We had a quick bite before the Inferno Bar. The sushi was incredibly fresh and so flavorful! We highly recommend giving this cute place a chance before heading out.

They have a ton of drink options. They only have had rolls as a food option. If you are hungry you better eat before you come here. I got the avocado roll which was good.

Nice little speakeasy. The entrance is unique and we loved the decor and vibe. The service was standard and the drinks & sushi were good but nothing to blow you away. Recommend they change to paper menus! The phone menu was hard to read and it took away from the ambiance they're trying to create.

I stopped of Wed night at 9:30 and they told me they were closing down no more sushi only cocktails. I really enjoyed my last visit but bottom line if it's raining they close super early. They say open till 11 but that's not true.

This is one of the best sushi spots and craft cocktail pairings in Southern California. Customer service, atmosphere and vibe is everything. The sushi is fresh, distributed from Japan weekly. Love my experience every time I go. Reservation only as well. Sushi Chef is from Tokyo as well. Highly recommended coming here.

Food was ok, overpriced. Service was horrible. New guy who was clueless serving. NO personality at all. The speakeasy was basic and frankly not a good atmosphere. I will not be going back here again, ever.

So I booked weeks in advance. Got there and most of the tables were open. The waiter said that the tables were only for three or more people ?? and that we have to sit at the bar. My question is the what is the point of booking?? While I was there someone did a telephonic booking and got a "normal" table. We were done in an hour and their was still open tables. Just very disappointed when you are expecting excellent service, and this is the first date night my husband and I have done in a while.

Incredible food, incredible experience. My girlfriend and I went and had an amazing Friday night filled with incredible food, upbeat conversation with the chefs, amazing cocktails, and a transformative ambience. Highly recommend - don't let the few poor reviews fool you 10/10. Pro tip: go to lost inferno speakeasy downstairs first for a pre meal drink

It was really good, the portions were a little smaller than I expected but the flavor was nice, it was good quality, drinks were amazing, ambiance was excellent. Definitely will go back
This is a cute hidden sushi speakeasy! I first saw on Instagram and it looked interesting so my gf and I met up to check it out. We are happy to report we will be definitely going back! It's ambiance was nice and the sushi was soo fresh and tasty. I had a cocktail and it was perfect! See photos Thank you

The hand rolls are delicious and the drinks were stellar. Hands down the best old fashion I've ever tried. The ambiance is very cozy and you can actually have a conversation. I can't wait to return and bring my family.

No phone number to call and ask a question. No one responds to my messages. They want credit card info to reserve a table for 2. Yeah...it's a no for me. Maybe if they decide to communicate better I'll give it a try sometime. **UPDATE** we decided to stop by last nite to see if we could get a table. Unfortunately we could not be seated for dinner as we had our 17 year old son with us. THIS IS A 21 AND OVER only establishment. They don't mention that here on Yelp! so be forewarned. If you make a reservation with your credit card and show up with someone under age in your party you'll be out of luck.

This establishment was magnificent. Food was fabulous; service was clean, sharp, and timely. Space was effective for long communication. Such an exquisite spot with top quality fish and creative cocktails. The passion for food and drink here is evident.
