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.

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!"

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!

Wokcano Valencia is a convenient late-night dining option, open until 2 AM on Saturdays. After a long day at Six Flags Magic Mountain, we appreciated being able to walk in without any wait.
Portions are generous and designed for sharing. The spicy shrimp and spicy garlic chicken were flavorful, though on the heavier side with rich sauces. The Korean short ribs were tender but leaned very sweet. Our daughter enjoyed the chicken dumplings, though our son was not fond of the short ribs.
The dining experience was warm and cozy, with a relaxed vibe that made it easy to enjoy a late-night meal as a family. Service was efficient, and food arrived quickly.
Prices are fair given the portion sizes. The concept of Chinese-inspired Japanese cuisine is delivered well, emphasizing bold flavors and shareable dishes.
A solid choice in Valencia for hearty Asian-inspired food late at night. Generous portions, cozy atmosphere, and fair pricing make Wokcano a dependable go-to after a long day.

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
