50 Best Sushi Bars near Duarte

“I recently tried Koki Ku Sushi, a newer Japanese restaurant in Duarte, and came away pleasantly surprised.

I stopped by for their lunch special and found the service attentive and welcoming throughout the meal. The 5-piece chef's choice premium nigiri was fresh and enjoyable, with each piece offering a nice variety of flavors.

I also ordered the Salmon Teriyaki with Spicy Tuna Roll combo. The teriyaki salmon was flavorful, although the slices were a bit thinner compared to what I've had at other sushi spots. The spicy tuna roll was generously portioned and filling enough to make for a satisfying lunch.

The restaurant itself has a clean, modern design and is conveniently located in the Target plaza, where parking is plentiful and easy. Overall, Koki Ku Sushi is a nice addition to the Duarte dining scene, and I'll be back to try more items from their menu.“

“Food was delicious!!! We had our two great granddaughters with us, they treated them so nicely, gave them extra tofu and attention!!! We will be visiting again soon!!“

“Everything I had here was absolutely fantastic. The presentation is beautiful, especially the way they serve items on unique, flower-shaped plates.

The quality of the fish is clearly top-notch. I was blown away by the freshness of the uni and the rich, delicate flavors in every bite. It is rare to find a spot that pays this much attention to both the taste and the plating.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the creative touch of seeing their logo on the sake cups. This place is a gem and I cannot wait to come back for another meal.“

“Umebana has amazing food! I'm currently pregnant and I have been looking all over for a sushi place to make food accommodations for me when I have my cravings. Umebana is always so kind to me, the atmosphere is clean and enjoyable, and the food is always made exactly how I requested it, so delicious! Thank you for taking such great care of me“

“Great food and great service“

“Yama Sushi Market Place has many locations in LA, tried all different locations, love them all. I usually do not give five stars for rating, but for this one, they deserve the 5 star. The fish is extremely fresh with reasonable price. It will cost three or four times more if you order the exact same varieties of fish from restaurants . They also have a very good variety of sake to select from. The Otoro, the fatty tuna melts in your mouth. Hamachi was extremely fresh. Salmon was exceptional. California roll was so yummy with soft rice. Definitely recommend.“

“A Delightful Sushi Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sushi was outstanding—fresh, expertly crafted, and beautifully presented. The chef’s special sashimi, were bursting with flavor. The nigiri was a standout, with perfectly seasoned rice and melt-in-your-mouth fish. Service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They even made excellent recommendations based on my preferences. One thing to note: Fillet doesn’t have a liquor license yet, so if you’re someone who enjoys pairing sushi with sake or wine, this might be a consideration. They said it’s coming soon, I can’t wait to come back here again.“

“Quality food & service at reasonable prices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RED WASABI… YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN! 🍣🔥

Okay, at this point, Red Wasabi isn’t just our favorite sushi spot in the neighborhood… it’s becoming a family member. 😂

Tonight, Cisco ~ aka Francisco, aka CISCO THE SUSHI WIZARD ~ came through with some surprise nigiri that had caviar on it. Let me just say this: BOMBBBB! 💣🍣

That man didn’t just make sushi… he apparently decided our taste buds needed a VIP experience. 😂 The nigiri was fresh, creative, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Cisco, you officially have permission to surprise us with sushi anytime. We trust you. 😂

And then there was Melanie. ❤️

Melanie was the cutest, sweetest server and was so incredibly kind and attentive. She actually reminded us so much of our cousin that once we made that connection, we were like, “Yep… we’re never forgetting her name now!” 😂

That’s what makes Red Wasabi special. It’s not just the food. It’s the PEOPLE.

You can get sushi at a lot of places, but when the chef is throwing down surprise caviar nigiri and your server makes you feel like family, THAT’S an experience.

Cisco, Melanie, thank you for taking such good care of us and making another visit to Red Wasabi one we’ll be talking about afterward.

Five stars, easily. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fresh sushi. Creative chefs. Great service. Good people. And apparently caviar surprises. 😂

Red Wasabi is officially our neighborhood sushi headquarters.

Cisco, keep doing your thing. Melanie, keep being awesome. And Red Wasabi… please don’t ever let us move away. 😂🍣❤️

We’ll be back soon!“

““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!“

“I was literally surprised that the place was empty when we went! It was my first time there, and I’m so glad we decided to give it a try. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was great, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend! ❤“

“Akasaka is a great place to eat authentic Japanese food. It has an intimate and simple dining, which is expected of Japanese culture. Every item on the menu is good and comes with all the expected condiments specific for that dish.
The wait times can be long so make reservations and make sure your whole party is present.
Overall, a good dining experience.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Neighborhood’s Japanese Restaurant with good Value !“

“Tried Blufish Sushi & Grill and had a really good experience. The sushi was fresh and well-made, and the grilled dishes were just as flavorful.

The place has a clean, modern vibe and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great spot if you’re in the mood for sushi or Japanese food“

“The most outstanding experience in this restaurant is the service and food. It always achieve our expectations and consistency in everything. Though it’s hard to have privacy in conversations because of its size. Nevertheless I love the food and their team.“

“Very good service and good food!!“

“Great restaurant, nice to be back . Love the food, the atmosphere and the staff“

“This is a really good sushi spot in a food court. The tempura, sushi, and bento boxes reminds of the old Sushi on Garfield takeout restaurant in Monterey Park (now permanently closed) before the owner changed its menu, but Sushi In The Box has many more choices.“

“My family has been going here for the past 3 years and we still love it. My 4 and 6 year old ask for it for their birthdays every year. Our go to order is usually the wonton soup with heavy edits, the route 66 sub, three flavors, spicy chacha, and either the quinoa salad or the joyful fried rice. And the cakes are so good, we always get either the panda or the ube. The owners used to have a spot in Pasadena but moved over here.“

“My husband and daughter love this restaurant for its AYCE sushi. It used to be Kabuki before the restaurant relocated, and it's great to see people still flocking here. The food is consistently good, and the portion sizes are just right for me.

