Sweet Fish Sushi Bar & Restaurant

Went here again recently and had super sushi, ramen, and appetizers. Sit at the bar and watch Chef Jason work his magic and talk to Beto who always has a smile on his face. Sweet Fist is on my short list of favorite restaurants in all of LA.

Came here for a quick bite after a hike today. Establishment is situated in a prim neighborhood area - small space but w/ outside seating available. They run a happy hour of 20% off the entire bill from 4-6, which is pretty good actually.

The food was okay, no comparison to Bluefin or Sugarfish - but still tasted fresh and presentation was adequate. Unfortunately found a small, sharp bone in one of the Chirashi bowl sashimi as I was chewing it (luckily didn’t injure myself) and I kindly let our server know so they could prevent a future instance.

This review salvages an extra star at 4 due to our server Marie’s attentiveness and professionalism. She was very personable on the get-go and puts a lot of effort into her service - we appreciate your time, thanks!

***for the rest. staff: The bone was in one of the white pieces of fish on the bottom left of my chirashi bowl photo

Copy cat Japanese restaurant. Food not flavorful. Ambiance, not Japanese. Lighting is too dim-read the menu. No miso soup served. Pricy.

Oh my god, words can’t even describe how good the spicy tuna tempura was. The second I bit into the savory roll I knew I’d yearn for it (I’m not from cali). That being said, if you’re thinking about going to this place GO. I also had the hot udon, and crispy tuna toasty and it was so busss. I’m eternally jealous of people who can come here as they please, and, as a semi-broke tourist this is by far some of the best sushi I’ve had in all of California.

BEWARE - This restaurant does not take allergies seriously. This is not a safe place to eat. I brought my allergy card to the restaurant, reviewed it with our server and she reviewed it with the kitchen. I was assured they understood my allergies and could prepare my order safely. I took a few bites of an item and quickly realized it contained one of my allergens. I immediately asked and the sushi chef who prepared my food confirmed it did in fact contain the allergen and turned his back on me and blew me off. Neither he nor anyone else asked if I was OK or needed medical attention. Me and my lunch mate were shocked and disturbed by their complete lack of concern. Shame on them. Mistakes happen, but what should never happen is endangering a customer and then completely disregarding their well being.

I always strive to support local businesses, particularly mom-and-pop, brick-and-mortar shops. However, my recent experiences with Sweet Fish have made this challenging. For two consecutive weeks, I’ve ordered takeout and requested a simple addition of extra sauce. The first time, I chose not to return when it was missed. However, during my second visit, not only was the extra sauce forgotten, but the rice was missing as well.

I took the time to walk back to address the issue—twice—and when I finally spoke with the manager, I felt they were defensive from the start, which made the situation even more frustrating. I genuinely want to support businesses like yours, but experiences like these make it difficult to justify returning. I hope this feedback helps improve customer service and attention to detail moving forward..

Food is decent. Nothing special. Very average tasting sushi. Prices aren’t terrible but what ruins the place is the customer service. Terrible service, slow, incorrect orders, incorrect bill. Won’t be back

Disappointed today. Was looking forward to a "little-under-the weather” treat of hot soba noodles. Ordered online for pickup.

First failure: I received udon instead of soba. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I had left.

Second failure: The toast app was misleading about the pickup time. As a result, my tempura was already cooling and soggy when I arrived. Must’ve been ready early. I got a single status text confirming my order but nothing further. Something like “it’s ready now!” would’ve been helpful.

I called the restaurant to let them know I got the wrong item. I could’ve come back in but I was already at home. They offered a “discount” next time I ordered, as in I’ll need to say “You said I could have a discount!!!” Which will totally work, right? What if I come back in 3 months, will it still work then?

prices are fairly decent but quality of food is awful and not authentic. i would skip this place.

A bit pricey but every dish tastes amazing. Parking can get a bit hard to find because there is no immediate parking lot. I highly recommend the caramelized banana for dessert because it just melts in your mouth and the flavor is there.
