    Spicy tuna roll & regular tuna roll
    Melissa M.

    Extremely affordable. Great happy hour. Buy 1 roll, get one 50% off. Ramen broth is made fresh and simmers for 13 hours. Great customer service. Easy parking. Great place to take my teenage boys for clean, healthy, fresh sushi

    Appetizer, rolls, and salad menu

    I was in the neighborhood and saw that there was a new Japanese restaurant in town. This same location has been so many different things from a chicken shack to sandwiches but they never intrigued me. When I saw this new Japanese restaurant and learned they had a buy one get one 50% off sushi deal, I knew I had to go. When you walk in the vibe is nice with good music playing. They have order tablets at every table so you don't have to go to counter or call for waiter. The cashier/waiter was very friendly and said they had been opened for about 4 months now. They had a lot of variety on the menu. I was by myself and just wanted a quick bite so I ordered 1 Blosom signature roll and 1 crunchy roll. It was about a 15 minute wait before I received the crunchy roll first. I liked it because it had a lot of sauce on the plate I could use for dipping. Then the Blosom roll came which I absolutely loooved! It was topped with crab and scallops. The crab was really good but the scallops lacked flavor. Next time I will ask for my eel sauce on the side. I also ordered a salmon avocado roll to go for my husband so he could try it. I'm so excited this place is here for when I'm in the area. I no longer have to resort to el pollo loco in the same complex, I can now get real delicious sushi!

    I've ordered from here a few times now--twice for pickup and once for dine-in. For fast-casual Japanese food, this place is great, and I'm happy it's just around the corner. The space is clean and modern, and their takeout packaging is beautifully done. They don't have their alcohol license yet, but once they do, I'll definitely be back for the $4 beers.

    Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna and pork Spicy Miso Ramen

    This new location is located in La Cienega Plaza next to Target so there's a lot of free parking shared with other businesses. This restaurant is very clean with minimal decor which I love. The menu is very simple which makes it easy to decide what to get. I dined here with my sister and we ordered crispy rice with spicy tuna, fresh salmon salad, katsu plate, spicy miso ramen and tempura ice cream for dessert. Everything was so fresh and delicious especially the veggies that were used in the dishes. Portions are quite big especially the salad and ramen. Service was excellent. We were assisted by Naomi who gave us recommendations on what to order. She's very attentive and very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

    I live nearby and decided to check this place out for dinner since it just opened. I really wanted to like it... but honestly, I left pretty disappointed. 1. Misleading Takoyaki Photo * The menu photo showed five takoyaki balls, but when it came out, there were only three. * I get that photos are "for reference only," but showing a totally different portion size is misleading -- especially since the menu didn't clarify otherwise. Maybe choose a different photo? Lol. 2. Hidden Card Pricing * The menu lists one price, but the receipt showed two -- a lower "cash" price and a higher "credit card" price. * There were no signs or notices about this anywhere (at least none that were obvious). * Most people pay by card, so this felt pretty sneaky and left a bad impression. ‍ 3. Service Was Just Okay * Ordering on the iPad was smooth, and food came out quickly. * But no one really checked in afterward -- we had to get up twice: once to grab napkins (after we already asked for) and again to ask for the check (which they forgot to bring as well). * It wasn't busy, so the lack of attention was noticeable. 4. Food & Quality * The sushi itself was fine -- fresh enough, but not memorable. * For the price, there are definitely better options in the area with higher quality and friendlier service. 5. Ambiance * The space is modern and newly renovated, but the loud R&B and hip-hop music didn't really match the dinner vibe. It felt more like a lounge than a sushi restaurant -- just kind of mismatched for an evening dinner. Overall Cool to see a new spot open up in this strip mall space (it had been vacant for a while), but unfortunately, I probably wouldn't come back. Between the misleading menu photos, confusing pricing, and so-so service, it just wasn't worth it for me.

