    This place never misses! One of my favorite sushi places in LA! Brody and the staff always treat me and my lady with the best customer service ever. The Hollywood set is the way to go. The a5 wagyu and scallop with uni are two of my favorite items. The ambience is perfectly lit and I'll continue to come here again and again!

    I had a fantastic experience here! Darren and his team were incredibly welcoming and made sure my visit was exceptional. The food's quality and creativity, along with the delicious drinks and great ambiance, made my dinner very memorable! This place is a must-visit if you're in the mood for sushi hand-rolls in LA!

    This place is a little gem, the workers/service here are one of the nicest I have encountered in a long time. The sushi here is very fresh and I could definitely see myself come in here on a regular basis, become a local regular. Unfortunately, we do not live nearby so I hope that people take advantage of this establishment and make it their local Sushi spot. The ambiance was a small and quaint little spot. I do have one complaint. Once you enter, it does smell a bit fishy, which I get it, it's a sushi spot, but, I do not really want to smell fishiness in the air right off the bat as you enter... We did 2 Omakase and it was a very nice experience. Was it the nest, no, but it was great. There were few ones I was not a fan of, but, overall a great experience. Also, do the sake pairing and they have an interesting dessert shooter that has Yuzu tequila shot. They do have a ramen spot that I will try when I am in the area. I will be back for sure!

    The sushi bar itself is cute and on the corner of a building. Parking valet and structure staff were really nice. The vibe of the restaurant was modern and nice, with really friendly service. Sushi itself was really good, my favorite was the seared salmon and caviar tuna.

    Came in at 5pm and it was a good dinner to have right before a concert. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Food was solid, and reasonable for the price point. We got the set menu with 4 nigiri and 4 handrolls. The salmon truffle handroll hands down the best thing we had here. So much flavor and melt in your mouth goodness. Great casual experience that still delivers quality level sushi.

    If you are in Hollywood or anywhere nearby you need to try this place. Yum, yum, yum!! Black cod avocado handroll was so good. Brody was amazing, from the moment we arrived such a pleasant and friendly person. The restaurant has bar sitting. Their freshest sea urchin nigiri it melted in our mouths. The atmosphere is amazing, super clean, just delicious yummy food. You have to try it.. salmon OMG there's salmon Burrata. I would've never thought Burrata and salmon would work like that, but it was divine. The A5 wagyu A5. Wagyu Beef Nigiri was majestic to my tongue. Stop by and try their sushi.

    Been wanting to try this place for some time but had to wait for the hype to die down. Last time we were here we couldn't get in because there were so many people. I highly recommend you get yourself a reservation because even now for dinner on a Friday night we had to do the standing bar. I've never stood and ate at a restaurant before. It was a nice new experience. The staff is so friendly and they help out with the menu letting you know what their top specials are. My husband got a set menu and it comes with nigiri and hand rolls which was very nice and different. I got the yellowtail sashimi, spicy tuna wonton taco, toro handroll and the staff recommended the salmon tuna with truffle handroll. They said people come travel from out of town for this roll. It makes a lot of sense why. The truffle salmon belly handroll is something else. So umami and the salmon just MELTS into your mouth. Never had anything like it! I love it! I also got their yuzu ice cream dessert. It comes in a little sauce bowl wafer cone. They said to get other flavor it was caramel and yeast and I did try it but I had to change it to the yuzu because I'm more of a fruit girly. The other flavor had too much caramel taste for me since I don't like caramel. But it was light. It's just a personal preference. The restaurant was super accommodating and took it off the check with no issues for us. Anyways so glad I got to try this place out! Def worth a try!!!

    I ordered the four special hand roll set, which was $48, so slightly on the expensive side. However, they use really high-quality ingredients, including caviar, truffle, and Uni, which really adds to the whole experience and also the cost. Their hand rolls are a little bit on the smaller side, but I still left feeling pretty satisfied from the meal. I also ordered the yuzuade, which has a really nice, bright, citrus taste, and it's sparkling and homemade. The service here is nice and prompt. I came here on a Friday at noon, and no one was here. I arrived 10 minutes early, because the Yelp waitlist showed an average 50 min wait time, but that was not my experience. They also have one hour free validated parking in the back.

