We drove 26 miles to try Yanagi Sushi after seeing a Tik tok about it. The king salmon with salt and truffle oil was magical. Seared salmon was so buttery, it melts in your mouth. Also the best crispy rice I have ever had! The service was outstanding and welcoming. I also loved the smooth jazz playing while I meditated over my plates. Yanagi Sushi is therapeutic and I will definitely make the trip up again! read more

Sushi so good and fresh, you won't even realize you are in the San Fernando valley! There rolls never disappoint, they prepare every roll with such delicacy. The price can be pretty high, so I only come here when I know I'm about to spend some serious cash on the best rolls! read more

Yanagi will forever be one of my favorite sushi spots. Been visiting this place for a good 8 years and it has not disappointed! Their sushi is fresh and flavorful! My all time favorites are the albacore sushi and their STDR. Always fresh and consistent. Their service is also always great. read more

Great neighborhood sushi joint. Chris, our server and family of owner, gave great recommendations. We enjoyed but it's not super close to where we live so probably won't be back. But it's good. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since they opened in 1989. There's a reason for that. Good food and great value. June and her husband, Young, have been there since. Both my sons grew up with Yanagi as a staple menu. They're both 31 and 27 years old respectively. My wife and I still go there regularly even during the covid pandemic. If you're looking for good, value and quality, come on over. You'll be satisfied. read more

My boyfriend and I came here Friday night for sushi. We waited to get seated in 6 minutes for a busy dinner rush! We ordered Spider roll, Super Philly Roll and Udon soup. The food came in fresh and delicious. Our waitress Alyana was very friendly and provided great service. I love the home style Japanese ambiance with amazing hospitality and service. The vegetable udon was so delicious served with tempura purple yam. The owner of this location was very nice. I highly recommend this location. read more

The owner June has run this amazing sushi gem spot in Northridge for over thirty years. She is not only super sweet, she keeps great control of the food quality and freshness. I'm a big foodie, sushi being my number one food on the list. This is by far the most fresh sushi in the greater LA area. Hands down. I can't believe more people don't know about this place. It's the best sushi. read more

First time at Yunagi and have to say everything was great. I ordered sushi and the red dragon roll. The sushi was very fresh and well presented. Chef recommended the black snapper with truffle and was glad that he did because it was a perfect bite. Have been looking for a sushi place near my work and finally found the place. Will definitely be back. Thanks Yanagi :) read more

This place provided absolutely terrible service. We ordered drinks that never arrived, yet we were still charged for them on the receipt. We couldn't even get water and had to eat our food without it. The quality of the food did not justify the $60 price tag, and after our initial order, no one bothered to check on us or offer us the chance to order more. When it came time to pay, neither of the staff members was willing to assist us, and there was no apology for the lack of basic service. I have never felt so eager to leave a place in my life. read more

Just had a jumbo Chuck roll. They made it from scratch when I described it. Inside is cooked salmon, shrimp tempura, and tune (not spicy). They had a double size sea weed and it is the size of my hand; humongous and sooo good. Check out pics at bottom read more

Truly one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. We go at least once a month- that's how great it is. The fish is always fresh. The dressings used on all the rolls are perfection. The tempura melts in your mouth. It's a bomb of flavor. The customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. Customers are treated like family. Everyone should check this place out. EVERYONE. read more

Amazing! The sushi was high quality and delish! Service was great too. Our server Chris asked what fish we liked. We listened to her recommendations and she ordered for us. Everything was great. The taste and freshness of the fish and the presentation on the plates enhanced our dining experience. Also, the ambience was perfect. Nice background music that allowed us to chat. Some of the newer sushi bars in our area play excessively loud music similar to a nightclub experience. This is not what we want when eating sushi. Yanagi Sushi is our new go to Sushi Bar! read more

Love coming here. I've come here on multiple occasions and am always treated like family. Servers are so attentive and friendly. The sushi chef has prepared all rolls and sushi so exquisitely. On a few occasions we have had the pleasure of receiving compliments of the chef. So delicious! read more

Updated review. I eat here or order often! My fave by far is the Oh Baby Roll! It never disappoints. It's riceless and just tasty overall. The food is good and fresh. The servers are ugh .... not up to par. There is one lady that is a great sever, and then there's the usual lady that's normally there that is an horrible server and doesn't check on you even if you're the only person in the place. I think she the owner so ‍. What can you do?? read more

This place is authentic, clean and serves exceptional, quality fish. The waitresses are personal and impress happiness and joy. This is our new spot- finally found one! Try the habanero sauce on anything if you like true spice (not just Siracha). read more

I have been coming here for YEARS and I don't plan on stopping! As a creature of habit, I tend to order the same thing every time I go because it is my favorite sushi roll; it is the crunch roll (no avocado w/ extra sauce). But, this time, I was convinced to also try one of their NEW specials. The special was called "Blue Crab Roll Up." As a seafood lover, I just HAD to try it. OH MY GOSH!!!! It was DELICIOUS! The crab was fresh with amazing flavor. After finishing the roll, I was already wanting more. Let's just say, I will be adding this roll to my "have to" order list from this place! Thanks Yanagi Sushi for always treating your customers well. Great food + great customer service = a Gem! I suggest you check out this place if you have not already! read more

Great food. Family ambience and alot of servers available and the food is great. Usually no wait.

