50 Best Sushi Bars near Venice

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is great and the sushi is absolutely amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every roll we tried was delicious, and you can really tell they care about quality.

The only downside I can mention is the bathrooms. They’re unisex and were veryyy dirty when we visited, which was disappointing compared to how good everything else was.

Other than that, the food alone makes it worth coming back. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers!“

“My daughter turned 35 yesterday. Which means I went to Hama sushi 36 years ago. At that time my friend and I were pregnant and convinced ourselves hama sushi Tasted too good to contain any parasites.😄.

And so I was heartbroken to see that their exterior had been destroyed. Esther, I will be bringing by some shells and air plants today. Hopefully you will see that the neighborhood does not want you to get discouraged by the current conditions of our wonderful neighborhood.“

“While waiting outside for our table, we were greeted by the charming owner who offered us Prosecco to sip. This was just the beginning of a magical and ridiculously fun and luxurious evening at Owa. The service was perfect, the food was excellent, fresh and inventive. We never wanted to leave and we cannot wait to have the chance to come back. Fabulous cocktails also!“

“5 stars for the delicious and high quality sushi. plus i have a gluten allergy and the chef/ server was super considerate and knew exactly what needed to be modified. my favorites were the bluefin tuna nigiri and the yellowtail hand roll (with soy paper), and i don’t typically like yellowtail.

however, i did not realize there was a 16% service fee included in the bill. it says so on the menu so that’s my oversight but at kazu nori, for example, the server tells you not to tip because of the service fee. so on the little screen i tipped 20% on top of the 16% service fee and tax. it’s my bad for not paying closer attention but they don’t verbally tell you either.“

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods“

“Some of the best food ever!!“

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“Uchi is pretty decent. The vibe is cool trendy. Service was polite but felt bit rushed and not as personable.
Food-wise, nothing was terrible, but not mind blowing either. A couple of dishes were tasty, a couple were bland, the sushi rice is left to be desired.
Prices felt a bit high for an experience that screams ‘it’s fine. Not in huge rush to be back.“

“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.“

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

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

“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.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“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“

“Sushi n Matcha Sho is the BEST sushi in Los Angeles. Everything is so fresh and delicious and the quality is top tier every time I come in. From the miso soup to the specialty rolls, you can really tell how much care and pride is put into the food they serve.

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place by accident 6 months ago and it’s become our go to sushi spot. Despite living in Burbank, we try to make the trek to Sushi n Matcha Sho as often as we can.

Our favorites include the crunchy roll, rainbow roll, and the crunchy tuna rice, but the real star of every meal we have here has to be the Baked Crab Roll. The flavor is amazing, and the crab practically melts in your mouth. Additionally, the lemonade and matcha is to die for and pairs perfectly with anything you could order.

The staff is amazingly kind and the chef is an incredible talent, we love sitting at the sushi bar and watching him work anytime we come in.

If you’re looking for the best sushi in LA for a fraction of the cost of some of the other sushi spots in the city, Sushi n Matcha Sho needs to be the top of your list.“

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

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

“Hi I loves it thanks again so much“

“Hands down, this is the best vegan restaurant in Los Angeles. Delicious food with a rotating menu, beautiful outdoor seating looking over the Marina. I love bringing non-vegan friends and family here because they all leave happy Updated from previous review on 2026-04-20“

“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.“

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

“It’s not just a sushi restaurant.
Her entertainment is truly a form of Japanese art.

Enjoying sushi that melts so delicately, surrounded by the smiles of women, was an experience I had never had before.

Thank you! I’m already looking forward to the next time ♡“

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

“My dinner at Kanpai Sushi in Santa Monica was nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Yoshi is a true master sushi chef. While he may not be new to the craft, his skill, precision, and deep understanding of traditional sushi brought me back to a time when sushi was simply done right.

In fact, Chef Yoshi could probably serve me a shoelace, and it would be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.

Everything was exceptionally fresh. The wasabi had a vibrant freshness that elevated every bite, and the ginger practically melted in my mouth. I sampled as much toro as I could possibly eat, along with an incredible selection of fish that showcased Chef Yoshi’s mastery and attention to detail.

