Live scallop sashimi
Livia S.

We have been a patron of Mutsumi for years since they took over ownership of Omino sushi. The chefs are still the same ones that worked at Omino so you know they are top quality. Mutsumi is Japanese owned and only hires Japanese sushi chefs which is really nice. Now, let's talk about the important stuff: fish quality. Mutsumi has some of the freshest sashimi that I've ever tasted! Everything is top quality including their tempura. Tempura is light and flaky as it should be. As for ambiance, Mutsumi is your typical mom & pop Japanese establishment. It's cozy and clean. Definitely a local gem worth checking out!

Still one of my faves after all these years! Location 4: Chatsworth California, off of Devonshire and DeSoto, in a small strip mall. Limited parking on the lot but you can park on the street as well. Venue 4: Typical San Fernando valley mom and pop sushi establishment with a sushi bar and a handful of tables. No outdoor seating. Service 4: Always friendly, polite and attentive. Many of the servers have been there for the last several years. Drinks 4: Beer on tap and bottles, wine, sake, tea and soft drinks. Sapporo on tap is pretty solid and their sake list is pretty good. Food 4: Fresh, high quality fish prepared and served by experienced chefs that have been with the restaurant for many years. I've been going there for over 20 years and most of the chefs there date back to those days! Solid menu of sushi, sashimi, rolls and Japanese dishes. The Last Word: A great choice in the San Fernando Valley for authentic Japanese cuisine without the hype! One of my culinary comfort zones. Highly recommended.

Baked Oyster Dynamite
Peter M.

It's been a while, since I last visited Mutsumi, so it was time to pay it another visit. Located in a corner of a very small strip mall, with congested parking, the sushi spot still commands a loyal following. It is a cozy place that has a small sit down sushi counter (3 sushi chefs, at that) and few tables in a compact dining space. Therefore, not surprising that this place gets full fast and you may have to wait for a spot, even though you have a reservation. I was dining solo and waited about 10 minutes for my corner table. Started with my favorite here, the Baked Oyster Dynamite. It lived up to my past memories. For the main, my selection was the Sashimi Dinner Combo. It comes with Tuna, Yellow Tail, Amber Jack Scallop, Salmon and Sweet Shrimp. The raw seafood was fresh and tender. This dish includes steam rice and miso soup, which was served hot and flavorful, with sea weed and small cubes of tofu. A salad was also included. Disappointingly, it only contained lettuce and arrived fully doused with thousand island dressing. I had to send it back and ask for another try, this time with the lettuce and dressing separated. Furthermore, why not a Japanese or ginger dressing to jive with the restaurant? Service was attentive, timely, caring and delivered in a professional manner.

Haven't been here for 11mos according to Yelp, but still very good spot for high quality sushi! Just ate here & would still absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is a sushi enthusiast! Great service & the food is to die for! 5/5 stars!

Shrimp/Veggie Tempura, salad, and Spicy Tuna roll
Rick L.

I just started a new position at a nearby law office and was looking for places to eat. I came across their menu and was encouraged to see they had sukiyaki on the dinner menu. Unfortunately, I didn't envision myself eating dinner there, but I went for lunch and asked if they were actually serving it at dinner. Unfortunately, it appears they don't. I've been searching for a Japanese restaurant that serves it, with no avail. :-( Nevertheless, I did eat lunch there and it was magnificent. My wife is Nihonjin (Sansei, actually) and she's trained me well in what good sushi and Japanese food is. I had their lunch special and was surprised to have it start with a small dish of Sunomono accompanying the Miso soup. The main dish was a nice salad, a handful of bean sprouts, half a dozen green beans covered in sesame seeds, two pieces of Tempura shrimp, several pieces of Tempura vegetables, and four pieces of Spicy Tuna Roll. There was also a nice big bowl of gohan (rice). I finished everything, even though my 78 year old hands are now having trouble with hashi. For my money, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the portions were just right. Next time I will have some Toro and Hamachi to really experience the quality of their fish. There will definitely be a next (and probably a next and another next) time.

Went for lunch. Everything was delicious especially tempura. Staff was friendly. Will go again soon!

The quality of fish here is amazing. It's been a while since I dined here. I came to dinner with my sister and cousins and had a lovely time. Great service and great sushi. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The sea trout was amazing, the scallops melt in your mouth. The yellowtail hand roll stole my heart and the crispy rice tuna was addictingly good. The ambiance is ok, dated restaurant with old furniture but who cares I'm here for the sushi. It's clean and organized. If you are looking for amazing sushi look no further. Stop by and check them out.

Oysters
Luisa J.

One of my most favorite sushi spots ever now. Sad that I moved away from the area, but when I visit, this place comes first! Such quality sushi here, can get pricy, but it's well worth it. The first time I came here I had the best experience, but the second time and third time (both within a week) I will say I was disappointed because they ran out of the sweet shrimp and had served me salmon sushi when I specifically ordered salmon belly , both times that I came. Other than the above, everything else was satisfying. My favorite roll here is the creamy salmon, it is delicious! The spicy scallop roll is good too. Their oysters are a must, they are too good( a little pricey) and their miso soup is my fave.

Love scallop special yuzu

I'm not one to go to a sushi spot and just get some veggie rolls but since my friend mention how…read moregood this place was and the HH menu I was like why not! Got here around 4ish (while still in happy hour time) and ordered everything off the HH menu. Got two types of edamame, a california roll for my friend and I got the veggie roll (loaded with veggies) and then we got a cucumber roll to share. Everything was really good, made to order and fresh. ** they have gluten free soy sauce (you just have to ask). Service was good for an early dinner rush, place was busy but rolls came out relatively quickly after ordering. Plenty of seating.

Parking is very easy since there is a huge lot for the whole mall. If you park closer to the Yard…read moreHouse, you'll find it an easier walk. Walked in for dinner and literally waited for four minutes before someone greeted my party or even offered to take down our names to be seated. It wasn't too loud since the restaurant was at half capacity. Has a nice modern Ish theme in the dining area. The menu is pretty straightforward, you get a double sided menu with pictures and a separate paper to write down which items you'd like. The quality of the fish was decent however the Nigiri has way too much rice for the size of the fish. I've eaten a lot of sushi, restaurants, and I've never had sushi rice that was as dry. This could all just be an off day, but do not think I will be coming back for any reason.
