    3/26/2026: Momma Kiki and I haven't been to Ananto in a while and missed it. This is Hubby's first visit and Michelle joined us, too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cute. Simple decor, and immaculate![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You are greeted so graciously when walking in the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were a little surprised to find them so quiet at 6pm on a Wednesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Why is everyone sleeping on this gem? For those who don't know, Momma Kiki is Osaka born and raised.. which makes me half Japanese but still full Asian food critic. lol The sushi served at Ananto is outstanding! Some of the best I've had in Santa Clarita. I still love our OG "Light & Healthy" in Newhall (THE best AYCE!) but Ananto has special and unique offerings like sweet shrimp. We aren't light eaters by any means, but their 7pc set which comes with soup and a salad paired with a shared cut roll makes a decent meal! Our table thoroughly enjoyed our 7pc Sushi sets and the 9pc Sashimi set. The mild shirt miso soup paired with their green salad and house made wafu dressing is outstanding! The chef/owner makes all dressings and sauces fresh in house, and you can tell. There is care taken with rice and fish temperatures to optimize flavors, some are lightly brushed with what tastes like fresh yuzu.. the Spicy Tuna Roll doesn't have sriracha in it (thank goodness!).. they use chili oil, as it should be. The Sweet Shrimp is expertly executed and every crispy bite of the head served with the tomalley is perfection! I honestly don't know why there isn't a long wait in this little gem.

    This review is long overdue. My partner and I have been coming to Ananto ever since they opened in June 2024. It is a small, family owned business and our favorite local hidden gem. Every time we visit, it feels like we are visiting family. They quickly learned our order, and before we can even sit down they are on their way to get our Sapporos, miso soups and salads (which come with the sets). Our favorites to order are: Toro, Sweet Shrimp, Salmon Belly, Yellowtail Belly, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Squid Legs, and the 7 pc sushi set! What stands out the most about Ananto is the quality of the fish. I would even venture to say the quality of fish is better here, than some places I've had in Hawaii. Another thing I really enjoy about Ananto is, I can confidently say that the consistency has remained the same since day one. While the pricing may seem a bit steep at first, I do feel that it matches the quality of the food and the level of service that is provided, which is why we keep coming back. Overall, it's pretty clear this is my favorite sushi restaurant, and I'm super glad to have them so close to home!

    We stopped by Ananto Sushi for dinner while shopping in Santa Clarita, and it was such a great find! The staff was super friendly, and we got a kick out of the sushi chefs having some wine with us -- it made the atmosphere feel fun and relaxed. My husband and I shared a Spicy Tuna roll, Avocado roll, Natasha roll, and an Eel Tempura & Avocado roll. Every roll was prepared perfectly and absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Great food, great vibes -- we'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

    I'll start by saying I'm a picky sushi eater. I resisted eating sushi for the longest time, until I had some in Japan and realized, like one of those light-bulb moments, "Ah ha! THIS is why people love sushi!" Unfortunately, most sushi in the US doesn't compare at all to that in Japan. And even in Japan, I am picky and have had plenty of sushi there that's just "meh." So I was hopeful, but trying not to get my expectations too high, trying Ananto sushi for the first time. I came here with a friend and I ordered four pairs of sushi, plus edamame and a cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was a generous serving, as was the edamame. The sushi consisted of relatively small slices of fish, on very tiny mounds of rice. That said, the fish was AMAZING and the rice was delicious. In fact, I loved the sushi so much I ordered a second round, with all the same fish. I tried black snapper, halibut, yellowtail and kinmedai. I loved every piece. The fish was fresh, extremely tender, and a silky soft texture. Light, fine flavor. Each piece had a little wasabi between the rice and the fish, though you can ask for it without wasabi as well. Some of the fish had a little additional seasoning and the flavors all went together perfectly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is located in a strip mall and it's small inside. Table seating, plus seating at the sushi bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Limited choice of sodas (Coke, diet Coke, Sprite), but they have hot tea, and they have alcoholic options as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a pretty casual atmosphere, especially considering the high quality of the fish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I honestly cannot wait to come back here. Staff was also polite and attentive. Easy parking, easy to get to from I-5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean and well-lit inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Food is delicious!!! We had the 9 piece sashimi plate, 7 piece sushi, tempura udon and yellow tail collar and 6 different sushis. This place has the freshest fish! Service is always excellent and we like the small place sushi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is much better than the other sushi places who only sells many rolls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is our 5th time here. Always have great experience every time! Highly recommended! This is why they have the highest rating.

