As a Michelin winner, Omakase sushi experience wS nothing but disappointment. Their service is the worst I ever had. As Omakase, they don’t give us menus, but servers made multiple… not only name of sushi fishes were wrong, but when they said Vegetarian dumplings, they were fish and shrimp dumplings instead… too many mistakes on their foods they serves on the course.
The word part was that they gave us a slice of cake with tip of cake missing as if someone ate it. When I asked them to give us new piece, they gave us so much excuse, which I was amazed.
I was very excited to try Michelin Peruvian Sushi restaurant, but truly their services are the worst I ever experienced

We ordered two appetizers, some sushi, and two entrées. The appetizers (Corn Tempura and Oxtail Bao) were an excellent start. For sushi, we tried the salmon, scallop, and two blue crab hand rolls. The salmon was unfortunately very fishy and honestly less enjoyable than the cheaper Sushi Stop across the street. The scallop sushi was outstanding and easily some of the best I have had. The blue crab hand roll was also very good.
For entrées, we had the Udon Cacio e Pepe and the Uni Pasta. The udon was not bad, but it felt simple and underwhelming for the $33 price tag. It reminded me of something I could make at home with store-bought noodles and parmesan. If it were priced closer to $18, I would consider ordering it again, but not at this level.
The Uni Pasta was the biggest disappointment. It came with only a few small pieces of uni, the pasta felt basic, and it was underseasoned to the point where it lacked depth and flavor. At $60, it fell far short of expectations.
For two people, with just a couple of appetizers, a few pieces of sushi, and two entrées, the bill came to $230. At that price point, I expected a memorable and elevated dining experience, but the food did not deliver.
The restaurant has a great atmosphere, easily a 10/10, but unless the food improves or the pricing comes down, it is hard to recommend.

Not only is the food great, and the inside of the restaurant stunning - the owner and staff are just the best! We had a graduation dinner of 40 people scheduled for a dinner downtown that had to be canceled due to protests/curfew. We called last minute to see if Leona’s could take us. We got lucky since it was early it the week. The owner and his team jumped in to accommodate us and were so helpful! We got so lucky. Even though we were a last minute booking, they treated our large group with such care. The staff worked so hard and our evening was perfect! This place is a gem, not only for the fantastic food, but for the hard-working, kind-hearted folks working there. Thank you!

Always exquisitely delicious. You can always explore the menu and the kitchen always delivers sumptuous meals. Come with 2 or four it's not to be missed. This is why we love sushi in Los Angeles!

Food was good but I went on Mother's Day and service was abysmal. If it weren't for the bussers I would've given the service no stars. I had to keep bugging the bussers because I couldn't find the server.

This was our first time at Leona’s Sushi House, thanks to a friend who suggested we meet there—and honestly, we fell in love with the place right away. The vibe was just right—relaxed but lively—and we scored the best seats in the house, right by the open-air window on Ventura. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to people-watch and soak it all in.
Our server was very friendly and made us feel at home. She even joked about losing her voice at the Beyoncé concert she’d just taken her daughters to—definitely a fun icebreaker.
We all went for the Omakase, and it was such a treat. It kicked off with a mushroom miso soup, then halibut sashimi topped with truffles (so good), followed by a couple of trays of assorted nigiri, and then a crab handroll. Even though we were stuffed, we couldn’t resist dessert, so we shared the chocolate lava cake, and banana puff pastry, and brought the caramel flan home.
All in all, it was an awesome night—great food, great company, and a place we intend to visit again.

This is my #1 sushi spot. I love everything from the food, to the ambience, to the service. The chef is amazing on every single dish!!! I love coming back here and recommending this restaurant to all my friends

Wowzer, this place is worth LA traffic. They check all the boxes from traditional like toro, to fusion with oxtail bao and crispy rice. Miso mush is a must try. Atmosphere vibes are sold as can be. Come and enjoy.

Beautiful ambiance and delicious food. I loved the beet salad and the Leona‘s special roll and spicy albacore roll.  The crispy rice was really good too but you only get two pieces. Love that the patio is dog friendly.

I came to celebrate a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. The sashimi came relatively quickly since it doesn't take as long to prepare. We ordered bluefin tuna (7 pieces) and the hokkaido scallop (8 pieces). We also had a blue crab handroll which also came out pretty quick. The speciality rolls (8 pieces each) took a little longer to come, but tasted great when they came. We topped off the night with chocolate volcano after it. Overall, the vibes were great with the lighting making it intimate for those out at night. Definitely recommend for those looking for a change from all you can eat sushi and wanting to dine a little nicer than normal.
