“Bar Sawa is a total hidden gem—an intimate omakase adventure wrapped in speakeasy style. From the moment you enter the discreet entrance, it feels like you’ve stepped into a secret culinary world. The chef is a true artist: meticulous, passionate, and warm, guiding you through each course with care and storytelling that elevates the experience.

Every bite is exceptional—ultra-fresh fish, perfectly balanced flavors, and beautiful presentation that makes it almost too pretty to eat (but you will, and you’ll be glad you did). The service is attentive yet relaxed, striking the perfect tone for the cozy setting.

It’s rare to find a spot that nails atmosphere, service, and world-class sushi in one go, but Bar Sawa delivers across the board. A must for anyone who wants something unforgettable.“

“Delicious food at a reasonable price. I ordered one of the options with multiple handrolls and chefs were attentive enough that they never stacked up, but I somehow always had one in front of me. I'd passed by it without trying it before as we were meeting up with family at another place, but I'm glad we made it back here.“

“I'm town for LA ComicCon and did my usual research to scope out what's around and amongst the many sushi places near LA Live downtown, the reviews drew me to a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall place. It did not disappoint. I add my voice to those singing their praises. The place is small but the food is amazing. I was able to spend a few minutes chatting with the owners and they are wonderful people who you can immediately appreciate how much they are personally invested providing an amazing sushi meal and time permitting chat with you. Something we don't get enough these days. If you're into sushi and find yourself in downtown LA, this is a MUST visit location.“

“Sushi Takesa is truly one of the top omakase spots in town. The fish was incredibly fresh with a great texture, perfectly complemented by expertly prepared sushi rice. Every course was outstanding—each one thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The service was also exceptional, attentive without being intrusive. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be returning!“

“We ordered the Dine LA omakase sushi lunch which consisted of 3-course appetizer (jelly fish, steamed veggies (edamame, carrot and clam), okra, 10-course sushi, Chawanmushi (Japanese egg custard), miso clam soup and matcha mousse dessert. Presentation was exquisite and the sushi was of the highest quality. This was our second time to Eigikutei and we look forward to many more dining experiences at this very fine and peaceful establishment.“

“We came down from Texas and my my cousin recommended this spot(La Zona) so we came in and had good service, quik and friendly. The food was good. We had the h.p roll and the lobster popcorn roll send the H.P roll. Also the strawberry milk tea was good. Will forsure be back when in town again“

“I had an excellent experience at Sushi Gen! The service was amazing—the staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, high-quality sushi that exceeded expectations. On top of that, the restaurant was very clean and well-kept, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

Sushi Gen definitely lives up to its reputation, and I’ll be looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great sushi and great service!“

“Fabulous sushi with just enough flair to let you know that Chef Daniel-son has above average skills in areas other than sushi - he does a Saba sandwich on homemade milk bread, plus a shrimp stone pot fried rice in addition to sushi (at least as of this visit). Two seatings, the later one is more relaxed if you don't mind eating late. And the sake selection is excellent.“

“Super tasty! King Yubu is a little hidden gem kind of place. Really delicious Korean style sushi. Think like little pockets with all kinds of fillings on rice. I got the Signature King Yubu, the spicy pork belly and the unagi Yubu with a spicy tuna and tempura sushi roll. All really good we also tried the kimchi loaded fries really big portion definitely a shareable portion. It was corn cheese with kimchi on the seasoned fries you can get different toppings like fried chicken or bulgogi but just the fries by themselves were super good so we went without all the extra. Definitely coming back to try the other options on the menu looks like new updates and ideas coming to the menu all the time. Great job chef.“

“best japanese rich fllavors unique taste simple fresh and delish“

“The best sushi you can get in Los Angeles. It can easily hold its own against some of the best places in Japan. I love dining here and if you are fortunate enough to get a reservation I think you will have a great time. The food they make is certainly with a Japanese palette meaning that there are dishes presented here will not be all melt in your mouth fish that most Americans want. There will be a variety of tastes and textures. I love it, but I can see how some people may not love every dish.“

“They have the best rolls! Very reasonable price. We eat here & to go very often“

“The food was amazing. The sweet potato was something I never had in my whole life. I have been to 39 countries for work and have eaten so many foods and I have never tasted anything close to it. The aburi salmon was delicious as well. However the star of the show: Our server Nic. He was one of the best most down to earth servers I have ever had in my life. He was patient, recommended the best things on the menu including the sweet potato. And my glass of water was never empty. You would think going to a trendy restaurant that maybe there would be a stuck-up atmosphere. But no all the servers and waiters were extremely friendly. Although the sweet potato is not something I had before in my life, I think Nic was one of the best servers. I got. Although pricey it was worth any penny. We'll be back in a week.“

“Very hole in the wall sushi spot with a few unique items on the menu. I got their dragon roll and loved it. Their California roll was good but not my favorite. Overall, if you're in the area and need a sushi pick-me-up, like I did, this place does the job.“

“The place is nice and clean with really kind waiters and waitresses. the food is amazing and has a very nice veriaty of sushi, sashimi, and apparisers and sides. I would definitely recommend the ramen and takoyaki. would recommend to any one who likes sushi“

