This place was much different than the typical sushi I find in Ventura County. They seemed much more authentic than the typical American roll sushi places. The fish was very fresh and the food was good but it wasn't exactly what we were expecting so for my family it was hard to find things we were willing to eat as we aren't too adventurous. But for what we did order I thought the food was very tasty. read more

Great sushi restaurant. Portions are pretty small compared to other sushi places and prices are a lot higher compared to others.

The fish is always fresh and everything always tastes amazing. Owner/Chef Mitsu can always recommend any specials if you like but everything is wonderful. read more

Food is good but portions are a bit small. Definitely more of a sushi place than a bento or dinner place. Not an inexpensive place. Mochi ice cream is delicious. read more

Play it safe and bring cash. My wife and I ate lunch here which was pretty tasty but a little over priced. When we went to pay I was told my debit card was declined, so we used my wife's card. However when I looked at my statement I saw that I had been charged indeed, and $7 over the amount that we were supposed to pay. My wife's card was also charged twice for the correct amount. So our $31 meal ended up costing $100. I called and was told that this happens sometimes with their machine (?) and that we needed to wait for the holiday weekend to be over. You'd think they'd have gotten a new machine if they already knew about this issue. Shame because I really needed that extra money the other day :P read more

Pure heaven! Do you want a classy, true to the artform sushi experience? Are you through with compromising? Then Kanda Sushi is your new destination in Thousand Oaks. Chef Mitsu is the real deal. A not-to-be-missed experience. Quality never goes out of style! read more

Wherever he has worked, we have followed Mitsu EVERYWHERE. For at least 15 years, he has been like family - particulary to our daughter Alex who first started going when she was still in her mommy's tummy. There is no one better, more consistent and kinder to his customers than Mitsu. Every meal with Mitsu is special and the the staff is equally awesome. We are priviliaged to have been his guests for so many years and hope he will continue to be our most favorite restaurant. read more

Found this place on Yelp. This is place blown my mind away. The master chef served variety of fresh fish sushi. Don't use washabi or soy sauce. Best sushi I had in Los Angeles area. By the way, I am an Asian and very picky on sushi :) read more

First a disclaimer that we are relative newbies to sushi/sashimi and don't claim sophisticated palates, so shushi gurus might take our rating with a grain of salt. We sampled the Hon Maguro Bluefin, Albacore Tombo Maguro, Atlantic Halibut Hirame, Mackerel Saba, King Salmon, and the tuna Saikoro sashimi. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, we especially liked the Saikoro sushimi. Service was friendly and attentive and patient with our newbie questions. We finished with the red bean Mochi Ice Cream, which was slightly skimpy on serving size but a different taste experience that we enjoyed. The only negative was the acoustic issue another reviewer noted. We were unfortunate to be 2 tables away from a couple with very young kids about 2 and 4 years old who screamed throughout most of their dinner (toddlers eating dinner at 8:00 pm? -- come on, parents, they should have been getting ready for bed by then). We were relieved to see them leave after a half-hour but also experienced needing to talk "ridiculously loud" over the ambient noise level from some other tables. Our bill was a little pricy, but not at all out of line with the quality of the food. We will definitely be back for the food and hope we'll catch a more peaceful ambience next time -- the outside seating looked promising. read more

I had high expectations for this place because all the reviews on yelp were amazing. I love sushi and my boyfriend and I typically eat sushi twice a week. We decided to venture somewhere new. Well we made a mistake. This place was not near as good as the other sushi places we eat. They won't even let you modify a roll by adding to it. They only have 7 different kinds of rolls on top of that. It was way expensive too. I won't be back. read more

Service was poor. Only two chefs feeding an entire restaurant. Orders were small and slow to come. The chef would continually forget orders. Had to ask for everything. Ginger, Wasabi, Water? The fish was mostly all good ( but small portions ) with the exception of the albacore. I would prefer the chef to say they are out of something, or they don't recommend it rather then serving bad fish. ( and a sushi chef knows when the fish is not fresh ). read more

This place was delicious but on the pricy side. This is a place for real-sushi eaters (sashimi lovers)!

