    Salmon plate with cabbage and salad. The salad was actually pretty refreshing and flavorful
    Johana H.

    Stopped by while in Moorpark. Parking was easy as it's in a big plaza. It was a sunday afternoon, and there was plenty of seating. While the portions were big, the food was okay but it did the job. I got the salmon plate drizzled with teriyaki with the cabbage side and salad side and rice so pretty much comes with 3 sides and a veggie skewer. A lot of food for a small fast food joint. Everything was good but the salmon was pretty thin. We also got one red dragon roll and my bf got the cali and steak plate which comes with a California roll. The sushi is not really worth it here. The red dragon roll had an odd aftertaste that I usually don't taste in a dragon roll and it also tastes dry. The California roll was extremely bland and dry. My bf also got the miso soup which was also bland. We also ordered potstickers which were okay. Service was nice and welcoming when we told them it was our first time there. The guy there went over the menu in detail. Like I said it did the job. Not sure if I'd come back.

    Resto is kinda dirty and it was empty. They give you big servings but the rolls are tasteless. The rice portion is not seasoned. It just tasted overcooked white rice with some other stuff. I ended up throwing the rice portion Teriyaki salmon was good and so were the potstickers. but I ain't going back just to try under stuff

    Their "spicy" Yellowtail roll. I'm pretty sure that's drizzled with Frank's Red Hot...

    EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED I ordered a spicy yellowtail and tuna roll. I drove back to Simi Valley to enjoy my meal only to be met with this.... The pictures speak for themselves. Tuna roll had hardly any fish & it was all cucumber. The spicy yellowtail roll was also a joke. Again, practically no fish and is that Frank's red hot drizzled on the top?? Come on kiku do better! I'd take it back and get a refund but I live in Simi and it's not worth my time/gas to drive back. Don't think I'll be coming here anymore if this is how they're going to do business....

    I skipped breakfast and by the time I had time to eat it was lunch (1PM) and when I looked at Yelp…read moreto try something new these pictures looked appetizing and got me craving sushi. The establishment is kind of hidden in the corner next to the shell gas station and there is ample parking. As I was walking towards the front, I see a sign stating that they have a happy hour starting at 1 o'clock and it was 1259 so I was very excited to see what this look like especially for it being my first time here. This meant that I get to try a lot of new things and a lot more things. There is about 10 to 15 tables inside with different amounts of seating and since it was just my boyfriend and I and the lady gave us the choice to sit wherever then we chose a table with two seats but, had us move to the next one because she said that the two seat ones were for single people, especially because it was lunchtime. She refused to let us sit at the two person table ‍. We got several menus and a pencil with an ordering paper. She took our drink order and we started to explore the vast menu and it all looked great! (I love when they have pictures on the menu apart from descriptions) After she brought us waters, I asked her if the special menu was considered the happy hour menu and she said it's not happy hour yet and I said yes it is 1 o'clock and she looked at my boyfriends clock on his phone and apologized and brought the happy hour menu. I included the receipt so you can see that 4/5 rolls were happy hour pricing. The sushi chefs were 2 Hispanic men and the reason why I mention this was because I feel like most of my rolls had this "chili powder" that resembled Tajin on my rolls and that's what they called "spicy" half my rolls were supposed to be spicy tuna but the tuna itself was not spicy they just had this Tajin-like powder on top and to me it wasn't spicy at all and I also felt like it made those 2/3 rolls taste bland. My bf loves deep fried rolls so he opted to try the magic mtn and he loved it and I think I enjoyed the spider roll the most. Even the spicy tuna on the crispy rice was just regular tuna with no spice. We still thought it tasted good but we will maybe give it another try with different rolls next time. They have a punch card if you spend $50+ after I think 10 you get a free speciality roll. The chefs gave us a parting remark and we thanked them upon leaving for lunch. Our server was a little more cold but kudos to her for handling the whole restaurant by herself in an efficient manner as our food came out quick and we got water refills and she checked in on us while serving 5/6 other tables all by herself.

    We came for a late dinner and wanted some sushi, so we tried this sushi spot out that's been here…read morefor 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.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel other…read morecustomers 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.

    It's not my preferred activity to pan a local independent business. The last time Dear Hubby and I…read morestopped in was not as good as the time before, though. The food was just so-so, and maybe I just chose wrong? The name "California Bowl" to me doesn't suggest a particular type of Asian cuisine, so I was confused about there not being dumplings. The only kind they really have are the shape of potstickers, but they are only fully fried. I ended ordering the Shrimp Udon, and it was just okay. Challenging to eat without getting broth everywhere, actually. DH and I did share an order of the fried dumplings and they were too well cooked for my preference. DH wasn't in the mood for sushi, but I think that would have been a better choice here that the noodles. I'd personally like more vegetables as part of the offerings. The restaurant was clean. Service was okay, if on the austere side. I was still craving the food from my new local favorite place when we left after our short visit to California Bowl.

It's been around forever and they are very generous with their portion sizes for the price. Their gyoza sauce is delicious, it's sweet and very addictive. My only complaint is that the man at the front isn't very friendly and always seems very reluctant when I ask for extra gyoza sauce. I've mentioned multiple times that I'm willing to pay for additional sauce, but he still begrudgingly gives it to me. It does make me hesitate to go in as often because I feel like I have to practically beg for enough sauce to fully enjoy my meal. Aside from that, everyone else has always been very nice and polite. Overall, it's a great restaurant with delicious food.