“During my trip to the U.S., the best food I had was sushi. The quality of the fish was exceptional, and everything from the appetizers to the dessert was perfect. You could really feel the care and high-quality ingredients in every dish. The service was also incredibly friendly. I enjoyed a delicious omakase with friends in a private room. If I ever travel to the U.S. again, I’ll definitely visit this place again. Highly recommended!“

“I mean, this is the besttttt handroll spot in all of Los Angeles. Cool unique hand rolls (like the same woo jang and banh mi) and premium rolls (uni, toro/caviar/uni). AND they give huge chunks of sushi. Since the seaweed layer is taken off when eating the seaweed is crispy while eating. The technology is giving! Honestly, IMO better than some of the big popular establishments around for hand rolls (IYKYK). Their to-go and delivery is not bad as well!“

“We ordered 5 different rolls. This is our new go to spot for to-go sushi. Everything was packed neatly and the presentation was excellent and appetizing. 10/10 quality and taste. We ordered the dragon roll, spider roll (omg so hard to come by), tempura and crunchy and salmon rolls. All left us satisfied . I recommend.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Sushi Time has officially become our new after-school go-to spot, all thanks to Mimi! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel like family—so kind, warm, and welcoming, with a sense of humor that instantly brightens your day. She has that rare gift of making you feel seen and cared for, which makes every visit special.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything is made fresh to order, with that perfect balance of quality and flavor that keeps us coming back. You can tell a lot of love goes into every dish.

Between Mimi’s amazing energy and the consistently great food, this place is a gem. It’s not just sushi—it’s a whole experience. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“Exceptional food! Hamachi collar, red snapper soup! And sushi. Authentic; which is why it was so good!“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“This is quickly becoming my favorite sushi spot in LA. Might be in the top 3 for best sushi I’ve ever had in LA. Not just because of the quality, but because it’s paired with the friendly and generous staff (complementary dishes!!), and the creativity that always gets it right. Everything is SO GOOD.

Highly recommend making this your go-to spot too… just save me a seat!“

“I came into Yuki Sushi in the Sheraton wanting Lychee Martini’s for a group of friends. Sean- the bartender- went to the hotel pantry and Googled a recipe to make us a round of Lychee Martini’s that were not on the menu. I applaud this outstanding customer service, and Sean for his initiative and time to do this for us. I am so impressed by the service at this hotel and we thank you Sean!!“

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!“

“My wife and I go here at least once a week. Everyone at sushi joint makes us feel like family. Great atmosphere with the freshest sushi around. Anytime we have friends in town we bring them here. Keep up the great work guys! See you again soon.“

“I am Korean and have been to many sushi, tempura, and omakase restaurants in Sapporo.
It's good here. It's good, but it's really crappy. It's no exaggeration to say that it's salt sushi. When Koreans go, please ask for a little less seasoning. Otherwise, you'll feel like you're eating from a soy sauce container.
And it's so, so, so cold. I'm not a neta, but I go to Michelin and pay $500, so I can't help but wonder why I'm shivering from the cold. And when I hold the nigiri, I don't know if it's a habit, but every time I hold it, I take a small amount of rice... a little bit from the nigiri. It feels a bit like an amateur. The fact that there were a lot of tsumami made was enough to give that feeling.
And the chef speaks a little Korean.
This business could get better if they just don't use Chrome Hearts chopsticks and show a little more consideration for their customers. The food was good, and except for the saltiness, the sushi and neta were good.“

“Great service, friendly staff and the owner, Paul, showed warm hospitality. The prices were great and the quality of the food will definitely have me going back!“

“1st time going was in the last hour of them closing and I was greeted as if they just opened ?? I have a date there this weekend and wanted to get an idea and was thoroughly impressed ?? Service was extremely helpful and excellent. The food was fresh and delicious ? I couldn't eat as hardly as much as I thought I would. Mimi is gonna love it ??“

“The service was professional and great. The staff are very friendly. Covid protocols are adhered to at the door. Temperature checks are required prior to entering the dining area. The food is excellent. If you love sashimi and sushi then you must visit.“

“Wonderful food and service in this casual setting. We walked in on a Friday night and got a table right away. They were happy to accommodate my picky guest's modification requests and the food was all fresh and prepared perfectly. Everyone was so nice and there are some rare and hard to find treats on the menu, highly recommended!“

“When you \\u0026 your friend feels like having a sushi on a hot sunny Saturday. What a surprise no waiting. Got seated right away. The host was friendly and service was fast. We ordered our hand roll and sashimi. Just good enough for our cravings. The place is clean and cozy. Keep up the good work.“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“a minimal seating and parking area; but amazing service, great atmosphere, and top-notch food! Sushi, soups, bento boxes, you name it! everything is fresh and made to order. I love this gem of a restaurant.

Parking: parking is limited due to it being in a small center.“

“Small, lowkey restaurant that has the best quiet and comforting atmosphere. They have origami all around the area and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much to Luke for serving us and making sure we had a great time; I loved the rainbow roll and mushroom bomb here!“
