Great food! All the fish is super fresh, great ambiance and great service. Will definitely come back again soon! Thanks Eros!

Mixed feelings about HRB Experience, unfortunately. Location: It's pretty easy to find -- it's on the same floor as the AMC theater and the food court. It's outdoor seating (around an oblong-shaped bar), and can get pretty chilly despite the heaters. Service: Not sure if we just caught the server on a bad day, but he was giving off some major avoidant energy. It was Sunday in the early afternoon and there wasn't a wait, yet it took a while to be acknowledged and seated. Even after being seated, he proceeded to act as if he didn't see us. After 20 minutes of us watching the server avoid eye contact and stock his little fridge, we had to try to get his attention. When he finally came up to us, he greeted us with a "what's up?" It was my boyfriend's and my first time dining at HRB Experience, and we're hoping our lackluster experience was just a one-off thing...would definitely be interested in giving this place another shot. But it just doesn't feel right to be automatically charged 18% gratuity for such lackluster service. read more

HRB Experience - 5 Rolls Combo + uni roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Emily is very rude. I usually don't leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. While checking out, we selected "adjust tip" on the payment screen, intending to leave a tip. Before we could finish, the waitress saw the screen and sarcastically said, "No tip, great," in a sarcastic rude tone. read more

The ambience is a 10/10, love the vibe and view of the mall. The staff were super attentive and greeted and helped us right away. Sushi was forgo read more

Great happy hour and beautiful view on a patio bar in the mall. Aamani took great care of us!

The atmosphere here on a Friday afternoon is pretty amazing! It wasn't busy at all around 1pm on a Friday and the weather and sun were just perfect. That added onto my experience at HRB which made it stand out from Kazunori. The handrolls came out all at once, which inevitably meant the rice was colder and you felt a little bit more rushed to eat and finish all of it. The fish itself was abundant and fresh, with unique flavors and textures. Service was friendly and standard. This place is pretty solid, but I think I do prefer the fish/handrolls and the experience at Kazunori a bit better. Would def give this place a try though! It has a much bigger menu than just the handrolls! read more

Enjoyed the service and ambiance. A little expensive; Sake carafes on the small side.

This place is delicious! Located inside the Century City Mall, it is one of the better options imo. The setting is an outside patio-ish vibe that has space heaters when cold. The service could be a little better, but I understand since it is a small shop with 3 or so employees at a time. I took off one star because it is expensive for what it is -- compared to Kazu Nori for example, the individual hand rolls are around double the price here. Overall would recommend read more

The food at HRB is always very yummy. I tried the 4 hand roll combo for $22 and everything was so tasty and yummy and cute presentation. It is limited seating as it's maybe 20 seats but it's nice where it is located. Service is always great too. We also had the unfiltered sake which was good too :) read more

The ambiance was great and the service was wonderful. The food was very disappointing. I got three hand rolls: bay scallop, signature and baked crab. I didn't want to finish any of them. We arrived right at opening and assumed it'd all be fresh but it did not taste fresh at all. The signature and scallop were wayyyy too fishy. The texture was off from what you'd expect in fresh fish. The baked one was very greasy. My hand had a puddle of grease on it. The place was very busy so try at your own discretion. Like I said, the server was amazing and kind and wonderful. The vibe was great, just bad, super not fresh fish. read more

Food is delicious!!! I appreciate Ed the amazing service and nice ambience. Honestly some of the best hand rolls I've had.

hello. diego should be promoted. fantastic server. he helped me navigate the menu and find out that there was a bag hanger. the bowl was delicious. a quick hand roll is also a pretty great snack. ambiance is made for fast paced eating, which is good because it's located in a mall. read more

The baked blue crab hand roll was by far the best thing we had there. The albacore hand roll was great too. Not a fan of the scallop though. Extremely spicy and odd texture, given that I usually eat baked scallop and not raw. Overall good. Love the idea with the soy sauce droppers! read more

