“Absolutely amazing menu and very accommodating people, and it’s very affordable and mostly delicious 😋.“

“This is place is fantastic! It is such a unique experience, the food is delicious, fresh and so satisfying. We ate our food so quick that i didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything else we ordered.My husband and I have been coming here since late 2000's and so happy to support his business for many more years ❤️“

“best rolls in the Valley don't go anywhere else“

“Has the best poke around the area by far! Tried another poke place near there and instantly regretted it so if you’re by the area always pick this place! They offer really good portions and the fish is always good. The only complaint is now they’re offering a coffee and matcha and if you don’t know how to make it just don’t sell it. Got the ‘matcha’ iced latte and was served a glass of milk with green tint it was just sad. Who orders matcha to drink a glass of whole milk?“

“Super delicious and they are always so kind ! I tried the red curry and it was so rich in flavor and you choose your spice level .

Kid-friendliness: They actually have kid plates and little cups for your toddler ! I really love this place .“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“Incredible service from Adam and the rest of the team. There is an open kitchen showing everything being prepared right before you. I was especially surprised at how quickly the dishes were coming out. The hand rolls were incredible and the most delicious specials! Honourable mention for the Mochi, a must try! Honestly some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! 100% would recommend ???“

“This is absolutely my favorite sushi restaurant in LA and I have been back now 10 times. I have lived here for 3 years and was looking for a fresh, well made sushi joint and finally found it. The owner is so kind and welcomes you upon walking in. I always get the miso soup, crispy rice and albacore fried onion roll. Everything is cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The ambiance is lovely with 1950s jazz playing and quick service. I cannot give this restaurant enough praise. Highly recommend!!“

“Came back here second time and again was so impressed by the service and hospitality. The owner of always there and makes sure everyone’s happy. Great food, so fresh it melts if your mouth!! Can’t wait to come back! Very fair prices by the way.“

“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.“

“Come here for happy hour! Mad we missed it by a half hour. Happy hour 5-6 and 8-9. Most of the rolls and apps and drinks are on the happy hour menu at a very discounted price. Rolls on happy hour are like 13 instead of 18 or 19.

The edamame app was huge, plenty to share. We were 3 and couldn’t finish it. And it was super fresh with a good amount of salt on it which I like. The rolls were fresh and delicious. I liked the shrimp tempura and ultimate salmon roll. The garlic ninja roll was good too. Those were my favorites. The salmon crunch roll was too spicy for me. The plum wine was very sweet. The matcha beer just tasted like beer but was colored green. I guess there was matcha in there too but I didn’t taste it.

It was quiet on a Monday night. I made a reservation but didn’t need to. Very casual place and wait service was very friendly. Lots of robots also roaming the street and picking up orders :)“

“Omakase by Osen , a traditional Japanese dining experience where the chef selects the dishes for you, offers a truly unique and personalized approach to sushi and Japanese cuisine. This restaurant brings the authentic art of omakase to life, and it's clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft.
From the moment you step inside, Omakase by Osen exudes a warm, minimalist ambiance with a modern twist. Soft lighting, wood accents, and clean lines create an inviting, intimate atmosphere that feels both high-end and welcoming. The staff are professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of the ingredients used. They are eager to explain each dish and offer pairing suggestions, which enhances the experience for diners unfamiliar with Japanese culinary traditions.
The food is, without a doubt, the star of the show. The menu reflect the freshest, in-season ingredients, and the chefs craft each dish with precision and care. The sushi is exceptional,each piece is an artful masterpiece. The fish is impeccably fresh, often sourced directly from top-tier fish markets, and the rice is perfectly seasoned. Highlights include buttery, melt-in-your-mouth toro, delicate sea bream, and rich uni. The accompanying garnishes and sauces are thoughtfully balanced, never overpowering the natural flavors of the seafood.
Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine.“

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“we went there for a quick bite and some drinks, our bartender Wyatt was so lovely, he turned my vegeterian friend to a pescetarian! he recommended the octopus, which we both really loved. the atmosphere was great too, definitely worth a try!!“

“Excellent food with great selection, pleasant atmosphere that allowd a conversation and an excellent server who was prompt and genuinely nice.

“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.“

“Leo is the best chef. So kind, personable, and knows his sushi. He makes just about everything from his ginger to his soy sauce from scratch even though he’ll tell you, “no soy sauce” for most of the sushi that comes as it should be eaten. Best sushi restaurant on Ventura Blvd by far. Make sure to try his dry aged fish!

Parking: There are a few spots behind the restaurant.“

“Probably the best Sushi/Sashimi place in Los Angeles.
I know fresh and quality sashimi/sushi and this probably the freshest I've seen in a long while. The owners are super sweet, top notch service and the restaurant interior is so clean and comfortable. Again the quality of the fish was above the norm.“

“Amazing food and service, chef Hilo made my experience feel like I was truly understanding each bite I took into my food. Amazing atmosphere“

“worth the price. 20 courses of fish all delicious. i’d say it’s the correct amount of food. sometimes i go to fine dining and im hungry after, but here i was satisfied.somewhat cramped seating. avoid if your a large individual. people wore nice clothing, not overly fancy but business casual.“

“Lovely spot for Sushi, very elegant and chic. I definitely enjoyed the sushi tasted very fresh and had that silky taste to it. It was also my first time trying the purple flowers I forgot the name but they were delicious. I'm unsure if its very busy but it looked almost empty when we arrived very calm and pretty. The little shopping center outside was also fun.