    Iki Nori keeps proving why it's one of my favorite hand roll spots in LA. Every time I come back the quality is consistent and the whole experience just feels dialed in. The rice is perfectly seasoned and warm, the nori is shatter-crisp, and the fish tastes clean and fresh. Nothing is drowned in sauce so you actually get the natural flavor of everything. The toro and scallop are must orders, but even the "basic" rolls end up being memorable because the balance is so good. The cocktails deserve their own mention because they are seriously that good. Thoughtfully crafted, not overly sweet, and they pair surprisingly well with the hand rolls. It's rare to find a sushi spot where the drinks are just as much of a draw as the food, but Iki Nori nailed it. What really makes this place stand out though is the team. Everyone is genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they care about the guest experience and it makes the whole meal feel fun and relaxed instead of transactional. Clean space, great energy, amazing food and drinks, and a staff that makes you want to come back. Iki Nori is the kind of place you end up craving again the next day

    $48 for 4 special hand rolls that consists of salmon, tuna, scallop, Uni, wagyu. All hand rolls were flavorful and fresh. It's a pretty small sushi restaurant and Service was fast and attentive. There's a parking lot around the corner that's convenient

    Jess A.

    Yes yes please come here! Splurge for the Premium Hollywood set and enjoy some super high quality sushi. The Wagyu and bluefin toro nigiri are so delish. The service is also fantastic. Everyone is super friendly and good vibes. Darren rocks!

    Melinda L.

    Loved Iki Nori because their sets include both hand rolls and nigiri , huge bonus since most hand roll spots skip nigiri altogether. The fish quality was incredibly fresh, the aesthetic inside is beautiful, and the staff was hilarious and welcoming. Parking was easy too, with 1-hour validation. I got the Sunset Set plus their limited-time mixed hotate, uni, and toro hand roll featuring Santa Barbara uni, definitely a standout along with the salmon burrata. I love cheese so the pairing worked well. This dish was fresh, slightly acidic from the tomatoes, subtle sweetness as well as citrus from the sauce.

    Ana T.

    Everything was delicious and fresh! They take so much care into making each handroll. The fish portion was more than enough and they really didn't cheap out on it. They are run by Indonesians but don't let that stop you from coming. They are super nice and friendly even gave us some freebies :) Not plenty of seats but my 3 people party got seated right away on a weekday night and they make the roll relatively fast too. There were only bar seats which makes it feel like an omakase. Price is the typical sushi/handroll place but it's worth to come on special days!

    A5 Wagyu. Superb!

I've…read moreheard my friends rave about Sushi Gen for years, and I'm surprised that I haven't given them a try until now. The plaza itself is unassuming, and at 7pm on a Thursday, most other businesses in the plaza had closed. The lot was full, so we paid $12 for valet parking across the street.  We waited for about 10 minutes for our seats at the bar, and honestly, the bar was so much fun! We sat right in front of our sushi chef and orated our orders directly to him, piece by piece. He was such a jovial soul and made our experience so warm and enjoyable. I was very impressed not only with his ability to make sushi but the attention and care he paid to his customers. For example, he noticed that I especially enjoyed the fattier cuts of fish such as ootoro and salmon toro, so when I ordered yellowtail, he recommended that I try the kanpachi toro instead. It was a great recommendation, and in that moment, I felt so seen. The chefs here are truly masters of their craft, both in sushi making and hospitality. In total, I had the toro, salmon, unagi, scallops, kanpachi, salmon toro, and kanpachi toro. Every piece of nigiri I had was very fresh and delicious. My favorite pieces of sushi had to be the toro. You actually get two different cuts of toro with one order, chuutoro and ootoro which are medium fatty and full fatty respectively. Each piece was so delicious and indulgent, I don't know if I can choose a favorite.  I had a wonderful experience at Sushi Gen, and I think that sitting at the bar was way more fun than what sitting at a table would've been. I loved getting to interact with our sushi chef and felt very well taken care of. The sushi was amazing. I'm already plotting an excuse for my next visit.

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.