HRB Experience - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First red flag was there were only two customers drinking beers and not ordering food. It's a bar setting in the middle of the mall. And it's filthy. They use these weird droppers for soy sauce which don't seem hygienic. Someone uses the dropper and dips it in their food. The food particle gets in the bottle. Yuck . I made the terrible decision of eating here. I ordered a cut roll that was super fishy and warm. Why would a roll be warm? The edamame was mealy. I've never experienced that. Must have been old. Miso soup was average. The waitress had a wrinkled T-shirt that looked like it came from the bottom of a hamper. The manager was sitting down and as new customers approached the restaurant she couldn't be bothered to greet them by standing up. She just simply said sit anywhere you want while continuing to sit and scroll on her phone. I can't understand how this dump stays in business. It's that BAD. I'm just lucky I didn't get food poisoning. My suggestion is get professionals to run this place, gut the staff, clean it up and make the kitchen visible. Also, have clean and fresh food to serve. read more

Aubrey is so sweet! Love the food and the vibe. Great before an AMC experience. Great very fresh and fast.

Perfect spot for happy hour - on your own little island away from the bustle of the mall. Eros took great care of us. Highly recommend the shishito peppers! read more

After shopping at Century City mall, handrolls sounded like a good dinner option. We walked up and had to wait around 30 minutes. I ordered the set of 6. Handrolls were decent. My favorites were the blue crab and scallop. read more

HRB Experience - 6 Rolls Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I decided to get the 6 roll combo here for my first experience and I really liked it! The staff was really nice, and considering that it was dinner time, there was no wait and I got sat right away. It was a cold night but there were heaters on the ceilings that reach almost every seat that kept me pretty warm. I was surprised to see that all the rolls came out at once, whereas at other hand roll places, chefs usually make you one roll at a time. However, I didn't mind that it came out all at once. I think visually, the sashimi pieces on top look a little funny because they look very unnaturally formed into shape, but the taste is great! The one thing I do have to point out is that the seaweed pieces are on the thicker side, not too crunchy, and a little tough. read more

Food and presentation was great! Not sure if it's fully worth the price though. Service was the big turn off here. The sign said to wait to be seated but multiple servers walked back and forth and didn't seat parties waiting. When giving a take out order the server was kind of rude, then forgot some of our order and shrugged it off before filling it. read more

How the heck is this place still open? I figured it would be like Kazu nori but... no way. Their hand rolls are insanely tiny!!! Half the size of kazu nori for more money. Also, the taste isn't even that good. The rice isn't as delicious, and the fish isn't that fresh. The happy hour says '2 pc' for the hand roll but they don't tell you they take 1 hand roll and cut it in half... to make it 2 pc. That's false marketing and should be fraud. Unbelievable. I understand it's century city but there are better options in the mall. Been wanting to try this since they opened but Never ever coming back. read more

My first time at Century City and HRB Experience. Century City does not feel like a mall at all, but more like a thoughtfully designed experience with so many thriving plant mini landscapes and nice stores, an experience. The hand rolls here were so fresh, beautiful, and tasty. I ordered the three option, my friend the four which added bay scallops. We needed a mid-afternoon bite as we had had an amazing brunch around 11 and were doing dinner at 8. This light snack was so perfect. Food very good. Service a little funky and not as smooth and polished as it should be on a Saturday. Not terrible but not polished. We liked that live music was playing, the sun streaming, and the pretty outside setting. Little details like soy sauce from medicinal dropper bottles and truly the best ginger make eating here very unique. We will go back! The signature spicy tuna roll is APlus. read more

While the salmon was delicious and the soy sauce came in a unique & convenient dropper, the service was less than ideal making our visit just okay. The spot is located smack dab in the middle of the food court at the century city mall making it convenient and a cute spot to meet for a bite. We were completely ignored and waited for a very long time despite it only being half full. Nothing could be altered or substituted due to an allergy which was a bummer. May give it another try in the future but also not exactly at the top of my list. read more

