We came for a late dinner and wanted some sushi, so we tried this sushi spot out that's been here for quite some time. The restaurant has a lot of seating and a large menu. We tried the Red Dragon roll, California hand roll with soy paper, Albacore delight sushi and a Bento box with Teriyaki chicken sashimi. The items we tried were all good, however, service was a bit slow. Staff were all nice, but seemed to be very busy since this sushi spot had AYCE sushi also. Overall, if you are not in a rush and want some good sushi, come check this spot out. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel other customers should know. I came to Hikari Sushi with my sister and a friend, and when my sister's roll was brought to the table, there was a fly sitting directly on the sushi. We immediately pointed it out to the waitress. Instead of apologizing, she casually told us that there are "always flies in the restaurant," as if that somehow made the situation acceptable. She did replace the roll, but brought out an entirely different roll than the one my sister originally ordered. When my sister politely explained that it wasn't the correct item, the waitress argued with her and insisted that she "should have been more specific" because there are multiple versions of a Dragon Roll. Rather than simply acknowledging the mistake and correcting it, she continued debating with the customer before eventually bringing the correct order. As frustrating as the experience itself was, what happened afterward was even more disappointing. My sister left a review describing exactly what occurred, and instead of taking responsibility or apologizing, the owner publicly claimed that the fly landed on the roll before it reached our table and that the waitress had already replaced it before it was served. That is simply not what happened. The roll with the fly was served directly to our table. How would we see the fly if the roll was never served to us?? Makes absolutely no sense. We all saw it. Otherwise, there would've been nothing for us to point out. Everyone makes mistakes. A fly can get into a restaurant despite a business's best efforts. What determines good customer service is how those mistakes are handled. In this case, there was no genuine apology, unnecessary arguing with a customer over an incorrect replacement order, and then a public response that completely contradicted what we personally experienced instead of accepting responsibility. The lack of accountability was far more disappointing than the original mistake. I hope the restaurant takes customer concerns more seriously in the future and understands that honesty and accountability go a long way toward rebuilding trust. read more

Hikari Sushi - The Owner's lack of accountability. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Simi Valley, California

It takes a lot for me to give a one star review. If I have a bad experience I always go back to see if maybe it was just an off day. So I ordered take out today, was there 5 min before they notified me it's ready, I live less than 5 min away. Yet when I got home my sushi was already warm. I've felt so sick since eating it. Temp aside, the flavors and textures were all just not good. I'd have been better off with Ralph's grocery store sushi. Seriously. So put off. I will not be back. Also paid $4 for sides of spicy mayo and eel sauce and when I tell you they weren't even a quarter full. Unreal. read more

Anytime you're in Simi Valley and craving good sushi, this is the place to go. I stopped in for happy hour (2-5 PM) with my granddaughter after promising her sushi following her outing, and we found this spot on Yelp. It definitely did not disappoint. The service was excellent. Vanessa was attentive, on top of everything, and always had a smile. We ordered quite a bit, almost felt like everything on the menu! We had egg rolls, calamari, creamy rock shrimp, two orders of the Golden Tiger Roll, California rolls, and the Lobster Tail Roll. Everything was delicious. If I had one small complaint, it would be that the calamari was slightly overcooked, but it still tasted good. We sat in a booth that was extremely comfortable, and the restaurant was very clean. We also enjoyed the music selection. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be back. read more

I'm so disappointed! I LOVE Hikari, it's my go-to sushi place. I wasn't sure about writing a review, but since I haven't stopped thinking about my experience today, I thought I should. My visit today was awful, so many things went wrong. The roll I ordered was the Hikari dragon roll, and when it arrived, it had a fly on one of the pieces. When I let our waitress know, her response was "well, sometimes flies will get into the restaurant". When she returned with a new plate, it was a completely different roll. I let her know right away, and she instantly got combative with me saying, "there are a lot of different 'dragon' rolls so you have to be specific when ordering". I could not believe her lack of accountability, especially considering the original plate given to me (with a fly) was a Hikari dragon roll. After some time of going back and forth, she left (with the wrong roll) and came back with the roll I ordered, making sure to loudly say "this is a HIKARI DRAGON roll, okay?". All I wanted to do was leave, so my friends and I ate quickly and left soon after. I never once received an apology, or any sort of acknowledgment from our waitress. I won't be coming back, what a shame!! :( read more

