    Octopus sushi
    Paul R.

    I'm visiting family in California right now, and coming back to Sushi Story is one of the things I look forward to the most. I've been eating here for over a decade, and it never disappoints. Bruce -- the owner and sushi master -- is truly one of a kind. His talent, consistency, and kindness are a huge part of why this restaurant has stayed my all-time favorite for so long. Tonight's dinner was another reminder of why this place is unbeatable. I ordered: * 2 orders of albacore sushi -- buttery, fresh, and perfectly seasoned * 1 order of edamame -- simple, clean, exactly how it should be * 1 order of fried shu mai -- crispy, savory, and ridiculously good * 2 orders of yellowtail sushi -- melt-in-your-mouth perfect * 1 Rattlesnake roll -- rich, balanced, and beautifully plated * 1 special order (yellowtail + albacore) -- Bruce's custom creations never miss * 1 order of octopus sushi -- tender with great texture * 1 order of mackerel sushi -- bold, fresh, and expertly sliced Everything tasted phenomenal. The fish quality is on another level -- fresh, flavorful, and handled with the kind of precision and care you just don't find everywhere. Each dish in my photos not only looked stunning but had that signature Sushi Story taste that keeps me coming back year after year. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and personal. Bruce always remembers faces, always cares about the experience, and always delivers sushi that blows you away. If you're anywhere near this area of California and love sushi, Sushi Story is an absolute must. Ten+ years later, it's still my #1 -- and somehow, it's only gotten better. Thank you, Bruce, for another amazing meal. I'll always make time to come back when I'm in town.

    BEST SUSHI in Santa Clarita

    10000/10000 review. I come here every time I'm in Santa Clarita. By the far the best sushi and the garlic edamame is the best. Love this place!!!

    Sushi was fresh and plenty! They didn't skimp on the pieces of sashimi or on the rolls! They gave us edamame as a free app. The service was great, I'm guessing our server was the owner and she was nice and on it. The place is clean and the bathroom even has a bidet!

    Best sushi in Santa Clarita. I don't care what anyone says. The owner owned a restaurant in Vegas for many years and has brought that freshness and flair here! 10/10 would recommend

    damn near broke my belt eating here. server was attentive to detail on my order and nice. food was fresh and warm. good bento selection and lunch options. nice sashimi and sushi potions as well. place was full during lunch. lots of foot traffic with school nearby when it was let out and a starbucks next door so lots of moving pieces around lunch but the vibe inside is cozy with sports playing.

    B61. L.B. Roll(Lobster)
    Michael J.

    Shortest review ever .. I absolutely love this place and location and every time I go down to Castaic, my youngest, and I have to stop to get the LB roll. 3 of them actually.. 1 roll each and another to share.. Yeah like that... anyhoo The L.B. Roll offers a fusion of flavors with its combination of crab meat, cucumber, and avocado, baked to perfection and topped with succulent lobster and masago. The textures and tastes blend seamlessly, creating a savory experience, call me biased but this is the best role they have and the only role that I get. The attentive friendly, funny and bubbly wait staff adds to the overall enjoyment, making it a must-try for sushi enthusiasts. The sushi chefs make for a fun time. I can't praise them enough because I only eat sushi once a month and I make it a point to drive from Bakersfield to Castaic for their sushi. Thanks for listening. See you there.

    Overall the bento meal was delicious. The gyoza had a bit of spice I didn't recognize but it didn't over power the flavor.

    Still really enjoy going here! went today, it was slow at the time we went so food was coming out quick & HOT! We enjoyed the Spicy Volcano Roll, Crazy Boy Roll, Rattlesnake roll, miso soup (so good every time) & tempera veggies/shrimp. Everything was delicious & we recommend the Crazy Boy Roll if you want flavor. If you are a tempera veggies/shrimp lover like us the large was sooo much food! Highly recommended. The waitress today was super kind & helpful. She helped pack out go items & was extremely mindful of checking in on us.

    What happened? Rock shrimp miniature size now?
    Nada Q.

    What happened to the rock shrimp orders that are now 1/4 of the size they were originally? $97 total for this order? $40 alone for the two tiny rock shrimp orders. Unacceptable Check my previous reviews of how great it WAS. Wow, unbelievable. We called the restaurant to inform them of our extreme disappointment. They offered to refund us for the rock shrimp, but if this is the size now, we won't be reordering.

    Do they have all you can eat?

    Hello, not at this moment. Thank you!

    Do they offer Gluten Free that is safe for those with Celiac?

    Yes, a lot of their items are gluten free. They even had gluten free soy sauce but you have to ask for it.

    I'm having an issue trying to get a hold of you guys for a pick up order. I've tried on the separate days. I've called over and over again and it only rings. Is the right phone number posted on here? I'm about to give up on you guys.

