“Hands down, this is the best vegan restaurant in Los Angeles. Delicious food with a rotating menu, beautiful outdoor seating looking over the Marina. I love bringing non-vegan friends and family here because they all leave happy Updated from previous review on 2026-04-20“

“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!“

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

“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. 🤙🏽“

“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!“

“Pleasantly shocked by the amazing quality of the fish , I've been to two star Michelin omakase spots that don't hold a candle to the fish quality this place provides and for the prices they charge it's actually wild. Whoever there fish guy is they must have some really good connections lol“

“this place is great. i found it my searching “impossible burger near me”, and i know that’s not their claim to fame by any means, the patio was amazing. my husband got the shelled shrimp and was super satisfied with that as well. plus, they allow dogs! i don’t have one, but always enjoy other people’s at restaurants. highly recommend.“

“Amazing and thoughtful service from Pierre!
I'm particular about my sushi, especially salmon. But I can say Azai is the best sushi I've had in California so far. The salmon sashimi is juicy and the salmon roll melts in mouth, just like my favorite sushi place in NY. I'm excited to come back!“

“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“

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“okay i could write an entire novel about my experience here, but i will keep it brief. my sister and i came to the WeHo Uchi to celebrate my birthday after hearing lots of buzz about it. When we entered, we were immediately greeted warmly and had a lovely exchange with the host. The ambiance was beautiful, everything was pristine and curated, and everyone member of the staff were friendly and comfortable to speak to. Our waiter—whom i sadly cannot remember the name of— truly went above and beyond with his service. We ordered the omakase for two and a few other small dishes, but he threw in two on the house— one being wagyu as a “birthday present” and the other being nigiri. We were choosing between the nigiri and a roll, and when we ultimately chose the roll, our waiter brought us both dishes anyway. Everything felt incredibly thoughtful and personal; there was even a little handwritten card wishing me a happy birthday. The food came out very swiftly—and speaking of the food, it exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, beautiful in its presentation, and very unique. This is one of the few sushi places in LA that I think truly lives up to the hype surrounding it. thank you for a great birthday dinner; we will be back again, again, and again!“

“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.“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“I actually wasn’t planning to come here but i saw this cute patio area of this restaurant and wanted to check out.

Honestly i was so impressed of the friendliness of the staffs and the quality of the food!

My boyfriend and I ordered the Sachi boat, assorted sushi and sashimi and a specialty roll on this cute boat and everything was delicious!

Will definitely come back here. So glad to find a cute date spot to come back to. :)“

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

“Amazing food and service, chef Hilo made my experience feel like I was truly understanding each bite I took into my food. Amazing atmosphere“

“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 food. Good service. decent prices“

“This place is the BEST. The chef is outstanding and prepares everything with caring and expertise. The food it top notch and not too expensive. It's relaxing and homey and fun. The couple who own it are friendly and sometimes everyone in the restaurant talks with everyone else. People eat here over and over because it feels relaxing and yet the food is top notch. The chef is an expert. I can't recommend it more highly.“

“We’re big fans of Omakase and have also been to the Culver City location, which is just as good. Both spots consistently deliver an incredible experience.
The sushi is amazing- super fresh, beautifully made, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every bite. The Santa Monica location keeps that same high standard we’ve come to expect, with great service and a chill but still elevated vibe.
It’s one of those spots you just know you’re going to leave happy every time. Highly recommend if you love really good sushi and a solid omakase experience.“

“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“

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

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

“Great spot with all the feelings Japan. Amazing skewers and phenomenal hand rolls. Couldn’t get enough of the salmon sashimi. Great sake selection (we finished three bottles) and multiple drafts to sip. Engaging staff with a chef who knows what he is doing. We will return! 🍣 🇯🇵 🍱“

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

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“Just go here. They are amazing. Best omakase sushi in LA. The concept is fantastic, service is even better, and they genuinely understand what makes sushi good.

