Nice ambiance Good service Best hand rolls I've had in LA. Fresh ingredients and crispy seaweed. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for good sushi! The one thing I don't appreciate is the 18% service charge. Not sure what that's for considering we leave a gratuity and the service charge is not for staff.

Excellent evening spent at this establishment. My brother's birthday could not have been spent in a better place. Seaweed always seem to have the freshest fish and the rolls were just outstanding. The spicy tuna hand roll, albacore hand roll with crispy onions and the spicy lobster roll, were especially delicious. This spot also uses the freshest seaweed paper that's crispy every time you take a bite of the hand roll. Just FRESHHHHH! In addition to the rolls, we tried a very tasty steak appetizer. They brought it sizzling on cast iron grill and it was continuing to grill right in front of us. Each bite of steak was better than the last. All of this was thanks to our sushi chef and our waiter Mark, who was nothing short of amazing. Mark was very attentive, kind and knew exactly what dishes to recommend to us. He went above and beyond to make my brother's and mine culinary journey for the evening top notch and we're grateful! The vibe of the spot is very hip, with super cool red colors, awesome trendy wall art and a really cool sushi bar, all while newer R&B hits are playing in the background. Will definitely be back here soon!

I literally order from them every week. Their sushi is amazing. We visit frequently as well and absolutely love the atmosphere. The attention to detail is so precise. Each plate is finessed and visually beautiful. Service is always amazing. Staff is quick, energetic, and doesnt miss! Always worth it.

We've been dining here since they opened a few years ago, and it's easily become our favorite sushi spot. I can eat here without worrying about getting sick since I cannot have gluten. The staff and chefs are attentive and knowledgeable! The food is always fresh and delicious and meticulously crafted! The music is always on point and the crowd is great! I highly recommend! We also love to order from here as well! Same great quality fresh food!

Their hand rolls are so good. I love their spicy tuna crispy rice, spicy tuna, spicy scallop, spicy lobster, basked snow crab hand rolls. Their sashimi is very good as well - albacore, hamachi, yellowtail. The Lena is also a tasty citrus hand roll. They do have specials as well so make sure got take a look for their sushi and sashimi, etc. The yuzu drink is also yummy - citrusy. FYI they do cut rolls for take out only.

My sister took me here for the first time. She raved about this place and oh boy was she right! The whole restaurant is bar seating only so smaller parties are better. There are only barstools with no backing. We were served immediately. The sushi chefs are in front of you making everyone's orders. We ordered multiple rolls and apps. The crispy rice was delicious! My favorite rolls are the Negitoro and Lena. Don't pass up this place!

Came here to celebrate my birthday, nice place, super clean and wasn't that crowded, a bit on the pricey side but totally worth it. Service was excellent every employee kept checking on us. Food was fresh and everything is made in front of you. Will definitely be back.

Came during a weekend with reservations. Our group was the first ones there so not packed or busy at all. Our friend group each ordered about 3-4 hand rolls each person, shareable starters, and nigiris. I ordered the seared scallop handroll, blue crab handroll, Lena handroll, fried brussel sprouts, and glazed crispy shrimp. BLUE CRAB HANDROLL - My favorite hands down. It was not fishy at all and there was a lot of crab meat. Blue crab are usually hit or miss as some are too fish but this tasted fresh and was filled. SEARED SCALLOP HANDROLL - This was okay. It was recommended by my friend who had been here before but was mediocre to me and nothing special. There were 3 pieces of seared scallop but in terms of flavor did not wow me. LENA HANDROLL - I wanted a salmon handroll but this was just okay. It was too lemony for my liking. Just get a regular salmon handroll. FRIED BRUSSEL SPROUTS - I love fried Brussels sprouts and these were good. It had cauliflower as well which added a different vegetable and texture. I think it was also too lemony but still good. They are heavy handed with lemon. CRISPY GLAZED SHRIMP - this was also a hit! A good shareable dish Almost similar to walnut shrimp in my opinion with the mayo and slightly crisped shrimp. Overall, it's good as the hand rolls were a good size. Parking is only metered street parking which is usually hard to find spot on the weekends or a parking garage a block or so away.

Came here on a Friday night with a girlfriend. We had made reservations for 6 PM and unfortunately we were running late. We ended up getting there past 6:30 but they were kind enough to, seat us right away since they were not busy. The place is small so I highly recommend getting a reservation because by 7 PM it was packed! The place itself was decorated really well and I loved that that it was one big round bar table with the sushi being made right in front of you/in the middle by the chiefs. The spicy tuna roll was great and I highly recommend! The albacore hand roll was very good and a great option if you don't want a spicy or citrusy roll. Fried shishito peppers with spicy tuna is a must for an appetizer I highly recommended! The only disappoint was that the yellowtail hand roll was overly salty. Overall the quality of fish was great! Also, the waiter also seemed to rush us a bit to order things more quickly. But given we were late and it was a Friday night I can't take that too much to heart. Add this place to your next sushi stop!
