Just stopped here after watching my kid's band perform at the parade championships. The nigiri was one the best we have had and the rolls were also good. We also ordered the lunch special with gyoza , tempura and the chillean Sea bass. It was delicious! Will come here again next year If the band makes it to championships! read more

I've been here countless times already, and I even felt the need to create a Yelp account just to rate them(they have such bad reviews, it makes me so sad!). Honestly if you come here, I suggest for you to order a Chirashi bowl, it gets you all the good stuff, and the cost isn't very over the top. The management is great, even though the waiters and waitresses can be unresponsive, the actual chefs are VERY responsive and even joke around with you to keep the mood light. It gets packed at times, but if you can, try to sit at the sushi bar. The chefs will definitely keep you entertained, and they'll make sure you leave happy. Parking can be pretty bad, unfortunately, but this restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of Arcadia. If you're willing to pay a little bit more for dinner, and you're craving some good( and I mean good) sushi, then Opus sushi is where you should go. It's better to other places I've gone to, such as Oto-Oto and Hinotori, and they give more bang for your bucks. read more

Fantastic Food!!! Excellent!!! If you want fantastic Japanese food this is the place to go in Arcadia!!! Yum! Yum! read more

Been coming here for months. Awesome sashimi and suhi, consistently high quality, chirashi and sashimi both. Any specials have also been great - uni, kampachi, etc. Staff is friendly and responsive. Strong recommend - definitely try if you're in the area. If not, it's even worth a trip.... you know. like the Japanese Din Tai Fung :O read more

Food is good. Sushi rolls have a nice fish to rice ratio. The only complaint I have about this place is the waitress. We sit down for 2 minuets and she comes asking us for our order. We tell her we aren't ready, she comes back in 30 seconds and asked if we are ready now. Let me read the menu before you ask me if I'm ready! read more

One of my favorite sushi place. Lunch with their deluxe chirashi is the best deal in town. Texture and temperature of the fish was always prepared the way i liked. Its never chewy and can feel the fat melt in your mouth. Its an art easier said then done read more

If you come here for sushi, they got lots of selections. Fish and all the seafood are fresh. But if you are not sushi person, can't eat something raw, they somehow don't have many choice or it's not as good as their seafood/sushi/sashimi/raw food. I think the ramen can have some improvements. Service is good. I will come back here if I don't bring small kids or someone who doesn't eat raw fish/sushi. read more

Having lived in Japan for over half a decade, I have become quite picky about my Japanese food...as most places don't taste authentic. My cousin took me for omakase last night and it was one of the best Japanese meals I've ever had. Everything was done to perfection! The chef had prepared an amazing menu for us, ranging from amazingly prepared uni and lightly seared otoro tuna to absolutely divine wagyu. This place is a hole in the wall for diners who have a love for authentic Japanese cuisine. The chef is accommodating too....so if you're looking for Americanized sushi (ie. Philadelphia Rolls)....I'm sure he'd make it to your liking if you tell him! The service was great, the food was amazing, would definitely come back next time we visit LA. read more

The lighting in this restaurant is kind of depressing. Too dim. Food is just a OK. read more

it started off pretty good, but as we sat & ordered @sushi bar, i felt all our sushi got warmer, which shouldnt b da case... da quality isnt bad, da temperature of fish needs 2b bit lower... read more

I love coming here for the wonderful sashimi! I enjoyed my meals each time I've been here (Multiple times). Although I can't eat much of any seafood outside of the raw fishies, what I've tried is delicious and prepared nicely (omakase, chirashi bowl)! A big bonus if you can talk to chefs while at the bar. Always nice to meet new people that would like to improve a business daily. I love the iced green tea and their ice cream desserts. Anyone who will is willing to try this place must ask the server for what ice cream they are serving after! Will be coming back and hopefully try new foods on the special menu. read more

I'm Japanese and I think the food here is real Japanese food (not Americanized )It's very hard for me to find the place they offer Japanese real food with reasonable price But I loved their foods We ordered fresh oyster , ankimo ,Ikamaru,and a few kinds of sushi All the food was amazing I was really happy with that service is not good enough but still I would like to come back here again (the servers are not attentive ,don't look around so it took me more time to call them) read more

Time for another update: I can happily say that Opus Sushi is a high quality sushi restaurant again! I love their white fish set and halibut fish jaw as usual. We tried the Bluefin Tuna Trio today, which has one piece of each grade of tuna, and it was decadent. The sashimi they served today was so fresh and thickly sliced. Rice to fish portions are good, and when I asked for extra wasabi, they were super generous and gave me a giant plate of both regular and fresh wasabi (pro tip: their fresh wasabi has more kick in it!) I also noticed the rice itself improved in quality. Usually you don't go to a sushi restaurant and rave about the rice, but the texture and sweetness was ON. POINT. Gotta love your carbs! You can tell the owner has a lot of passion for his restaurant and it makes me really happy to see this hole-in-the-wall restaurant flourishing again. Would recommend to a friend, but prepare to spend some big bucks! tl;dr: Great sushi restaurant that doesn't skimp on the portions, although price is higher than other restaurants. Worth the quality and taste though! read more

Went there for a second visit with some friends... just want to say that if you don't plan to spend some serious money on Omakase, the regular food is average, the service isn't great either, thus the OK rating. And I think I had a better time at a nearby izakaya. read more

