    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.

    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

    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
    Mary S.

    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

    Assorted rolls: Rainbow Roll and Bluefin Tuna Roll.

    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.

The rich chicken ramen was delicious too, Rich was the right name because I couldn't believe I was tasting a chicken ramen while I was eating it.

The spicy GOAM with crispy noodles as the base was great, definitely not as much of a spicy flavor as I thought, as it seemed the main source was pickled jalapeños tucked into the layers. I personally am not a fan of a concentrated spicy jalapeño bite so I ended up not getting much spice. However the rest of the pancake was very good! The loaded Kaisen was indeed piled high with seafood, but I thought the flavor was a bit light in the pancake itself. The seafood did seem fresh and tender though!
