  “The sushi were very fresh and the flavor was very creative. The quality is hard to find. Then the ten don was surprisingly impressive. At first I thought it looked oily (shiny) but wait it’s glazed with sugar! Made it really enjoyable. The tempuras - shrimp, eel, fish, mushroom and sweet potato are all delicious.”

  “Wow what a gem! The high rating is so well deserved. We got multiple plates and my favorites were one of the tuna nigiri’s currently 2 x 1, it was melt in your mouth! Also the tempura app, the salmon katsu and everything that came with it. The staff is super friendly and attentive, my delicious iced green tea was refilled multiple times which I really appreciated. I’ve been thinking about this place since my visit, can’t wait to return.”

  “Had an amazing dinner here on a Friday night. Had to park a block away at a meter, but felt safe enough at 5pm. We asked to sit at a booth. We were first served hot tea, which seemed like matcha green tea. I ordered seafood tempura which was so crispy hot and delicious and included lobster tail and other high quality seafood plus vegetables. So much I couldn’t finish it all. My husband ordered the sashimi deluxe which came with a bowl of rice. It was melt-in-your-mouth good. There was a shrimp head and they asked if he wanted it deep fried or in soup. He chose soup which was like miso with the shrimp head in it, very tasty. They offered dessert but we were really stuffed from the dinner. The portions were generous. It was a bit over $100 for the two of us but worth it. P.s. Some reviewers said the wait staff was too attentive. I found them to be perfect, there when needed but unobtrusive.”

  “Came on Valentine’s Day, amazing service! They were so kind & attentive despite business. Handrolls are some of the best in LA. Sushi is absolutely delicious and super fresh. Got the sushi set & Yuzu halibut was one of my favorites! New favorite restaurant in little Tokyo. It was reasonably priced too.”

  “I loved the food, and the place was spotless. I would have liked the waiter to recommend or explain the dishes better, especially the fish, since even with the photos, we didn’t fully understand the options. Still, a perfect 10! The sashimi poke salad was insane.”

  “Delicious food but the service could be slightly better! We were initially denied a free hand roll even our reservation was based on their special menu (comes with a free hand roll) and promotion during the LA Food Festival. They don’t do …”

  “Been coming here for years and their quality is always great and consistent. I get the premium or regular chirashi bowls and a few individual items like the amaebi and hotate. Love how they let us use the shrimp head to make miso soup or fried which are both delicious. Fair value and beautiful interior and spacious.”
