“La comida está muy buena. Y la atención excelente y rápida.“

“I love the food. My husband and I had a wonderful time at the restaurant. The service was great. The atmosphere very friendly. The all employees are very polite and friendly. Next time we bring our family. I am higly recommended. Thank you for you serves“

“This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.“

“Wonderful experience. The chef was friendly and entertaining and prepared the most beautiful omakase for us. I keep ingredients- kosher and the chef was easily able to create a menu of only fish with fins and scales for me on advance request. He was careful about cross contamination too.“

“No frills, just quality fish and preparation with attentive and personalized service. The owner and only employees are a lovely husband and wife who put their all into their quality menu and a personalized touch with customer service. I wish every small business was this great. Highly recommended!“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

“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“

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

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

“I took 4 of my closest friends here this past weekend. We sat from 12:30-3 and had a blast. The food is incredibly fresh and tasty and the customer service was crazy good! Very warm, welcoming, hospitable, and funny! One server played a few tasteful jokes on our table. Just a really great experience. We would have stayed but they break at 3. 10/10!“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

“This was our third time dining at Eigikutei and we were just as pleased this time as we were with our maiden experience. We were favored with our personal favorite of the sushi kaiseki Yawaragi (10-piece sushi). All the separate elements of the course melded perfectly for our palette. The service was attentive and on que with our pacing of eating. And the ambience was quiet serenity. We highly recommend dining at Eigikutei for any fine dining connoisseur!“

“Love this place .. the staff there is so friendly It’s amazing they make you feel so welcomed and the food is so fresh.“

“Finally tried this hand roll spot and it did not disappoint. Came during peak hours and waited a bit, but totally worth it. We ordered the 2person combo and everything was super fresh. The rice was perfectly seasoned and slightly warm, the nori was crisp, and the uni hand roll was outstanding — easily one of the best I’ve had. The soy marinated shrimp was also a standout. Small but stylish space, great quality overall. Would definitely come back!“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“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.“

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

“Best dining experience in a long while!!!
The people are soooo happy, the atmosphere is chill.
The food is top notch and you don’t have to take out a second mortgage to afford it. You can’t get enough!!!
We live in Orange County and it’s worth the drive!!!“

“hi everyone this spot is absolutely phenomenal so so so so good. My tastebuds where jumping in my mouth everyone and service is so good for sure the best sushi I've ever had so worth it everyone is so nice and the desert was so good.

I got loco loco roll
and bakes Samon roll
and fried bananaas with ice cream
best decisiona of my live thank you so much to the team that served us tonight !!!!“

“Finding 715 Sushi already feels like part of the experience. You wait outside a gated wall, slightly unsure if you’re in the right place.

The omakase itself is incredibly. Every piece was fresh out and balanced. What stood out to me most was the rice, seasoned with a blend of soy sauce and rice vinegar rather than just vinegar alone. It gave the nigiri a more savory backbone. Nothing tasted rushed or careless; each bite felt deliberate.
The dish I haven’t stopped thinking about was the chestnut egg dish (likely kuri tamago). It was absolutely stunning! Soft, subtly sweet, and nutty. The flavor balance was beautiful and unexpected, and it ended up being the most memorable bite of the night for me.

Service was attentive when it came to refilling drinks and tea. The staffs were polite and accommodating. This experience was very thoughtful, refined, and well worth the drive.“

“I love this place for at least 3 generations my family has been coming here. It makes me think of my grandmother as this was always a treat me and her would go and get just the two of us and share with no one else. It was like our place and being a family and seeing a family and speaking like family all my life I just love this place. I always want 16-20 pieces half and nori and inari.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Unsure initially but after reading reviews convince to visit and after ordering fully engulfed! I had the Red Dragon Roll, loved it! My son had the crunchy roll. And then I tried the beef bowl. Delicious. Vert flavorful. And the best part about this spot is that it’s not in the crowed Dtla area. It’s on Cesar Chavez and with plenty of street meter parking. Very manageable. I will be back.“

“Excellent! Totally lives up to the hype. Every dish we had was delicious but the salmon sushi, sweet potatoes and salmon collar were the standouts for me. Only thing I think they could work on is the space— tables set between breaks in the booth, air conditioning that turns the food cold quickly, blindingly bright neon lights. It could just be a bit more comfortable. Still, highly recommend!“

“The food conveyor belt is efficient & user friendly. The food itself is good, with a few caveats. In the mood for nigiri & sashimi? This is the place to get it conveniently and with good quality. In the mood for rolls that aren’t your basic California/tuna? This place will disappoint. But, they also have great dessert! The yuzu cheesecake is SO good. It’s really only 4 stars because of the rolls being so lackluster. They also only do brown rice which is fine I guess but not preferred.“

“Came to L.A for a quick trip, and stopped here for lunch, best decision ever!!!

