I also liked the premium kaisen don which had high-quality seafood over perfectly seasoned rice.

For ramen, we got the Signature, Garlic Knock Out, Lamb, and Clam Butter Shio. They were all really good, so I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. The service was good, and there's a good amount of seating inside. The restaurant is also nicely decorated and has a nice atmosphere. I do think the SF location tasted slightly better, but I'd still definitely come back to this location!

The other was the soft shell crab roll which also was tasty. The flavors were on point with the combination of the sweet and umami. SERVICE Ordered my food to go then decided I wanted to eat it there. The owner was nice and gave great customer service. He even serve my baked salmon roll for there, and plated the other roll to go. I thought it was such a nice touch since I was on the phone and forgot to communicate that I'd like it done that way. He literally read my mind. AMBIANCE The place was elegant, and quieter which was perfect for the setting. There was tv on in case I needed some entertainment. I had a FT call I had to take with my friend but was also able to enjoy my food. It was a great place I'll definitely be visiting again.

I want to start this off by saying I've ordered delivery from Blosom quite a few times and the food…read morehas always been good, decent quality. It's not the best, but it's consistent and tasty. However, to not keep paying delivery fees, we decided to go in person since the restaurant is close by, and that was a mistake. It's a cute, clean restaurant in a weird location, tucked into a corner by the target. They have tablets at the tables, which is fun, and they still brought paper menus, but we ordered off the tablet. It is odd because while my husband was deciding what to order, the tablet told us to order or it would time out. So I ordered my food and sent it in and then a few seconds later, my husband put in his order. Mine came out quickly and was the quality I'd come to expect. And then...we waited. And waited. Other parties slowly trickled in (prior it had been mostly empty). When I saw they got their food long before my husband received his, I flagged one of the two waitresses and she assured us they were working on it. Like me, my husband got two sushi rolls. It took another 15 minutes (during which time soups and plates had been handily delivered to other tables) before my husband finally got his food. There was no apology, and no acknowledgment that two rolls took over a half hour. If they had forgotten the order or something had gone awry, that's fine! I understand the chaos of a busy kitchen. But to not acknowledge or check on us in a near empty restaurant is just poor service. I will stick to ordering online.

Their other rolls were also super packed and DE-LISH :). My new fav spot for sushi in Culver! We came around noon on Saturday and there was a slight wait. Since the inside is quite small, they can only fit about 8 or less parties. They have bar seating and a few tables. The interior was adorable filled with tiny Japan and Hawaii trinkets. PARKING Street parking as always in LA ): SERVICE Excellent service and kind. They are a small business so will charge a small fee for a Togo box or extra sauces and utensils. INSIDE Clean and cute!

You use a tablet to order and service is quick, even on a busy weekend night. Our favorite was salmon sashimi in a yuzu sauce. Only 5 pieces for that dish and we could've easily had more but had lots of rolls. Baked rolls are hefty with fish and veggies. Some a bit overhauled, but thats a small critique compared to the overall freshness and taste of the food. We had the spicy tuna roll, salmon party (nigiri and broiled), volcano and salmon lavah rolls. It was a great find, thanks to Yelp!

This was their first time to have a sushi bar type of experience and it was a very good beginner place to go. If you are just trying sushi for the first time. Everything was very fresh and it was a very vibe happening type of place. I loved the set of three hand rolls and having it with a green tea just felt really relaxing.

