At this hip little Japanese bistro tucked next to Target, sultry mood lighting makes you forget you're actually in a mall. Sleek dinnerware, black cloth napkins and elegantly presented sushi only add to the stylish experience. Shoppers from Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom join sushi-savvy Valley locals drawn in by sophisticated cocktails and an expansive Japanese menu--definitely eschewing a run of the mill vibe. Starters like albacore tataki, rainbow carpaccio with yuzu and lobster miso soup complement traditonal classics like agedashi tofu and scallop dynamite; creative rolls include the popcorn…

Pretty Good

I have had sushi in many different restaurants. But I thought that this place deserves special notice.
The nice thing about their menu is that they have a wide variety of items, even for people who don't particularly like raw fish.
Their spider roll is incredible. I get it every time I go there. I even took my mom here. She's never had sushi before, and she liked the place. I took both my bridesmaids here for lunch, both of which love sushi. And they both said that the fish quality excellent and that the portions are nice for the price.
- Pros: Fresh Fish, Something for everyone
- Cons: They don't serve coke, only Pepsi
Unfresh Fish

I should have read the Yelp reviews before going here because somebody said they found a worm in their edamame. I believe it because I had a really bad case of food poysoning within hours after the restaurant. I hope I can save somebody else from getting sick also. Thanks.
- Pros: Recommend to people you don't like
- Cons: Food poysoning
I loved it!

My boyfriend and I loved this restaurant. The food was good and the prices were great! We will be returning! =)
- Pros: Good food, Good prices
Good food. Great happy hour. So-so service.

They need to realize that they would do better by treating their non-chef staff better and keeping one or two bartenders for a long time as folks who chill out at the bar and come for happy hour like to have the same bartender. Lately changing staff too frequently. However, we love their happy hour M-F 4-7pm (see you then and there) and love their sushi. Have not tried entrees yet. Decent cocktails. Lots of variety of sake. Try the specialty sushi rolls (not discounted during happy hour). Love their Spicy Tuna rolls and Seared Tuna Sashimi and Baked Lobster & Maki Rolls. Enjoy!!! :)
- Pros: Great Sushi. Awesome Happy Hour M-F 4-7.
- Cons: So-so service (high turnover of staff, bartender).
HORRIBLE!~

have gone to this place for a year and in the beginning it was great. The sushi IS BAD! REALLY LOW QUALITY FISH! The staff is rude and they don't seem to care. It was a special night tonight for my husband and I so we thought we would try this place one more time. We get there and they gave away our reservation, the girl was snotty and thinking she was so funny made her snide comments and either the manager or the owner just kept saying sorry and did nothing to correct the service. We ended up going to BANZAI in CALABASAS, they had a nice table waiting for us and the sushi is 10 times better and in a nicer location. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AT BISTRO KA THEY SERVE BAD SUSHI!