We asked to be seated outside since the weather was nice and the guy without hesitating gladly got the table cloth and set up our table by their patio. It didnt take long before our server took our order for drinks and appetizer. We usually enjoy our appetizer first before ordering our main entrees but by this time we did see that more and more people were coming in. We didnt want to have to wait a very long time for our order due to how busy they were so we decided to get our main entrees. We ended up getting: Jalapeno Bomb (appetizer): it came with 4 pieces of jalapeños with cream cheese and spicy tuna inside. The jalapeños were spicy but the flavor was there. We finished this right away. Albacore Lovers (his order): it had a lot of crispy garlic flakes which I loved. It has a slice of jalapeno on top which was spicy and left my mouth burning a little bit. Not a big deal. We dont usually order albacore and to my surprise I really liked this one. Volcano (my order): this was under their baked rolls. It had salmon outside and spicy tuna inside. It was good but it was a lot for me. The service here is top notch. Servers would always walk around to see if you need anything or want to order more. The prices are very reasonable too. We will definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

The space is cozy and clearly a family-run restaurant, thoughtfully decorated with a calming ambiance. The staff was friendly, attentive, and communicative. The kitchen was a bit backed up due to a recent rush of tables, but we were in no hurry and didn't mind at all. What stood out was that our waitress proactively let us know before we ordered, and later brought out a delicious complimentary gyoza dish, unprompted. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented, but the Mango Roll and Black Snapper were standouts for me. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely stop by again next time we're passing through.

    We arrived on a Friday around 7:35pm. For a table of 2 we were quoted a 30 minute wait, which was…read morealmost accurate as our table was ready in 25 mins. I believe our server's name was Hollyn. She asked us if we had ever been there before, and we said no. She offered to give us the spiel of how everything works but it seemed pretty straight forward. There were three menus - All You Can Eat, Adventures in Niku, and A la Cart. We opted for the AYCE premium at $50/person. We were told we can order 2 meats per person, and then as many sides as we wanted when we put in an order. We ordered: Garlic edamame, cheese corn, cucumbers, vegetable spring rolls, fried pork gyoza dumplings, toro beef, angus beef rib, New York steak, pork belly, shishito peppers, and a few other meat options that I can't remember from the AYCE menu. A la cart we ordered the garlic rice. From the Adventures in Niku menu we got the $2.50 Kirin drafts. My personal favorites were the Angus Beef Rib, garlic edamame, garlic fried rice, and lots and lots of s'mores! We were very impressed with our server because she was very present and not on autopilot. For example, when we put in our first order we ordered the garlic fried rice and a two steamed white rices. I believe when a different employee dropped off our meats, she said she was going to get the white rice but never came back. My partner and I didn't think anything of it because the garlic fried rice was so large, and we can always order more steamed rice if we really needed it. About halfway into our meal, our server looks at our food and goes "didn't you order 2 steamed rices in addition to the garlic fried rice?!" I said yes and she immediately went to go get it. It was really nice to see that she wasn't just putting orders in as she heard them, but she was actually fully present and listening to what the order was and then doing mental checks to see if we had received everything. She was fantastic! In addition to our server, I noticed that there were bussers who would walk around looking for empty plates to remove. This really helped with keeping our table as empty as possible for all the food that we ordered. Overall, the food was something fun and different than we're used to. However, the stand out for me were the friendliness and efficiency from all the employees.

    Dear Mr. T, I am…read morewriting to express my disappointment regarding an incident that occurred at your restaurant yesterday evening. First, I would like to say that my family and I have dined at your restaurant on several occasions and have always had positive experiences. We have enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service, which is why the experience we had last night was particularly disappointing. My family and I visited your establishment again and ordered from the à la carte menu. After we had finished most of our meal and paid our bill, some members of our party, including my brothers, were still enjoying their sake and finishing their drinks. To our surprise, a staff member approached us and asked us to leave the restaurant. While I understand that it was a busy evening and that there may have been other customers waiting for tables, I found it inappropriate and unprofessional to be asked to leave when we were still consuming items we had legitimately purchased. We did not order from an all-you-can-eat menu, which typically has a clearly stated time limit. As paying customers dining from the regular menu, we reasonably expected to be allowed to finish our food and beverages without feeling rushed or pressured to leave. What was most disappointing was the manner in which the situation was handled. Hospitality should include treating guests with courtesy and respect, regardless of how busy the restaurant may be. Being asked to leave while still finishing our drinks and foods left us feeling unwelcome and diminished what would otherwise have been an enjoyable dining experience. I hope you will address this matter with your staff and reinforce the importance of professional customer service and respectful communication. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I would appreciate your acknowledgment of this complaint and any information regarding how this matter will be addressed. Sincerely, Carla

Ordered: Spicy tonkatsu ramen bowl Kaki fry-deep fried oysters Shrimp har gow Spicy tuna roll Everything was tasty and flavorful...and was captivated enough (with the food) that I forgot to take pics! Generally speaking the food was fairly priced with lots of variety. My biggest complaint is the service, they literally have one person doing everything and when that person is occupied everything else comes to a halt...including my order being placed. During my visit, I was ready to order and that didn't get done until after others were helped. I think I waited 10-15 mins after I was seated until the one server took my order and asked if I wanted something to drink. I understand good help is hard to find but restaurants like Takuma need to figure out the service is also part of the experience. I'm sure I'll find another restaurant (in the greater Santa Clarita area) that cares as much about service as they do food.

