I've followed Jay, the owner and head sushi chef, for years simply because his sushi is excellent. His new establishment, Makitto, is small but comfortable, and it pains me little to make the drive across town knowing that his sushi is the destination. He's very particular about the fish he orders (i.e., making sure that certain species come from specific regions) and is happy to make recommendations or create something special for you if you feel like trying something new and different.
Their customer service has been excellent, even in these early days, as the staff has always been genuinely friendly and very attentive. On the weekends, I'd recommend arriving as early as possible as they're likely to fill up quickly although I doubt a wait would be very long (as others have noted, its located right next to the Cinemark 16 movie theater, so it's a great place for date night!).
Makitto is quaint, clean, comfortable, and the kind of place that one goes to when the priority is really great sushi. I could make no greater recommendation - I just cannot think of any sushi restaurant in the Valley where the quality and presentation compares. Highly recommended!
