Sister Sushi & Grilled — Restaurant in Moorpark

Sister Sushi: Moorpark’s Quiet Masterpiece of Freshness and Craft

Right on the main road in Moorpark, Sister Sushi sits humbly—unassuming, almost easy to miss. But behind that quiet exterior is a place that’s been serving up some of the freshest, most authentic sushi around for years. Not many people know about it, which is honestly surprising considering it’s hiding in plain sight. But maybe that’s part of the magic.

In a town where many sushi spots lean into mayo-heavy rolls and sauce-drenched creations to mask subpar fish, Sister Sushi stands in quiet defiance. Here, the fish is the star. You don’t need to drown it in anything. The sashimi is clean, cold, and sliced with the kind of precision that speaks to experience and respect for the craft. Every bite reminds you what sushi is truly supposed to be—simple, intentional, and deeply satisfying.

The rolls are balanced—not overloaded with toppings or gimmicks. You can actually taste the ingredients: the delicate flavor of the fish, the subtlety of the seasoned rice, the craftsmanship in the build. Nothing is rushed or careless. It’s all done with heart.

And then there’s the vibe—modest, welcoming, and authentic. No trendy decor, no Instagram gimmicks. Just chefs focused on their work, regulars who know what to order without looking at a menu, and a quiet confidence that doesn’t need to show off. It’s the kind of place where you can sit at the counter, watch the knife work, and feel like you’re part of something sacred.

Even though it’s been around for a long time, Sister Sushi still feels like a hidden gem. It’s the kind of spot that locals protect and sushi purists fall in love with. Every time I bring someone new here, they have the same reaction: “How did I not know this was here?” And every time, I smile—because now they do.

So if you’re driving down the main road and craving real, honest sushi—stop at Sister Sushi. Don’t let the simplicity fool you. There’s brilliance behind those doors. And once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why those of us who know it… keep coming back...

I’ve never really been to this place.. today wasn’t my second time. The 1st time I went they got my order wrong.. today was my second time.. I wanted ramen and I had read the reviews they seemed like ok.. and they have 5 stars so I didn’t think it could be bad… I picked up my order once I got home I realized they gave me wrong order AGAIN! Which my fault I should have checked it over while I was at the restaurant.. I had asked for 2 orders of chicken miso ramen.. well they gave me 1 miso the other one was different. One was a creamy white color the other was red. When it was suppose to be 2 of the same orders. I didn’t judge there it was whatvers. But what threw me off was the noodles.. they were cold and stuck together as if they were frozen and they microwave it.. also the chicken was horrible.. it was hard. Overall it was the same for both orders.. really bummed we had toss away our food.. waste of...

This review is long overdue… My apologies to Peter for my procrastination. Our family Came into sistersushi A couple of years back now. We never assumed we could possibly find such excellent quality sushi in a place like more park – no offense to Moorpark. We live in Moorpark.

We used to live on the west side of LA and never have we encountered such high-quality and plentiful amount of excellent sushi and service. Peter and his staff have been extremely friendly and very professional. Peter never lets us down with his excellent preparation and presentation. Thank you so much for many great dinners. We are very picky -please try...
