50 Best Sushi Bars near La Crescenta Montrose

“Back and great, Chinese is great tasting and light on oi! yummy :)“

“Easily one of the very best sushi places I have been to here or in Japan. We went for a birthday dinner and chose the Omakase (option 2). It was an incredibly well balanced meal including many of our favorites. The quality is just perfect. Temperature, freshness, taste, everything from the fish to the rice, toppings and soy sauce.

The service is super good, such a friendly staff. chefs and owner. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.“

“Just had a self Omakase date and I have to say, the detail that was poured into each dish, flavor wise, was really special. Even just the sashimi pieces themselves really had great complimentary garnish flavors that weren’t even noticeable just looking at the fish.

Great service and throughly enjoyed.“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Found this place about a year ago and every time we are in LA we make a point to come during happy hour and get their mountain roll & crispy spicy tuna. Service is wonderful and attentive. Sushi never misses. Always so fresh. 10/10 recommend!“

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“I pop in here probably once a week sometimes twice for a glass of wine. The bartenders are very cheerful and informed with respect to varieties and flavors and all the jazz. They walk you through the options and make tip top recommendations. The place is always slammed at night, yet the manager is extremely accommodating and always finds a place for me to chill and savor the weekend ambiance. I’ve never had their food, but it looks delicious. All the servers are friendly and have excellent people skills. The outdoor space is a fun hang too if you have a group. I always feel spoiled here. 5 star experiences.“

“My family and I love eating here. The food is always fresh, there's a lot of variety, and the fish is of great quality. I personally love the tuna crispy rice and all of the rolls are excellent choice. Service is so good and the place is ideal for enjoying a delicious sake. Highly recommended.“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“We went here for our wedding anniversary and we loved loved the whole experience! I’ve had many omakase before in LA, Toronto & Japan and this was top notch. I was obsessed with their pickled ginger as it appears to be house made. I would come back just for that! Just kidding but not really. We’ll definitely be back! I wish them continued success!“

“We had a very nice dinner here. It was highly recommended by a friend. It is a cute little place that fills up quickly. We ended up sitting outside with some heaters, which was quite nice. We tried the Brussel sprout appetizer, and it was excellent. We ordered the Asian roll, the lobster tempura roll as well as the soft shell crab roll. All were very good. The negima, which is chicken on a stick, was very tasty. We finished with mochi, which was perfect.“

“I ate here yesterday along with my mom, uncle and aunt. I ordered the Salomon bento with California roll instead of rice. I liked the server since she was kind, got us extra wasabi and an extra bowl and spoon and water. The music wasn’t too loud and it was enjoyable. The salmon wasn’t too tough and had the right flavor. I loved the salad and veggie tempura.“

“If you are in the San Gabriel Valley area you must stop here if you want amazing Sashimi. Started with fatty Tuna that melted in my mouth so fresh delicious then moved on to giant Clams (Mirugai) it was sweet & crunchy I could have gone for second order not many sushi restaurants have (Mirugai)The fatty belly Salmon was buttery & the spicy Tuna hand roll sashimi was perfect coz I’m a spicy food addict it was just heavenly for me. Yum yum 🤤 ended with Kumamoto Oyster 🦪 it was so sweet like cotton candy in your mouth made me wanting more which I did order more. Lol 😂 The house hot Sake was good for a cold night paired so well with my amazing Sashimi! Great way to end my Friday night here! Thank you Chef!“

“This place was awesome. the fish was extremely good and the service was fast. I'm not sure why it is rated so poorly, but I had a wonderful experience here and I would definitely return if I lived in the area!“

“We really enjoyed our dining experience at Kenbey. The sushi is fresh and you can tell the chef cares about each piece he serves. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of 3 things. The first is that I didn’t like the sauce that came on the hirame and the sauce on the albacore with the slice of garlic. Second, we tried the Hokkaido uni, it was a very dark orange (so not the freshest - we should have gone with the Santa Barbara uni) and so bland and flavorless. Third, for the prices they could add some decoration.
I would still recommend trying Kenbey. The service was excellent and overall pretty good!“

“One of the best omakase experience i’ve had.

There were so many dishes that came out that I started to get full. Love it!

The service was very attentive. The fish quality was great and there were some unique options i’ve never had before. My favs were the ankimo, seared baby barracuda, spotted ebi, and uni. The espresso hojicha dessert was absolutely amazing as well.“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!“

“The staff are always friendly and the food is absolutely delicious.
Every time we visit L.A., this is a must-stop spot for our kids.

We’re big fans of sushi and have tried omakase in many countries, but this place keeps coming back to mind. While the setting and atmosphere might not be the most fancy, the taste alone is enough to bring us back.

In fact, sometimes the small and humble vibe feels even more comfortable, which is why it works so well for our family. I have a feeling we’ll keep coming back every time we’re in L.A!“

“As soon as I stepped foot in this joint, I knew it was gonna be a hit!!!

