Excellent quality sushi! Highly recommend. Ordered yellowtail, salmon, ikura and tamago. Also ordered rainbow roll. Everything was very good esp their salmon and yellowtail. The rainbow roll isn't traditional in that there is a sauce over it. It still tasted good but if you want a traditional rainbow roll then ask for it without the sauce. read more

Yanagi Sushi - Salmon and yellowtail sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Northridge, California

The old owners recently retired and sold the place. The staff seems intact. Is it possible that our fave neighborhood Japanese place is even better? It's just a great place to enjoy a creative roll or two and perhaps some very well-prepared bulgogi. read more

I have been going here for years! The rolls are always delicious! I love the New Horizon and the Oh Baby is always fresh!

I love this place. it's comfortable, welcoming and the food is delicious. the variety of sushi is amazing. I highly recommend this place.

Wife and I tried this place after seeing pop ups ads from Instagram. Food was not good and we wont be coming back again.

Amazing customer service. The inside decor reminds me of being in a family own sushi spot in Japan. The food quality is amazing. They have happy hour drink specials read more

Our favorite sushi spot in SFV! The staff is so sweet with our little ones. The food is consistently fresh. We recommend the grace roll.

First time at Yanagi great, and delicious sushi Steve and rest of team created very friendly and welcoming atmosphere The spicy tuna was a little too fishy for my taste and the rice needed to be rinsed better. It had a starchy taste but everything was great thank you Steve!! read more

Ordered thru door dash at 3 in the afternoon. The order arrived by 3:45. So it did not sit out of the fridge long. Spicy tuna cut roll smelled fishy and tasted off. I also ordered 2 other rolls, rainbow and I cant remember the other but all tasted off. Got diarrhea within 3 hours of eating the food and the rest of the evening stomach was upset and multiple trips to the bathroom. I also ordered a bento box with Mixed tempura and sushi mix. that tasted ok. read more

This is a true little gem! Everything was very fresh and every single roll we selected was perfectly done. My fave was the sashimi roll! You have to try this spot. There's a reason they've been around for so many years. read more

I was surprised to come in for lunch and learn that the original owners had retired. Admittedly, I felt a bit dubious about whether the experience would still hold up. The exterior had been remodeled to feature large, vibrant images of sushi, while the interior remained largely the same. We were greeted warmly and sat at the sushi bar. As expected, the menu had been updated, but I was happy to see some old favorites still available: yanagi roll, mexican roll, jessica alba roll. I was curious about the featured items on the board. The sushi chef handed me my first order--the scallop carpaccio with honey yuzu--and simply said, "No soy sauce needed." In my head, I thought, we shall see. You know that scene in Ratatouille where Remy describes every flavor in a dish? That was me. My mouth was experiencing an explosion of flavors, with a perfect burst of lemon tying it all together. It was phenomenal. We ordered another because it was just that good. And he was correct, soy sauce was not needed nor was it used. We also tried the crunchy eel and blue crab roll, which was equally delicious. Honestly, writing about it now makes me wish I could go back already. I'll definitely be making the effort to visit more often! And hey, the price has gone up compared to the past but the reality is the price of everything has gone up and inevitably it will trickle down. But if the quality is top notch, it's worth it. read more

Their foods already great. Gotta get the 3pc bento, such a good portion, and can't miss out on their macaroons. Definitely next level.

Andrea was so fantastic to us on Mother's Day. I love Steve who works here as well! Best sushi in Northridge. 100% reccomend. Ask for Andrea if you're not at the bar !!! She's amazing!!!! read more