The menu was huge. I tried the carpaccio and ceviche, and would have gotten 5 more plates of both if I could! The workers were very kind & helpful . The atmosphere was also peaceful. Would recommend 👍“

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

“Truly an unmatched dining experience for us. Everything is worth it. I wish I had remembered that we could bring our own sake/wine for a corkage fee, but the sake we had there was wonderful. It's amazing to see so much of the hard work that goes into the art of making delicious omakase up close, and the chefs make you feel welcome and special from the first moment.“

“This place is very chill and clean, with a self-serve bar for miso soup, ginger, wasabi, tea, and water. But I'm stopping in the middle of eating to write this review specifically because this is the best nigiri I can ever recall having!“

“Ive been eating here since it opened. The sushi is always fresh tasting. Great portions for the price. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Fast service I will definitely recommend Sushi n go!“

“This is our favorite restaurant and has been from first visit. Just finished dining a 4th time now. Only a couple of restaurants stand up to the test of time like this. Chef also provides a relaxed yet personable approach that meets you where you are. Truly an experience to savor both in food and company.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant twice now, and both visits were enjoyable. I tried the hot sake, the salmon and California roll bento set, and the teriyaki beef plate. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the dining experience even better. Overall, it’s a great spot for a satisfying meal and a relaxed atmosphere—I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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!“

“The atmosphere inside is friendly and comfortable. They greet and say goodbye to every customer, paying individual attention to each visitor. The chefs are professionals. The food is incredibly delicious with subtle Japanese touches. I highly recommend it, and if you've never been to Japan, this place will help you imagine yourself in this beautiful Asian culture!“

“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.“

“Sushi Palace is one of those places that quietly overdelivers.

From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone. The neon lighting, the modern decor, and the overall vibe make it feel like an ideal date night spot without trying too hard. It’s stylish but still comfortable, which is harder to pull off than people think.

Now to the food.

The quality of the fish is immediately noticeable. The sashimi is clean, properly cut, and incredibly fresh. You can see it in the color and texture before you even taste it. The salmon had that rich, buttery finish you look for, and the tuna was vibrant and smooth with no metallic aftertaste. This is fish that’s clearly handled with care.

The sushi rice was seasoned well and balanced, not overly sweet or vinegary. That detail alone separates good sushi from average sushi. Presentation across the board was thoughtful without being overcomplicated. It looks beautiful, but more importantly, it tastes right.

Another thing worth mentioning is value. For this level of quality, the pricing is more than fair compared to other restaurants serving comparable sushi and sashimi. You’re not paying inflated “scene” prices here.

If you’re looking for a strong date night sushi spot with high-quality fish and a cool atmosphere, Sushi Palace deserves to be on your list. This is a place that focuses on freshness, execution, and experience.

I’ll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“I recently visited this sushi spot and ordered the yellowtail sashimi, albacore sashimi (the one topped with fried onions), edamame, spicy tuna, sticky rice, a cucumber roll, and the Bulgogi fries. Everything was delicious and came out quickly.

The staff was attentive in the best way—checking in at the right moments and making sure I had everything I needed without ever feeling intrusive. Great service and great food.

Overall, both the staff and the dishes deserve an A+. Highly recommend!“

“Perfect rainy day vibes in LA. ☔️ The atmosphere here is incredible, and pairing their exquisite, high-end sushi with Hot sake was the highlight of my day. Everything tasted as beautiful as it looked. Truly a premium dining experience! 🍶🍣“

“super fresh of fish and peaceful interior“

“AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ Plus First time and will definitely come back“

“To be honest, we weren't sure about a Sushi place in Norwalk but this place was AMAZING. Everything was top notch. There was a line when we got there, so that was a positive sign. The staff was friendly and courteous. Every dish, the Miso Souo, the Sashimi, the Teriyaki Chicken, all of it was full of flavor. Nothing was lacking. This is a place the we will be revisiting often.“

“Quality fresh sushi, creative to. I wish they deliver to Santa Monica , but I will pick up :)“

“EXCELLENT!!! we will definately be back!!“

“Amazing joint To eat celebrate enjoy company“

“It was my first having actual sushi because I'm very picking with texture. I ended ordering the eel, squid and octopus sushi and honestly it was super good! Our waitress was super friendly and nice. Came from TikTok and I definitely will say it was worth the try.“

“This place is one of my all time favorites, I found this place almost 3 years ago. I continue to dine here along with my family. The servers are very polite and always on the go. Huge selection to choose from, made fresh when you order it. Never sitting around like buffets. 👍🏻 Highly recommend this place for the price,flavor and ambiance.“

“By far the best sushi I’ve ever had! The quality here is unmatched—the sushi is extremely fresh and cannot be beat. I ordered the Rainbow Roll, and it was made to absolute perfection with beautiful presentation and incredible flavor.

Not only was the sushi outstanding, but the Udon noodles were unbeatable—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This place really delivers on taste, quality, and overall experience.

I will definitely be back in the future. If you’re a sushi lover, Sushi Island is a must-try!“
