Asian Restaurants near Culver City

“I chased the Bang Bang Noodles pop‑up in Highland Park—they serve hand‑pulled noodles that are fresh and chewy. My bowl of spicy dan dan noodles had great chili heat and sesame flavor. Locals rave, saying it’s among the best fresh noodles in LA. The vibe was simple and friendly, like a neighborhood secret. Worth following their pop‑up Instagram“

“Came in during the lunch rush and it was pretty fast! Friendly staff! Giving 4 starts because it’s only a small size and other places have two. Also; I agree with other reviews about asking for double sauces! Other than that; pretty good!“

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“Really amazing and very good food. I was a table of one and was able to sit down within 15 minutes compared to usual hour long wait.

I got the HK style french toast, very sweet and more of a dessert but it was amazing nonetheless. Second item i got was the cold sesame noodle (no chicken) and i’ve never had this amazing dish before and it was life changingly good.

Funny story but they threw away my food while i was in the bathroom for two minutes but they apologized and gave me a free meal to go and pastry. I didn’t care that much but happy they fixed an error!

Will come back again def“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“Located in K-Town, I’ve been hearing a lot about this spot that specializes in yubu (inari) sushi — rice stuffed in a sweet tofu wrap with different toppings. I came pretty close to opening time on a Saturday, and it was already busy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day.

I ordered the spicy salmon, lemon salmon, torched salmon, mentaiko crab, king yubu, and spicy tuna. They were all pretty good, but my favorites were the lemon salmon and torched salmon. The lemon really helped cut through the sweetness and richness of the yubu, and the torched salmon had a nice toasty flavor that made it stand out.

The pieces are decently sized and come packed with toppings, but they run about $6 to $10 each, so you’d probably need three or four to feel full. I like the concept and presentation, but the yubu itself does get a little too sweet after a while. Still, I’d definitely come back for a quick snack or to grab a few for a picnic or road trip.“

“Over the past year Lokal has been my absolutely favorite place in LA. If you’re a Venice/ Santa Monica or even marina del ray or Culver City local you have to start regularly coming here.

Not once have I had a bad dish or a bad guest experience. The staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food and bevvies are super consistent and have not had one miss on this menu.

Whether it’s an on the go AM coffee, a small lunch burger to refuel me or a cozy dinner sandwich to wrap up my day. This place has been the spot.

The prices are extremely reasonably ( if not the most reasonable in West LA) and again, can’t emphasize the overall consistency enough. Love ya lokal!!“

“TRULY SOME OF THE BEST SUSHI IN LA!!!! I was amazed when everything came out beautiful, fresh, tasty, creative, and utterly perfect. This place is a gem and I look forward to going back. Definitely the prices are appropriate for the quality of fish and level of food/service they provide here. Everything was fantastic. They should be very proud of their restaurant! I know I would be. Well done, Hanabi Sushi! I will definitely be coming back and often!“

“Amazing poke bowl (repeat order) with fresh salmon and/or tuna, avocado, seaweed salad, kani salad, cucumbers, ginger and wasabi on sushi rice- like a monstrous sushi roll! The lady taking the counter orders is cheery, friendly and has a good time remembering the orders of regular customers :) While the ambiance is bare bones for dine-in, the food and service is really what you come for.“

“My first time there and I had a really great time, the food was delicious and our Servers were Amazing. Loved it!!“

“Andreas Super helpful and knowledgeable about all the foods on the menu the chef always hook it up fresh. Oh my God, cucumber salad stuff. It’s unbelievable delicious number of sauces. You can choose from really affordable and large portions. You have to try this place multiple different choices. Trust me you will not be disappointed.“

“The sushi was on point. I had a caterpillar roll. The ingredients were fresh and I was full from the size of the roll! Also, it was quite a deal too as I had dinner on a Wednesday. Currently, Monday through Friday the restaurant is offering 20% off.“

“I had passed by Seoul Bistro a few times but never went in because I wasn’t familiar with Korean food. I’m glad I finally did because this place completely changed my mind. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the staff made the whole experience easy and welcoming.

We ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, rose ddukbokki (the cheesy pasta dish I had seen on Instagram/TikTok), and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. All three were excellent. The bulgogi was tender and well seasoned, the cheesy ddukbokki was creamy, rich, and addictive, and the chicken had a great crunch with just the right amount of heat. They even give you gloves to handle it, which was a fun touch. Portion sizes are generous and perfect for sharing, we left with leftovers.

The atmosphere was relaxed with Korean music in the background, and there’s a call button at the table for service, which was really convenient. It seems to be very popular for takeout too, since I noticed a steady stream of delivery drivers picking up orders. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions, and while they do add gratuity for dine-in, I thought it was fair given the service.

Overall, Seoul Bistro is a gem in Studio City. It’s approachable even if you’re new to Korean food, and the flavors really deliver. The 4.6 rating is well deserved, and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“My very first time at Jinya Ramen Bar in Studio City and everything was beyond fantastic, from the service from our waitresses Juliana and Sophie, and the food. I can’t say anything bad about this place and my experience.
I’m definitely coming back“

“I finally made it to Chibiscus and had an excellent meal. It is a small shop with a few tables and has some cute decor. And it has parking!!!  There is street parking as well if the lot is full. It is not a huge book of a menu. But the choices are well done, and everyone should be able to find something they want here. I started with the veggie potstickers and a spicy tuna hand roll. And then had the chicken curry dish as my entrée. Do not order too much at first, save some room for dessert. Oh my gosh! The desserts look amazing, and folks drive from all over for the brick toasts here. My food arrived after just a bit. The potstickers were good. Good flavor and not overcooked, along with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy tuna handroll was huge! What a deal! Maybe 6-7 bites to eat it all. The curry came out and was a good amount of food, just like everything else that had already been served. A large scoop of rice, some pickled ginger and a big bowl of Curried chicken came out. It was really hot, and I needed to let it cool a bit before digging in. It had a nice flavor, like a brown sauce with curry added maybe(?). Potatoes, carrots, and plenty of chicken, it was a good amount of food. I probably should have taken some food home but ended up just eating everything there. Next time, dessert!“

“We've been coming here for 20 years and I think this is the best Thai food in Los Angeles. They use high quality meat and seafood and the taste is very authentic. Their chicken basil and spicy shrimp are a couple of our favorites. The staff here are so sweet. Family owned and operated. Thai food absolutely does not get better than this!!!“

“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“

“Driving through the area and spotted this little spot serving up some delicious food. The Bop is tiny, small tables, good music and friendly service. The menu offers a lot of options and I couldn’t decide what to order. I finally chose the bulgogi bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Great container to keep the food fresh and once I at down the flavors and textures were very satisfying.“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“

“5-star is probably too much, but definitely worth more than 4.5.
Service is great. Place looks pretty clean and the tables are not crowding each other. Food is very fast.
I had pork belly noodles. It’s tasty. The presentation is great. A deep bowl (good for having lots of soup), white porcelain bowl and spoon looks really clean. I loved everything in the dish: noodles, green vegetables, pork belly stews，sour veggies, the soup. Definitely finished every bite and piece and soup. Delicious. Xiao Long Bao on the menu looks good and I was tempted to order—but I was almost going to skip dinner. This tells you how much I enjoyed my noodles. And I am very picky! (There’s only 2-3 Chinese restaurants I regard highly).
The dish was slightly on the salty side—but I am an ultra low salt person in my family.
The noodles seemed from dry noodles not hand made—not as chewy as the world best noodles I had in LA. But the texture was still good 👍
Highly recommended—would ask if my child would like to come tomorrow (just visiting LA—leaving tomorrow night).

