50 Best Sushi Bars near Bell

“The food is delicious!!! The broth for the beef ramen is so flavorful and the gyoza are perfectly cooked! The drinks and water are refreshing. The service is great! Very kind and polite. As a anime watcher, I love the atmosphere, the lights and anime posters with the music make it very enjoyable to be there.“

“Todos los servicios excelentes todos los muchachos al pendiente de los clientes“

“Easy 5 stars. Genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, and I loved that the dishes weren’t overloaded with sauces or unnecessary toppings, the quality of the fish really spoke for itself.

The salmon was buttery and melted in your mouth, the eel was warm, rich and perfectly glazed, and even the cucumber salad was ridiculously good. And if you go, definitely try the fatty tuna, highly recommend it!

This is one of those places that makes it hard to enjoy average sushi afterward. 😂 Already looking forward to going back.“

“Fresh fish and impressive knife skills from the chef. Sitting at the counter and watching the precision, technique, and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Every piece was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommend.“

“This place is so good I went twice in the same week! Every piece was so perfect and it was the perfect amount of food. Of all the places I've been for omakase in LA I'd say this is the best bang for your buck especially if you go for lunch during the weekdays. You won't be disappointed. It's located in Weller Court and many folks go to sushi gen and other spots but this place is so fresh and the service is wonderful. Also very quiet inside.“

“my friend and I stopped at this cute lil sushi spot because we wanted a more intimate vibe than a full on restaurant. it was quaint and cozy and the sushi was absolutely AMAZING!!! Vivian and her husband were the absolute sweetest couple that treated us like long time friends. we had fantastic conversation and it is clear that they both are extremely passionate about what they do. i’m so grateful we visited during our time in LA. we will SO be back !!!! 😊😊“

“Exceptional food! Hamachi collar, red snapper soup! And sushi. Authentic; which is why it was so good!“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was delicious. However, the service was disappointing. Our server was condescending and repeatedly interrupted our moment by crossing between us without a word. When I asked about drinks, she was short and even gave inaccurate descriptions. This is my second visit, and both times with the same server have left a sour taste. I hope the service improves because the food deserves better! This is my second visit, and both times with the same brunette server, whose attitude left a sour taste.“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“Qauint and charming sushi place. Reaonably priced for fresh sashimi and sushi dishes. Very pleasantly surprised w the freshness of the seafood!
Service was attentive and sweet even when it got busy.
Definitely a repeat customer!“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“I went to lunch with a friends for lunch, and all the ingredients and food were fresh and delicious. I loved that the staff were kind. Japanese people are making authentic Japanese food in Koreatown, and I hope this hidden spot knowing more people.“

“First time coming here.. First impression was very good, the staff was very friendly and they give me good recommendation and the place is clean, a very pleasant environment. The food is very delicious and the flavors are very rich, I really recommend you here.“

“They have the best rolls! Very reasonable price. We eat here & to go very often“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“We were greeted at the door, and given complimentary miso soup with our order. We got six different Yubu (buy five get one free). They were FANTASTIC. The torched salmon was a little overcooked, so it was a little fishy, but overall they were very good. Bulgogi and King Yubu were overall favorites.“

“Very tasty and super friendly staff! We eneded up going with all recommendations from our waitress. Sweet potato and the Aburi Salmon were stand out but everything was delish. Their “margarita” sake cocktail was also really good.“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“Been here many times before, mostly weekdays during lunch hours, never knew they get so busy on weekends. But lines moved quickly, plenty of various prepared takeout sushis in the cold storage areas. Regular customers often recommend food items to try for newbies. Overall, a pleasant place for fresh sushis.“

“Waka Sakura sushi fun, food order slides down conveyor belt. Saturday 3p wait at 25 minutes much better than original 1 hour forecast. Nigiri combo plates good to compare tastes. Hand rolls on menu, no need to special order. Wide ranging menu, sushi classics and more.“

“I found Temaki Society after the iHeart R&B concert because it happened to be nearby, and the concept looked different enough that we decided to stop in. It's located inside The Grayson, so at first it feels like you're walking into a bar, but the temaki counter is right in the front.

The ordering process is easy. You seat yourself, grab your own water, and they bring the food out. One thing I really like is that each hand roll comes with the plastic separator that keeps the seaweed crisp until you're ready to eat it.

