11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Culver City

“Reason for visiting:
Date/time of visit: Thursday Afternoon lunch, ~12:30 PM
Parking: I parked in the paid parking garage at the Culver steps; paid $2 after dobe with lunch so assume good for ~2 hours. My coworker found street parking 1-2 blocks away if you want to try to find street parking but $2 is reasonable
Party size: 4
Environment/ambience: smallish place with few tables and some outdoor seating. No TVs inside; not too loud inside. Pets allowed but prob outdoor only. Clean restrooms. Lots of things to see and visit around too; downtown Culver City has things within walking distance and outdoor grass areas to hang out around
Service: was great; came around often. Friendly too.
Food: had the W Chashu Ramen with egg; they do not serve alcohol here.
Cost: ~$140 with tip; $2 parking.
Would I go back (yes/no): 80/20; parking can be a hassle but food was great“

“Service is really good. The quality of sushi is amazing. My boyfriend and I order fish I karage as well and it’s just never seen before kind of flavor and quality.

Very creative in terms of using sauces and fish together. You should definitely try. Clean, kind, professional and most of all good food“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“didn’t have time to take a pic of my food because I was so hungry. but it was so delicious. I got the filet bowl with fried rice and my boyfriend got the ribeye bowl with shrimp fried rice. so good!!! the felix sauce is like a garlic butter and the yum yum sauce was amazing. would def get again.“

“Ate here 3 times in a week I liked it so much. They have a variety of different Japanese dishes so there is something for everyone. I tried two types of Udon, Unagi bowl, 6 different rolls, chicken rice, and the katsu curry. It was all delicious. Can't wait to try something different the next time I go.“

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

“It was our first time trying Ramen and the cashier was awesome enough to help us choose. We chose the spicy ramen and it was not disappointing! It was just enough spice to make it flavorful. And it was enough to fill the tummies of two ladies and then some. I was kinda bummed that there isn't much of a varieties when it comes to ordering. Only about 4 to 5 options.“

“My wife and I have been coming here for years now. The vibes are always fantastic, food is always top notch, and you can’t beat the happy hour specials ($4 Sapporo draft hell yeah). John (올림) was our most recent server and he was on top of it!!! Food came out quick, empty dishes picked up so fast, and we were checked on multiple times. Shout out to the serves, chefs, and back of house for making this place run so smooth. See you soon 🤌🏽“

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!“

“Larry is the best at giving laidback, accurate service. We ate here in February and will continue to come to this location every time. See you soon Larry, I should be there on this Friday around 10:30 am for another large beef bowl with extra juice (broth) LOL.“
