You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. We tried a couple rolls and they were balanced--not just drenched in sauce to cover up mediocre ingredients. Portions felt fair for the price, and the menu has enough variety that you can keep coming back without getting bored. It's also a cozy, intimate little spot--perfect for a low-key sushi night. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the timing between dishes was solid.

The service was great, food excellent, and fair prices! All around recommend and will be back.read more

It's rare to find a meal that leaves you truly stunned and speechless but Sushi Tanaka did exactly…read morethat. An absolute showstopper of a meal from start to finish. This reservation took a full year to secure and I would gladly wait another year to experience it again. The hardest reservation in Ventura County? Without a doubt. Worth it? YES doesn't even begin to cover it. Dining at Sushi Tanaka is an experience in itself, especially in the presence of a legend like Chef Sei Tanaka. He is warm yet serious, focused yet playful and his dishes speak volumes. Every bite is layered with personality and skill. On the night we came in, my dearest friend Leslie and I had the entire restaurant to ourselves. I can't explain how we had an entire seating to just us but it was magical and intimate. We dinned on 18 courses, each one a surprise more delicious than the last. You just sit back and the chef chooses each bite for you. We've never had octopus so impossibly tender it melted in our mouths. Ice cold sake, warm fish soup, literally I could go on and on about this meal. Choosing favorites feels almost wrong because every course was exceptional, but if forced, the Santa Barbara uni on wagyu, Japanese scallop, Sea bream, and Toro with uni were some of the most impressive and unforgettable bites I've ever had. Never did I imagine that the best sushi I've ever experienced in Ventura County would be found in Simi Valley, but here we are. What an absolute treasure this city holds. I truly hope everyone gets the opportunity to support and experience this extraordinary omakase at least once in their life.

I know people may underestimate the odds of 5 star quality in Simi Valley. But it exists and this…read moreis the place! Whether you're in the neighborhood or driving in from LA county. This is worth the coins, gas and time. When you get there it is the one sushi chef and whoever else has a reservation. The night was filled with delicious kanpachi, salmon, uni, oyster, caviar, scallop, nigiri, tuna and so much more. It was a couple of hours of endless sushi, sashimi, salad and even some miso soup. It is not an easy reservation to get but totally worth it about $100 or more per person but it's alot of food. So make sure to make room. Great for a dat or a group of friends. The chef is so patient, kind and he explains every dish. He also has a nice playlist of blues music playing throughout our dinner. It helps to take you into a different place. 10 out of 10 i recommend.

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.

Unfortunately, the ramen didn't meet my expectations. The tonkotsu broth looked rich and creamy, but it lacked the depth of flavor and seasoning I normally expect from this style of ramen. The chashu pork was also dry and tougher than it should have been, instead of being tender and melt in your mouth. The noodles and soft boiled egg were good, and the presentation was nice, but the broth and pork are the stars of a ramen bowl, and they fell short during my visit. It may have just been an off day, so I'd be willing to give them another try in the future. I hope they can improve the consistency because the staff was welcoming, and I'd love to have a better experience next time.
