    Karage chicken
    Shannon F.

    Yummy karaage chicken at this quick little kiosk-style ordering menu. Crunch factor was okay- not the most crispy but satisfying and very quick service for a great snack

    Daruma bento with lemon salmon roll

    The sushi is fresh and good for a casual take-out restaurant. Order online or on the tablet outside. There are a few seats outside for bar seating, but it's primarily a take-out joint. I got the Daruma bento box - starts at $14 (additional fee depending on the sushi roll that you select). Comes with 3 pieces of karaage, small green salad, potato salad, edamame, tamago, and shishito peppers. I picked the lemon salmon roll (extra $4.50) for my roll. The lemon salmon roll was delicious! I would probably skip the bento and just get the roll next time. Hubby got the eel bowl ($16.50), which he liked. Good amount of food. We walked up and ordered on the tablet, and there was a bit of a wait for our order, ~20min, and it wasn't busy. I'd recommend ordering ahead so you don't have to wait. Small free parking in the back.

    Located in a Sawtelle, a bit on the edge of all the restaurants. It's on Sawtelle Blvd & La Grange. It's more of a fast causal or takeout spot and there's limited seating with about eight stools. My friend and I both got the bento which comes with a roll of your choice, little bit of salad salad, edamame, shishito peppers, kaarage chicken, and Japanese mashed potatoes. Decently priced and fair portions, especially if you want a little bit of it all. They have a variety of roll selections, I tried the lemon salmon roll which was fresh and yummy. We also got one order of the crispy tuna rice which was tasty. The staff are quite friendly and our food came out fairly quickly! There is small parking lot in the back which is convenient but if not there's also street meter parking options.

    Spicy tuna roll, chicken karaage, potato salad, very small salad and edamame....all yummy

    Just discovered this gem, so happy I decided to have lunch here. Cute little take out spot but you can also sit outside too. I ordered Daruma bento box with spicy tuna roll. To go box was cute and food was good!

    This place is located on Sawtelle boulevard and I think is a MUCH better spot than any other sushi spot on this busy street. It's also a great alternative to Nijiya if you want something a bit fresher for not too much of a price difference. Sushi was made fresh (so be prepared for a 15ish minute wait). Karaage was flavorful and juicy. The bento had so much: roll, karaage, salad, edamame, shishito peppers, and Japanese mashed potatoes. My albacore bento was $18, and our snow crab bento was $15. This is a fast casual spot. There is about 8 seats outside.

    A new venture by the owners of Anzu and Menya Tigre, this spot specializes in sushi roll bentos. It's in the same spot that Anzu was (I believe Anzu is currently operating out of Menya Tigre), which is a little takeout window and two counters and chairs on a corner next to Sawtelle. You order off a tablet, and they bring your order out to you after it's done. I opted the spicy tuna roll bento, which comes with 8 pieces of the roll, potato salad, a piece of tamago, edamame, some karaage, and a bit of salad. The first thing I must say is, the sushi roll is pretty packed with the actual tuna. I was surprised when I picked one up and it was actually a big layer of tuna instead of a bit of tuna surrounded by veggies. It's very high quality too, definitely one of the better rolls I've had. In fact, everything in the bento was just very high quality, especially the karaage (of course, thanks Anzu) and the potato salad was also delicious. At $14, it's hard to beat this in terms of quality for price. Solid spot for a quick casual lunch, dine-in or to go.

    lemon salmon roll (I forgot its name), the onions give the fish a nice kick and freshness to it!

    TBH, it's some of the best sushi you can get for its price in Sawtelle. I've eaten here several times since they first opened, but I keep forgetting to take photos for a review because I want to eat !! Highly recommend their rolls, but their other options like karaage or the poke bowl are delicious. Everything seems to be made with great care.

    Fantastic food, super quick turnaround, service was prompt, it is a to-go place but they do have outdoor seating.

    I was looking for a quick and delicious spot for my work break. Tried this bento and sushi roll spot for lunch. The spot is at the old Anzu location in Sawtelle. I ordered the spicy tuna roll bento box, which came with edamame, spicy mashed potatoes, shishito peppers, chicken karaage, and salad. While the portions for the sides were on the smaller side, the roll itself had 8 pieces and was delicious. Everything was packed with flavor, the shishito peppers had a nice kick and great taste, the chicken karaage was juicy and well-seasoned, and the roll was fresh and satisfying. You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients. I ate my meal in their cozy patio area. A great spot for a flavorful and well-balanced meal.

    The food was sooo good and service was very friendly! We ordered the bento box, crispy rice w/ spicy tuna, and the poke bowl + peach oolong tea and everything was delicious!! Pretty sure they're a new small business so definitely coming back to try something else :) Good prices too!

