I love this place! They have great drinks and food and are open late. I’m a vegetarian and there are many options to choose from. I’m not an Asian food expert but I really love the food and the atmosphere is always chill. They also have a great happy hour. It’s my got to place for something a little fancy and still reasonable. Hope you enjoy it too!

Nice, higher end Asian restaurant located at the mall. We went and made it for Happy Hour which had decent priced appetizers. We did not drink any alcohol but the bar looked good. Would be a good place to come for a drink and appetizers. We ordered an order of eggrolls (but they brought us 2 which was our fault in how we ordered) and an order of steamed dumplings. Both were very good! For the main meal, we ordered Lemon Chicken and brown rice. We also optioned for the addition of soup and salad for an additional $6. Hubby ate the soup while I had the salad. Both were very good. The main dish portion was huge and, even with sharing the main dish, we had leftovers. For me, I found the Lemon Chicken dry even with the sauce. I would have preferred a more traditional chinese dish with veggies but, based on the menu, options were limited for a dish with veggies. We probably should have ordered a veggie dish and maybe added chicken. Would I go again. I don't think I would go for the full meal but I would consider going for Happy Hour. Drinks and a few apps would be good and not as pricey!

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Got the mongolian beef and the double kung pao. Everything was tender and delicious! Prices and portions on the lunch specials are very good!

I love this place. I normally get the same thing when here, which is the love boat for two. It comes with a salad & miso soup for both/ each. They are both really good 👍 They have half good as well, which is also great. The parking is a bit difficult but mostly not a problem. It is outside the mall, so it's easy to find/ noticeable. The place is clean and the service is good. Everything here is good it's fresh, it doesn't smell or taste weird as some sushi places do.

Wokcano has a special place in our hearts because when we got married 100 million years ago we had our rehearsal dinner at the Pasadena location. They were very nice to us they provided vegetarian options which weren't on the menu, and we loved it. As a long time has gone by and we were excited to see that there was a location here in the Santa Clarita Valley where we moved recently. The menu is similar to what we remember but there are more vegetarian options available to order which excited us because we're vegetarians. Everything we ordered was delicious! (With the exception of the Dragon's Breath Cocktail.) My wife and I shared the Orange Crispy Tofu, the Vegan Kung Pao Chicken, and the fried rice. It was a little strange ordering the fried rice as they have a few variations on the menu we wanna just the basic one and we had to convince the waitress that it actually existed by showing it to her on the menu. But it was cleared up quickly and we got what we ordered. The Orange crispy tofu was delicious and reminded us easily of that dish made with chicken when we used to eat meat. The vegan Vegan Kung Pao Chicken was really delicious, with the caveat that the soy chicken was actually a little undercooked… This was surprising as typically at non-vegetarian restaurants you find that the faux-meat options are often over-cooked. This dish would've been absolutely perfect had the faux-chicken been cooked a little bit longer. The basic fried rice was also really tasty and we didn't feel the need to have ordered one of the other variations of it to get a really nice tasting rice dish. Portions were also generous so we had plenty to take home and eat for meals the next day. The Dragon's Breath Cocktail was disappointing. It wasn't particularly well mixed and the only flavor I really got out of it was the alcohol which isn't really what I want when I'm spending a lot of money on a cocktail. That having been said those vegetarian dishes were delicious and we would definitely come back to have them again and try other things. There's a full sushi bar and many other fine beverages to try. Nice Job Wokcano!

As long as you know you’re not coming here for authentic Asian food, it’s not a bad place for a nicer meal. All the dishes we had were good, but not amazing. The fried Brussels sprouts could really use a dipping sauce. Our server was nice and professional. Price for value isn’t great, so I really hope they’re paying their employees well.

My wife and I came here last night to grab dinner, Wokcano is one of my favorite place to go eat at but I haven't been to one in a while and it was my first time at this location. We also brought our baby daughter with us. It didn't take long for us to get seated near the sushi chef area. Our waitress was Natalie and she came to get our drinks and appetizers orders first. We just got soda and my wife wanted her spicy garlic edamame. She brought our drink and edamame quick. My wife ordered the Salmon and made it into a dinner meal so it would come with miso soup, salad and brown rice. I got the Mongolian beef and asked for Jasmine rice. Our food took some time to come out, the miso soup and salad came out quick. My wife like the soup but not the salad, I tried it too and they just drenched it with dressing so not good. This was when Natalie went to refill my wife drink and when she came back, it didn't taste like a coke. I tooked multiple attempts to flag her down and she didn't believe me at first that the coke tasted weird. So she didn't even take it and said she'll bring a new one and I also asked for a refill on mine. She came back and said the people in the back is replacing the coke tank since it's emptied. My Mongolian beef was delicious and they were generous with the portion. I loved my dish, my wife salmon also came out but she didn't really like. Natalie came back with just one coke but forgot my refill. The coke she brought was flat so not good. We decided to not even bother anymore. She disappeared again until I flagged her down with another waiter to asked for the check and boxes. The customer service here was bad and where they sat us, was smokey from the sushi chef area.