(+) Decent sushi for Simi Valley, on the west side (+) My family likes the food here, there's something we all like. (+) Bento boxes like teriyaki salmon, a lot of the sushi is "50% off" ;) (+) Menu has pictures of the rolls and descriptions They can get pretty busy on weekends and Friday evening and there's not a whole lot of tables to sit at. Sometimes we just order takeout to avoid the wait and go pickup a little later than the expected ready time. read more

I've been to Hikari Sushi twice and enjoyed my experience both times. They have a large selection of sushi rolls and everything I've tried was either good or great! Their menu is set up funny, but the end result is affordable prices so I can't complain! During my most recent visit I had their bento box set and it was massive! Even though I enjoy their sushi, I'll be ordering the bento box from now on since eating enough sushi to get full is expensive no matter how affordable the rolls are. read more

Checked out this spot while visiting a friend for the weekend and the reviews did not lie! The place was packed (always a good sign) and the service was on point from the moment we walked in to the moment we paid. Super friendly staff, clean dining area, and a sushi bar if you prefer counter seating. Menu had tons of options, but we went with the Three Amigo roll, Hot Night roll, and a bento box with rice, salad, and miso soup. Everything was delicious--even the miso soup and salad. Miso came out hot (not lukewarm like some places) and full of flavor. The rolls? SO good. Fresh, thick cuts of fish that legit made me melt. I even finished my whole plate, which never happens! Will definitely come back the next time I'm in the area! read more

I'm glad to see this restaurant getting good business. My partner and I go here as our sushi go-to spot when we don't want all you can eat and want just good quality sushi. The staff is kind and patient if we need more time on the menu. They also can help recommend items to you and can accommodate changes when possible to menu items. We usually order shrimp tempura, couple rolls, and maybe some nigiri rolls. That's plenty enough food for 2 people. It's in a shared parking lot near the supermarket. So there is plenty of parking. And although its a small restaurant, its party size accommodating. read more

We didn't spend too long waiting, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. It's comforting and popping, so you know it's worth it. Service was great too; they're fast and helpful. The owner was really sweet too and gave us free service for their new yakitori dish which comes with the original chili seasoning and spicy sweet chili sauce, both are great pairings with the chicken which was also super juicy and flavorful. The rolls were also really great, and fave of each roll ordered was the sunny roll because it was nice and fresh. 10/10 will and want to come back again :D read more

Hikari Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Hikari Sushi was a cute, modern restuarant style. The ambiance was welcoming and cozy, however, the service was underwhelming. I dined in as a solo diner and was sat at the Sushi bar before the dinner rush. I had an entire show right before my eyes, and I really enjoyed watching the chefs create such beautiful masterpieces. The presentation of the Unagi Don was incredible along with the Tiger Roll. Both items ordered were decent for what you can find in Simi Valley. My overall experience was rated 3 out of 5 stars due to waiting 32 minutes to receive two items. I've watched plate after plate be made and sent out to customers who had sat after me. read more

I went to Hikari on January 31, 2025 with my husband because we were starving and craving Japanese food. I lived in Japan for 10 years, and I've been in the U.S. for about a year now -- and honestly, most of the Japanese restaurants we try don't feel authentic, so we usually don't go back. But Hikari really surprised us in the best way. We ordered garlic edamame, sashimi, gyoza (fried dumplings), and fried salmon with teriyaki sauce. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and it reminded me of the food I used to enjoy in Japan. The atmosphere has an izakaya vibe -- cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. The staff were also very kind. One lady was going around to different tables and offered us some fish (I can't remember exactly if it was yellowtail or salmon), and she told us it was "on the house" and wished us a Happy New Year. That gesture meant a lot -- we didn't expect something like that, especially at such a nice sushi restaurant. We really enjoyed our lunch, the food, and the people. We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend! read more