Since I'm allergic to fish, I can't personally vouch for the sushi, but my husband and daughter say it's fresh and delicious every time. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the food comes out quickly with appealing presentation.

If you enjoyed Kabuki, you'll probably love this spot. The AYCE option feels like a great value, and there's plenty to choose from. Come hungry, because this place is unlikely to disappoint!“

“Enjoyed our quiet outdoor meal last night. Everything was delicious 😋“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“What a gem! Came here for dinner on Friday night and food is great!
Chutoro nigiri - Fresh, generous cut. Definitely a bit pricey but that’s to be expected of chutoro cut. It was so good we did 2 orders!
Tuna roll - Very good too, generous with tuna filling
Deluxe uni pasta - Wow, very creamy and uni-y. It does get very rich so recommend 2 people sharing. I was fully almost halfway into the dish because of how rich and creamy it was.

Service is pretty quick and ambiance can get pretty loud. We came on Friday night and there was a big party at a different table so it did get loud but thankfully we still got seated immediately. Will return again.“

“This place is good! The food is good the portions are awesome and the price is excellent! 25 bucks for 2 plates shrimp and 2 drinks! In 2026! The place is very clean and people are very nice! I was gonna take pictures of my food but I ate it and forgot.“

“The fish was sliced beautifully, and the citrus-soy dressing was light enough to let the natural flavor come through.

The nigiri platter was the highlight of the night.

The toro melted the moment it hit my tongue, and the yellowtail, salmon, and shrimp were all clean, fresh, and perfectly seasoned.

The baked jumbo prawns were unforgettable — creamy and smoky, topped with masago and green onion.

Every dish was plated with real care, and the service was warm and attentive from the moment we sat down.

The quality of the fish here is something you can taste right away.

I honestly don’t think I’ll ever forget this meal, and we’ll be back soon.“

“I've been coming here for over 10 years and absolutely love this spot. Hideo has been making sushi ever since I've been going here and he is excellent. Service is always good, the place is a little small, but always busy. They have the best muscles, best albacore capaccio and rolls. Nice vibe in there. I highly recommend as this is my favorite sushi spot in the SGV.“

“The food is so fresh. The presentation is very nice. Service is outstanding. pricing very reasonable. Best Sushi around for miles.“

“Fresh and delicious! Great local spot!“

“sushiland is truly a hidden gem in hacienda heights. I come here almost weekly with my girlfriend and I never had something we didn’t like. The scallop roll, scallop sushi, and wagyu sushi are absolutely amazing. Toro is always fresh and the beers are cold and cheap. We are always met with a smile by the employees and truly feel the good energy in the restaurant as well as the food we are served. Beyond thankful this is a 2 minute drive I urge anyone in LP or HH to give this place a shot- i’ve eaten at about every sushi place in Hacienda Heights and this one is clearly the best.

much love sushiland,
jeff“

“I’ve been coming to sushi rolland for a while now, and I’d say, I’m pretty satisfied! I’ve been impressed by the freshness of the their fish, especially their salmon. I LOVE salmon, and their salmon is buttery and very good quality. For their price and quality, I’d say it’s definitely worth it. I’ve tried their salmon delight, crunch roll, dragon roll, blossom roll, salmon avocado combo, combo an and combo c. I tried out their new menu today, the salmon crunch, and I really liked it (apologies for the half eaten picture). Might be my new go to menu item. I really the fried onions on there. I always like getting their miso soup, such a good combination with the sushi. Highly recommend their combo plate, especially combo A!“

“Bomb poke indeed. First time here, so not sure what it was like before but everything I had was so delicious. The portions were generous and the price was fair. The ice cream was great as well. It all tasted like it was good quality. I'll be coming back for sure!“

“Always a great dining experience with great service. Kanpai!!!“

“Me encanto el lugar muy agradable el personal no se diga muy amables“

“This is such an amazing restaurant! I first came here in 2024, but I left LA for a while and hadn’t been back in a long time. When I decided to come again today, I was honestly a little worried. Two years had passed, and I wondered if the food would still be as good as I remembered, or if the fish would still be as fresh. Thankfully, my worries were completely unnecessary!

I ordered a similar combo to what I had two years ago. The price has gone up a little, but honestly, I think that’s completely reasonable given how much the cost of everything has increased. My friend initially thought it was a little expensive, but once the food started coming out, he completely changed his mind and said the meal was absolutely worth it.

We ordered the $90-per-person combo, and it was SO much food. Every time we thought the meal was finished, the owner would come out with another dish! The lobster was unbelievably fresh—you could actually see its antennae still moving when it arrived at our table. At the end, they took the lobster head and claws to make soup for us, and the soup was delicious.

The uni rice was just as amazing as I remembered it, and the grilled salmon head was another highlight. It was incredibly fatty, rich, and flavorful. You can really tell they use high-quality salmon. My friend even joked that the salmon must never have exercised in the ocean because it was THAT fatty 😂

The staff are Korean, and they were incredibly kind and attentive. I asked the owner if I could take some of their barley tea home because I really liked it. They didn’t have any disposable cups available at the time, but the owner actually went out of his way to give me a cup and poured some barley tea for me to take home. I really appreciated that small gesture!

We also had some sashimi left over, and when they packed it for us, they even included an ice pack to keep it fresh.

Overall, this is absolutely a restaurant that gives you way more than what you pay for. The food was incredibly fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was wonderful. Most importantly, this restaurant genuinely made my night. I will definitely be coming back again! ❤