The first time I came, we ordered a set of five so we could try a variety. This most recent visit, I came back specifically for the Cut with caviar, uni, and toro. Definitely on the pricey side, but look at the quality they give you. It was delicious.

The staff has always been nice, service is quick, and you toss your wrappers into the little trash bins at your seat. If you want good hand rolls Downtown and something different from the usual Grand Central Market stops, I'm a fan. I'd definitely come back.“

“I've visited this restaurant four times now, and the experience has consistently been great. The food and service quality are excellent, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. When one of us mentioned not eating raw fish, they prepared several complimentary cooked dishes to ensure we left satisfied. While I have noticed that portion sizes seem slightly smaller than before, I still left feeling full. The kaiseki and shabu are must-tries, and I am already looking forward to returning for their sukiyaki.“

“second time back since Sept 2023 ~
5/5 from start to finish. incredible execution of seasonal fish that you can’t really find anywhere else. impeccable hospitality from once you enter the room & your experience. chef daniel is truly one of the best in the city, will always be back :)“

“best japanese rich fllavors unique taste simple fresh and delish“

“I loved everything I ate (spicy tuna roll and chutoro being my favorites). Everyone working there was so friendly and accommodating!! Shoutout Han at the bar who really just understood me -- every cocktail was delicious. I will 100% be back and recommend to friends.“

“This place is a secret Gem, I believe this was my third time stopping by and I have to say, it never disappoints. They are currently offering a BOGO deal on their Premium Rolls (Buy one get the second one 50% off).
I got the Philly Roll and the Party Rock roll, both were delicious!
Ingredients felt high quality and very fresh.“

“Except for the location of the restaurant, which is not easy to find, and a little too much sushi rice, everything else is perfect.“

““Oh wow” the first words that I could come up with when my wife asked me how the food was.
We ordered: Japanese ceviche, Y-not roll, Salmon roll, California roll, yellowtail sushi and halibut sushi.
Everything was absolutely fantastic, fresh and full of flavor.
I highly recommend the yellowtail sushi if you want raw sushi
I recommend the y-not roll if you want a specialty roll, it is a little spicy so beware.
If you want to try something new we recommend the Japanese ceviche, it has the perfect mix of sweet and salty.
Overall you could tell the fish are fresh and not old mush, and even the plating of every dish was admirable.
The service is also fantastic, we were checked on regularly by our servers, had all of our questions answered and even got solid recommendations.
This place is definitely worth traveling for, decent prices too!“

“It was amazing to experience Chef Sago’s delicious and truly artistic meal. My husband and I have eaten so much omakase throughout the years but for some reason every dish we tried here was absolutely something new with ingredients we never knew could be combined. He literally blew our minds away. If you visit his website, his “about” is true to the T. Thank you very much Chef for letting us hop on your journey of culinary excellence for a night and truly have an unforgettable evening. It was beautiful and tantalizing to our taste buds! We will be back and looking forward to our next experience!“

“One of the best sushi I’ve had in Southern California, small place not fancy at all but it is a recommended experience must try.“

“I got in pretty much as soon as they open, so I got the special opportunity to get to talk to Kristine. After a lovely conversation and delicious food, I left feeling so full and at peace. The tempura was crispy and airy, the rice was perfectly cooked, the fish in the sushi tasted fresh. I cannot recommend visiting here enough. I am sure it can get busy, as the place is small, but I think that is part of its charm: meeting with a group of strangers for a good meal and a moment of peace before heading back into the world.“

“A Michelin recognized restaurant that’s just perfect for a quiet evening. The atmosphere is chill and the playlist vey ear pleasing and well as the decor. Modern style design that’s chic and comfortable at the same time. We ordered the Wagyu Cheeseburger and Uni Pasta. Both of the dishes were good with flavor but the Uni pasta could’ve used a little more sauce but it’s a preference I guess. The cheeseburger came out looking like a hot mess but it delivered with flavor. The Basqu Cheesecake was the dessert we ordered and it was perfect with flavor and the presentation. Service was attentive and on point most of the time. So if you’re looking for a nice place to have a delicious bite or drinks then definitely check out this place, especially the gorgeous looking bar.“

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The chef - Tony is his name, I believe - is one of those rare dedicated and obsessed perfectionists who make every meal an occasion. Koreatown is a neighborhood with no shortage of great restaurants; this simple establishment is one of the best.“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“a minimal seating and parking area; but amazing service, great atmosphere, and top-notch food! Sushi, soups, bento boxes, you name it! everything is fresh and made to order. I love this gem of a restaurant.

