Okumura Restaurant, Encino CA

Stopped for a quick lunch on our way up the 101, great little place, quality sushi, fast service!

Been here a few times and dissatisfied every time. The service was bad, food didn't taste good, and whenever they make a mistake on any order, instead of fixing the problem, they choose to argue instead. While every other sushi place is packed at 7pm, they are empty which says alotm They also charge $3 per roll to cut it for you. I have been eating sushi for over 35 years and never been charged to get my sushi "cut" into pieces. Never ever going here again even if they are the last sushi place in the world

If you’re looking for a fresh, authentic, local sushi place to dine in or takeout, this is the place to go! The seafood is always fresh and prepared well, would recommend getting the miso and shishito peppers for appetizer. The house salad is very yummy too. They have a wide variety of Japanese beer and saki. Great service and welcoming staff.

Okumura has always been one of my favorite restaurants. I first ate there when it was still the owner chef and his wife attending to customers. The food is great and well thought out. We always have the salmon skin salad and the surprise we had was with the amberjack carpaccio. I will order that again.

We took my brother and sister in law to try this little place. Everything was great my husband loves yellowtail Hamachi, I love Tempura, my brother wanted teriyaki chicken and my sis in law had several types of sushi. Plus miso soup.
Everything was fresh and delicious.

Wonderful staff and service. Wide selection of sushi and they are more than willing to accommodate any requests. Great value too. Highly reccomend.

Just remodeled, very pretty. Food is excellent, service is spot on, not overly solicitous. Excellent sushi, Tuna carpaccio is a must.

The quality of the sushi & sashimi at Okumura is top notch - the menu is not for the novice to such things though, so you may need some guidance from your waiter or an idea of what you like already when going in.

That said - we know what we like!
The hokkaido scallops made for fantastic sashimi, with a bit of truffle accenting the flavor.
Albacore belly and Salmon belly were both fatty, delicious cuts of typically available fish that made excellent sushi.

Whereas most restaurants offer an endless list of rolls, or dinner combinations that take the guesswork out of "what do I get? ", Okumura presents a list of fish with sushi or sashimi serving size options and not much else. I recommend a little research before going in, or remembering an order from a previous meal, for the easiest time dining here.

The place was clean, the service was great, the staff was respectful. The decor was simple.

The sushi was great. I order the hot sake as well and it was a decent quality, the server was super helpful in recommending rolls and was really attentive. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants really good atmosphere and food.

Certainly a place worth stopping by, the food is fantastic and fresh, the prices are convenient and it is constantly well organized there. Kudos.

The staff was very friendly. Sushi was fantastic! Tap beer would have been better.otherwise it was perfect!

Solid sushi, friendly staff, has trainer chop sticks/plates/cups for those with kids. The hot sake is pretty good as well (I don't know much about it so happy that what they carry is solid (we got the premium since the price difference was minimal).

Yum, yum, & yum! I had such a pleasant experience here on a Friday night with my bf. Being a extreme sushi fanatic, I was glad to be able to dine out, while chewing on great quality fish. The snapper sushi was our favorite, but the yellowtail carpaccio sashimi was also delicious with the yuzu ponzu, and the salmon special sashimi with the truffle! Who am I kidding, everything was amazing! The servers were also very friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back very soon!

I absolutely loved their food and service, fantastic area to my home. The workers are always very welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

Seafood is fresh, the main event, and without being overly dressed with frills. The service is excellent and the prices are appropriate. It's worth one's time to visit

Great service. Food was fresh. Only bad thing is patrons smoking in the cigar shop right next door infiltrating the outdoor dining space.

The most amazing food. Excellent service and friendly staff. There were 6 if us and we had about 15 different rolls. The garlic edamame was to die for. I suggest you eat here.your tastebuds will be happy you did!

My husband and I have been there several times and food is always great. I would give the restaurant 5 starts if staff was more welcoming. If you go for the food you will not be disappointed!

Food was definitely amazing! However, my experience was ruined by people who chose to dine there in their sweat drenched gym clothes! The smell of the sweat ruined the amazing food experience. There should be some rule that prohibits sweaty gym clothes people from dining there just as cell phone use is strongly discouraged and even prohibited at the sugarfish locations.
