Asian Restaurants near Culver City

“. .“

“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!“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“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..“

“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.“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

“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!!“

“RUN DONT WALK to this restaurant the food was truly phenomenal, ordered the sushi omikase for 80$ a person the variation of different fish and the quality of the cuts was amazing. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit limited but it’s definitely worth the trip.“

“I’ve always loved coming here for their teriyaki chicken bowls, but now they’ve also won me over with their new Okinawa Matcha Cloud drinks!

The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently fresh. Highly recommend this spot!! Best matcha I’ve ever had!!“

“I almost didn't want to post about this place because i dont want this place to get too busy! I like the chill (titanic) vibe and delicious food above all. I get my most frequent take out dinners here. My favorite is Galbi-Tang, its very similar to caldo de rez, but with different veggies. Anyway, hoping this helps someone decide this is a good reliable spot to try sometime when youre craving Korean food.“

“Hadasa (sorry if I spelled it wrong) made our first impression wonderful she was patient during the rush and went over the menu with us
We will definitely come back if there’s service like that ! We loved the Birria ramen! Thank you“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“10 out of 10!!!
Wow exceeded my expectations
A Must go! I’ve been to so many Asian bowl places! This is my fave!

Got the rainbow don (included piping hot miso)
Lots of warm rice with furikake-like seasonings
It doesn't even need spicy mayo and all those other things poke places have“

“Sushi fried rice great food amazing“

“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.“

“Seeing other customers throwing money at the server, seemingly because they scanned a takeout qrcode to dine in, and seeing the server cry on Thanksgiving，anyway treating a server like that is rude and barbaric. I also hope the restaurant can adjust the spiciness of their hot pot it's just too spicy“

“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.“

“Just tried out this new restaurant. Wasn’t sure abut it since they had no reviews but was pleasantly surprised how tasty and flavorful it was. We got the Wagyu and Pork Bowls and it was so filling. Comes with sauce that added flavors too. They have a good sale going on Door Dash, buy one get one free. Not sure how long it’ll last for. Definitely give this place a try! :D“

“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👍🏼👍🏼“

“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!“

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

“This place is amazing. I crave it every week. Get the spicy lamb skewers, peanut noodles, cucumber salad, and 100% at least one order of the sweet and sour pork. Dip in the peanut noodle sauce! Got the leeks for the first time this time, eat it with the lamb sooo good.
Imo is so kind, and the prices are very reasonable!“

“First time visit, it was a beautiful establishment. The servers are wonderful and the food is amazing. I highly recommend this place. I don't like crowds so it was perfect for lunch I'm sure this place would been super busy for the night life.“

“Love this place so much. Their sushi is always so fresh and love the flavor profiles they choose. My favorite rolls/sashimi there is the citrus forward specialty rolls. The lime roll is my absolute fav there. I recommend making a reso for dinner bc it's usually busy but for lunch you can usually get right in. Parking is a bit of a hassle because of the trader Joe's so close so residential parking is the move.“

“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.“

“Sakura Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar is an absolute find. The food is consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially loved the Chirashi Bowl generous portions of high-quality fish over perfectly seasoned rice. The California Roll was delicious and well balanced, and the Carpaccio was a standout dish with its clean, delicate taste. Service was genuinely good, too. The staff were attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed. Whether you’re in the mood for classic rolls or something a bit more refined, Sakura delivers on quality and consistency. A great spot for anyone craving excellent sushi in the area!“

“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!“

“Great Food. Price it's right.“