Dietary restrictions: Has gluten free options and others.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“I pop in here probably once a week sometimes twice for a glass of wine. The bartenders are very cheerful and informed with respect to varieties and flavors and all the jazz. They walk you through the options and make tip top recommendations. The place is always slammed at night, yet the manager is extremely accommodating and always finds a place for me to chill and savor the weekend ambiance. I’ve never had their food, but it looks delicious. All the servers are friendly and have excellent people skills. The outdoor space is a fun hang too if you have a group. I always feel spoiled here. 5 star experiences.“

“The fish is always very fresh and their pricing is great. I recommend the sushi lover!
Tony is very nice and always provides great customer service. I try to not use plastic and create trash, so I ask them to put my to-go orders in their paper containers (instead of the ones with plastic lids) and he always accommodates.
I recommend this place and like that they, overall, use less plastic than some other places (but would love to see them use even less).“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience with Chef Take! Truly a unique experience in the historical method and style chef prepares his experience.“

“Dr Dre and Andersen Pak restaurant. Sign me up! The service and atmosphere were great. We ordered alot of food and got to try alot of different things. Some were great like the wagyu beef and others were just OK which is why I gave it 3 stars. It's probably closer to 4 considering the service was great. Drinks were good also. I will admit in not a sushi person so I only tried one piece of sushi and it wasnt for me.“

“Great 🍣 sushi and the employees are super friendly! Been coming here for years.“

“There are so many sushi places in Studio City. This is just inside Sherman Oaks by one block, on Riverside, so it's a real neighborhood place. The food is great. Truly homemade. Everything is fantastic. The host, Ben, is stellar. Kind, attentive, and very helpful and knows the cuisine. A great place ... and our secret, okay?“

“Great sushi.Hits the sweet spot between the fancy, super high priced sushi and the lower end, bare bones (but still not cheap) sushi.Excellent quality fish with creative garnishes, and large portions. We tried only one special roll and it was sensational. Unlike many large rolls at other places, all the individual components stood out. (Often, I find these big rolls essentially interchangeable.)Not a cheap meal, but great cost to value ratio.Bryant is a terrific, enthusiastic server.“

“Love this little nook, the service was great very friendly and accommodating. Would love more vegan/vegetarian items but the items they had were delicious and they made modifications for us. Love that it's small and intimate but if it were bigger I wouldn't mind.“

“Wonderful sushi spot. Plenty of parking & a great place ro dine with friends.“

“super fresh of fish and peaceful interior“

“We had a very nice dinner here. It was highly recommended by a friend. It is a cute little place that fills up quickly. We ended up sitting outside with some heaters, which was quite nice. We tried the Brussel sprout appetizer, and it was excellent. We ordered the Asian roll, the lobster tempura roll as well as the soft shell crab roll. All were very good. The negima, which is chicken on a stick, was very tasty. We finished with mochi, which was perfect.“

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

“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!“

“We really enjoyed our dining experience at Kenbey. The sushi is fresh and you can tell the chef cares about each piece he serves. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of 3 things. The first is that I didn’t like the sauce that came on the hirame and the sauce on the albacore with the slice of garlic. Second, we tried the Hokkaido uni, it was a very dark orange (so not the freshest - we should have gone with the Santa Barbara uni) and so bland and flavorless. Third, for the prices they could add some decoration.
I would still recommend trying Kenbey. The service was excellent and overall pretty good!“

“Amazing spot! Will be back for sure!!“

“I never leave reviews, but as someone who loves sushi and has eaten at most of the restaurants and hole in the walls in the valley — this place is hands down at the top. The atmosphere isn’t fancy, more casual, but the happy hour deal and the quality of the food is solid. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more lovely. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a casual date night or if you’re craving some solo sushi time :)“

“Budonoki is a very special place. Food is innovative and exceptionally delicious. Wide assortment of flavors, ingredients and textures. We tried an assortment of plates and all were delicious. Excellent service. A warm and inviting environment where guests are treated like family.“

“Superb welcome ??
The place is very good and friendly.
We are fans of sushi and I can tell you: Here, they are excellent ?!!!
Unbeatable value for money!
The waitress has superb recommendations, the entire menu is mastered.
I recommend 1000%!“

“Chef Shin and his wife are phenomenal hosts. The full omakase is unique and beautifully presented by the chef. Furthermore, Shin does his best to impress every customer, while describing the dish and even showing pictures of the fish prior to preparing. The omakase fee is extremely competitive and the saki list is top notch. All items are seasonal and well chosen by the chef. You will probably taste some seafood that you have never tasted before. Please try Sushi Miyagi, and I guarantee that you will be booking another reservation right after you leave.“

“Haru is a hidden secret.... Premium quality sushi without the fuss of the popular "high-end" places. Follow their social media stories and you'll see how they break down beautiful, sourced cuts of fish themselves... Mouth watering and beautiful presentation.

We try to order directly when they can (rather than through apps) when we can in order to support them.“

“The line can get super long but the wait is worth it. Restaurant does get crowded however it’s a well-functioning place, everyone works together and makes the business flow through super efficiently. Food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Exceptional, rarified traditional Èdo Maè Sushi where the ultra high quality and specialized seafood from mainly Japan is emphasized by the Japanese chef with years of experience at his craft.

If you come expecting Sushi rolls with inferior fish decorated by nuance destroying squiggly of mayonnaise, Sriracha, sweet eel "sauce", you will be disappointed. Truly for discriminating Sushi gourmands who are willing to pay the price of entry.“

“OTTO SUSHI was amazing their portions were generous but not huge so you know they weren’t prioritizing quantity over quality. Our order consisted of the chicken teriyaki bento box, eel avocado roll, and the garlic yellowtail roll i believe that was the name…everything was delicious but my favorite had to be the Garlic roll, the use of garlic chips unsparingly was the star of the show. We will definitely be back!“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“I love the owner Wendy .The food is amazing s a Mx drinks are organic ;)“

“Excelente lugar... muy buena experiencia atención increíble!“