Not coming back . Had a carry out order tonight #43. 4:46 Pm before an dinner rush. First the waitress gave me dirty looks when i left her a tip for a pick up, then the eel was waayy undercooked, i even asked for it well done i tried to crisp it up in my broiler but nope it was nasty and under the eel meat was a thick piece of slimy rubbery fat. the carpaccio was edible . the golden tiger roll was disgusting. the avocado was BLACK . the Spicy mayo was a weird yellow color not "pinkish" so i didn't take a chance . Total waste of $50 . never coming back here again. i threw it all away.. Anyone have any recommendations other than Hikari? I'm willing to drive for great sushi. btw best server there is Vivian. We always had a great experience with her not so much anymore read more

Great place to celebrate your birthday. The owner played a loud music to celebrate our birthday event while the whole staff joined in, wow! The Dragon Roll, Eskolar, Tuna Rolls, Baked Scallops were fresh and tasted sweet and creamy; they practically melts in your mouth. The lady cashier and perhaps owner was very friendly, staff attended to our needs like family and the restaurant was a perfect place to spend dinner and celebrate too. I'd say, it's one of the best restaurants in Simi Valley and it's great to live in this city. During the pandemic, we bought a lot of their food since they offered 50 percent off, too. Thank you for being an outstanding member of the Simi Valley Community! read more

Excellent meal. Had almost all the white fish sushi, and a few rolls. Timely. Great atmosphere. Great staff, and well worth the prices, which honestly weren't high. Haven't been here in a few years but can't wait to come back. Only criticism, they had a basic basketball game on rather than the National Championship Game.....need a few more TVs and I bet they'll get even more traffic on game days! read more

Hikari Sushi - Salmon Hand Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Simi Valley, California

This review is for their tipping calculations while you use your credit card. I'm aware they have 50% off on some of their rolls that's priced at $23-$30, but their 15% / 18% / 20% tip is based on the regular price before the discount. For example four rolls at $25 each equates to $100, after discount the bill is only $50, but their machines shows 15% is $15. Should only be $7.50 for tip at 15%. It's a scammy way to get more dollars out of people that's not aware. Just want people to be aware. read more

We discovered Hikari Sushi during the pandemic, and we have continued to visit. It's one of our favorite lunch spots. The food is fantastic. I usually order a bento box special and an order of shrimp shumai. My daughter orders all types of sushi and has loved all of it. The sushi will come out quickly. The bento box and other items from the kitchen will take a little longer. It is well worth the wait. Sometimes, the service is slow, but the restaurant is always busy, and the servers are running around keeping up the best they can. Be patient. They will get to you. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small, and as I said, it does get busy at lunch and dinner. Sometimes, the wait can be long. It is worth it. The wait can also be long if you order to-go food during the busy times. There is plenty of parking. read more

My family and I have been loyal customers for almost a decade now, so it genuinely breaks my heart to write this review. My mom recently visited (10/28/24) for happy hour and when she asked for to-go boxes for her leftovers, the server denied her. When she asked to speak to the manager for an explanation, they said that people have been taking advantage of the restaurant's discounted happy hour prices so the rule of no taking leftovers for their once "all-you-can-eat" deal also applies to their happy hour. However, *nowhere* on that menu was that rule mentioned (as attached below) and I personally have never heard of a restaurant not allow their customers to take home happy hour leftovers. I NEVER write negative reviews and all my previous reviews prove that, but I needed to share this. My family and I will be taking our business elsewhere from here on out. read more
