeting Mexican food is cool. However this place falls short. The service was SLOW. Perhaps they could use more staff? Took a very long time to get food, get the check and something as simple as a water refill simply didn't happen. The food was decent. Sushi rolls quickly fell apart. Quality of fish is better than a gas station or grocery store but not much better. At least they have TV's to watch sports?

    Tuna salad

    I usually like ala diabla but today the food was not good. We ordered the tuna salad, the tuna was extremely chewy and had so much fat and the taste was extremely fishy I couldn't eat it. I would of appreciated if they maybe swapped it out for something else but they didn't. Sucks but I probably won't be going back.

    The good here is always great, I really with they had the prices on the menu though. They have the occasional social hour with is their HH, but it's not on Friday which is a bummer. Over all good service from the servers and bartenders though.

We didn't get around to try any food during our visit. Unfortunately, the patio experience was ruined by a rat that stayed directly behind our table against the railing for almost our entire visit. We had to be the ones to ask to switch tables to get away from it, and while the staff apologized, no effort was made to compensate for the disruption. Many others noticed the pest and either left or tried to get the staff to handle it. What made it frustrating is that I've sat on the patio at Gus's literally four feet away dozens of times and have never seen a single pest. The pest presence here isn't just "being outdoors"--it's a clear management and sanitation issue that needs to be addressed. Decent spot for cheap drinks, but I wouldn't sit on the patio again until they get this under control and train staff on better customer recovery.

The decor is "industrial," but it's clean and airy, so there's no sense of being in a "dive" -- in fact, this is a family-friendly place, and I saw some youngish couples playing pool on what seemed to be afternoon dates. The physical bar is relatively small, with only about 8-12 seats, but that's because they're keeping as much space open as possible for game play. The staff was friendly and chatty, and seemed quite intent on making sure everyone had everything they needed. The menu is wider and more interesting than one would expect in a pool hall environment, with creative pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and salads promising a more unique and memorable meal than the average hangout. I opted to try the Pastrami Pizza: a traditional tomato and mozzarella pie topped with what they call "mustard fried pastrami," onions, chopped pickles, and a drizzle of yellow mustard. It's a good-sized pizza, larger than a true individual pie, and enough for 2 people to share. The pastrami was savory without being too salty, while the pickles, onions and mustard all added nice pops of flavor without feeling like a gimmick. My one disappointment was that the pizza was not prepared well-done as requested, making the crust more doughy than crisp. Also, the temperature in the venue was darn near frigid, so my pizza got cold very quickly, which reduced my ability to enjoy it as much as I would have if the pie had been piping hot. Other food being enjoyed in close proximity to me looked and smelled very good (wings and burgers), and like I said, the people were all top notch hosts. So, while the final pizza prep could use some improvement, I think these folks are doing a very good job of making bar food that's more interesting and memorable than you'll find anywhere else in the area. Definitely stop in and give them a whirl.

Then all of a sudden the fans stopped working. Our waiter informed us that there was no power in the entire restaurant inside or out. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldnt places like these have back-up generators just in case? Shortly thereafter he came and told us LADWP would arrive in 1 hour which literally means 2 to 3 hours minimum so instead of having our dinner for breakfast we asked to close out our bill (which should have been comped but they did not even deduct anything for the tremendous inconvenience), after just two plates of Hamachi Crudo and four drinks. The bill was presented to me and I figured there's no way all of this costs $240 I said I want to see an itemized receipt they came back with a $160 bill so more shady shit thrown to the shade. Very grudgingly paid but just wanted to get the fuck out of there we went to Il Fornaio nearby and had a lovely meal and service, to salvage my poor sister's birthday. Needless to say but I will, the easiest one and done in my life and I've had quite a bit if you read my reviews. Inexcusable ridiculousness and zero compensation. It was complete chaos as people were canceling left and right and more people were flooding in as the reservations backed up I hope God helped them through the night. It's one thing to lose power unfortunate yes, but to not have a backup generator and then not even take care/compensate your customers is an abysmal excuse for management and a restaurant, not to mention the blatant theft attempt.

You're drawn in by the familiar, comfortable design featuring mirrored signs with writing in Victorian style fonts that continue onto the menus. They have marble tables and counters, with comfortable chairs, and lots of light coming in through the windows. The staff is all smiles and very welcoming, happy to help you navigate the very interesting bill of fare, and making sure your cocktail is made exactly as you like. I was dining solo, so I sat at the bar, and James took excellent care of me from start to finish. I asked for a Bombay Sapphire Martini with Olives; James immediately offered regular or blue cheese-stuffed olives, and asked if I preferred the martini shaken or stirred. The drink that emerged was well-balanced, cold and very tasty. The menu is filled with all sorts of interesting choices. Some are familiar items like salads and fishes and hamburgers or cheesesteak sandwiches done in their way -- but my eye immediately went to a very unique starter: Duck Fat Potato Confit. Say what? As James explained, it is a whole potato that has been slow cooked in duck fat (confit, as we know) and served as the main attraction in the dish as one might similarly feature a duck leg or short rib. I had to order this, and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding dishes I've eaten in a long time. The aforementioned, slow-cooked potato initially appears a bit like a whole boiled potato, but looks are deceiving. Because of the cooking method, the potato holds it's consistency and shape much more than a boiled or baked potato, cutting almost like a protein. It's solid but tender, and as it has absorbed quite a bit of flavor during the cooking, this potato is far tastier on its own than those other iterations. But you are NOT eating this potato unadorned. Oh no, this potato is dressed with caramelized onions, smoky bacon lardons, wild mushrooms and a rich, very flavorful demi-glace. All together, you've layers upon layers of flavor that make you ignore all distractions and really concentrate on the pleasure you're getting from your food. But that's not all... Perhaps the cleverest element of a dish composed entirely of clever elements is the Mornay Sauce. Snow white, and with enough of just the right cheese to add texture to the Bechemel without becoming too powerful, the sauce is plated on the bottom, with the potato resting atop it. Visually, this looks like mashed potatoes served underneath a protein, and it plays the same role texturally -- but because you wouldn't serve potatoes with a potato, the sauce is a lighter accompaniment, whose flavor marries perfectly with the more complex sauce coming from above, and you cannot help but marvel at this stroke of culinary magic. Just wow. I finished with a dessert of Key Lime Budino, which was rich and creamy with a serious hit of sour from the Key Lime. A nice and refreshing shift after the savory richness of my entree. How lucky are the people of Newhall and Santa Clarita that they have a restaurant making such interesting and excellent food? I come up at least once a month for a music event, and how lucky am I to have discovered this place to eat beforehand? And by the way: if you live in the San Fernando Valley, this place is really less than 30 minutes away (without traffic), so the next time you're thinking of going over the hill to a place in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, you may want to head North instead. I promise you, The Old Town Junction will become your new favorite.
