“Some of the best food ever!!“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“great food,service and prices“

“I rarely eat seafood from unfamiliar spots (yes, I’m a bit of a seafood snob), but Yunagi Kitchen near LAX had great reviews, so I gave it a shot—and I’m glad I did. I’ll definitely be ordering again when I’m in the area.

We tried a variety of rolls, and everything tasted fresh and arrived quickly. But the real standout? The Crunch Roll with real crab. Mind. Blown. I honestly could have ordered four of those and called it a day—absolutely delicious.

Knocking off one star for a small but annoying detail: no sriracha included in the order. I noticed they sell “extra sriracha,” which is fine—I don’t mind paying if needed—but at least give a heads-up that none is included. A little communication would’ve gone a long way.

Still, great sushi and a solid choice near the airport. Highly recommend—just don’t forget to ask for your sauces!“

“Fresh and great sushi! In combination with the nice cocktails a great experience.“

“Genuinely exceptional from the warm welcome, the unique and beautiful atmosphere, and the attentive above-and-beyond team service. The Spicy Tuna Lemon roll was incontrovertibly the most uniquely mouthwatering sushi I’ve ever had the pleasure of savoring. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“Wow! I can’t believe I did not try this location sooner. As soon as you walk in the vibe is amazing, but that’s not the best part. The aroma of everything being cooked is so appealing.

I had the miso soup combo with a California roll. The noodle, the pork, the egg and the broth was delicious. You have to try it for yourself!

The price was perfect and I had it to go (in all honesty I should have dined in, next time). I will come back to try more of the delicious food.

Kid-friendliness: I know my kids would love to come and eat here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, location is very accessible.“

“Celebrated my birthday with my immediate family at Fushion Sushi. It is under new management. We met the new manager, she made changes to food because everything was delicious. Thank you.“

“Kappo Miyabi is hands down the best Japanese restaurant in Santa Monica. From the moment you walk in, the ambience sets the tone—elegant, serene, and perfectly designed for an authentic dining experience.

The sushi is absolutely world-class—fresh, artfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. Every bite feels like it was crafted with care and precision. The sukiyaki, though, is truly unforgettable—rich, perfectly balanced, and the best I’ve ever had.

The combination of warm service, refined atmosphere, and exceptional food makes Kappo Miyabi a rare gem. If you’re looking for the best ambience, best sushi, and best sukiyaki in town, this is it!“

“Fabulous sushi with just enough flair to let you know that Chef Daniel-son has above average skills in areas other than sushi - he does a Saba sandwich on homemade milk bread, plus a shrimp stone pot fried rice in addition to sushi (at least as of this visit). Two seatings, the later one is more relaxed if you don't mind eating late. And the sake selection is excellent.“

“As a lifelong plant-based eater, I’m always excited to find restaurants that truly understand how to create satisfying vegan cuisine, and Planta Cocina absolutely delivers.

My wife and I had a fantastic dinner here and were impressed by the creativity and flavor of every dish.

We started with the Chicken Fried Mushrooms, which were well seasoned and had an incredible crispy coating. The mushrooms themselves were exactly what you want in a great appetizer.

For mains, we shared the cauliflower wings along with the Al Pastor bowl adding the blackened tofu for protein. The cauliflower wings had tender texture with bold flavors, while the Al Pastor bowl with the blackened tofu was well prepared with a mix of spices that made every bite exciting.