Parking: parking is limited due to it being in a small center.“

“Unsure initially but after reading reviews convince to visit and after ordering fully engulfed! I had the Red Dragon Roll, loved it! My son had the crunchy roll. And then I tried the beef bowl. Delicious. Vert flavorful. And the best part about this spot is that it’s not in the crowed Dtla area. It’s on Cesar Chavez and with plenty of street meter parking. Very manageable. I will be back.“

“I recently had the chance to dine at Sama Handroll in the Arts District, and it exceeded my expectations. The quality and freshness of the fish were outstanding, and every hand roll was prepared with great attention to detail. The menu offers a creative mix of traditional Japanese flavors and unique dishes that set it apart from other sushi spots.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and perfect for either a casual dinner or a night out with friends.
A few standout items were the hand rolls, grilled dishes, and the excellent presentation throughout the meal. It's clear that a lot of care goes into both the food and the guest experience.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality sushi and hand rolls in Los Angeles. I'll definitely be back.“

“Yoooo! If aint had their Cali rolls youre missing out on life. These are THE BEST cali rolls I've had. Sakae Sushi Cali rolls big and the flavor is thru the roof. You dont need to add anything lol maybe a little wasabi but thats it. Its very old school sushi please GO!!!“

“Great food and the people in the restaurant where accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Will definitely come back!“

“Friendly, clean, fast, and oh so good...
They made the inside look like the outside, im guessing thats what restaurants are doing now....
I took my 2 year old with us for dinner and she enjoyed the teriyaki bowl and calamari.“

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!“

“This place is SOOO GOOD!! My friend and I got the spicy tuna and California rolls to split. They come with 12 pieces each and theyre such a good size. We also got the spam musubi and its DELICIOUS! So flavorful and the staff were very very lovely. I recommend ordering before you get there, so the staff have enough time to put love and care into your meal!!! :] I highly recommend this place!!! 😋“

“so far everything I've tried has been delicious!“

“Ive been eating here since it opened. The sushi is always fresh tasting. Great portions for the price. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Fast service I will definitely recommend Sushi n go!“

“Finding an authentic sushi spot in the US run by a Japanese chef feels increasingly rare these days. While I don't believe a chef's nationality strictly dictates their capability—by that logic, only French people could cook French food—the scarcity of these traditional spots made me search even harder. That extra effort led me to Toshi Sushi in Gardena, and it was entirely worth it.

I have visited twice now, both times for Saturday lunch. A huge plus was that it wasn’t overwhelmingly busy, allowing for a remarkably peaceful and relaxed dining experience. On both occasions, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and every plate felt meticulously prepared. They even garnish the dishes with beautiful Hawaiian flowers, which the staff thoughtfully let us know are completely edible.

Sometimes, hyper-traditional spots can be a bit too conservative with their portions of wasabi and ginger, but Toshi Sushi provides a generous amount. It’s a smart, necessary adjustment to cater to the American palate, and it made the meal much more enjoyable without the need to constantly ask for refills.

However, the exact moment I knew this place truly cared about quality came down to a single, overlooked detail: the soy sauce. Real soy sauce should always be refrigerated to preserve its true flavor profile, yet countless sushi joints leave it sitting out on tables at room temperature for weeks, simply topping off the bottles. At Toshi Sushi, the second we placed our order, they brought out a chilled bottle of soy sauce straight from the fridge. Absolute respect. That standard alone speaks volumes about their discipline.

I will definitely be heading back soon, and I'm already planning to feature this hidden gem in an upcoming review video. If you appreciate genuine quality and strict attention to detail, Toshi Sushi is highly recommended.“

“Quality fresh sushi, creative to. I wish they deliver to Santa Monica , but I will pick up :)“

“Great service, friendly staff and the owner, Paul, showed warm hospitality. The prices were great and the quality of the food will definitely have me going back!“