    Shoyu Ramen

    I came here for dinner on a Monday evening, since I was already in the area at 6PM. Since I arrived before the dinner rush, there was plenty of seating available. The ambiance is very modern, hip and vibrant. I was greeted by Naomi and she handed me a laminated menu. There's an option to order using the tablets installed on the table or directly to the waiters/waitresses on duty. Since Naomi kindly offered to take my order, I accepted the gesture and ordered directly to her. I ordered a Shoyu Ramen that is non-spicy, with Chicken Breast. The ramen noodles were al dente and the broth was perfectly seasoned with umami. I also like the bamboo shoots that complement the crispness of the ramen noodles. It came with a half slice of soft boiled egg, caramelized onions and chopped green onions. My only minor issue was the chicken breast was overcooked, which led to a dry texture. Perhaps, I suggest slicing the chicken breast into thinner pieces so that it won't feel too dry upon chewing. They are still in soft opening stages as of October 2025, and I'm confident that Blosom will improve their quality and enhance their authentic Japanese flavors as they embark on their new era at La Cienega Plaza. I will definitely come back to try other ramen variants and other Japanese dishes on the menu. Next time, I'll bring my friends and family too.

    09/15/2025 I came by here a few weeks earlier thinking their Soft Opening would start since I have been seeing advertisement or more posts from Blósom social media. I stopped by here after work to see the OPEN sign lit up. I am more worried about how people are driving in this parking lot than anything else. This lady driving the wrong way down the aisle too. I asked the girl who took my order what does she like to order. The Shoyu ramen, chicken or beef bowl, the Katana roll which looks like a lot of avocado, and Rock n Roll which is fried shrimp on top of California roll. I do like these suggestions but I went with the Tonkotsu Ramen for $16.95. I really wanted to try the Katana roll but will have to be next time. Plus I got a free appetizer for my next visit.

    Salmon Plate
    Amani S.

    Ordered from Doordash and was pleasantly surprised! First the presentation was so nice for this to be takeout. The salad was delicious and fresh. The salmon was hearty and flavorful. The soup was light and warm. But I wasn't the biggest fan of the kelp and potato salad. Would definitely order from here again.

    Their inside
    Vito K.

    So, after anticipating their opening as the sushi lovers my family are, and stopping by not too long ago, thinking they were open only to have the door locked and no closed sign up, my wife and I stopped by the other night to pick up some dinner. Now we've been living in the neighborhood long enough to see this space go through some changes. I want to say this is about the third or fourth different place occupying that space since we've lit down the block. but we were excited to have a sushi place nearby hoping that they would be good. And unfortunately we had an interesting first experience. The inside is really nice. You could tell they put both money and effort into making it as nice as possible. Which was really cool to see. One thing I enjoyed was the staff being friendly. That's not always the case unfortunately in some restaurants. Now here comes the unfortunate part of my review. We only ordered five menu items. Including four rolls. My wife, our baby and I ended up waiting 40 minutes. Such a long wait for just a few items to go. And when we asked for updates and when the food will be ready, they kept giving us answers such as two minutes, five minutes. Now the place wasn't that busy, sure they had customers eating, but the place was not packed. So it was confusing and frustrating. As I was out in the front with my baby, I overheard a gentleman on the phone saying that he was there for an influencer event. Now, if that was the case that this place was holding an event, then maybe they should have explained to other customers that there would have been a bit of a wait time. The wait time alone and the lack of communication was a very bad look and first impression to me. I just didn't feel like an appreciated and valued customer for an establishment that just opened days ago. Which is unfortunate because like I mentioned earlier, my family and I were looking forward to them opening to have a new sushi place in our neighborhood to enjoy and support. Food on the other hand was good. Fresh and tasty. I am curious to stop by at least one more time to try a few other menu items. Other than that, they may have not given the worst person impression, but overall they did not give a very good first impression.