Follow up: I ended up going there 3 times in two days (yes I am a very boring person), trying 3 different noodles. Still recommend all. I love a noodle bowl that came out boiling hot—it’s a Must for me. The taste and presentation were consistent 👍There are some complaints though (not worth knocking off a star ⭐️ though):
1. Second time, it was 2 times more salty than I liked. Third time I noted “1/3 salt “ on my order, then it came out same salty level as first time (ie more salty than I prefer). I did ask for an extra half bowl of noodle water, and always finished every bite and drip of my noodle bowl 🥣.
2. Third time, the veggies stems were cold, which I don’t like.

Of the three, I highly recommend the more expensive beef noodles: the extra beef and different kinds of it makes it well worth the extra 2-3 bucks.“

“Delicious food, Always good quality. I have been going here weekly for over a year. The only thing that is frustrating, is that their closing time is not accurate with what they have it listed on google, I’ve had doordash orders go through that never came in, and i showed up to the location to be denied.. 30 minutes before listed closing time.“

“Best deal in town. We’ll be putting this place on our favorite restaurants list to come back often.“

“Good food, I got the #1 and the portions were very filling. They offer samples of the teriyaki chicken which got me to order the dish. Although the actual dish wasn't as sauced, the meat was still tender and tasty. Only downside was that some bites of rice were uncooked.“

“whoa. a gem! tucked away deep in a community club and completely unassumming. the sweet thai lady at the counter gave great service and suggested the thai noodle dishes. got the spicy noodle and am so impressed. great prices, good portion, delicious. wow.“

“Great Sushi spot. They have some signature Wokcano sushi rolls.

I was looking for a quit spot to dine alone and stopped in. The server was great in bringing me a menu and then getting my order. I tried the Truffle sushi roll. I love seaweed salad and the fact it was on the menu.

Sushi, seaweed salad, non alchoholic Stella rosa, and some french music in my earbud turned into a pleasantly laid back solo dinner out.“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“loved! loved! loved! beautiful decor, awesome ambiance, great and friendly service and delicious food! reasonably priced! And so conveniently next door to the Whiskey, great for when there's a show you're going to attend. all the thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼“

“I really like it.. The server is really kind and takes good care of me. I wore white clothes, but they gave me an apron right away, asked me about the side dishes first, and gave me refills. Most of all, the food was so delicious. Onmyeon is the best. Oh, and I like Jisamseon, so I always eat eggplant dishes. Today, I saw that there was grilled eggplant, so I ordered it and it was so, so delicious. Today's discovery was grilled eggplant!!! (I also ate cold noodles, but eat hot noodles rather than cold noodles!! Eat hot noodles)“

“Sushi Yuzu is a small, unassuming gem that serves top-quality sushi. I’m usually picky when it comes to sushi, but this place truly impressed me. The fish is always fresh, and the nigiri is expertly prepared. The service is attentive, and the vibe is relaxed but elegant. It’s not as flashy as other sushi places in LA, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic sushi.“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“Ok this is the first time I write a review before I even start the dinner. As long as I saw the chief ar Japanese I know I’ll give 5 starts for sure at the end!!!!

Ok update. I’m so full and everything is amazing
My friend orders everything double so we two finished 4 yellowtail, 4 tuna, 4 halibut, 8 eel, shrimp tempura rolls,dragon rolls, and a soba 😂“

“If you love pho, this is the place to eat! Many flavors, i went with the P13. Pho with Rare Steak & Well-Done Brisket and the steak was soo good, then the brisket just added another level of flavor. Definitely will be back.
Wait was short and the staff was so friendly and prompt, never had an empty drink. Food came out reasonably fast and hot!“

“Hadn't been here in years since we no longer pass this way. That's gonna change. Visited for dinner last night these guys deserve your business. They did a great job redecorating. The service is great. The food is awesome. Portions are generous. But most of all, the prices are extremely reasonable. In this age of skyrocketing costs, they've managed to keep themselves in my price range. Honestly just about everyone else has not. Reward these guys for their efforts. Get out there now!“
