The food was okay. The rainbow sushi roll that we got was extremely salty. The best part of the meal was definitely the tempura. Still on the search for a good sushi place near van nuys.

So lucky to have good japanese cuisine nearby. Our family loves the nasumiso, agedashitofu, udon, and tempura. The sesame chicken and teriyaki is also always great!

The eggplant dish was burning hot. They should know that eggplants will keep lots of heat and stick it to your mouth. I suggest they cook it and eat it themselves before serving it to customers. Their Nasumiso is chopped up into squares and served in a bowl instead of the actual nasumiso where it is halved eggplant with skin intact and grilled equivalent of Mexican chile relleno or Filipino tortang talong the veggie is grilled so it is not so damn hot and full of sauce. The first bite burnt my tongue. I waited for 10 minutes and it was still super burning hot like I was eating burning coal. The waitress ignored me 3 times when I said it is hot. The waiter later came and was being defensive and said they make food nice and hot but burning tongue hot? Come on. The Northridge roll was salty and they covered it with lots of sweet taste which turned out super disgusting. The plate has some hot shrimp covered with white sauce kelpi mayo that looked like bird poop. Again. Cold sushi mixed with hot shrimpy slime made the sushi taste unpleasant. I tried to finish the sushi roll because I was hungry coming back from my gun training. but threw up when I got home. I barely ate the #17. The beef steak was too chewy to the point I just can’t eat it anymore and the sashimi was not cold. They tried to cover it with sesame, onions and two pieces got a lemon slice in between. I have never seen any sashimi master do that. It is always served immediately cold without tempered garnish on the sashimi. If there is any garnish, it is ice. Yet the beef doesnt havw garnish other than a piece of leaf. This is also a closed kitchen the chef looks like a middle-aged woman. It is not Asian owned. The rice was mushy non-Japanese style. More of your local Mexican Spanish rice style without the Spanish spice. Filipino style more likely. I gave them one star for the shrimp tempura and the miso soup. The Wasabi was darker than usual I suspect it was from the cheap Wasabi tubes. No Wasabi stamping art–Just a squeeze. The waitress also put the food all over the place. Didn’t take any control of the situation. The waiter said she is new staff. I It was utmost unpleasant experience specially my tongue got burned. I have passed by this shop dozens of times but I will keep passing this place and also all of my friends have been warned. I thought this is a hidden gem but the ratings here is indeed hyped. Not a 4.6 but 2.9 is more realistic. Please hone your skill and actually learn to cook correctly with open kitchen. The waiter took off the nasumiso for me but at this point I didn’t care I just wanted to leave immediately and go home because I was disappointed. It is just so unfair the Pakistani restaurants across serves seriously real good food but they don’t have as many customers as this fake sushi shop.

My wife really liked the sushi she got here. I found my tempura to be fine but nothing special. Service was extremely inattentive and slow, especially given that we were, for most of our meal, the only patrons in the restaurant. Maybe they were just having an off night. We’ll be back to try them again and I’ll update the review then.

We stopped in for lunch. First guests in, no waiting. Ordered a variety of items. Spicy tuna roll, good flavor. Sesame Chicken appetizer. Dry needed some kind of sauce. 2 item combo, shrimp tempura and beef teriyaki. Tempura crunchy but good. Beef was not as tender as last visit. Hot tempura Soba. Broth was nice. Soft shell crab roll. Roll needed a little more flavor.
Tough location. Parking could be a problem if very busy. Overall, good flavor. Worthy of another visit.

I am so disappointed with Hirosa. I was going there to pick up salmon skin salad at least twice a week and the quality varied; we noticed sometimes it was mostly just FAT and way too much salad..however, I continued to support..until.. I called one day and was told that they were out of salmon skin..? What? To wait a week and try again. So I did and I ordered ( btw I usually ordered 2 salmon skin salads per order)..it was HORRIBLE, almost rotten but not quite. I cannot really describe it..my daughter spat hers out and we threw both salads away..
Sorry to say we will never be ordering salmon skin salad from there again; I may order the udon soup one more time but I hesitate. Overall quality is way down from when I first started to get food from this place. Sadly, I cannot honestly recommend here.
There are one or two really friendly and pleasant staff members but that can’t make up for the poor tasting food.

Decided to give this a try when I was looking for Katsuya’s alternative since they went downhill lately. Aside from the horrible parking and somewhat dodgy area, the food was quite tasty and the price reasonable! This is one of those joints that tells you not to judge a book by its cover.

I stopped by here before my class to grab a quick lunch and it was so clean, the server was super sweet and attentive, and the food was really good. The quality of the food is very high and it’s a family owned business which makes it even better. 12/10