Honest criticism: The tamago was a bit subpar against how amazing the rest was. Secondly some may be off put by the slightly cold lighting, yet I think they are wrong in such an assessment. Sure it isn’t perfect for Instagram but it highlights the food better.“

“Saloon Osaka is an exceptional Izakaya.
Highly recommend this El Segundo gem!
From the nigiri, rolls, unique flavorful salad options, even the top grade caviar! Thank you Chef and staff, we had a wonderful experience and cant wait to be back soon.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 🙄“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“Service is really good. The quality of sushi is amazing. My boyfriend and I order fish I karage as well and it’s just never seen before kind of flavor and quality.

Very creative in terms of using sauces and fish together. You should definitely try. Clean, kind, professional and most of all good food“

“We visited this restaurant as a couple. Unfortunately, reservations are not accepted, so we had to wait on the street for about 45 minutes to get a table.

Normally, I would not be willing to wait that long, but I had been told several times that the food was well worth the wait because of the restaurant's outstanding cuisine.

After entering the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the rather high noise level. The interior design also seemed quite simple and functional rather than particularly cozy or stylish. On the positive side, the service was attentive, friendly, and pleasantly unobtrusive.

The quality of the food was excellent. Every dish we ordered impressed us with its freshness and flavor. Particularly noteworthy was the selection of seafood specialties, including some items that are not commonly found in many restaurants.

Overall, we were very impressed by the food, and it was ultimately the main reason why the wait was worthwhile.“

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

“Just moved to the area and walked in for dinner around 8pm on a Monday. We got the $120PP omakase as well as some appetizers. Being sushi aficionados (but from New York) we were very pleasantly surprised with the high quality and price here.

The pieces of sushi were expertly cut and the rice was perfect. Each piece was a 10/10. My only regret is that we didn’t get MORE. I can’t wait to be back and am planning to be a regular here :)“

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Everything is delicious. Never have I had a subpar meal. A+“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic. No notes. Had the omakase with the sake pairing, was a experience I will not forget. Service was superb, super nice and highly attentive. And the food, out of this world. The intimate space was beautiful and made the experience feel very special. Would highly recommend!“

“This place is a secret Gem, I believe this was my third time stopping by and I have to say, it never disappoints. They are currently offering a BOGO deal on their Premium Rolls (Buy one get the second one 50% off).
I got the Philly Roll and the Party Rock roll, both were delicious!
Ingredients felt high quality and very fresh.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is great and the sushi is absolutely amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every roll we tried was delicious, and you can really tell they care about quality.

The only downside I can mention is the bathrooms. They’re unisex and were veryyy dirty when we visited, which was disappointing compared to how good everything else was.

Other than that, the food alone makes it worth coming back. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers!“

“I got the oyakodon set and it was such an elaborate meal, I felt like a queen. The oyakodon was so comforting and I really enjoy the fresh fish and tofu/beef sides!! I was also in a rush but the servers were kind enough to get me in and out in a jiffy :) Will be back!!“

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

“My dinner at Kanpai Sushi in Santa Monica was nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Yoshi is a true master sushi chef. While he may not be new to the craft, his skill, precision, and deep understanding of traditional sushi brought me back to a time when sushi was simply done right.

In fact, Chef Yoshi could probably serve me a shoelace, and it would be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.

Everything was exceptionally fresh. The wasabi had a vibrant freshness that elevated every bite, and the ginger practically melted in my mouth. I sampled as much toro as I could possibly eat, along with an incredible selection of fish that showcased Chef Yoshi’s mastery and attention to detail.

The Kumamoto oysters were so delicious they made me want to kiss my fingers and thank the heavens. The uni was phenomenal and remains one of my favorite bites of the evening. However, the biggest surprise was the seared salmon belly. It was my first time trying salmon prepared that way, and it absolutely blew my mind.

Instead of ending the meal with dessert, I finished with a hand roll that combined fresh tuna and crispy shrimp tempura, topped with eel sauce. The contrast of cool, fresh tuna and warm, crunchy shrimp tempura created an unforgettable bite and was a complete game changer.

I’ve been eating sushi since I was 18 years old, and now well into my 50s, I can confidently say this is the best sushi restaurant I have ever experienced. Beyond the incredible food, the staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely respectful throughout the entire evening.

I have officially found my favorite sushi spot.

Thank you, Chef Yoshi. I’ll be back very soon.

— Linda“