The Kumamoto oysters were so delicious they made me want to kiss my fingers and thank the heavens. The uni was phenomenal and remains one of my favorite bites of the evening. However, the biggest surprise was the seared salmon belly. It was my first time trying salmon prepared that way, and it absolutely blew my mind.

Instead of ending the meal with dessert, I finished with a hand roll that combined fresh tuna and crispy shrimp tempura, topped with eel sauce. The contrast of cool, fresh tuna and warm, crunchy shrimp tempura created an unforgettable bite and was a complete game changer.

I’ve been eating sushi since I was 18 years old, and now well into my 50s, I can confidently say this is the best sushi restaurant I have ever experienced. Beyond the incredible food, the staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely respectful throughout the entire evening.

I have officially found my favorite sushi spot.

Thank you, Chef Yoshi. I’ll be back very soon.

“A hidden gem! Very fresh and tasty“

“Peter is the best ! The omakase is excellent“

“Ok, this place is crazy good!
Totally worth the hype. It doesn't take reservations, so be prepared to wait, but the food is so worth it I can't even explain. Definitely the best sushi I've ever had.
We arrived relatively early, around 6:30 pm, and they told us there would be about a 1- to 1.5-hour wait for a table, but our table was ready within 45 minutes. It's small inside, nothing fancy. The food, though... omg! I would recommend getting in line and then going to do something else around the neighborhood, because otherwise, you'll just kind of randomly wait on the street. Definitely a must-try.“

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

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

“We had a great experience at our first time visit here. We celebrated my son's birthday and brought in a cake. The food was amazing except for the Alaskan salmon that they substituted from what we originally ordered. They have an all day happy hour on Monday to Thursday. The service was excellent and the servers even sang happy birthday when they brought out the cake. The place was nice and clean and it wasn't crowded when we dined. The only problem was the people on the next table were too loud and there was no wall dividing them to our table so the guy sitting behind my son's girlfriend keeps on bumping into her every time he moved. We will definitely go back here.“

“Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth Every Bite!

I recently visited this sushi spot, and I was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. The fish practically melted in my mouth — you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The rolls were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced with flavor and texture.“

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

“We come to Enya often, and love the food and vibe. The rolls are creative, the fish always fresh, and the chefs and staff are welcoming and attentive. One of our fave spots in Venice/MDR!“

“Great place!!! We had a wonderful evening with friends yesterday!!!! We will definitely come back here again!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌👌👌👌👌“

“Excellent food. ambience is also very good. we had udon noodle soup which was freshly made and great taste“

“Overall a solid sushi and omakase spot, but pricey. We did the middle tier omakase and it was a good amount of food. The tempura fish was a highlight for me. I thought the fish was good but nothing mind-blowing, and personally I found the nigiri to have too much rice per piece. Ambiance was good, and the chefs were fun to watch. We got an anniversary dessert which was really nice!“

“yummmmm so good. highly recommend“

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

“Excellent omakase that would rival those at twice the price. The actual omakase experience started about 30 minutes after the reservation time, so... Patience. Valet parking is available, which is always great to have when you spend 2+ hours for dinner in the LA area. I wish they can bring back the ginger they had about a year ago. That was some darn good ginger“

“Delicious. Fresh quality good sushi. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.“

“Awesome !!“

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

“I live in the UK and have family in LA. I have had the good fortune to visit Echigo on a number of occasions over quite a few years, it has always been exceptional, Chef is a true master of his craft. It’s a low key place, not fancy, just great sushi and lovely friendly service. Order whatever the chef wants to make for you and enjoy mouthful after mouthful of delicious sushi. I’m looking forward to returning next time I’m in town.“

“Truly a hidden gem! This restaurant opened 8 months ago and we found it by accident . I am definitely a critical with restaurants and foods so don’t take my review lightly. I loved everything about this restaurant . The food was incredible. We ordered appetizers, salad, miso soup was incredible, the burrata salad was very good!
The sushi rolls were super fresh & delicious. The fried rice with salmon was 5/5! The steak was incredible . I honesty thought it would be more expensive than Arizona but it was same prices .
Atmosphere is wonderful for a date night ! The bar was very cute and the drinks were all on point ! We will 10000% be back!“

“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.“

“Saloon Osaka is an exceptional Izakaya.
