50 Best Sushi Bars near Venice

“Food was great but our server did not seem to care that we were there. The only time she came to our table was when we initially sat down and when we had to ask for our check. Unfortunate because I usually love Wabi and had friends in town. Their only comment that it was one of the worst serving experiences to date.“

“Truly my favorite dining experience on Abbott Kinney. Venice was in desperate need of a GREAT sushi spot and this is our answer!!! The staff is SO friendly and warm and the atmosphere and bar are incredible. We’ve made this our favorite special date night spot and look forward to it every time!“

“Not fully Japanese kinda sushi spot, but been around for several decades. Solid. Sushi was good. Fresh, tasty. Hand rolled spicy tuna was just average. Best one in town is at Matsuhisha. Tempura was ok, best part is th fresh wasabi. Super tasty.“

“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 ???“

“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 :)“

“I don't write Google reviews but I had to because this is the best establishment I've ever eaten at. The service was excellent. The staff was kind, checked on us just the right amount, and had baskets that sat beneath the table so purses didn't sit on the floor. The cut salmon sushi roll was fresh. The fish and chips were the best I have ever had in my life. The fries weren't crisp but the flavor made up for it. If I was from here, I would never shut up about this place. But since I'm not, a passionate Google review will have to do.“

“It's a great place to take someone you are trying to impress. Everything there is beautiful.“

“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!!“

“We had a good dinner here. We ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, salmon sushi, mixed tempura, spicy tuna roll and a rainbow roll. Everything was very good. The seafood was fresh and had great flavor. We really have no complaints regarding the food. Our server was lovely and they were very attentive. The downside - it's definitely on the expensive side and the atmosphere is okay.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar in Marina Del Rey, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we felt welcome throughout our visit.

The menu at Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar is extensive and offers a wide variety of options, catering to both sushi enthusiasts and those who prefer cooked dishes. We started with the Garlic Edamame, which was perfectly seasoned and a great way to kick off our meal. The highlight, however, was the sushi. The Spicy Tuna Roll and the Yellowtail Carpaccio were absolute standouts. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced and delicious.

One of the unique features of this restaurant is their sake selection. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us choose a sake that perfectly complemented our meal. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.

The ambiance is trendy yet intimate, making it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The outdoor seating area is a nice touch, offering a pleasant view and a relaxed vibe.

Overall, Nonstop Sushi & Sake Bar exceeded my expectations. The combination of high-quality food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit in Marina Del Rey. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon“

“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“

“Great location, excellent service and flavorful menu. We came for lunch and it did not disappoint.

Eggplant unagi nigiri- tasty and loved the texture
Black garlic tofu- filling
Spinach mushroom quesadilla-tasty, and very satisfying.

We would definitely return. Plenty of options on their left for me to try.“

“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.“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

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

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

“Sunday brunch was amazing. the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were some of the best we have ever had. the location is ideal definitely get an ocean facing room. The staff catered our every need. We haven't even checked out yet and I believe we're about to book our next stay.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“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%!“

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

“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!“

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

“Went to my chiropractor on Beverly and had a hankering for Sushi for lunch. Took Melrose on my way back and stumbled upon this place. Four different types of lunch specials for $17.88. A steak I say! Great service, clean and fun/funky environment, and fresh sushi at the right price! If you’re shopping on Melrose, give em a try!“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“We had a delicious, incredibly fresh and expertly prepared omakase menu. The restaurant owners are also the fish wholesalers which allows for high quality imported fish from Japan at a fair price. Rounding out the experience, was the welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Very excited to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“Everything is delicious. Never have I had a subpar meal. A+“

“Great food. Fast service.“

“I had lunch there twice this week. The food is excellent. The fish is very fresh, specials are unique and delicious. Baked green lip mussels were amazing, baked black cod hand roll in soy paper was terrific. When I’m back in town I will be there again. My office is around. The corner.“

“Best sushi anywhere! Been going to Sasabune for decades.“

“Just different sushi combos. The garlic edamame were fair, but everything else was delicious“

“Great sushi place. Did one of the several course tasting options.“

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

“Truly, the best place in the area to have sushi if you wanna have authentic sushi with high-quality grade that reminds you of Japan, you should come over here, Very intimate perfect for dating and also just to go grab a bite. The stuff are very nice too ?❤️‍?“

“Fast service. Fresh fish.“

“This place was definitely a place I was a little sketched out to stop by, but the reviews convinced me otherwise. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS! I have lived in Santa Monica for 2 years now and this was my first time - some of the best food I have eaten since living in LA. Very fresh fish and unique flavor profiles. I got the Alaskan spicy roll and it was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend!!! The gyoza was also phenomenal - very flavors and the sauce was awesome! I will definitely be ONLY going here for sushi moving forward!“

“The service is on point and the food selection is perfect for a variety of hunger levels. From nigiri to udon (curry udon has stellar flavor for vegetarian or non-fish-lover friends), I haven't found a single thing to complain about. I visit LAX every few months and look forward to the next dish I get to try out next.

Vegetarian options: Curry Udon was delicious.“

“Most definitely the best sushi I've had in years. My wife and I had Omakase for my birthday. Outstanding service -- they kindly accommodated our dietary requests. The presentation was masterful and the executive chef beautifully explained his artistic creations. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely go back again to enjoy the chef's craftsmanship and to enjoy a truly authentic sushi kaiseki experience.“

“This place is the closest to an authentic japanese omakase experience I’ve gotten ever in LA. If you have visited Japan and miss it, this is the place to go. The humbleness of the space and servers is just the japanese way of doing things. There is a beautiful snippet of a view from the restaurant as well. We sat down at a table but I would rather go there as two people and sit at the bar to watch the chefs prepare the food. Delicious. Taking pictures is forbidden.I let them now I wanted less rice because of my health condition which made some of the cuts of meat smaller too but the delicacy was so good, that I really didn’t mind it.There is parking down which is only 12$.“

“Chef Yamamoto has a beautiful story to tell and his food reflects it. Thank you so much for the most memorable experience. This used to be Chef Urasawa’s space and it has been preserved. I was so pleased to see that the special wood countertop has not been changed. The food is very special but the alcohol pairing is even more special. So if you are planning to come here, make sure you get the alcohol pairing. It elevates the food to a whole different level. The chef and the staff are extremely gracious and that makes for a phenomenal experience. The Sake is some of the best I have ever had. We started the food with a beautiful barbecued smoky tilefish in a homemade tortilla. It was absolutely delicious and it set the tone for the entire meal. Some of the highlights were the Astrea Caviar Toro, the abalone soup which came after the Awabi-abalone, the kegani-hairy crab, uni-sea urchin, and the A5 Wagyu beef was the most phenomenal beef I have ever had. I was concerned that the food would not be enough to make us full but to my surprise, by the end of the meal we were pretty full. My husband does not enjoy sake so they recommended different wines that he really enjoyed. This was a very expensive dinner, but this is a once in a lifetime experience. I would only ask that chef Yamamoto adds to the courses to justify the price. I highly recommend this restaurant for a very special evening.“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“My friend lives in LA, so I visited him.
The salads, rolls, and sushi were all delicious.
Really recommended 😳😳😳
A role that Japanese people never have!
Salmon skin salad is also the best ☺️🫶🏻“
