PERMANENTLY CLOSED. 5 stars because I’m bummed that it closed. It was so good. RIP

This place is closed. It is now a pressed pizza place

Just lovely! This is one of the best places for sushi burritos I've been to and a great spot for locals. My friend got the poke bowl which tasted great as well. Fresh, delicious, yummy, what more can I say? There's an additional stand if you want to add on extra wasabi, kimchi, and ginger. Customer service is super friendly and they have a rewards program that you can sign up for. Parking can be found in the surrounding neighborhoods as well. All this in a fun, pink restaurant? Gotta love supporting a small business that provides a great neighborhood experience!

This place has really good "sushi burritos". It seems like a good way to get more fillings with less rice. The Tres Amigos is good.

This place is awesome!! The fish and veggies are really fresh. It’s a great healthy meal and the staff is very friendly. Staff was very good about any changes you’d like to your meal as well.

I just stuffed my face with this amazing delicious tuna bowl and still savoring every bite. This place is hands down my new favorite poke spot! Here's why... 1. Fast and friendly 2. So filling (like wow I'm stuffed) 3. So so reasonably priced 4. Clean and modern feel I love their GF options for Tamari instead of soy and for having a bomb GF spicy mayo! I also got to try their seaweed, edamame, mango, and homemade kimchi! I'm a big fan of kimchi and this one was so good and not so fishy like you get from Hmart and places that package it in huge quantities. It was just enough spice too. Literally can't wait for the next time I'm there! The place was also not crowded for a Saturday maybe because businesses surrounding are closed but I did see a lot of door dash and Uber eats pick ups. Highly recommend you try it.

Def exceeded my expectations. For 3 scoops of meat you're getting a lot for your buck and the quality is better than most. If you ever get a chance this spot is worth checking out

This place is amazing. The fish is really fresh and they're very generous with their proportions. They're very friendly and attentive to your requests. Will definitely be back again for more!!

First time I came a few months ago, the milk tea boba was good enough. Now, it just taste weird. What happened? And the employees are pleasant enough but they move sooooooooo slooooowwwwww...place just feels kinda dead every time I come for my boba tea fix. Today, I had enough. The milk tea I ordered tasted bitter and foul, shaking it helped integrate the taste a little, but then a boba would come in my mouth and it was super soggy like it was disintegrating, and not in a pleasant way. So I'm super disappointed because I needed the boost. Some people drink alcohol to down their sorrows. I drink boba tea. It's my drug of choice, aside from Lindt chocolate. I'm not even that picky. I just want a good basic milk green tea. But no more from BM. Just NO MORE. That's how bad the milk tea became in a matter of weeks. I feel sad.

I absolutely love their "Build Your Own Poke Bowl". They let you pick three proteins and you can pick a base. I usually go for the half brown rice and half salad. The portion sizes are really gracious as well. The only "negative" is that it is a bit expensive; however, every restaurant in Santa Monica is expensive. Would highly recommend!

Great sushi burritos. 3 amigos is just the right combination.

Great fresh food but they should really take the potstickers off the menu. They are frozen packaged potstickers from Costco that they sell at a premium. Not sure why they would do that considering all the other food seems fresh.

This place is place ssssooo good. I've only been once but can't wait to go back. Great food, staff, and prices

This review is just based on my first impression and customer service. I wanted to redeem the bogo deal and get one togo, but they didn't offer any ice for togo meals. It's raw fish...you'd expect that they give some ice on hot days like this in LA. I just left because the employees seemed like kids who didn't care. They had some friends over which is fine but it was the vibe and clueless response that made me not want to come back. The food looked so-so anyway and kind of empty from my side, not like at Lemonade where it's overflowing with food.

This place is alright for their sushi burritos-it's just expensive, nothing outstanding, and the milk tea is NOT good, lol. Came here very soon after it opened on a Sunday to try their Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito. It was $14. It was good, but wtf toooooo expensive! And I've had better sushi burritos at other places, so it was hard not to compare. I also checked in on Yelp for free avocado but the amount of avocado they put in was pretty small. I also got a free Thai milk tea for signing up for their rewards. It's usually $5- I would never pay $5 for their milk tea. They didn't even mix the non-dairy creamer in the drink before giving it to me so there was this big white powdery cloud sitting at the bottom of the cup - kinda unappetizing. Pluses: staff is nice, and they have a cool topping area of kimchi, wasabi, and ginger.
