    Spicy Seafood Pasta Udon
    Brian C.

    The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, and the place was clean and well maintained. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back.

    This place is very aesthetically pleasing with cute cherry blossoms on the ceiling. It was very clean and inviting. The service was fast and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was great, but I would say it was a little higher priced, especially for the special rolls where it comes with only 8 pieces (Apparently some other ones have 6 pieces!). There are other places I can get more rolls for a little cheaper with the same quality. The flavor and quality of fish was really good though. It's in walking distance from my work so it's super convenient. I will definitely be back. I want to try the bento box or ramen next time I go!

    I mean! Come on! Such a great deal!

    Been here a handful of times now, and the staff is so attentive and polite! Love the ambiance, love the happy hour menu! Daily 3-6!

    Fun vibes. Cherry blossom ceilings. Good for larger groups. Gyoza slightly oily but beef were delicious, crunchy. 8/10 Tempura a lil oily but the batter is light. 6/10 Albacore and yellowtail. Excellent ride to fish ratio. Albacore tasted fair 7/10. Yellowtail 7/10. Seaweed not my favorite. 7/10 Dynamite roll 8/10. If u know me I'm not a fan of California rolls or imitation crab but this was flavorful and for HH price a good deal. Didn't taste any mushrooms tho. The Eel sauce is really good. The eel sauce in its self was at least an 9/10. Sake good quality for house sake. Prices are amazing. Happy hour (2pm-5pm) prices even more amazing. Lunch specials $12-$16. Sake bomb $10.95 for a large beer and small hot sake. HH is $8.95. They even offer Soju bombs $18.95. HH is $15.95. Service was good. Not the most cheerful servers but they did their job. In all fairly good. I appreciate the prices more than anything. Hopefully come back and try the other items. We came here for HH. So we were lucky to find this spot.

    The food is delicious and well prepared--clean and fresh! Happy Hour is terrific for excellent prices. I recommend the seaweed salad, yellowtail, sesame chicken, and spicy tuna roll (it's not really spicy but flavorful). Also, they have Ramen! Service was friendly and helpful, and the interior had a warm, pleasant, modern atmosphere. The cherry blossoms on the ceiling were very cool! It felt like it was in Tokyo.

    Pricing is great. Like before, the restaurant is beautiful and clean. Asked to get TV to switch channel and there was no issue. I thought this place temporarily closed but when it reopened I decided to give another try. The portion size is good and promotions. Not sure if sushi is super fresh.

    3 item bento box - salmon teriyaki spicy tuna roll and mixed tempura with small house sake
    Catherine A.

    Loved my bento box--the salmon teriyaki was tender, the spicy tuna roll generously portioned and the mixed tempura was a tasty selection of veggies and shrimp. The service was a bit slow since I arrived around 7 pm on a Thursday night and the place was busy, but once the food arrived, I was wowed.

    Philadelphia roll, Cucumber Roll

    Soooo good. The Philadelphia roll was very good. Both rolls were fresh. The place was really nice and the service was great! I wanted an extra spicy mayo and they didn't charge. Great place

    Family friendly delicious sushi , teriyaki chicken with tempura great happy hour . Our family loves Thai place and we especially love the staff , they are all so kind and friendly

    Assorted rolls: Rainbow Roll and Bluefin Tuna Roll.
    Stuart B.

    Very good neighborhood sushi restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard. I love the cherry blossoms on the ceiling and there's a cherry blossom wall that you can take selfies in front of. Great place for groups as they have lots of tables. Reasonable prices. The menu is extensive and has everything from sushi to Korean food, short ribs and tempura. We started with the unique "Fire Cracker" appetizer: spicy tuna, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, wonton chips with spicy mayo. Very good. I had a Rainbow roll: imitation crab, avocado with assorted fish on the outside. It was good. Pretty average. I really liked my friend's Bulgogi Korean style marinated beef. The beef was almost like thinly sliced steak. Very tender. It came with rice and an excellent salad. I can't say this is the best sushi I've had in Los Angeles but it's a good bet if you're in the area and it's cute inside with the booths and the cherry blossom ceiling. The service was very nice. One odd thing is that they can't modify items like the "crunchy roll" (my friend didn't want the imitation "krab" inside) because, according to the server, they were "premade"? That was odd to me. I've never heard of a good sushi restaurant having premade rolls to serve to customers. Maybe because they're fried? I don't know if I will go back here but if I happen to be close by in the neighborhood again and craving sushi, it's a good option. It's good quality but I would not personally drive across town just to eat here. But definitely try it if you are in the neighborhood. There is metered parking on Wilshire and on the side streets. There is also a lot of free parking on the side streets as well, especially on Saturday and Sundays.

    The food was very very good. Great presentation, fresh fish, came out quickly. Two very experienced sushi chefs preparing the sushi that came out very quickly. Service was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is great for friends looking to catch up, families, groups and dates. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back.

I tried their signature Rich Chicken ramen (torisoba), and it was delicious, the broth had that creamy, concentrated depth you'd normally expect from pork, but felt a bit cleaner. If it's your first time trying chicken-based ramen, this is a solid introduction. We also got the ground chicken rice bowl, which was a standout. Super flavorful, slightly sweet savory, and honestly something I'd come back for on its own. I also tried their Japanese BBQ chicken ramen (charcoal style), and while it was good, I personally preferred the Rich Chicken ramen. The charcoal flavor on the chicken definitely added a unique edge you don't usually get in ramen, in a GOOD way. Overall, this place feels different*in a good way. It's not trying to compete with traditional pork ramen, it does its own thing, and does it well. Definitely a unique spot in LA and worth trying if you want something outside the norm.