It was our first time here and we were excited to try it out. The server that seated us, quickly helped us to the bar area. He was very sweet and friendly, making the interaction nice and fun. We ordered with him and had chosen their 4 roll set. We were able to substitute their shrimp tempera roll out for salmon and another albacore due to a shellfish allergy. He also asked if we'd like it spicy, which I said yes to mine and not to my fiancé's. We also ordered two beers to try out. When we got our beers, we poured them into the glasses and my fiancé was worried about the sediment in his drink. We thought it was part of the beer, but when we lifted the can, it was expired. The server quickly brought the beer back to the manager, who compensated us and gave us an Ale instead. Very generous of him. Our appetizer came out first - we had gotten their spicy albacore on crispy rice. They had crispy pieces on top, and made it okay. The taste was unique. Then our rolls came out. I had albacore, salmon, and tuna for my first three and I don't think I was a fan of their "spicy"ness. The spice was little to none and the concept of "spice" was a mixture with mayonnaise. I wanted the fresh fish taste, but the mayonnaise truly masked it. The rolls were also quite greasy, yet their seaweed was crispy. My fiancé's rolls were a bit more fresh and pleasant. For our last roll, I was served a spicy albacore and my fiancé received salmon. This wasn't what we ordered, because I wanted a salmon roll to substitute the shrimp. They had mixed up our rolls, but I didn't complain. There was a lady seated next to us, and they got her order wrong, too. When I sat there to check Yelp reviews more thoroughly, it seems other patrons also generally have their orders wrong. They had quite a number of people eating there and I can see many people who like the restaurant. It's a great place if it's your first time at a Handroll bar and first time experiencing this type of restaurant. I've been to quite a few Handroll bars in a range of affordable prices, but I didn't enjoy the quality of fish here or the mistakes that were made. Although we were compensated, the mistakes added up from us and the other patrons eating there. There needs to be more care and consistency, I presume.

It felt like one of those slow, cozy days where time doesn't rush you…read more I met up with my college friend after what felt like forever, and somehow we both landed on the same craving--ramen. No debate, no hesitation. Just ramen. I had tried this spot at another location before and remembered liking it, so it felt like a safe, comforting choice for a long overdue catch-up. We got there at that in-between hour... not quite lunch, not quite dinner. The kind of time where the restaurant feels like it's just exhaling. It was completely empty except for us, which honestly made everything feel a little more intimate--like the space was ours for the afternoon. We sat down and immediately slipped into conversation, picking up right where we left off after graduation. Life updates, little wins, quiet struggles... the kind of conversation that only comes easy with people who've known you for years. And in between all that, our mouths were busy. The ramen came out hot, comforting, and exactly what we needed. Rich broth, satisfying noodles--one of those meals where you don't even realize how hungry you were until you take the first bite. We kept pausing mid-sentence just to take another bite, then laughing because we couldn't decide what deserved more attention: the food or the conversation. Service was really attentive without being intrusive. They somehow knew when to check in and when to let us just exist in our little bubble. The music was soft, not overpowering, so we never had to raise our voices or repeat ourselves--something I appreciate more and more these days. We stayed longer than we probably planned, but it didn't feel rushed at all. Just two old friends, warm bowls of ramen, and a space that let us slow down for a bit. Definitely one of those simple meals that turns into a really good memory.

I don't know a whole lot about most restaurants on this side of town, but I can confirm that the build your own poke bowl I got was pretty delicious! At $16.99, the bowl is a bit pricey for a normal-sized poke bowl. I got brown rice as the base and that was quite good. For the protein, I chose 2 scoops of salmon, 1 Hawaiian tuna, and spicy immitation crabmeat. For toppings, I got corn, edamame, spicy cucumbers and herbs. Also got the crispy onions and garlic topped with eel sauce and spicy mayo. It wasn't the best or worst bowl I've had, but it was very satisfying. Service was alright. Seating was extremely limited. Free parking on site is always a plus. And it's located on a very busy street/intersection. I might be back to order catering later this year since prices seem reasonable for the rolls.

How could my favorite cookie in LA be retired? How could Spider-Man or Batman or Buddha or any messianic figure "retire"? The injustice conjures to mind a memory of the reason that six years ago I walked with my fist up during protests only blocks from this location. I'm not ashamed to say I buckled to my knees and spouted flowing tears that rivaled the lovely new waterfall you have outside. With all the uncertainty and chaos in the world, there was one place of solace I could rely on to nourish my spirit and renew the daily fight to spread light in this shadowy world. No, not at church. But at Yuko Kitchen, where I could sit and audibly exhale while demolishing the not-too-sweet-sweetness of the green tea sesame cookie. So please Yuko and team, before I believe all the good is gone from this world. Bring back the delightful sweet treat that could heal the world. The hallowed Green Tea Sesame Cookie.
