50 Best Sushi Bars near Venice

“This is my wife's favorite sushi spot. It's not traditional sushi more American style has a very cool vibe. The bar is pretty cool. A little bit pricey in the range of $25 to $30 per roll and you don't get too much food, but it's a great place to just chill out and grab a snack and have a drink“

“OWA Venice is an absolute gem — fun, stylish, and full of amazing people and energy. From the moment we walked in, we felt the vibrant atmosphere and were surrounded by beauty in every sense.

I have to give a special shoutout to Camila, who has been nothing but amazing since the days of Belles Beach. She continues to be the same incredibly kind, genuine, and radiant person. Seeing her again at OWA and experiencing her warmth made the night even more special.
And Amir, what an incredible host! He and Camila went above and beyond to make me and my friend feel welcomed and celebrated. Their energy, care, and attention truly made it a night to remember. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The best neighborhood sushi restaurant 🍣

I absolutely love Hama, and it’s made my top 5 list of recommendations for a few reasons.

A) The rolls are unique, and always fresh. You’re not going to have a bad bite here.
B) lots of ambiance and dining options. Dining solo, come. Date night, come. Large group, come. Hama has space and they use all of it very well. Just don’t be surprised if on a nice day you’re packed table to table on the side walk. Share a bottle of sake and have a few beers, this is the kind of place you can settle in and enjoy your time.
C) Esther, the owner, is the star. Personally greeting each guest, while keeping a watchful eye on the whole ship. She’s the heart beat. She is the conductor of good times, delicious Japanese bites, and a sanctuary so sacred you might even catch the rich and famous enjoying their time.

Highly recommend to anyone, for any occasion. This is a great LA restaurant!

“Fantastic quality and taste. This is hands down my new fave in LA for sushi. When they get their liquor license it'll be packed non stop. Really nice help and attention from the team. Try the inside out salmon roll, melts in your mouth!!!“

“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.“

“Not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Found this place about a year ago and every time we are in LA we make a point to come during happy hour and get their mountain roll & crispy spicy tuna. Service is wonderful and attentive. Sushi never misses. Always so fresh. 10/10 recommend!“

“Best seafood and Japanese food I've ever had in my life — not exaggerating. The freshest seafood you'll ever taste. I brought multiple people here and they agree I'm not exaggerating. The quality is unlike anything else in LA. Everything is incredible but the raw seafood gets the most special shoutout.“

“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!!“

“I have travelled to Japan 10x in 2 years, this is on par if not better food wise than any trip to Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto. The authenticity as it relates to the space, the chefs, even the toilet makes me feel like I’m thousands of miles away. You’d be doing yourself a disservice not coming here.“

“seats 10 for a personalized tour of sushi for the purist. exceptional style and quality of fish. superbly presented by a Michelin star chef on front of you. book far in advance“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“At this point, I've lost count of how many times we've been at Planta and I'm so glad that this restaurant has done so well. Menu standouts include the Unagi Eggplant, Red Dragon Roll, Mushroom Croquetas, as well as the Rosarita and Oaxacan Old Fashioned from the bar.“

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

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

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

“We went here for our wedding anniversary and we loved loved the whole experience! I’ve had many omakase before in LA, Toronto & Japan and this was top notch. I was obsessed with their pickled ginger as it appears to be house made. I would come back just for that! Just kidding but not really. We’ll definitely be back! I wish them continued success!“

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

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Great sushi place with high quality fish and great service. I would highly recommend the crispy rice with tuna and the Tuna Lemon roll. Fish was fresh and melted in mouth. The hand rolls and nigiri were also great, but I mainly struggled to enjoy certain cut rolls like the Moon Roll and Spicy Salmon roll. While they were still delicious, there was a little too much mayonnaise which made it hard to enjoy. However, other cut rolls, which are not as mayo dense, such as the Tuna Lemon roll, were incredible and flavorful. Overall, I would come back to try the sashimi and other hand rolls. But for the time being, other sushi places with similar price ranges provide equally as favorable rolls with less mayonnaise“

“The best omakase experience we’ve ever had so far! We were so impressed by the creativity of each dish. Every sushi was so well seasoned and each of them had such unique flavor and texture. The chef Shin introduced each type of fish to us with stories and pictures, making the whole experience even more special.

Thank you Sushi Miyagi for such a great meal and for hosting us with such great hospitality and friendliness. We will definitely come back!“

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

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

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

“Divine sushi Omakase premium experience with wine pairing !! Absolutely fantastic and memorable for a long time.“

“Okay wow!! I’ve ordered from 7455 almost every single night since I accidentally discovered it. The sushi is soooo fresh and absolutely delicious. I’ve been obsessed with multiple thins on the menu and everytime I get the order - a part that I love, is that the food is consistently the same. It’s the bomb. So happy I found this place. Delicious.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great creative sushi rolls. Excellent service.“

“The staff are always friendly and the food is absolutely delicious.
Every time we visit L.A., this is a must-stop spot for our kids.

We’re big fans of sushi and have tried omakase in many countries, but this place keeps coming back to mind. While the setting and atmosphere might not be the most fancy, the taste alone is enough to bring us back.

In fact, sometimes the small and humble vibe feels even more comfortable, which is why it works so well for our family. I have a feeling we’ll keep coming back every time we’re in L.A!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Very romantic ambiance and delicious food... loved all of our appetizers and our sushi was really nice. The salmon was like butter. The black sesame crème brulé is a must. The table next to us had a larger group and ordered a long dragon dish loaded with sushi .... Looked like fun Kelly was so welcoming and sweet!“

“Fast service. Fresh fish.“

“We’ve been coming to this sushi spot for over 15 years—and now we get to share it with our kids, who love it just as much as we do. It’s a small, cozy place with an inviting atmosphere that feels like home. The chefs are incredible—not just talented, but genuinely kind—and the service is always thoughtful and attentive. After all these years, it’s still our favorite. A true neighborhood gem.“

“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 ?❤️‍?“

“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!“

“Awesome !!“

“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.“