I was introduced to Sushi long before it was broadly popular in the US and experienced some of the great places in Little Tokyo downtown in the old days. Since then I have eaten sushi in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya and all over Japan and I consider myself quite well versed. Having said that, Mitsu is far and away the best sushi chef in all of Southern California to my taste and to have him so close by in Westlake Village is a luxury. We have followed him for the last 20 years and I would not think of going anyplace else. He is simply the best! As the other review said, if you want a bunch of gross American spin off gringo garbage this might not be for you but if you want traditional Japanese sushi, delicately prepared by the finest of experts in the traditional manner, you can not do better than Mitsu and Kanda and I am going there in about 20 minutes after I write this. Mmmmmm! read more

For what the mainstream call sushi in these parts, Kanda will not appeal. When California Roll tops your requests, stay at the all you can eat. Like some Salmon maybe a bit of Halibut sushi and look for something more. Kanda is the place to go. Very nice atmosphere, clean and appealing. This is a place to really have traditional sushi. My family loves sushi and we have our favorite spot and our back up. But for my son's 8th birthday he wanted to try a new sushi place. By recommendation we landed here. We were greeted with a pleasant hello and seated quickly. Upon looking at he menu I was very impressed. SUSHI was on the menu not just rolls. We ordered a wide variety from Salmon to Pompano. Spanish Mackerel is amazing. ALL was excellent. Kids loved it and the prices was reasonable for what we received. This won't be our default but it will be our special sushi place. read more

Excellent. Authentic Japanese food. Master chef Mitsu San is a master. I work for a Japanese company and I have had some phenomenal Sushi. Kanda is right up there with the best coming out of Japan. Great atmosphere. Friendly and prompt service. Take friends and family. You will not regret it. read more

If you're looking for sake bombs and just the original cut rolls that everyone is used to, this place is not for you. If you're looking gor HIGH CLASS sushi and an enjoyable place then THIS IS IT! Kanda sushi is a beautiful place with friendly people! The staff is always on top of their game, you never have to ask twice for anything, the food is super fresh and tasty, and everything here is just perfect. Everyone knows that sushi is THE best food that basically EVERYONE enjoys, but wait until you try KANDA sushi! It tops ALL the others! This is a great place for basically any occasion like a nice romantic dinner with your significant other, a great place to have a get together with friends andenjoy some high class sake and sushi, an enjoyable restaurant to enjoy a family lunch/dinner, and so forth. Everytime I come to Kanda Sushi I alwys have a great experience and I'm always satisfied! I literally tried the whole entire menu and sometimes I like to try new stuff from their white board. The fish is ALWAYS SUPER SUPER SUPER FRESH!!! By far the best fish I've had! Their meals are served so elegantly (if that's a word) and it just adds to the package! Mitsu is definitely an artist when making the sushi! He puts all the LOVE into everything he makes and makes sure it is beautifully arranged in your plate! He is a great help when you don't know what to order. See, if you're like me and you're a regular customer here who basically tried the entire menu, Mitsu ALWAYS leaves you more than satisfied with every meal he makes! The desserts here are so tastey they'll leave you begging for more..but after a few rolls, sake, and some desserts I think it'll be best if you just put the chopsticks down and ENOUGH...at least that's what I try telling myself everytime I come here! HANDS DOWN the best best bestttttttt and REALEST sushi I've ever had! So, if you're ready to try the real deal head over to Kanda Sushi, and if you just want the "fake" rolls with tons of sauce and extra sticky rice...... well, you know where to go! read more

I went by here during open hours this evening (6pm on February 5), and there was a closed sign on the door, and no one answered the phone the three times I called. It was over an hour into business hours and no one was inside. Are you permanently closed? I never got to try the bone cookie. :-( read more