Their mocktail offering is also worth highlighting - we sampled the Cosmic Colada which is a must-try if you enjoy tropical flavors, especially pineapple. It was refreshing.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere welcoming. It’s clear the kitchen understands how to build layers of flavor and create dishes that are satisfying and healthy for you. For fellow plant-based diners or anyone curious about vegan cuisine, this place showcases what’s possible when creativity meets quality ingredients. Definitely planning our next visit soon.“

“First: Restaurant has several options for seating - booths outside that are charming, a covered inside garden area with booths and tables which is where we always sit, or inside at the sushi bar, the regular bar, or the inside tables. Second: Staff are delightful - very professional, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. Third: Food is delicious. We always order the crispy rice with spicy tuna, the yellowtail special and the Tiger King sushi roll. Nobody does these dishes better! Bar creates great drinks. Parking: You can usually find street parking on Rose or a side street if you don't mind walking a block or two.“

“A small hidden gem!!! We were there just last Friday. The service (as always) was wonderful, the food scrumptious and though last Friday we were sat immediately (we just happened to beat the crowd). We have had to wait a few times; and I assure everyone it is worth the wait!“

“Excellent, authentic, VERY Japanese sushi. No firecracker shrimp rolls. If you want that kinda thing, go back to Hermosa.“

“Sushi Time has officially become our new after-school go-to spot, all thanks to Mimi! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel like family—so kind, warm, and welcoming, with a sense of humor that instantly brightens your day. She has that rare gift of making you feel seen and cared for, which makes every visit special.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything is made fresh to order, with that perfect balance of quality and flavor that keeps us coming back. You can tell a lot of love goes into every dish.

Between Mimi’s amazing energy and the consistently great food, this place is a gem. It’s not just sushi—it’s a whole experience. Highly recommend!“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“Hand roll spot with dry aged fish inside the Citizen Public Market. Came here for dinner with a friend and we both ordered the small set (4 pieces). We were able to replace the lean roll with a different fish. Our server was super nice and we enjoyed our meal. It operates like it’s a sit down spot so you pay after the meal, rather than at the counter like at other stalls in the market.“

“Service is great and the food is too. My wife and I come here every time we visit family on this side of town. It is our favorite, the chef is a master and always uses high quality ingredients for high quality food. Definitely a pricier dinner but for a date night with someone you love in a comfortable low key spot, it’s perfect. Will come back again and again.“

“Absolutely amazing vegan food, the staff were so kind and professional, their food is top-tier 👌 Can’t wait to come back for more !!! 🥰“

“Great spot tucked into a tiny strip center area. Plenty of seating, including sushi bar seating. My orders of maguro nigiri and yellowtail nigiri were very fresh. The spicier tuna roll was delicious as well. Complimented by attentive service and a laid back atmosphere, this made for a perfect spot. 👏“

“We had a delicious, incredibly fresh and expertly prepared omakase menu. The restaurant owners are also the fish wholesalers which allows for high quality imported fish from Japan at a fair price. Rounding out the experience, was the welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Very excited to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Some of the best sushi 🍣 you will get outside of Japan.“

“We come to Enya often, and love the food and vibe. The rolls are creative, the fish always fresh, and the chefs and staff are welcoming and attentive. One of our fave spots in Venice/MDR!“

“Great service, friendly staff and the owner, Paul, showed warm hospitality. The prices were great and the quality of the food will definitely have me going back!“

“Sunday brunch was amazing. the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were some of the best we have ever had. the location is ideal definitely get an ocean facing room. The staff catered our every need. We haven't even checked out yet and I believe we're about to book our next stay.“

“A friendly waitresses,waiters .“

“My family and I went there for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant was full, and we were seated in a private room where you had to take off your shoes to enter. The service was excellent, and the menu featured unique items at reasonable prices. We will definitely return for more.“

“美味しゅうございました！“

“Since I'm a very picky Japanese food eater, I tend to avoid anything that might be Japanese where it's not 100% Japanese. That said, I do enjoy the Thai food here. It's decent and filling. The staff are polite and I like it because it's in walking distance for me.

