Food was very good. We shared Rainbow roll 4.5, Hamachi Sashimi 4.9, Spicy Tuna 4.7, Duo Yellowtail 4.9, Red & Orange roll, Salmon Bento 5.0. Seaweed salad, and a delicious Spicy Seafood Udon soup. Love the inside ambiance and atmosphere. Went on a Sunday. Street Parking available but can be a challenge. There is a parking garage behind but runs about $20 and no validation is available. There may be sketchy homeless persons, but it is DTLA.

The sushi was a bit pricy but we still enjoyed it. Duo Yellowtail Roll was my favorite! Ordered chicken meatballs skewers as an appetizer, surprisingly was good considering this is a sushi spot. The drinks were not very strong, tasted almost like juice lol. Loved the ambiance, it was decorated for the holiday with a Christmas tree and lights.

Fantastic service and attention from the staff, they were kind and helpful. The food was incredible and we happened to arrive during Happy Hour which was a welcomed surprise. The Beef Bento Box had a refreshing salad and tender beef. The Rainbow Roll phenomenonal as well.

Scrolled down the menu placed my order. I was so surprised how fast they roll them suhsi rolls so fast. I enjoyed all of it even the green tea. I sure will be going back.

I had an Alaskan roll, edamame and bluefin tuna sushi. The edamame didn't come with sea salt which was disappointing, and there was wasabi on the sushi between the fish and the rice, which was not disclosed on the menu. Not cool. The Alaskan roll was large and tasted good though.

Fav sushi spot in LA, great rolls and great happy hour, I just wish they have better ventilation system inside because every time we leave the place we smell like sushi, other than that the food is amazing and if you sit outside there should be no problem at all.

We come to LA fabric shopping every fall to costume our competition dancers. We stayed for 5 days and had Sakana Sushi for dinner THREE nights! It is fresh and incredibly flavorful in all the best ways!

Definitely a solid late-night sushi option. They’ve got two happy hours every day — BOGO sushi, sashimi, and rolls in the evening, and late-night discounts that make it easy to stop by after hours. The sushi was fresh and well made. I faves were the toro and salmon belly. The yellowtail carpaccio and meatball skewers were good appetizers. Drinks were decent too. Service was friendly and quick enough, and the space has a clean, modern feel without trying too hard. Prices can add up, but the happy hour deals balance it out. Overall a reliable sushi spot downtown.
The crispy rice was insane, the matcha margarita is a must have & the servers were all kind and helpful. New favorite spot, definitely need to come during happy hour! 10/10, no notes

I was surprised that it had 4 stars on Yelp. Sushi was sub par and fruit flies were all around which just grossed me out as I was swatting them away every 2 minutes. Had to put a sauce to the side because 3 had gotten stuck in it. Food was just not good. Under seasoned, overly greasy, and the sushi itself was not great caliber on quality, presentation, or how it was assembled. Nothing delicate about. No good flavor and they messed up what is typically standard delicious at any sushi restaurant in LA

This place below is level La awesome sushi spot in Los Angeles right below my hotel, amazing vibes, great service, and the best late-night happy hour from 10 PM to 2 AM! Food was fresh and delicious, and the staff made the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-visit

Pretty cool spot. But a couple weird things happened. The server literally went on his break in the middle of our service, which is fine, its California law, but he sat right next to us and ate. Its just weird and unprofessional. I cant think of many restaurants that allow their employees to eat midshift at the restaurant in their uniform. The lady watching his tables while he was on break was hard to flag down since she had other tables. Anyway we definitely won't be back. LA has so many options, the sushi rolls had no flavor either.