My wife and I decided to give this place a try. Disappointed in the quality of the food. THe rolls were small for the cost with no taste to them. read more

In search of good sushi place in TO I came to Kenda for lunch. It turned out to be a waste of my time. It could be bad timing. They didn't have my favorite sushi even though they were on the menu board on the wall. This place is only good for express lunch, like CA roll or spicy tuna roll. Since I was looking for something luxury it was a bad choice to come here. They didn't have uni or sweet shrimp. I had salmon sushi which was not up to the standard of a $$$ place or 4.5 star restaurant. The piece was chewy. The rice was warn and sticky. Rice alone was a failure. Other sushi I got was small. Overall it's overpriced and lack of fresh ingredients. read more

Horrible sushi it had an after taste that was weird. The rolls were small, definitely only going there once. I don't recommend for diehard sushi lovers you will be disappointed. read more

The service was good. Atmosphere was nice & authentic but the price for the portions they serve was outrageous. For two ppl ordering miso soup, one roll each(which was tiny) and a chicken skewer- the total was 70$. Considering the amount, I don't think that's very reasonable. Although I liked the service, atmosphere and quality of the sushi- I don't think it was worth what we paid. I left hungry :( read more

I enjoyed the dining with my coworker in this sushi place. I bit small portions to my mind. I suggest they should be open on Mondays as sometimes I want to get sushi and it's the only place close by my home. read more

This is my favorite sushi place in the Agoura, TO, Westlake area. Excellent quality and traditionally operated. The sign by the bar states the obvious no custom rolls or hot dogs. If you want high quality sushi and don't mind paying for what you get then go here. read more

Feels like a neat Japanese tea room! Cute decor. Sparkling clean. The rolls were fine but plain. We tried four types but maybe you have to be a sushi eater to experience the best of this place because the rolls aren't their strong point. The short rib entree was really small, three tiny kabobs. Much more like a appetizer type dish. The prices seemed a little high and everything is a la carte. Over $100 for 3 people. read more

Honestly the BEST sushi I have ever eaten. The quality that this restaurant brings to the table is unparalleled! If you want TRUE + AUTHENTIC Japanese cuisine, look no further! read more

We have been having Sushi from Mitsu since 1985. In 1996 we moved back home to Hawaii but every time we return, Kanda sushi is a must visit to have sushi served by Mitsu. I always have the Omikase but my family just orders individual offerings. Mitsu knows fish quality and his sushi is even better than what we get at home.... Just visited with him 6/9/17. Still outstanding... Maybe another several years we'll visit relatives in California again and we will visit Kanda Sushi as long as Mitsu is there... read more

We recently moved to the area a year ago and have been in search for great sushi. At last, we found what we were looking for. A talented sushi chef, fresh and exotic fish. We were hesitant to share our approval on yelp because we want seats available at the bar for our convience. Though, that would be too selfish. After all, we did find Kanda Sushi on yelp. read more

the quality of sushi is best in class. they discourage use of sauces (ie soy, etc) with certain fish, much like a traditional japanese cuisine. love the friendliness of staff and ambience, totally rocks. read more

Best sushi in Westlake/T.O. area. It is EXPENSIVE though. Let Mitsu surpise you! He will not let you down!

This is the only restaurant we will go to for sushi in this area.. This is the real deal and something I have not seen in another place in the LA/ Ventura county area. You will not get fancy rolls with silly spider legs and you can be sure there will never be a roll named after you at this place. Mitsu is a true sushi master and is proud to present truly delicious, authentic Japanese food to people who appreciate the difference with other sushi places. There are much cheaper places and even some places more expensive, but if you want real sushi, from a proud Japanese master; this is the only place! read more

Nice lunch combo specials, comfortable seats at sushi counter bar, and really wonderful garlic edamonde.

Make sure your order 2 of each of the shishito peppers and eggplant skewers. Favorite sushi spot in the 818 and 805.

We've eaten sushi all over the world and Kanda is in the top echelon without a doubt. Keep up the good work.
