Had a large group there for dinner – larger than our original reservation. The restaurant was helpfully accommodating, immediately switching us to a larger table arrangement. They made menu recommendations that they believed would better suit the young child we had with us.
Sakana is hidden gem and one of best sushi spots in LA. Their happy hour with BOGO sushi rolls is fantastic. Their sashimi tacos are a must-try item too!
This place is FANTASTIC!!!!!! I've been in town for three nights of concerts, and I've eaten here five times!! They have BOGO Hour Hour, and the 30% off late night. Sooo Good!!!!

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.