And a quick search from Yelp reminded me that we were here last time! I guess they are still attractive. This place felt like it was run by the Vietnamese, as all hosts and servers spoke Vietnamese to each other. The menu is as extensive as before, 2 full pages of rolls! One page is the standard ones, like the Lion King, sumo rolls, 49er's, and the other page is their special rolls. Unlike last time that we tried a bunch of their special appetizers (and they are still the same on the menu), we tried the rolls and bento this time and I think I like that more. We ordered the Teena roll, the Gilbert roll, an order of salmon roe sushi, a side order of chicken fried rice, and a tempura bento. The rolls tasted good, soft and slightly chewy in the mouth with a blend of all the sashimi and crab meat and sticky Japanese rice. The tempura bento was sumptuous! It came with a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of white rice, 4 or 5 pieces of gyoza, a salad, cucumber, a pre-cut orange, and 8 or 9 pieces of tempura of a variety. My least favorite is probably the salmon roe sushi as I wish the roes look bigger and more orange-y. Service was great. Although we were told they were busy and we might have to wait a bit, food started to come in less than 5 minutes! We didn't get a water refill but the glass of water was big. Dirty dishes were taken away timely too. I've been abused by the Bay Area exorbitant prices for a long time, it was such a pleasure to see rolls priced at $15. So overall, it was a good dinner in town.

    I could truly write a novel about how much I enjoy this restaurant. As someone who regularly comes…read morehere for sushi, I've had the opportunity to try different items on the menu throughout the years. I fully trust everything coming out of here will be high quality and delicious. When I say I have legitimately been begging Chef Tim for YEARS to offer an omakase experience, I truly mean YEARS. Well, it was a random Wednesday and I found myself wandering in for dinner. Because it was a little early (5:30pm), there were no other customers seated (toward 6:15pm it started getting busy though!) . I gladly took the opportunity to once again beg Chef Tim to do a makeshift omakase experience for my partner and I. I was overjoyed when he agreed since it was on the slower side. He knows our order, and is familiar with our taste preferences, so I completely trusted him. I was super excited to watch Chef Tim be in his element, allowing him to be creative and make something he wouldn't necessarily have time for on a busy day. His passion truly shines in his craft and I knew this was going to be quite an exciting experience. Chef Tim's makeshift omakase experience included: halibut with truffle oil, cripsy rice with toro and caviar, miso chilean sea bass, a trio of seared items including scallop, aburi toro and peppered salmon, Blue fin akami, salmon belly and yellowtail belly, a pickled radish roll with Bluefin tuna, salmon yellowtail, and avocado and the A5 wagyu with uni. He also made secret menu items such as deep fried scallops, maguro yamakake, and my newest favorite which was the "fish taco." The "Fish Taco" was a deep fried garlic red snapper over creamy spicy tuna. I really did enjoy each and every dish he selected for us. I couldn't even begin to rank them because they were all fresh, delicious, served at the perfect temperature and paired well with one another. He did a great job at spreading out raw with deep fried, for a great balance of flavors and textures. (I'm still wishing that he would offer an omakase experience one day - he absolutely killed it!). I was pleasantly surprised by the A5 Wagyu with uni, "Fish Taco" and the the seared trio. It's funny because if you were to ask me I'd say I LOVE raw fish, so the fact that these three stood out to me really surprised me. Another thing is, I would never gravitate toward beef at a sushi spot, but I was thoroughly impressed with how well the flavors infused together. I knew they offered it on their menu, and like I said before, I thoroughly trust them, so if I was going to go out of my element it would be here. Another thing that I wanted to mention was that you can special order a whole sushi cake! While we didn't pre order one today, we had it in the past and it's also one of my favorite items. It consists of salmon and ikura on top with rice, masago, and imitation crab inside. I'd much prefer this over a real cake any day! Overall if you've stayed with me for this long, then you can probably already tell that I'm the self proclaimed President of the Ananto fan club. I'm just really sorry to my partner's wallet because I keep adding more and more new foods we just HAVE to order every time we go ;).

However, since we were already there, we decided to give it a try. ​After getting seated, we ordered drinks and wrote down our sushi order on the paper provided. We also added a few appetizers and rolls. Even though there were no other customers, the food took quite a long time to come out. ​The most disappointing part was the service. Instead of placing the dishes on the table, the server just handed everything to me directly. I had to take every single plate and set it down on the table myself. I'm not sure if the server was untrained or just lazy, but my wife and I could only laugh at how absurd it was. ​To top it all off, the sushi we ordered at the very beginning never arrived, even after we had finished all our other food. It was clear they completely forgot about it, so we just asked for the check, paid, and left. This was our first time here, and we definitely won't be coming back.