    Love this new open Japanese restaurant and totally worth it. There's no sushi but rolls at this restaurant. The rolls are buy one get one 50% off and so worth it. The servers were so nice and helpful. The restaurant was really clean. You can either order at the counter or at your table which was really easy.

    After a solidcore workout in Culver City, I stopped by this spot for a healthy yet super affordable Japanese meal -- and wow, it did not disappoint! I used to visit their Ktown location, so I was thrilled to find out they opened one near my office! Here's what we ordered: Hawaiian Roll & Super Dragon Roll -- The Hawaiian roll was packed with fresh tuna and topped with fish roe, with spicy tuna inside for extra texture and flavor. The Super Dragon roll came with sweet unagi on top, a touch of garlic chips, and peppers -- perfectly balancing the richness of the eel. Bonus: all rolls are BOGO 50% off right now, such a steal! Clam Soba & Spicy Miso Ramen -- The clam soba honestly surprised me; the broth was incredibly fresh and light with tons of clams, bean sprouts, and seaweed -- super comforting and healthy. The spicy miso ramen was just as flavorful as I remembered from their other location -- rich broth that's been simmered for 13 hours! Cubed Sashimi Salad & Salmon Carpaccio -- The sashimi salad was huge, loaded with salmon, tuna chunks, and a generous piece of crab meat -- perfect post-workout meal! The salmon carpaccio was also super fresh; a squeeze of lemon made it even better. Everything tasted fresh, prices were very reasonable (around $20-30 per person), and the service was quick. They also have self-ordering once you're seated -- ideal for introverts like me . Highly recommend this spot for Culver City folks looking for fresh, high-quality, and budget-friendly Japanese food after work!

Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes and got a table inside. There were 6 of us and they made us squeeze into a booth built for 4 which was a little annoying but we made it work. I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.

The chashu was disappointing: lean and chewy--more like steak found in pho than the tender pork I expected. The wait for a table was long in the hot sun during lunch.

I got the fried rice, previously one of my favorite side dishes here, but the Yakimeshi rice was too dry and disappointing. I added garlic and soft boiled egg to my ramen. The garlic flakes were too big/strong and overpowered everything. The egg was good. Since the noodles and broth are the most important parts and were both decent, I'd keep this place at around four stars. But there are a lot of other ramen places to try in the area. Original from years ago: Overtook Daikokuya as my favorite ramen place. I love so much about the place except the wait. And the parking, which doesn't validate as long as it used to. But really, the wait is really terrible. I would eat here more often if the wait weren't such an issue.

Sat at the bar, so watched them make udon from scratch, which was nice. WAIT LIST There was a line when I got there, just as it opened. It wasn't long, but everyone wrote their name down on a wait list. There's a sheet of paper placed on the table outside. Please write your name down ASAP, as that will help in making sure that you will grab a seat. Also, the lines are disorganized too, so it's best to write down your name, so no one cuts in front of you. It is a small restaurant. Limited seats. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Everyone got in the restaurant in the order they came in. Service was quick and there were no delays in taking orders. The server came by quickly and dropped off the check as she saw that I was nearly finished with my meal. PARKING Parked at Joe's Autoparks. It was $15! I did not know until after I paid the ticket. Very difficult to find parking in this area, so not many options unless you want to walk really far, back to your car in 90 degree heat. There was another parking garage next to Joe's, but the price was the same! Would I come back again? Not sure. Given that the udon wasn't what I expected, it may be my last time here. Also, parking sucks.