    Tiny little Tuna roll...$11

    Seeing the 4.6 star reviews on Yelp I was excited to try Ananto and support a local family run business. After eating there today, I regret my decision and have no idea how they hold the 4.6 stars. This was a complete waste of money, and will be a one and done for sure. They charge high prices and deliver an inferior product with tiny portions with tiny pieces of fish. The special rolls are big prices for small rolls. The regular rolls are slightly higher than regular roll prices but less than half the size. The piece of fish in it was almost undetectable (Pic1). Literally smaller than the tip of your pinky finger. When I politely questioned the host about the absence of fish in the roll, the host indignantly said yep, that's normal; that's all we usually put in the rolls. There was no acknowledgement that there was any issue with the product, no suggestion of trying to make it right, it just is what it is, deal with it. So it's not a Yellowtail roll or an Albacore roll actually, it's a fish flavored rice roll. The Tuna roll was the most expensive, and was half the size of the other regular rolls (pic 2). So in summary, the overall theme at Ananto is give the patron as little as possible while overcharging them as much as possible. Very bad business model. If you like rice, and have total disregard for your money and getting good bang for your buck, this is the place for you. If you value your hard earned money and expect good quality & fair portion to price ratio, don't waste your time at Ananto. Find somewhere else to go so you don't end up leaving feeling completely violated. Buyer beware!!!!

    I am a sushi snob.. first time coming here today and can easily say they have the best quality fish in all of Santa Clarita. Very great tasting dishes. Great service but most importantly great quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will be bring my whole family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you

    Isabella D.

    I have to agree with others, this is easily the best sushi I've had in SCV. My best friend and I stopped here on a Monday night to get our sushi fix--specifically, some delicious nigiri. Ananto Sushi is a family-owned traditional sushi bar that just opened in Stevenson Ranch seven months ago. The restaurant's decor reflects the food: refined, simple, and focused. All the little touches add up to an unexpectedly fantastic experience. We sat at the bar and shared piece after piece of perfectly prepared nigiri. we ordered: - albacore - yellowtail belly - kanpachi (our favorite!) - shima aji - black snapper (outstanding) - ama ebi (a close second favorite) - toro scallion handroll - scallop - unagi Between the friendly service and excellent fish, we already can't wait to come back to this new SCV gem.

And a quick search from Yelp reminded me that we were here last time! I guess they are still attractive. This place felt like it was run by the Vietnamese, as all hosts and servers spoke Vietnamese to each other. The menu is as extensive as before, 2 full pages of rolls! One page is the standard ones, like the Lion King, sumo rolls, 49er's, and the other page is their special rolls. Unlike last time that we tried a bunch of their special appetizers (and they are still the same on the menu), we tried the rolls and bento this time and I think I like that more. We ordered the Teena roll, the Gilbert roll, an order of salmon roe sushi, a side order of chicken fried rice, and a tempura bento. The rolls tasted good, soft and slightly chewy in the mouth with a blend of all the sashimi and crab meat and sticky Japanese rice. The tempura bento was sumptuous! It came with a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of white rice, 4 or 5 pieces of gyoza, a salad, cucumber, a pre-cut orange, and 8 or 9 pieces of tempura of a variety. My least favorite is probably the salmon roe sushi as I wish the roes look bigger and more orange-y. Service was great. Although we were told they were busy and we might have to wait a bit, food started to come in less than 5 minutes! We didn't get a water refill but the glass of water was big. Dirty dishes were taken away timely too. I've been abused by the Bay Area exorbitant prices for a long time, it was such a pleasure to see rolls priced at $15. So overall, it was a good dinner in town.

First, I would like to say that my family and I have dined at your restaurant on several occasions and have always had positive experiences. We have enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service, which is why the experience we had last night was particularly disappointing. My family and I visited your establishment again and ordered from the à la carte menu. After we had finished most of our meal and paid our bill, some members of our party, including my brothers, were still enjoying their sake and finishing their drinks. To our surprise, a staff member approached us and asked us to leave the restaurant. While I understand that it was a busy evening and that there may have been other customers waiting for tables, I found it inappropriate and unprofessional to be asked to leave when we were still consuming items we had legitimately purchased. We did not order from an all-you-can-eat menu, which typically has a clearly stated time limit. As paying customers dining from the regular menu, we reasonably expected to be allowed to finish our food and beverages without feeling rushed or pressured to leave. What was most disappointing was the manner in which the situation was handled. Hospitality should include treating guests with courtesy and respect, regardless of how busy the restaurant may be. Being asked to leave while still finishing our drinks and foods left us feeling unwelcome and diminished what would otherwise have been an enjoyable dining experience. I hope you will address this matter with your staff and reinforce the importance of professional customer service and respectful communication. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I would appreciate your acknowledgment of this complaint and any information regarding how this matter will be addressed. Sincerely, Carla
