Okay, I popped into this place just before I left LA to temporarily relocate to NYC. I had just seen “One Love” - which I highly recommend seeing - and decided to extend my self-date into dinner. O’ and what a tremendous treat it was!For any future million-dollar trivia question, I love sushi like Kel loves orange soda - a special shoutout to those who understand the reference - okay? Suffice it to say, I was fully prepared to go the distance and indulge to my heart’s delight I’m worthy and deserving. But I digress.First I had a HOT SAKE along with the APPETIZER SPECIAL: RED SNAPPER. Topped with Tobiko, Yuzu Citrus, Red Onion & Herb. The flavors blended so well and the slight tang of the yuzu citrus pleasantly complimented the bold taste of the red snapper. Then I had the OCTOPUS SALAD, which accidentally ended up being the Cucumber Salad topped with the Octopus. I didn’t mind at all because it all paired very well, the cucumber marinated in rice vinegar.The big order was the OCTOPUS CHEF’S SPECIAL PLATE, which came with Sashimi, Sushi, a Spicy Tuna Hand Roll and Roe Bowl. It was SO DELICIOUS and SO FILLING, I really tried to finish it all. Alas, I had to bow out and humbly accept where I ended before total defeat. I didn’t even get to order desert! Next time…Speaking of next time, if you happen to be in the area and pop in, tell them that Donny recommended. When I’m back in LA and I happen to scurry over there myself, be sure to say heylo and let me know what you’re having. ?

Octopus has been a staple of mine for years. I absolutely love this restaurant and all of its newest additions. There was no wait time at all when we arrived. The servers quickly took our drink orders and they arrived no more than 5 mins. After we placed an order of six food items. It came out less than 25 mins. The servers made sure our waters were always refilled and checked in frequently to ask if we need anything else. Their service and food quality is amazing.With that being said here are the rolls we ate that came out delicious: Rainbow roll, Oh yeah baby roll, Alaskan roll (must have), Red Dragon, Broiled mussels on half shell, and crispy squid legs. As someone who has came here for years. I noticed a change in portion size for the crispy squid legs. I definitely miss the generous amount that used to be given but nonetheless still delicious. So a lot has changed within the years but they have managed to keep the food quality the same if not better!

Once.a go to hang out. Food fresh and tasty, but since Covid the food inconsistent, and the continued lack of refinement of the slices of cut sushi and over fried squid have me long for the days of good, great masters of Japanese food; especially sushi..... Yes even "Sugar Fish" have me wondering what have gone awry in the food scene... Have the culinary communities before me so out of touch with good tasting food. Gosh, stop guying food...

Observed the wait staff to be so rude to a delivery driver that I will never be in their restaurant again. There is no need to belittle people who are helping your business deliver your food! Shameful behavior! Noted No reply from owner

The late night happy hour is elite. Ending the night after a film at AMC with some delicious sushi and super friendly service? Yes. My new go to spot in a Burbank.
