    Poke nachos is one of our favorites here. Very clean establishment and friendly staff. We keep on coming back.

    Teriyaki chicken
    Christian K.

    I was craving some teriyaki chicken before I went to work and remembered this place existed and haven't been in years. So I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl and a side of California rolls. To be honest, I didn't really like it and the rolls were the same quality as the one that you get at Ralph's. The person that was helping me order was incredibly friendly and helpful. The inside the restaurant was an open seating area with plenty of places to sit and enjoy. I am sure there are other things on the menu that taste amazing, but for my order today it did not satisfy my craving for teriyaki chicken

    Shrimp and steak
    Anne Joy U.

    Came to SanSai for lunch because we were in the area. Carlos, who was so kind and helpful, took our order. He went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we need. The food was delicious too! We enjoyed their Dragon Roll and Baked Salmon, which were bigger than we thought! Some sushi places as of late have been making their rolls smaller than usual. So I really appreciate SanSai for not changing that. We also got the shrimp and steak which comes with rice and two sides. Very flavorful and delicious. I def recommend this spot!

    Las Vegas Roll - 10 pcs (avocado, cream cheese, salmon, tempura) IG: @ammysalamii

    Located next to Applebee's at the old Pacific Theater parking lot. I don't eat here too often but my mom has been getting the salmon plate here lately for my dad and I which is pretty good. A little dry and really need to drench teriyaki sauce on it or something. Food comes out pretty quick so maybe they just aren't quality checking it? Idk. Decided to try something different by getting the Las Vegas Roll which is a tempura roll with avocado, cream cheese, and salmon. Sounds great! It was not flavored at all. Tempura was a bit soggy, could've used more sauce rather than just a drizzle on top. Idk what was up with it but it was not great. Definitely sticking to their rice plates and avoiding their sushi. I ate 3 pieces until I just couldn't anymore, basically mush. IG: @ammysalamii

    The sushi here is very delicious, and the restaurant is very pretty. The customer service was done with a friendly smile, and I would be delighted to return and eat here again! They have great options for vegetarians as well, and the tempura comes with a side of miso soup which I loved.

It is an interesting and welcoming restaurant and has a great atmosphere. I also love how the location has Japanese and Thai artwork all over. 4/5 Staff: The owner is super kind and helpful. She has a lot of passion and obviously cares about her customers. She is adorable and works very hard. I also thought that her staff was nice and attentive. 5/5 Price: I feel that the food is well priced and competitive. The serving portions meet my expectations and of course I will always say I want more, but that is unrealistic. 4.5/5 Food: Tonkatsu Chicken Curry Rice: Absolutely the dish I miss from Japan and this has that comforting dish vibe I used to have at home or in Japan.

Service was relatively quick, and they have a decent variety of sushi rolls, hand rolls, and sashimi to choose from. I opted for the 5 piece omakase that comes with free miso soup, and an order of the Albacore Delight. The miso was super hot! I burnt my tongue when I went to try it right away, so I may have lost a few taste buds in the process. I also ordered hot green tea - not nearly as hot as the miso, but an acceptable temperature, and a 12 oz Sapporo, which came with a chilled glass. Overall I enjoyed the sashimi, and sushi I ate. The salmon sushi from the Omakase was a little fishier than I'm used to, but all the other sashimi were great. The Albacore delight is almost citrusy and comes with a dash of hot sauce or some other chili-like sauce on top, and was perfection!

The restaurant itself is very nice and beautifully designed. However, we were greeted by a gentleman who seemed to us like he was on a mission to complete everything as quickly as he could, and it made us feel very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, we agreed to let them seat us. The gentleman came over and asked us what we would like to drink. We both asked for water and waited about 15 minutes while he took care of other customers and we never did get our water. While we were waiting, we glanced at the menu and thought that the prices were a little out of line, so we left, never to return.

Unfortunately, while the food was prepared traditionally, the overall execution was just average. The salad was heavily dressed, which overpowered the fresh ingredients. The aji nigiri lacked the delicate flavor and freshness I usually expect from quality Japanese sushi. The tempura was also disappointing, as it wasn't light and crispy the way authentic Japanese restaurants typically serve it. Most of the dishes were simply okay, and the steak was noticeably tough and difficult to chew. What stood out most was the service. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. Their excellent hospitality made the dining experience more enjoyable despite the food falling short of expectations. Overall, this is a restaurant with authentic Japanese roots and outstanding service, but the food itself was average and did not quite deliver the refined flavors and textures I was hoping for.

I was fighting a pretty rough hangover, and this bowl honestly brought me back to life. The broth was rich, full of flavor, and the spice level was just right.

I don't eat pork, but I'm okay with pork broth, so I asked if I could substitute the pork chashu for chicken. What I received instead was popcorn chicken, which was unexpected and not at all what I had in mind. There was no communication that this would be the substitute, which made it even more frustrating. On top of that, I was still charged for it without any clarification beforehand. Transparency goes a long way, especially when making substitutions. Overall, between the lackluster flavor and the confusing substitution, it just didn't feel like a thoughtful or well-executed experience.

It depends what you are in the mood for, and if you are not picky, you will find it, or something close to it, at this place. I come here to eat the basics, fresh fish, preferably sashimi style. Generally always start with their miso soup. Here it is priced at $2, is served piping hot (just the way I like it), has high quality and hits all the right notes to satisfy the nose and palate. For me, this sets the tone for lunch or dinner. This time it was the latter and I was in the mood for sashimi (of course), but also for a salad. So I selected a hybrid, the Sashimi Salad (3 pcs tuna, 2 pcs each of salmon, yellowtail, albacore, and 1 pce shrimp on top of mixed greens with soy mustard dressing). While the fish cuts were small, they were soft, had texture and hugged the tongue well while eating. I asked for the dressing on the side. For me this is important, because eateries tend to soak salads in dressing and mask the real taste and diversity of the dish. Ginger (not over pickled) and wasabi is complementary and I went through two portions of Ginger fast, and requested more. For the third time, they brought it in a small packed crucible. LOL. They made me real happy. Another wonderful visit to have sashimi at Tomodachi, in Porter Ranch.

Came in on a Sunday, I guess it's a good thing the AC is working, because there would not be other redeeming quality in this place. I guess whatever food place you put in a place like the Porter Ranch plaza, don't bother, I tried Silverlake Ramen, and it was the same dissappointment. Why the one star you might ask? We tried the following: Dynamite - The dynamite appetizer, this was a jumbled mess of some shrimp, scallops and they put asparagus? It's an odd mix, and there was this heavy tangy taste to it. Chirashi - We ordered the Chirashi, and half the fish were frozen, you can see the ice still slathering on the body of the fish - The tuna was not fresh, and when you eat it, there was some slimy texture on the fish, mind you this was supposed to be fresh. - The shrimp has no taste whatsoever, it's like biting into a paper - The tamago (egg) was hella sweet, it almost tasted like a desert on your sushi bowl Blue crab roll - The roll was overflowing with rice, and it was just a goop of stuff, piled into the roll. The price? it's way overpriced, for a mediocre quality meal. 10/10 would not be coming back.
