My go to restaurant in DTLA. Jimmy and thebstaff are exceptional.
If you’re ever in downtown Los Angeles and looking for a late night sushi spot then this is a perfect place for you and me. Bottle drinks are thirty percent off with a food order from ten to two in the morning. Now that’s tempting to me and my fellow travelers. Not only that! From 5 to 7 they have a sushi happy hour where one can get a buy one get one free but as a dine in special only.

Sakana Sushi Lounge DTLA has earned a loyal following in Los Angeles for its consistently excellent sushi. The menu offers a beautiful balance between traditional nigiri and creative, fusion-style rolls. Crowd favorites like the crispy tuna, yellowtail nigiri, and a luxurious wagyu-truffle-caviar roll with freshly grated wasabi showcase both freshness and innovation. Every bite is intentional, with standout ingredients and careful presentation that impress even seasoned sushi lovers.
The restaurant's happy hour is a standout, offering a Buy-One-Get-One-Free (BOGO) deal on sushi rolls and appetizers during select hours. This isn't a watered-down version of the regular menu - many premium items are included, making it easy to fill your table with favorites without breaking the bank. Regulars say the BOGO setup is perfect for trying new rolls or doubling up on a favorite, and it's common to see tables loaded with multiple plates of sushi, crispy rice, and tempura shrimp, plus craft cocktails, all for an unbeatable value.
The cocktail list at Sakana is creative and visually fun, ranging from fruity and refreshing to bold and punchy. They pair well with the sushi and add a festive touch to the experience, with some guests even noting the cocktails as a highlight equal to the food itself.
While prices can creep up if you're not watching the extras, the balance of quality, flavor, and atmosphere keeps people coming back. Sakana DTLA delivers the kind of experience that lives up to the buzz, with excellent sushi, delightful drinks, and one of the best happy hour deals in the city. Whether you're a sushi regular or just exploring the scene, this place is absolutely worth the visit.
