14 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Hollywood

“This is an effortlessly chic sushi restaurant.

Healthy mix of couples, friends and solo eaters.

It’s easy to sink into the dark wooded, close quarters venue with soft jazz as background noise behind the bustling of the staff.

Infatuation will tell you to order the crispy rice with spicy tuna and sushi moriawise, which a lot of folks were getting.

If you have the $200/person (after tax and tip), it’s a special omakase. The ocean trout with kelp is non-pareil, sweet and umami flavors. Worth a visit.“

“I love this family owned place! Great food and a great place to go on my lunch break“

“We came here for my boyfriend's bday and order Omakase at the bar. We enjoy the 9 course meal, it was filling and very good. We even did a rating on the school item we tried. The only issue we had is that when the chef will say what the item was, because it was so loud it was extremely hard to hear what he was saying. Other than that we enjoy our experience, I told them it was for my boyfriend's bday we were there and they made us a delicious mushroom meal. We enjoy our first experience there!“

“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.“

“Great service and delicious food 🍱“

“Very good food. The meat was tender and delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Unexpected find in a quiet little plaza in West Hollywood—easily the best unagi don I’ve had in SoCal. Two styles, both incredible, but the hitsumabushi stole the show. Could’ve eaten three more bowls without hesitation. 😋“

“Please excuse the messy photos, I was too hungry and just snapped them quickly before eating. I ordered the Seafood Yakisoba and Curry Katsu, and my friend absolutely loved it! As always, Ocean Sushi did not disappoint. We both enjoyed it so much. thumbs up! 😀“

“I hadn't been to katana in a few years. From start to finish, an excellent dining experience was had. The front desk was accommodating, DJ, our server was fluent in the menu and handled our needs with ease. The manager, Grant, was a gracious host. The food was tasty and had an outstanding variety of choices. So glad katana holds up and the staff is equally as exceptional as the food.“

“An unforgettable night thanks to the incredible staff, chef, and entire team at Merois! They made my husband’s birthday surprise absolutely perfect—a memory we’ll cherish forever. Huge gratitude to Wolfgang Puck for the outstanding food. Truly a fantastic evening!“

“Perfect, in all the ways. Small authentic Japanese style, unassuming and yet incredible food. Watching the chef make each piece by hand for the entire restaurant was just as enjoyable as the flavors. Get the sushi and sashimi omikase if you love fresh fish.“

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

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

The beef dumplings were perfectly seasoned with a tender bite, and the baked salmon roll was rich, flavorful, and melt in your mouth delicious. Fresh ingredients, great presentation, and friendly service made the meal even better. A must-visit spot for sushi lovers craving quality and taste!“