My family and I have driven by this spot for years, but usually frequent another local spot. We came in when our usual place was closed, and our experience was so positive that we have since come back to Yanagi, and it's now in our rotation for sushi spots! I really love that the price is right, and the quality is fantastic. Yanagi is situated in a strip mall, and there is a decent sized lot that shares spaces with the other businesses. Be sure to double check signage before you park since some of the spots are designated for specific businesses or have time limits. Inside, there are 10-12 counter seats, and around 10 tables that can be configured for groups between 2-8 people. The space is clean, and the service is wonderful-Kris in particular was really friendly and gave us some great recommendations. - Yellowtail Carpaccio (Yellowtail sashimi with sliced jalapeno served with half ponzu and yuzu with a hint of sriracha): a wonderful appetizer-their yellowtail has great flavor and the ponzu/yuzu combination is mouthwatering. - 911 Roll (Spicy tuna & cucumber, topped with avocado, habanero sauce): fairly standard roll, but delicious and great to share since it comes with eight pieces. - Rising Yellowtail Roll (Spicy tuna topped with yellowtail, cilantro, green onion): One of my favorites! I loved the cilantro and yellowtail together and this roll tasted really fresh and bright. - Sexy Roll (Spicy shrimp, avocado, cucumber, topped with salmon, chili oil & sesame oil): All of the flavors were working for me here-the spicy shrimp was less mushy than the spicy tuna, and the pieces of salmon on top were thick and buttery. This one is wrapped in soy paper! - Sashimi (Chef's Choice, 12 piece): Super fresh and has large pieces; this really showcases the quality of the fish. - Gyoza (Beef & Pork): flavorful, not super greasy, and perfect to share! Definitely looking forward to coming back to Yanagi! Instagram: @waitingtoeat read more

Really people? 4 stars? The people who gave this place high marks should be banned from Yelp. This place is terrible. You would be better off going to Ralph's and getting sushi. Actually, you should go to Mitsuwa nearby, that's best option around Northridge. The sushi is terrible. I refused to eat the whole meal. Service was not good either. Restaurant is run down. No pride in your work. read more

One of our favorite local spots in the valley. Great service and even better sushi. Our favorite is anything with yellowtail!

The food was amazing. Definitely recommend the Sexy roll and the 911 roll. 10/10 will come again

One of our favorite sushi spots! We come here several times a month and the fish is always fresh and delicious. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the service is always great. It's hard to find a place that's this consistent, which is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Good sushi and good vibes. The shrimp tempura was really crispy and delicious. Loved how low key this place was. Would come back again!

Service was great, sushi was fantastic. Bento box was delicious with lots of food. The sushi rolls are big with lots of fish.

Came here before closing and they still provided exceptional service. Love the salmon skin roll and the warm colors. Will come again!

Great sushi! I highly recommend it! I used to go to other sushis around the valley but i would put this in my top 10.

Small cozy place with amazing sushi! First time coming here and we will be returning again and again. The variety of no rice sushi is amazing and the blue fin melted in our mouthes. The kids even said let's makes this a regular place to go! read more

Came here one night to eat. Saw good reviews in youtube and instagram so I said we have to try it. Anyway we ordered the takoyaki to start with and it was disappointing. They served us with a 1 out of 5 hot outside and cold inside takoyaki! Meaning it is frozen and fried when someone orders it. We just let it go. Their sushi is pretty ok. I'be had better. Presentation is good though. Place is small but clean. Staff are nice. Could have given this place 4 stars if not for that takoyaki read more

Food is fresh, very tasty. Good service. Sometimes takes time to get your order, so have a drink and relax.

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 5 I eat a lot of sushi, literally got 2 reservation for sushi in a week! Dunno how I've never had this spot before, especially living in the valley for so long! Place is tucked away in a strip mall? Nothing fancy so casual dining and good for a date! Now to the food, I just had nozawa bar which is considered one of the best sushi in Los Angeles, and this place had some cuts of fish that could go toe to toe with the best!! Service here is also great, just like a high end restaurant, which is great news, now I don't have to travel as far. The only thing is the ambiance, very 90s style sushi bar, dark and aged. Other than that great experience, will be back to try omakase, i came at the wrong day of the week, when they ran out of a lot of the fish belly. Thanks read more

Not sure why they can't give extra wasabi when I asked for it on every roll I ordered. If I didn't ask for extra when I picked up my food i wouldn't have gotten any. Upsetting! read more

The sushi was amazing! It was fresh and delicious. The service was prompt and everyone was very nice and welcoming. We are not from the area but we went on a Monday and it was not too busy. It is a small restaurant but those are always the next! We can tell the quality of the fish was prestige. read more
