Best Japanese Restaurants in Tarzana

It was me and my boyfriend’s first time coming here, and we wanted something special for our anniversary and it was a wonderful experience! Everyone was nice but our server was especially very kind and attentive. We got the calamari for an appetizer which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I got the tilapia with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts, and my boyfriend got the shrimp with scallops and mashed potatoes also and we loved it all! Our favorite part was dessert, we got the butter cake and it just melts in your mouth. It was perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

The service was outstanding the guy was very attentive very happy I would most definitely do it again.

Chef Jae was very friendly and welcoming at our omakase experience. There was always a story telling about each item on the menu and the staff was extremely attentive to all patrons. It was the seasoning used for each dish that made it different for me from a traditional omakase and was pleasantly surprised by it. I would definitely suggest people to try it. Park in the back if you can as the front will require payment on the meter if you are there before 8 pm.

Very pricey sushi and they serve one person at a time while the others sit. They need to serve a table as they order. Food is good .

Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