O ordered the veggie rolls with tempura flakes on top.
Fresh and yummy!!

I WILL BE BACK!!“

“This is on3 o& m6 favorite sushi places in Los Angeles. Always very fresh, great daily specials, and unusual options. Try the maitake sushi!“

“Unexpected find in a quiet little plaza in West Hollywood—easily the best unagi don I’ve had in SoCal. Two styles, both incredible, but the hitsumabushi stole the show. Could’ve eaten three more bowls without hesitation. 😋“

“An absolute gem of a place! The Naked rolls are wrapped with veggies like radish instead of rice and PACKED GENEROUSLY with really fresh fish. Service here's amazing also. Oh and the macaroon ice creams 😍. So glad I found it ♥️“

“We love Katsuya! The sushi is so fresh and the rolls are creative and very tasty! We especially enjoyed the special crab hand roll and we added avocado which was the best! We had tickets to the Pantages and the staff was very attentive to ensuring we left on time to the show. Everyone there is very friendly!“

“Excellent food. ambience is also very good. we had udon noodle soup which was freshly made and great taste“

“a true gem. there are no frills here and the sushi speaks for itself. I have never had to wait for a table and the service is direct, and courteous. they provide incredible ginger that they will refill throughout your meal, so go crazy, it’s addictive. and the wasabi. freshly grated, sweet, fluffy, this is the real deal.
my favorites are the sweet shrimp, the uni served with hokkaido and santa barbara side by side, the halibut, and red snapper. but it’s all very very good.
every time i am seated, the waiter reminds me, no special roll, no california roll, and I couldn’t be happier.“

“Clean, fresh, delicious sushi at delightfully reasonable prices. And the new owners, a family of three, are super friendly and fun. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent Sushi and service! The garlic edamame was delicious! Service was fast and friendly and they have PARKING!!“

“I like this place. Premium rolls are delicious!!!!“

“Sakana is honestly one of my favorite spots for sushi. I had such a great experience. We ordered the Lobster Roll and Alaskan Roll. Both were insanely good. So fresh, so flavorful... every bite was oishii. Our server, Brian, was super kind and made us feel really welcome.If you're looking for authentic Japanese sushi and a relaxed dining vibe, Sakana is the place to go. Can't wait to come back!“

“ordered the Nozawa Trust Me and it did not disappoint! fish was fresh and brought out at a good pace - never went too long between plates, but also didn’t feel rushed. ordered some of the limited selection as well, and they were delicious (uni & eel)! highly recommend this place if you’re a sushi lover“

“Great food and the people in the restaurant where accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Will definitely come back!“

“Never miss in quality and service! Yama never fails for serve up that high quality fresh sushi grade fishes, and the variety of their sushi options is amazing! One certain days, you just might find some special fish/dish depending on their stock! Additionally, and the drinks and snacks are a plus with heir fabulous customer service! Would’ve come here daily if I didn’t live almost 1 hour away! :)“

“Two thumbs up! Simply Best sushi in town ever. Love this place and all super friendly staff. Try Chef's special and feel chef Kono's 30 + years experience. Definitely will back soon.“

“I’m not sure how I haven’t reviewed this place sooner. It’s our go to sushi spot when we want fast and top tier sushi. I get the Salmon avocado cucumber hand roll every time and it never disappoints. We love the staff so much, they are so kind!!! We hope this place never goes out of business“

“I wish I would have taken a picture of everything we ate, but we were hungry and the food was delicious, so we ate away.

We had their shishito peppers and miso as starters. We ordered one roll and the rest, a variety of nigiri. To drink we had sake. Everything was yummy.

I can't wait to comeback.“

“The staff is very friendly and attentive. We know and remember what our customers like. Above all, the raw fish is very fresh.
It's an old raw fish restaurant and our family really likes it.
Sashimi, raw fish, and soup are all delicious. Recommended.“

“Amazing place for enjoying with family and friends.. food is just awesome!!! Exceptional service.“

“Best sushi, ever! Style and quality is excellent!“

“Awesome experience here ! Fast service. Fairly small and very busy restaurant. Got the 35$ sampling menu and it was amazing for the price. Everything was very very fresh. Some of the best tuna I've tried . Melts in your mouth . The uni .... Mmmmm. So soft , so fresh . Amazing . Id definitely want to come back and try more“

“The food was absolutely amazing, we tried different things from the menu and it was all just SO good! We also had the Green tea tempura icecream for dessert and that was 10/10! The service was top level - welcoming, friendly and great recommendations!“

“I feel like this place would be a lot more popular if it was in a better location. A really nice restaurant offering a large selection of Japanese and Thai food. I only tried the sushi omakase and it was quite good. Good quality and presentation, with all sorts of different fish. Reasonably priced too, great spot for families and groups.“
