50 Best Sushi Bars in Los Angeles

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods“

“Absolutely amazing! Everything was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We loved every single thing we ordered! The service was also great, everyone was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Definitely one of the best sushi places I’ve been to, and I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend! ❤“

“Sushi Gen is simply the best sushi spot I’ve found in California and honestly, the only place in the U.S. that has ever reminded me of the sushi I’ve had in Japan.

I discovered this place a few years ago, and I still remember how happy I was after my first visit. I had been looking for that same freshness and quality I loved so much in Japan, and Sushi Gen was the first place where I genuinely felt like I found it.

I’ve been back many times since, and it has never disappointed me. The quality is consistently exceptional, the fish is incredibly fresh. One of those rare places I can recommend without hesitation.“

“Exceptional food! Hamachi collar, red snapper soup! And sushi. Authentic; which is why it was so good!“

“We had a wonderful dinner with fresh seafood and warm, attentive service. The thoughtful appetizers and today’s specials were also excellent. Since there are very few authentic sushi restaurants in the area, this place is truly a gem.

For a reservation of seven people, a $30 deposit per person is required. The deposit is applied toward the final bill on the day of your reservation.“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“Service was amazing. The owners were there and served us personally. The spicy tuna roll was amazing and they were able to make it Gluten Free for me. It is a smaller place inside so seating might be limited. The butterfish nigiri was to die for! We will be back.“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“One of the best sushi I’ve had in Southern California, small place not fancy at all but it is a recommended experience must try.“

“I had lunch there twice this week. The food is excellent. The fish is very fresh, specials are unique and delicious. Baked green lip mussels were amazing, baked black cod hand roll in soy paper was terrific. When I’m back in town I will be there again. My office is around. The corner.“

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“Cozy sushi bar, definitely a vibe. Honestly, I enjoyed every bite here. The yuzu salmon was delicious, though it was a little too salty for me. Service was good, and my server was really nice and had great recommendations, although I did have to ask for my water to be refilled a few times. At this price point, I would’ve expected the service to be a bit more attentive. I will definitely be back…the quality of the food is amazing!“

“They have the best rolls! Very reasonable price. We eat here & to go very often“

“My husband and I had an amazing time here. Anthony and Gabriel were amazing. They really took the time to make sure our experience was 10/10. I can tell that they enjoy what they do and it made me enjoy the experience even more! The food was delicious!!! Thank you for a wonderful dinner.“

“First time coming here.. First impression was very good, the staff was very friendly and they give me good recommendation and the place is clean, a very pleasant environment. The food is very delicious and the flavors are very rich, I really recommend you here.“

“Best sushi anywhere! Been going to Sasabune for decades.“

“Best sushi ever. Better than Nobu“

“Best sushi you’ll ever have. I’ve been to every sushi place in LA, I’ve even been to Japan. Order anything and you’ll love it. You might order 3 orders of tuna crispy rice because it’s AMAZING. It’s a hole in the wall type of restaurant, and it’s a long wait but it’s worth it. Thank me later…“

“Best Sushi ever I had in the USA 🇺🇸🍣💯“

“What a special treat. Visiting LA, and my daughter made a reservation for dinner. We did not have omakase bar seats, but had the dining room omakase. Absolutely fantastic. Service was excellent, attention to every detail. The omakase sushi dinner was maybe some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten.
I need the mention the house Martini, one of the most delicate martinis I can remember.
Good luck getting the recipe!!!
Next time we will make a reservation for the omakase at the Bar with Mori.“

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

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

“We had nigiri’s, sashimis, hand rolls, clams, and salmon collar. The fish were incredibly fresh and well crafted / cooked. You can tell the restaurant has really high standards for its chefs and staff. The chefs not only create incredible dishes and sushi but are attentive as well. Amazing, really friendly and respectful service. And the restaurant is from Japan!“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“best japanese rich fllavors unique taste simple fresh and delish“

“Except for the location of the restaurant, which is not easy to find, and a little too much sushi rice, everything else is perfect.“

“So glad we stopped in! The atmosphere was quiet and cozy. The sushi was the best I’ve ever had. The service was excellent; my water cup was never empty, and the waitress was so kind and charismatic. Prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommend! We’re traveling so we unfortunately won’t be back, but we all said we wish we could take this place home with us🫶🏼“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“Great place!!! We had a wonderful evening with friends yesterday!!!! We will definitely come back here again!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌👌👌👌👌“