My sister was INCREDULOUS when I said I wanted to eat tonkatsu here again. haha I always eat the pork loin which is not dry, is tender, and has some fatty bits to it. I really like the texture of their pork. And the tonkatsu sauce flavor is SPOT ON, which is very important! My sister LOVES the corn soup. It IS tasty, and so is the miso soup. I also like the salad dressing that comes with the side salad for an entree. For me, tasty salad dressing is a must or I won't eat salad! My sister always eats the shabu shabu salad, which I have also tasted and like, but I only eat salad occasionally when I have a craving, so I haven't had the salad as a meal. Unfortunately, I tend to eat the same thing over and over, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. We also only do takeout, so I cannot comment on service, but the tonkatsu here is definitely the best I have had thus far, and like I said, I am not a tonkatsu fan, so that's saying A LOT!!!

The katsu combo (chicken, pork, shrimp, and mackerel) was very crunchy, and the chicken and pork were especially tender. The proteins were a bit bland on their own, but the dipping sauces were solid and helped a lot. The Fish & Chips were a highlight--the fish was soft inside and crispy outside, and the fries were very good. The corn soup was naturally sweet and mild but surprisingly flavorful. The curry had a good level of spice and came out in a fun gravy boat since we ordered it as a side for dipping. The vibe is relaxed and beachy, with surfboards and a cool blue sky ceiling feature. Service was friendly and fast. Unlimited rice and grinding your own sesame seeds were nice touches. I'd come back to try their creamy udon dishes.

I actually had Ikura…read morebookmarked during my trip to Japan, but I never got the chance to go, so when I saw they were coming to LA, I knew I just had to make the drive from OC to try it! You physically have to stand in line here which is a little excruciating but I came here at noon on a Saturday during the first few weeks of their pop-up announcement so I really did that to myself. It was probably a 1.5 hour wait, but I'll do anything for a good bite The demiglaze omurice delivered exactly what I wanted- the most silky melt in your mouth eggs ever, a rich savory sauce, and hamburg all on top of a bed of fluffy rice. The egg really was the star of this dish, I've never had eggs with this texture in the US. Ikura has really nailed their recipes and training of chefs here, I've tried to make eggs like this at home and it's just never the same! I will say the hamburg was a little thin and dry, but I was very willing to overlook that because of how perfect all the other components of this dish were. We also ordered the Ika Ika okonomiyaki, which comes with squid. I don't think I've ever had this type of Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, which has all the ingredients layered instead of mixed (they also do serve the Osaka mixed style mixed though). I probably wouldn't get the squid topping again, but the okonomiyaki itself is enough to keep me coming back. You get the option of soft of crispy noodles, and we got what our server recommended, the crispy, and she definitely knew what was up- the slight crunch added a great texture contrast. On the topic of our server I have to give her a shoutout for being so kind and attentive towards us. I wish I got her name, but she was a young girl server and she was just so sweet in giving us order recommendations, as well as giving us a tip that there really aren't any lines here if you come on weekdays during early lunchtime. But what really topped it off was that we remained in the Sawtelle area after we finished dining here for about two hours and ended up really needed a bathroom. No restaurants were letting us use their restroom so we went back to check Chinchikurin around 4 pm which is when they close for lunch. One of the other servers was about to send us away, but our server from over two hours ago remembered us and let us use their bathroom she's a real one

And I guess... only right now because this pop-up collaboration between Chinchikurin - Sawtelle and Ikura goes away on June 1st! From now until June 1st, Chinchikurin - Sawtelle has replaced their entire okonomiyaki menu with 4 types of omurice: demi-glace (classic), mentaiko, black curry, and tomato ketchup. You have the option of adding a hamburg steak as well. The shop is a bit on the small side as it sits in one of the more crowded plazas in Sawtelle. Service is also a bit on the slow side. I have visited Chinchikurin twice during this pop up event and tried all 4 omurices! The egg is cooked perfectly and oh so jiggly. They flop neatly blanketing the rice when you slice them down the middle. The hamburger steak is good too - I would get it. Now here is the Cody run-down on each of the different sauce options: Demi-Glacé: Classic. Very good! If this is your first time trying omurice, you should probably start here. I would describe it as a dark, elegant gravy that's savory with a touch of sweetness. Mentaiko: Unexpectedly, this was my favorite! The mentaiko flavor was rich and full of umami. The sauce was creamy and delicious. Black Curry: The curry was ok and did not have as much depth of flavor as I would have liked aside from strong notes of garlic. I would pass on this one as there are better places to get Japanese curry. Tomato Ketchup: This was my least favorite. I was actually excited for this one, but the sauce was more akin to a marinara than ketchup. I love ketchup. I was hoping for something tangy and sweet and childish, but this sauce was leaning more savory and, honestly, a bit watered down. Some appetizers, such as Takoyaki by Takoyaki Tanota, are still available. Overall, great pop up! The omurice is delicious. I've already been twice and plan to go more times before the pop up ends. If y'all see my Yelp check-ins, y'all know what's up. I highly recommend you visit before the pop up ends, and I hope the omurice ends up sticking around longer.