That's the mood that pulled me into Maruya in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. I ordered the chashu tonkotsu, the classic go-to when you want to judge a ramen shop by its bones. And the verdict? It was... fine. Not bad, not memorable -- just okay. The kind of bowl that doesn't offend you but doesn't linger in your memory either. No standout richness in the broth, no chashu slice that made me pause mid-bite. Just noodles, doing their job. This is actually the second ramen spot I've tried in Little Tokyo, and I'll admit -- I'm starting to feel a little underwhelmed by the neighborhood's ramen scene so far. For a pocket of the city with so much culinary history packed into a few blocks, I expected to be a bit more wowed by now. Two tries in, and I'm still searching for that bowl that stops me in my tracks. What did stand out, though, was the service. The staff at Maruya were genuinely warm and helpful -- attentive without hovering, quick to check in, the kind of hospitality that makes you want to root for the place even when the food doesn't quite deliver. It's the kind of detail that softens an otherwise middling meal. So, Little Tokyo ramen crawl: two down, verdict still out. The people have been great. The noodles? I'm still waiting to be impressed. On to the next bowl.

I actually became aware of the existence of this restaurant *because* they had a happy hour sign out in front, advertising, among other things, $4 salmon poke "tacos" (which was definitely actually a tostada, but still), and $3 nigori sake to go with it, which sounded pretty bomb - when I passed by the sign on my way to an event at Death & Co nearby, I took note of it but wasn't interested in food. However, when I left that event, an event I thought was going to provide a lot more food than it actually did, I absolutely *was* interested in food, and remembered that the sign advertised not only a traditional happy hour (open until 6 weekdays, 2:30-5:30 Saturday/Sunday), but also the same prices during a reverse happy hour (8 to close weekdays, 9 to close on the weekend). Given it was, at that moment, just after 8 on a Wednesday, I knew exactly where I was going to get the second half of my dinner from. Funny enough, I will say, the salmon poke that drew me in, was just... good. Don't get me wrong, if I were offered them for free, I'd eat at *least* a dozen. They were quite tasty - also like 2 bites worth of food (so eating a dozen of them would not be remotely difficult to do.) Salmon poke is wonderful, but if I wanted poke, I'd go find a poke place - even $4 felt a bit pricey for the size (they're $6 when it isn't happy hour), so I'm glad I decided to also try their karaage. Their karaage is BOMB - some of the best I've had, honestly. $7 for a 4-piece order of their karaage, by contrast, feels like a very reasonable price, and $5 (during happy hour) an absolute steal. Great karaage, great sauce, super fulfilling. The happy hour on karaage would be enough of a draw by itself - but separate from that, so would the $3 happy hour on sake, including both a regular house cold sake and a nigori. As you can see from the picture, they also intentionally overpour their sake, which is not only a very pretty presentation, but also an impressive amount of sake for $3 (heck, for DTLA, a pretty impressive amount of sake even at their normal $5 price). They also have $6 happy hour shochu/sake/juice cocktails that looked pretty good, though I didn't try one. Service was great, too - sometimes you can tell a restaurant is less excited to serve someone who clearly just came in for a drink and a snack, but that was not my experience here. Verdict is, I definitely want to come back and try their ramen sometime, but I would definitely make sure to do it either before or after their prime dinner hour, to take advantage of happy hour pricing. (And I would definitely get more of that karaage as a side. I will probably also make a point to do so as a snack, subsequent to any future events I go to in the area that end around 8 on a weekday, as well, for as long as that happy hour remains such a draw, price-wise.)

    Food (3/5): Pretty ok ramen! You come to Tsujita Artisan Noodle in Arts District for the Tsukemen…read more Their tsukemen is creamy with deep umami flavor. Their noodles have a bounciness and chewiness that hold the broth you dip your noodles in. I do wish the broth was hotter because the noodles are traditionally served cold. I've come here for their Naruto collaboration and to try their traditional ramen where their noodles come with the broth and it tastes significantly different than their tsukemen which I didn't have a liking to. It was missing some oomph that not only differentiates this ramen from others I've tasted before but also gets people to keep coming. Service (5/5): Quick service! Every time I've been there hasn't been a wait. Price (4/5): To compensate for taste I do think the price needs to be lowered a bit. The tsukemen to me was definitely worth it. Ambiance (4/5): Cute little modern shop. It won't fit many big parties but it is perfect for duos.