We came tonight because there was a wait at lazy dog, but I wish we got food to go. The food was good. Pretty pricey. But holy moly. Ive never been to such a loud restaurant. It was like being in an elementary school cafeteria. We couldn't hear each other talk without yelling. My husband said the other side of the restaurant was better but this giant room with all the tables...so loud. Don't think I'll come back on a weekend.

Saturday night roughly around 8 PM. My son and I were seated promptly. Not much of a crowd/packed night. It was pretty empty. Minus the bar area. We waited for quite some time for our waiter. We ordered our drinks, appetizer, and main dishes. My ginger mule wasn’t served properly. See picture. Food was ok. But once again the poor experience comes from staff. Lack of attention to detail and lack of service. I will not go back to the Valencia location.

Arizona Gas Station Sushi location of a chain— “Safe, Generic SCV Sushi”… until it tried to kill us I genuinely thought this place was going to be the definition of safe, cookie-cutter, “nothing special but fine” sushi. I used to come here all the time.I loved it! I was wrong. We paid the price. In every way imaginable. The Roll That Started the Apocalypse My daughter (7) had a Philadelphia roll last night. You know — the sushi equivalent of ordering toast. It’s basic. It’s supposed to be foolproof. She kept saying she wasn’t into it and I did the classic parent move: > “She’s just being picky.” She’s not picky. She’s perceptive. When she was almost done, I tried it and it was BAD. Not “meh” bad. Not “kinda warm” bad. Spoiled bad. Like “this fish is auditioning for a true crime documentary” bad. I tried to talk to the manager because, minor detail, this isn’t safe to serve to human beings. He removed the Philadelphia roll from my bill and hit me with: “Have a great night.” Sir… I’m not here for a coupon. I’m here because you’re serving people spoiled salmon. He brushed it off. On my way out, an employee asked if everything was okay. I said: “No — I think I just ate bad salmon. This is definitely less than I expected.” And he goes: “People say that sometimes, and then they cycle the food out and it gets better.” EXCUSE ME? So this is… a known issue? Like a seasonal menu item? Back at Home: The Sequel Nobody Wanted My 7-year-old is puking her guts out I’ve already vomited once from just tasting it I called the location. They took my name and number… and I haven’t heard anything back. Then they tell me: They tasted it “Some people have issues” The manager thought it was “just fine.” So either: 1. the manager is used to substandard sushi, he has an iron stomach, or his taste buds have already filed for divorce. The Sticky Sushi Bar of Doom Also, if you sit at the sushi bar, you’ll be seated at a slab of sticky wood that apparently should’ve been varnished about five years ago.(Manager's words, not mine.) It’s sticky no matter how much you clean it, according to the explanation I got. So you’re not just eating questionable sushi — you’re doing it on a table that feels like it’s been lightly coated in soda and regret since 2019. Takeout? Only If You Like Waiting as a Lifestyle Four guys behind a sushi bar, watching soccer and hanging out, while the place is a ghost town, is not a reason for a 15m wait. It’s overpriced and underdelivered, and the service has been consistently rough: You’d think slicing a tuna roll to-go would not require a committee meeting and a halftime show Another time, a host sat me… and I waited 15 minutes with no server ever coming by, so I just left. To be fair: the place looks nice inside (because it’s a chain). It used to feel like safe, generic SCV sushi. Not anymore. Not for me. Final Ratings Manager: dismissive Servers: puts the “wait” in waiters Hosts: sweet, easygoing, and seemingly unaware they work in a sweatshop cafeteria, disguised as a restaurant Bottom Line If you’re into: spoiled salmon roulette, sticky sushi bars, and service that moves at the speed of continental drift …then hey, maybe this is your spot. For my family? For friends? We're good. For my Enemies: "You guys gotta check this place out! It's just as awesome as it has always been!"

We ordered to go and once again despite asking they didn't fill the boxes. The salad was literally almost entirely chips and a few pieces of dead lettuce. Drove from an hour away to pick up dinner for date night and they absolutely did not deliver. Bummer because we're regular customers and come to eat in person all the time.

Yes, it looks good, but we got food poisoning. This is not the first time I was here. This time, we got there a lil late and were told that the kitchen was closed. It was past 10:10p.m., and the only option we had was sushi or open bar. Cooked lobster/ crab roll wasn't bad. Sashimi, I'd say, was at 3.6⭐️ tastewise & quality of fish; however, we both got food poisoning, and we think it was sashimi. My friend was gonna end up at the hospital if not for throwing everything up! Long story short; I'd advise the owner/s to skip/ discontinue serving raw sushi at all and just stick with their other menu. Thx