“I got in pretty much as soon as they open, so I got the special opportunity to get to talk to Kristine. After a lovely conversation and delicious food, I left feeling so full and at peace. The tempura was crispy and airy, the rice was perfectly cooked, the fish in the sushi tasted fresh. I cannot recommend visiting here enough. I am sure it can get busy, as the place is small, but I think that is part of its charm: meeting with a group of strangers for a good meal and a moment of peace before heading back into the world.“

“Got here around 1:30pm on a Sunday and the place was packed. Food was good but did take a while to come out. I had the Torched Salmon, King Yubu, and the Spicy Shrimp and the shrimp was my favorite. Would come by again if I am in the area. There is a little parking lot so it was convenient as well.“

“Great place, delicious food and cozy atmosphere“

“I love the owner Wendy .The food is amazing s a Mx drinks are organic ;)“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Great food. Fast service.“

“Just different sushi combos. The garlic edamame were fair, but everything else was delicious“

“This is the best spot in west LA / Santa Monica for affordable, high quality sushi rolls and incredible tempura. Their happy hour deals between 3pm-6pm are unmatched.

Draft Sapporo beer comes in a frosted glass, tastes just like in Japan and costs $4 - yes, you read that correctly. You won't find a better tasting draft pilsner style lager beer anywhere around here, and especially not for that price.

Their Mix Tempura is the best tempura in LA and my favorite thing on the menu - it's truly the best tasting and largest mix of tempura that I've ever seen and it's only $8.

Don't sleep on this place, it's a hidden gem which I’ve been going to for years now and I would be devastated to see it gone. Truly remarkable quality, friendly staff and exceptional Japanese chefs.

Bill was less than $40 for a dinner for two, had a beer to go with it.“

“I would love to say that this has to be one of the best sushi places in town! The sushi not only looks amazing, but it tastes incredible too. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is super clean. I highly recommend ordering the omakase— it’s delicious and very filling. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Great place. Food tasted amazing.“

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

“This is the second time ordering from here. We’ve heard great things about this place so we were waiting to order from here on a food app which I heard will be available soon. But we couldn’t wait so we picked up some to eat at home again. Everything is sooo delicious! My wife and I are both picky but we love everything on their menu. The portions are big and it taste really fresh and high quality.

Personally, I really love the seared salmon and scallop handrolls as well as the salmon poke bowl. My wife loves the spicy tuna handroll and cavier, uni, tuna premium handroll.

The premium packaging was also on point. Can’t wait for it to be available on the food apps in few weeks. We’ll definitely be ordering from them every week! We live and work nearby. The owners were really friendly and accommodating.

I’ll update again next week! :)“

“Absolutely one of the best Japanese dining experiences! The vibe is incredible, the service is outstanding, and the people are genuinely some of the nicest you’ll ever meet!

A special THANK YOU to the amazing staff who found my wallet on the floor. I’m forever grateful for her kindness and honesty! That alone says so much about the wonderful people who work here.

And the FOOD?! Next level! The Yakisoba, the Wagyu beef, every dish, and the cocktails were absolutely incredible! Everything was delicious and made the whole experience unforgettable.

This place has it ALL: amazing food, beautiful energy, exceptional service, and genuinely kind people. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!“

“We had the seafood yosenabe set. The kaiseki appetizers were varied and elegant. The yosenabe was very flavorful. The Key is to cook vegetables first in the broth. The bran was incredibly sweet. Portions were plentiful. Couldn’t finish the rice porridge as last course and they were kind enough to cook it in the back and packaged it to go.“

“I live in the UK and have family in LA. I have had the good fortune to visit Echigo on a number of occasions over quite a few years, it has always been exceptional, Chef is a true master of his craft. It’s a low key place, not fancy, just great sushi and lovely friendly service. Order whatever the chef wants to make for you and enjoy mouthful after mouthful of delicious sushi. I’m looking forward to returning next time I’m in town.“

“Had dinner here and the sushi was a solid choice. I tried a few different rolls and liked the variety of ingredients and flavors. The menu was easy to choose from, the portions were reasonable, and the staff were helpful when ordering. The restaurant had a nice, casual vibe.“

“Delicious. Fresh quality good sushi. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.“