    Had a pretty long line one Sunday evening but I kinda get it considering how good the meal was…read more I ended up ordering a large serving with Shoyu and Spicy Shoyu and wow were the servings filling! Almost like I ordered a large or something...I had it with edamame and seaweed salad on the side, with rice being a complementary side as well. The food is as good as Poke could possibly get, so I would definitely come back if I were in the area. The interior is pretty small with some seating along the wall and with around 2-3 tables outside. While I was able to find parking at the connected parking lot, I can see why it'd be a challenge as the parking lot is really small. But there is a neighborhood right next to it and a parking lot across the street so it's no worries on that end. Minimal interaction with staff but they seemed cool.

    Food: My husband and I both ordered poke bowls with a mix of Hawaiian and spicy poke, along with…read moreshoyu and California roll poke. Everything tasted incredibly fresh right away, with clean flavors and a great balance of umami, savory richness, and just the right amount of spice. Each component complemented the others well, and nothing felt overly heavy or overpowering. It's easy to see why people say this is one of the most authentic poke spots in the area, the simplicity and quality really shine through. That said, personal preference-wise, I still find myself leaning toward Poke Express in Las Vegas (though to be fair, I've never been to Hawaii, so that might change one day). Price: Pricing is pretty standard for quality poke in Southern California. A regular bowl (about 1/3 lb of fish with rice and a side) typically runs around $15-17, while larger bowls can range from about $19-24 depending on portion size. Overall, expect to spend around $15-25 per person, which feels fair given the freshness and portion sizes. Ambiance: This is very much a grab‑and‑go style spot rather than a sit-down restaurant. It's located right along the street and almost always has a long line of people waiting, which tells you a lot about its popularity. Inside, there's a small bar area with a handful of high chairs, and a couple of tables outside, but seating overall is pretty limited. Not really a place to linger, more for a quick, casual bite. Service: Despite how busy it constantly is, service is efficient and straightforward. The staff keeps things moving quickly and stays organized, so even with a line, the wait doesn't feel too bad. No frills, but solid and dependable. Parking: There's a small side parking lot that can fit maybe around 10 cars, which fills up quickly during peak hours. Otherwise, you'll likely have to find street parking nearby and walk over. Not impossible, but it does take a little extra effort, especially when it's busy.

There were a couple of people before us so that gave us time to look at the menu. Our go to is the large 4 fish ($21) which was enough for my husband and I to share. The service was good and fish/toppings plentiful. The employee was patient when we asked for almost all the toppings. Love the lemon cream! The crispy onion is what keeps us coming back--a must!! The ambience is simple but clean. We ate there and could easily have a conversation. They provide iced water in a dispenser. Bathroom was clean. Parking can be tough which is a hindrance for us, but today we found a spot easily. When we left, the parking lot was bustling. We really enjoyed our poke bowl! The fish was fresh. We got salmon x2, scallops, and shrimp. For our sides, seaweed salad and crabmeat. Base was half kale/half brown rice. Almost all the toppings. We got the garlic ponzu with spicy mayo in one corner. Eel sauce was drizzled all over which I didn't prefer, but it tasted good in the end. Our tummies were happy and satisfied!

The the woman putting my bowl together was super stingy on the base. She spread out the salad so it was literally a handful of salad. I asked for more greens and she said she would have to charge me for that. The price gouging is a little out of control now. For $21, I shouldn't have to go home and add salad to my bowl. I go mostly to the studio city location, so I'll probably route myself to that one in the future! The poke is fresh and I like the diversity of toppings you get here.

Earlier this week, I ordered two of my personal favorite items. - Combo Plate w/Double Salmon Spicy Mayo - Beef Rib Plate w/1 scoop of rice and mac salad I highly recommend asking for a couple of samples of poké flavors you're curious about before ordering. I got to try CA Hawaiian and Spicy Garlic Salmon which were also fantastic. And you simply can't go wrong with their Shoyu. I'll have to try getting different flavors in my combo plate vs. doubling up next time. Salmon Spicy Mayo is creamy, with a perfect kick to it that makes this specific poké flavor ADDICTING. Truthfully, it's only spicy if you eat too fast. Beef rib plate was fantastic. The item pictured was only my 2nd time ordering this. Moving forward, it's hard not to order considering a) this has a nice smoky flavor b) the meat is so tender & succulent it falls off the bone with a little shake (portion matches the price point, which I deeply appreciate since other places will skimp out on beef). I think the only things I was bummed about was my scoop of mac salad was tiny and there wasn't much furikake on my rice. Not by any means, a major deal since I ultimately got money's worth in juicy beef ribs. Service was stellar. A polite young woman had 2 other customers in front of me with hefty orders, but I was still taken care of promptly. I was given an ETA of 10 mins since one of my plates was made to order, and happy to report my food's arrival was timely.

The spicy garlic was more sweet and was missing the spicy and garlic. My only gripe is don't be stingy with cutting the fish! Their bento combo is alright.
