50 Best Sushi Bars near Marina Del Rey

“Beautiful location and restaurant, service was wonderful and the food was really good. The planta locations I’ve been to have been consistently good and this one is no exception Loved the chicken fried mushrooms (gave calamari vibes not really chicken) and torched and pressed sushi was amazing.

“A friendly waitresses,waiters .“

“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!“

“Authentic, delicious and wonderful. A true Venice beach gem..! Highly recommend this place and will be back 100%! Thank you for the excellent service and stellar food. 🤙🏽“

“5 stars. Best hand rolled sushi. Great atmosphere and customer service. Beautiful view of the Marina.“

“Favorite spot when visiting LA. Fresh sushi, nice ambience. Can't go wrong with either Nozawa Trust Me or Don't Think. Just Eat menu. One order of these two menus can be shared with two people because they are a lot! Unagi here is yummy if you want to add to the two there. And if you just want light stuff, order the handrolls. I like ordering lobster hand roll and the crab roll. Excellent combo. Oh if you're too lazy to go and wait, their take out via Uber Eats is also good. They come with a good packaging too! Also tip is included. No more counting!“

“The man inside was nothing but kind to me. Im not from LA and my phone died trying to find my way back to my hotel. I went into Jersey Mikes and he refused to lend me a charger for a couple minutes. I decided to try here and he let me use it, offered me candy, and was so nice. I didnt try the food but with with their hospitality alone I will come eat here on my next visit. Thank you again!“

“On a cool day, when the city noise reluctantly fades, I found myself at the doors of a place called Killer Cafe. And I entered like a wanderer seeking not only food, but a moment of comfort.
Inside, I was met with a gentle light, like the evening glow upon a quiet river. The people there were not hurried, yet not idle—each occupied with their own purpose, as though every minute carried its own value.
I tasted a simple dish, yet one made with care; and in that simplicity there was meaning, much like a line that seems plain at first, but holds the soul of its maker. Their coffee was strong and warm, awakening thoughts like a morning after a long winter night.
And I thought: it is not luxury that defines this place, but its ability to shelter the weary traveler and grant a brief moment of peace amid the noise of the world.
Such is my impression—modest, yet warm, like the handshake of an old friend.“

“The food was perfect. Adam spent time understanding what we were really in the mood for and made great suggestions for us. He really made the sushi bar experience fun with light hearted conversation and laughs. A great spot for not only hand rolls but great specials too.“

“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“

“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.“

“paid $200+/per for 10 corse
The quality and portion is fair for LA

However the kinds of fish they offer and presentation is not unique enough to limit ability of selecting menu
disappointment of getting fully cooked Seabass sushi and cooked well done beef sushi 🙄“

“This was my second time at Shunji and since it was so consistent, I thought I should give it a shout out. You may miss it if you aren’t paying attention, nestled behind a non-discrete door on Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica, Shunji Japanese Cuisine is a Michelin-starred gem that redefines the art of sushi dining. Chef Shunji Nakao is a legend and this intimate restaurant offers an omakase experience that is as unforgettable as it is refined.

The heart of Shunji’s allure lies in its sushi, which showcases decades of expertise as one of Los Angeles’ sushi pioneers. Each piece of nigiri is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail, with fish sourced primarily from Japan to ensure unparalleled freshness. Shunji’s (somewhat new Santa Monica location) is a departure from its former chili bowl-shaped home on Pico Boulevard, embraces a minimalist aesthetic that keeps the focus on the food and quaint experience. The space is divided into two small rooms, each with a blonde wood counter that seats just seven, creating an atmosphere of exclusivity and intimacy. Soft jazz hums in the background, and a wall of orchids adds a touch of elegance, celebrating the restaurant’s decade-long legacy. The service is impeccable, with staff (one Shunji’s wife) moving gracefully to anticipate every need, from refilling sake glasses to presenting dishes on stunning ceramic plates.

Shunji is more than a restaurant; it’s a destination The sushi is exceptional, the ambiance serene, and the overall experience a masterclass in hospitality.“

“Love this spot! The fish quality is fresh and tasty, the sushi chefs were quick and friendly. The ambiance was intimate but cozy, the bar seating and outdoor dining are great options to enjoy your meal. Free parking is available in the back, a huge plus!“

“Kappo Miyabi is a hidden gem. I work at a nearby hotel and I'm always happy to recommend this restaurant to our guests for an authentic Japanese meal. The menu has a great selection and the fish is super fresh. If you are looking for a lowkey, neighborhood feel and want to support a mom and pop that really cares, you should definitely check this place out.“

“Our waiter was great. Suggestion: your food runners should take 15 seconds longer to slow down and clearly state what they are bringing to the table and conclude by asking us if we have any questions or if we need anything else. Some did some most did not, and they generally seemed overly rushed, which is understandable given how busy you were on a Tuesday night“

“seats 10 for a personalized tour of sushi for the purist. exceptional style and quality of fish. superbly presented by a Michelin star chef on front of you. book far in advance“

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

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

“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…“

The crispy Lobster tempura was the star of the night and the Toro and Hamachi sushi also excellent. Every dish was better than the last. Our server was great and all the staff have a great attitude and are so eager to please.. An exceptional experience!“

“Very tasty sushi spot with great service! The Uzumaki Plus is lovely and has many delicious pieces of nigiri. Every piece melts like butter in your mouth and they all have distinct flavors. The service is also delightful and very efficient! Definitely recommend!“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“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“

“My go to sushi spot for a couple years now. I absolutely love the vibes, the food, and the prices. DoorDash runs deals for delivery from here all the time too if you’re looking for a chill night in. The staff is all friendly and the place itself feels welcoming. Truly a hidden gem for the locals. Gonna include some favs of people I’ve taken here: ultimate salmon roll, crispy rice spicy tuna (they don’t add mayo which I love), yellowtail kama, veggie gyoza“

“Great place, delicious food and cozy atmosphere“

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

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Wonderful food and service, the Omekase was the culinary highlight of my week in LA. Every course was delightful, varied, and complemented the others. My friend ordered off of the menu directly and the Gyoza was the best either of us had ever experienced. Highly recommended!“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

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

“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.“

“AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ Plus First time and will definitely come back“

“grest good service and atmosphere. loved it! will definitely be back soon.“

“Overall great place to grab sushi in LA. Great quality fish at reasonable prices. Place was busy for a friday night but our hostess was great at getting us in with no advance reservations. Service is great and attentive. Would recommend and go again.“

“Amazing spot! Will be back for sure!!“

“Great food, deluxe sushi sampler is a deal that’s very hard to beat, pk3 roll is legendary (but could have crispier nori).

Staff is attentive, very friendly and helpful. Always feel welcome.

Extremely disappointed to see an ai generated image in the advertising outside. It doesn’t look like food, is gross and shows the owners are happy to cut corners where they can instead of taking a real photo of the food they make, or (even better) hiring a local photographer to hell them. A photo of a roll isn’t that hard to take, but seeing a gross ai picture is what will stop me from coming here again. I don’t want to find out what other corners the owners cut if a single photo for their lunch stand is a task too hard for them. Big yikes, Kanpai.“

“I really enjoyed this place. I was not sure what to expect and I am a bit of a sushi snob. The vibe was casual, but very cool. Stylish staff with good food recommendations. I don't usually like a DJ, but their DJ was AWESOME! I even got her IG so I could hopefully catch her out somewhere else. All in all, a fun night with good food and drink. I went with two other adults, it's not a kid place.“
