If you’re looking for some of the best sushi in Los Angeles, this spot is a must-visit! One of my favorite dishes is the poke bowl, which is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also can't get enough of the crispy rice topped with spicy tuna—its delightful crunch adds a wonderful texture, and the spiciness is just right. The crispy onions roll is another favorite.
Plus, they have a kid's menu, making it a great place for families to enjoy a meal together. You won’t be disappointed!

Disappointed and Concerned – A Warning to Fellow Diners
The restaurant staff were friendly and professional, which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was deeply disappointing and ultimately, dangerous to my health.
When I first sat down, I noticed a fly buzzing around. I let it go, thinking it was no big deal. But by the end of my meal, I was being swarmed and bitten by what I can only describe as large horse flies. This is clearly not a service issue but a serious hygiene and sanitation concern. I spoke with a manager who, unfortunately, dismissed it entirely and offered no resolution.
The next day, I came down with a severe case of dysentery. I called the restaurant and not only was I met with denial, but I was accused of lying. I have documentation of my illness and have reported it to the health department and from what I’ve seen in their past reviews , I’m not the first person to raise concerns like this.
As someone who cooks with and is closely connected to chefs like Beth Aretsky, Aretsky Patroon, and the late Anthony Bourdain, I know the difference between an off night and a fundamental problem. Unfortunately, this was the latter. A restaurant’s integrity is tested not when things go right, but when something goes wrong and in this case, they failed.
I sincerely hope they take action before someone else ends up worse off.

Freshest fish I had at this price point. Possibly the best toro I've had any where. Great location for dinner before heading to The Greek. I'll definitely be coming back here and will be thinking about their sushi!

We visited LA to go to Disneyland, but we also drove to the Griffith Observatory. We hit this restaurant on our way back from the observatory. We’re really glad we did! The food was delicious, and the service was kind and friendly. We’d gladly stop back here if we are ever in the area again!

The Food, Service, and Atmosphere was a wonderful experience. I would adore and love to have lunch there again. Also the food wasn't filling, I have to remind myself that I can eat alot 😋. Such great things in life are expensive I suppose. I Will Recommend This Place To Others In The Future. ALSO Not Far From Griffin Park, so Great To Eat And Hike Away Any Tireness, Which Didn't Come To Me 😊

It was super hot so we ate inside and I can’t really say anything exciting about that. Interior seemed like an afterthought, but the outdoor space is nice. More importantly the fish was excellent!! I’d definitely recommend and go again