I have tried some Japanese-ish food like the lobster rolls or teriyaki chicken. Those dishes weren't bad if you consider them more California Asian cuisine. The prices are what you might expect these days for a spot like this. They do have lunch time specials so I think those are worth making the trip if you're in the area and want some decent Thai etc or something different.“

“Most definitely the best sushi I've had in years. My wife and I had Omakase for my birthday. Outstanding service -- they kindly accommodated our dietary requests. The presentation was masterful and the executive chef beautifully explained his artistic creations. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely go back again to enjoy the chef's craftsmanship and to enjoy a truly authentic sushi kaiseki experience.“

“A long time go-to spot. Family owned. Great quality Japanese food that is delicious and well priced.
My favorite is the salmon skin salad, only $8 still during these difficult times and post COVID prices. Offer multiple combination plates, sashimi, and authentic rolls.
Tofu salad also delicious.
My Bachan is a regular here :)“

“My first review! My visit here last night was nothing short of a revelation in the art of sushi dining. Celebrating its 17th year, this gem of a restaurant has not just stood the test of time; it has set the bar for what authentic Japanese cuisine can embody. Though it is not your modern izakaya nor fine-dining luxury, it firmly facets itself as the "OG" restaurant in the diverse Japanese dining scene. Immediately upon entering, I observed details of its classic entity by old decos of art, calligraphy, signs, photos, and handwritten notes. It was an ambiance that exuded warmth. I immediately felt the history and dedication woven into the fabric of this place. The owners have crafted not merely a restaurant but a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Japanese culture and cuisine. I opted for the sushi combo course. Each piece of sushi was a testament to the chef's mastery over his craft, with every ingredient shining through in a delicate balance of flavors and textures with a properly curated course. All the nigiri boasted freshness in a blend of tastes that was above satisfactory by the plate. But what truly sets Sushi Anza apart is the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the dining experience. From the attentive, yet unobtrusive service to the meticulous presentation of the dishes, you can feel the love and dedication that the owners have for their craft. It's this personal touch combined with an "aged" ambience that transforms a meal into an experience. In a world where the genuine essence of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be lost amidst fusion and innovation, Sushi Anza stands as a beacon of tradition and quality. Overall, my first visit here was a nostalgic journey through the very essence of Japanese tradition, guided by the hands of those who know and respect it the most. I cannot recommend Sushi Anza enough and look forward to many more visits. I hope to regain the same authentic warmth, excellence, and quality that hallmarks the culinary gems of Torrance.“

“Great sushi place. Did one of the several course tasting options.“

“Great quality for the price! Staff is exceptionally attentive and pleasant. After spending some time away I’m happy to see this place reopened. I appreciated the M-F, 7-830a, breakfast special, which was a great deal for this neighborhood.“

“Hands down, one of the best sushi experiences I’ve ever had. Everything that was served was top-tier. You can tell the owner cares deeply about the quality. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. All of their recommendations were delicious! This is my new go-to sushi spot and I’m already counting down the days until I come back!“

“Quality fresh sushi, creative to. I wish they deliver to Santa Monica , but I will pick up :)“

“Friendly sushi chef and staff Fresh sushi and tasty kitchen food Highly recommend“

“We love Yanagi. Fabulous and fresh sushi, great service and there always seems to be a table for us. My tiny humans, age 10 and 7, love their sushi. At Yanagi, they are always well taken care of.“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“Service was excellent very friendly and beautiful view. Food was awesome.“

“I stayed in Santa Monica for a while and every roll I ever ordered was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend the mango roll and the rockin roll roll . The staff is very kind and are quick . All I recommend is a bigger place with more seating, we almost missed out on delicious sushi bc all seats were taken when we arrived and there is no where to wait.“

“Excellent Fresh Food and really friendly servers who show interest in you having the best experience possible. Happy 9th year Anniversary!“

“We’ve become regulars here and absolutely love their sushi! The quality is consistently great, and the prices are very reasonable—especially during happy hour. Service is always quick and friendly.
Honestly, writing this is making me crave it again... might have to swing by for a to-go order later!“

“Great food 🍱 and great service!! Really awesome place“

“The staff is very friendly here and the sushi was so fresh and delicious. I ordered 3 salmon rolls that were 4 pieces each and the fish was so rich. I also really loved the extra Hello Panda cookies they threw in which just happened to be my favorite. I will definitely be back for more! They might just be my new favorite sushi spot.“