Simply the best sushi. Been coming here since 1997 after a job transfer to Slymar. Mama and Papa remember the regulars. Great service.

I hadn't been back in many years, and was so delighted that the sushi is still so fresh and delicious

Better than I expected. Fish was fresh and service was friendly. They've been around for 30 years and I drove by it for the past 20 years and finally made a stop in there. Not at the level of the best sushi bars here in LA or in the valley but definitely solid. Easy parking and cheap prices. read more

Family-friendly place that's full of flavor. Stepping into this small but cozy restaurant never fails to deliver. My kids 9,7,6 years old always as us to come back. If you're a fan of fresh rolls and srent afraid of a little spice, then try the rising yellowtail roll. My kids go to favorite is the crunch. 5 stars from my family and I. read more

WOW. THIS WAS SOOO GOOD. I will definitely be going here again and would recommend to anyone. Philly roll was 8.95 and special cucumber roll was 15.95. Their food was really fresh and worth it. Very kind staff. read more

Nice place. The sushi I ordered was just ok. My husband loved the teriyaki chicken. Service was good for us we came on a Sunday evening.

Too much attitude from ppl here needs better service !!!!!!!! The sushi isn't a good quality and as I was walking out the door, I heard the servers talking shit about us read more

This is hands down the best sushi restaurant I've been to! The quality and care that goes into the food is top notch and everything is SO delicious! Their Uni Delight is probably my favorite dish on the menu; so melt-in-your-mouth, tears of joy good. And the service is amazing!! The people are so warm and welcoming and make you feel cared for and at home. If you're looking for quality food made and served by quality people, look no further!

Like any other typical mom and pop sushi shop they had a great selection of rolls and the fish is fresh and tasty. I'd say their strengths and their rolls. The ingredients in the composition it's of the best I've ever seen, especially for that price. The staff is super helpful and friendly and made me feel welcome to the point I enjoyed the experience. They also had some pretty good looking Korean dishes as an option that I'd like to try the next time. And they both had a pretty nice dessert selection. That I couldn't resist with the mango sorbet. I highly recommend coming here for a nice family own sushi experience. That you can sit back and relax and feel comfortable in. It's not as fancy, Loud, and over-the-top like some of the more trendy sushi places. But also the price reflects it. And I got a free miso soup with the check in. read more

Just went here with my family and from the very beginning everything was excellent. We asked for a table for 4 and we were told very respectfully 15 minute Wait. We waited and then were promptly seated even before 15 minutes. The food was excellent as well as the service. 100/10 read more

The food was amazing the service was the best we will absolutely be back for more soon!!

Filthy bathroom. Wasn't busy and waitress seemed to forget us. Fish not cold... first red flag. Rolls not tightly rolled. They all fell apart. No extra sauce on anything. Had to ask for wasabi. I thought the whole dining area was dirty looking. Needs a whole new paint job and updating. Sushi bar that we sat at was gross. Customer service was sub-par. One hour after, my partner had a diarrhea blow out. Never would go here again. read more

It was okay ! The sushi could have been better . They also overcooked the tempura. The service was good . The ambiance was good too.

Excellent sushi, has only gotten better over time! New rolls, sushi very fresh and delicious! The owners are very nice people who take pride in their business. read more

For someone who has never tried actual real sushi in their life I have to say I was quite impressed on how good it actually tasted. Im not a big fish person whenever I would go to sushi restaurants I would usually order my normal california rolls with garlic edamame. My Husband always raved about this place and how good their blue fin tuna is. He ordered a blue fin tuna hand roll and when it came out I wanted to try it, it looks really good. One bite and sure enough it was delicious the flavors of the tuna, cucumber and rice was the perfect combination. It didnt smell fishy or taste fishy it tasted really good. I ate the whole hand roll. Claps hand. Yaay me!!! I also tried thr garlic edamame which I wasnt too crazy for. I've had better. The Night Eye was actually really good too. It was a cut roll and the flavors of sweet and spicy was nice. I also tried the STDF spicy tuna deep fried the little crispy biscuit. The spicy mayo and jalapeño was a nice touch and it was so yummy and crunchy. All in all this is a great spot the people working here are very friendly, the sushi tasted great. I can't believe I finally tried real sushi and loved it. Thanks Yunagi for making my first time a great time. Will be back! This place is located on Corbin and Nordoff in a shopping center. Free miso soup with yelp check in. read more
