Q Sushi — Restaurant in Westlake Village

As soon as you walk through the doors, you can see, hear, and smell the love that goes into this restaurant. It is clear the restaurant is a labor of love. The dishes have stories behind them that enhance the entire dining experience. The servers put in just as much care to bringing your food to the table as the chefs do when putting the food on your plate. The drinks we were recommended by our server and paired perfectly with the meal. I have had a lot of good (and bad) sushi throughout my years on this planet and I can honestly say that I have never tasted better sushi anywhere else. I highly recommend Q Sushi. It’s been a few weeks and my wife and I can’t stop thinking about our meal and the next time we go. We have since raced to our friends and family and those who listened, tried Q Sushi for themselves and were just as delighted with their dining experience as well. 11 out of 10 (because 11 is one...

[Im leaving my original review below for "historic" purposes but thought I'd update: The bartender, Eric, has left Q. Im not impressed with replacements. Their mixing is fine, but lacking Eric's personality and finesse. Also, the Happy Hour menu has become much less attractive: same items, less care and quality. Also, clientelle has become more snobby - not the restaurant's fault but nevertheless - reeks of entitlement].

The Cucumber Seji Smash is PERFECT for a hot summer day, the Scorched Orange is AWESOME for the colder months, and this pictured here, is his artisan creation, the Desert Rose (between salmon sashimi and nigori saki - love the traditional earthenware...

I feel extremely disappointed. Sushi and Rolls quality of fish meat was simply not up to par of what is expected. I would say the fish meat I ate is barely above supermarket quality fish meat, which would not be considered Sushi quality at all. None of the rolls were very innovative. There was zero wow factor throughout the entire meal. I’m sorry I would only give this restaurant a D+ grade. The reason why it doesn’t get a C grade is because the price is already quite high and I would’ve expected it to be higher quality ingredients and the restaurant service was very very bad. Forgetful and food was brought in random sequences, appetizers came last after everything and the random servers that brought the food was not “our” server so hence they cannot get anything we need but we have to ask for the randoms to go call “our” server. Lol oh and many parts of the restaurant are...