I was at the mall with a friend when we wanted to grab lunch, and we decided to try HRB mainly because it looked like there wasn't a huge line and I love hand rolls. When we were in the middle of eating though, it seemed like a lot more people were coming in, so I wouldn't depend on it being slow. I found the hand rolls great, perhaps a little less creamy than the ones at Kazu Nori and they do serve them 2-3 at a time (rather than individually), but overall a very solid and convenient option if you're into hand rolls. We came earlier this year when the chef was trying on a new item on the menu, and he came out to talk to us about it and explain that it was more common in Japan. It was a really lovely touch and delicious--unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what he called it, but I think it's the side of the fish? I hope they ended up adding it to the menu because I would definitely order it! read more

Always good & quick service, love it here! A staple of Century City mall. Would recommend for anyone looking to grab a quick bite

Amazing ambiance and delicious hand rolls! Heaters above the bar are so great for night time!

Tried to come here a couple of weeks ago around 7pm and they were closing early. Made a reservation for last night and got a call right when we pulled up that it was very windy so they may close early. I appreciated the heads up and they were very nice and accommodating to make sure we were comfortable and under a heat lamp when we sat down. I love the century city mall so the vibe here is great. It's all bar seating which I liked. The menu is very similar to Kazu nori. we ordered the crispy rice with tuna to start and were pretty disappointed. each piece is really small and not technically on rice? I got the #5 signature hand rolls and they were good but not great. They give you individual soy sauce in droppers which was a nice detail. Overall I probably would only come back for sake. read more

Never returning here again. The food is awful. The manager is unbelievably rude. Asked for gluten free and received gluten. We didn't eat our food. When I called to tell the manager we got gluten she said what do you want me to do? And I asked for a 50% discount considering we didn't eat half the food because it tasted horrible. She then proceeded to ask me if we were in the hospital. Disgusting behavior. I hope others read this review and avoid your restaurant. read more

One of my favorite spots in LA! Kristen was also awesome and provided excellent service!

Kristin is the best. Literally never had a better server. So kind, and wonderful, and got everything right. 10/10, give her a raise!

Suhaila had great recommendations and amazing service !! The food was great and fresh.

The service is terrible. I stood in line for 10 minutes at the hostess booth where no one was there. The waiter saw us but kept tending to the tables, this is understandable as they seemed understaffed. However, when two white people walked up to the line she told them you two can sit right here and we were simply ignored. After waiting 5 more minutes, she finally told us to sit anywhere where available. We sat down and had to wait 5 more minutes for her to finally give us the menu. Once we ordered we received our food and it was unrolled which I guess is their niche. I kind of think it took a while for the food to come out when all it is -- is fish and seaweed, since they don't wrap it. Also it's good to note that their soy sauce is very light and comes in a dropper so you feel like a scientist eating your sushi. It's not really my cup of tea. My main problem was the waiter appeared favoring some guests more than others. I understand not being able to get along with every single guest but she seemed very inattentive to those that weren't white. It took so long for us to order, and get the check whereas those that were white got immediate service. I don't normally blame race on people's behavior but it seemed really blatant as other people that weren't white also had trouble getting a hold of the waiter. The seating is outdoor and the vibe is busy as people are walking by shopping. To be honest I wouldn't recommend this place, you're better off going to Kazu Nori down the street as they have better service and better food in my honest opinion. read more

HRB Experience is conveniently located on the Dining Terrace @ Westfield Century City. It's patio bar seating with heat lamps in the ceiling. Dogs were allowed too! KazuNori is definitely the golden standard for hand rolls. HRB Experience is not KazuNori, but I didn't think it's as terrible as some Yelpers are making it out to be. 6 Combo (4/5): I docked off a star for not being able to substitute salmon as I don't like salmon. The presentation was neat and I enjoyed the soy sauce dropper. Unconventional, but kept mess at bay for only dripping soy sauce on top off the raw fish. No issues with the taste of fish and rice, and I was really full in the end. Lisa cocktail (5/5): Refreshing and delicious mixture of shochu, plum wine, and maraschino cherries. I didn't expect it to give me a buzz, but it did! Lastly, quick shout out to Amber who's the nicest and sweetest server. She's bubbly and provided great recs for cocktails. read more
