“Always a pleasure. The hand rolls are simple yet delicious. In terms of freshness, the fish didn't blow me away, but the overall quality of the rolls is high. It was about $28 for 5 hand rolls, and I felt like I needed one more to be satisfied. They have several locations and I will definitely be returning.“
“Absolutely wonderful. It's refreshing to eat chicken katsu that's both juicy and has the perfect crunch on the outside. To make it better, it's curry compliment was bursting with flavor yet, it was not overwhelming. I think I got it medium for the spice level and it was perfect for me. I'll probably try to the spicer option when I go back. The chicken karage was also superb. The service was fast and the restaurant was very clean! I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu.“
“Shunji Japanese Cuisine located near Santa MonicaRun by husband and wife Shunii, both very talkative.They almost kept interacting with the guests throughout the dinner. VerykindThe Omakase set meal price is 280$/per. There are 26 noodles in total on the day.Tao is the most filling omakase I have ever eaten. Even the chef said itIndeed, I had a lot of courses that day, usually about 22 courses, and the price/performance ratio was super high!My favorite is tomato tofu and cod liver toast (Picture 56)Shirako sushi is also very specialThe other two performances were also on par. However, I may have eaten too much at the beginning and was a little tired and full at the end, which made the impression of desserts mediocre.I still love this place and will visit again.Next door, there is Shunji's apprentice Miki's omakase room. I heard that the styles and tastes are different, so you can try it out!Shunji Japanese Cuisine located near Santa MonicaRun by husband and wife Shunii, both very talkative.They almost kept interacting with the guests throughout the dinner.

“I visited this sushi spot with my spouse while exploring Santa Monica for the day. The fish was incredibly fresh and the service was great! Everything we ordered tasted amazing and we’re looking forward to the next time we can make it back.Parking: Parking is paid in a garage next door, but the restaurant covers half of the cost!“
“On a beautiful day or night walking down the Santa Monica pier, what more could you ask for than enjoying an equally beautiful and mouth-watering JAPADOG? Unparalleled taste, impeccable service, and wonderful atmosphere! If you’re in the area I would DEFINITELY recommend checking this place out and treat yourself to a special hotdog. I got the #5 Wagyu Beef Terimayo and it was absolutely delicious, 100% recommend.Kid-friendliness: Great staff working there creating a kid-friendly atmosphere! You can see them make the hotdogs right there in front of you too so it may make the experience even more special for them.Wheelchair accessibility: On the pier, easy to access“
“I was a little hesitant at first because of the higher prices for smaller portions, but I have to say the sushi here was amazing. It tasted so fresh, clean, and delicious. The staff were friendly too. They also surprised me with a free dessert for my birthday!“
“This was our first visit. Our family lives in Santa Monica, and they recommended this restaurant.It was by far the most authentic delicious cuisine.Really amazing flavors.We all ordered a entrée and sides to share.What a food experience!!!“
“This is our favorite sushi spot. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The food is fresh with generous servings. They offer a wide variety of sushi. They also have all you can eat and dinner combinations. Great deals on sake and beer, as well.“
“Been here a few times and this place is great. It's kinda small and quiet inside so it's good for a date or an intimate dinner. Baked salmon roll ?, rainbow roll ?, eel and avocado ? all bomb. 911 roll was mid . They only have Sapporo on tap but they have bottles of other beers. The only thing that sucks is the parking. Get ready to walk!“
“The food was delicious. We ordered the grilled Hamachi, tempura udon, and the highway 3 roll. The udon had a good amount of tempura and even 2 pieces of shrimp. I like how the tempura was served separately and not soaking in the udon. The grilled hamachi was plentiful (more like an entree than an appetizer) and delicious. And the service was excellent-- there were quite a few people in the restaurant that evening and the waitress did a good job of juggling all the tables.“
“The service was wonderful, we had a big party and came in about an hour and a half to close, the staff was so kind and gracious in letting us stay a little after close. Such wonderful prices for the quality and service, cannot recommend enough.“
“this is a great, casual place. there was tons of seating available in doors and outdoors on a beautiful weekend day during lunchtime. the prices are great and the bento box was such a slay. loved and will def be back. really enjoyed sitting on the patio on main street.“
“This place is so cute! The food is so good. I’m kind of poor so I can’t come here often. I walk by here every day and no one is inside. It makes me sad because you can tell the owners put so much love into this place. I’d hate to see it go. The sushi is fire and unique. You won’t regret trying to place. Praying for Keith Lee to come visit this place. ?? “
“My friend recommended this place to me and their menu is very large! I got their bento box for dinner and it was just perfect and so much food! Service was great! Very attentive and informative. Parking is however limited, they have a shared lot that is rather small. You can also find parking on the street with the meters. I will definitely be coming back for lunch!“
“As the name suggests, it's a 'self served' restaurant, food was great tho. Japanese is my least favorite Asian food. However, I really enjoyed the food. I may be wrong, but I didn't observe any Japanese person in the kitchen or receiving orders, though. I'm just one of these people who like to see the nationality of the restaurant that I visit.“
“I came here recently on a weekend, and there was a small group of people waiting outside for their orders. It took about 20 minutes but so worth it. We got the beef and chicken curry omusibi. They are filling & well worth the price of $4.95 each. The seaweed is perfectly salted and slightly crispy and they didn't skimp on the meat which I appreciated.“