I didn't respect how decent this restaurant could be... I was so wronggggg! The quality is so good and various chooses of the menu must satisfy you. I really recommend this restaurant. I felt so satisfied after the meal and I'm gonna go there at least three times a month!!! Love it!!! read more

I come here about twice a month (before the stay at home order) and always order the same thing. This time, I decided to order something different. I came last month and ordered the deluxe chirashi for $40. I was hoping it would be really good since I always order the regular one. When I got it, I removed all the things I normally don't eat, such as the ginger, wasabi, green seaweed, and purple seaweed. After removing these, there was literally nothing but a few pieces of fish sitting on the corner. I wish I took a picture of how much of a rip off this "deluxe" chirashi bowl was. They literally just fill the bowl with these fillers to make it look full. Plus, the fish were so thinly sliced and only had maybe 10 pieces of fish. Even the regular chirashi bowl has thicker slices. The fish were not higher quality either. The chefs have gotten really stingy with the fish cut even for the regular bowls but since it's not as expensive as the deluxe, I don't complain. I also came at a time when there was only one other table and I know for a fact that a lot of their customers have stopped coming due to the coronavirus scare (I ate their right before dine in was removed). I came here to pick up some dinner too a month and a half ago, and the whole restaurant was completely empty at 7pm. Even though they have fewer customers, they should not be so stingy with the customers who are still coming and providing them business. I will not be coming back. They charge way too much and give literally nothing. With $40, I can order so much more at another restaurant or even buy a ton of groceries. I also tipped too much for a place that doesn't even value their customers who were still coming. read more

Opus omakase (sushi only) amounted to $140/person. Over 13pcs of fresh fish and Chef Ken threw in the special of the day --lobster dynamite. The dynamite was a half of a whole lobster filled with a mixture of lobster meat and mayo, grilled onions and enoki mushrooms --amazing. Highly recommend this sushi spot out of all the local ones. The quality of fish is out of this world. Wait times can be long when sitting at the bar, even with a reservation. Free ice cream in a cone is served at the end of the meal, your choice of flavor. read more

It's my reliable local sushi restaurant. It's on the pricey side but food are well worth it. They have a lunch menu at a bit better deal.

I love this place!!! the uni bowl is super fresh and yummy! The picture I took was so beautiful and the waitress that helped us was so nice. My church teacher brought me here for my birthday lunch and let me tell you, there lunch deal is so good. The uni bowl i got was only $24.95 for lunch. That is such a great deal for uni. I also really like the giant raw scallop they have. Its so fresh and so tasty! It just melts in you mouth I feel and I was like blown away. Such a great deal for $25. I had a blast coming here for the first time and Im gonna be coming her more offend. hehehe :] read more

Sushi is always fresh and made by highly experienced chefs. Unique dishes are presented along with a few familiar sushi and roll favorites. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this restaurant is worth the higher prices you'll pay vs. large low quality pieces. Updated menu and renovated restaurant also. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon around because Din Tai Fung wait time was 75 mins and DTF #2 was 90 mins. Walked across the street and ended up here. The inside of the restaurant does not reflect what I had expected on the outside, which is a good thing. Nice, relaxing and soothing feel. We were greeted upon arrival and didn't have to wait for seating. My brother and I each had lunch special where you choose 1 item from section A and another item from section B, for under $13. However it was $1 more to make your sushi roll hand cut. I had the spicy tuna roll and beef teriyaki. Our meals also came with free miso soup and a bowl of rice. We also ordered two piece white tuna which was $5. I was surprised how big the pieces were, nice. I was a little surprised that our teriyaki was served first and not at the same time as the sushi. In fact, it came out another 10 mins later. It didn't bother me because I was just so hungry at the time. Food was delicious. I would definitely come back (if Din Tai Fung is too long of a wait). read more

New sushi joint in an old Taiwanese food spot. The interior hasn't changed much since Liang Mama closed, which is a disappointment since the space is far too large and the tables too far apart to make it feel like a cozy intimate sushi restaurant. The menu is very limited with just some of your typical Japanese dishes-- teriyaki this and that, three different types of salads, endamame, etc. No signature dishes or different spins to make this restaurant different from all the others. It's almost too small of a menu. The fish is fresh, but again, nothing outstanding or spectacular. Portions are not big, nor small except for the yellowtail, which I thought lacked meat. Actually, come to think of it, portions were on the smaller side. Miso soup came out nearly room-temperature cold. Chriashi bowl was OK, but again, nothing special. In one word, the food here is underwhelming. Service is good. Servers kept coming by to check on us and to keep refilling our tea even after we paid and signed the check. Price-wise, we paid the amount that we usually pay whenever we eat sushi, but I left feeling unsatisfied because something was missing from our meal and I can't pinpoint it... read more

Lunch menu was okay and portion was bit small for the price. Surprise how their sashimi was fresh and the temperature of the fish was just right. Parking can be a hassle as the plaza is share with others. Maybe i will give them another try someday. read more

I think this is my family's monthly go-to place for sushi lunch. The lunch specials are much more worth it than the dinner prices. The sashimi is fresher than most places! Sashimi lunch is only 13.95 I believe for at least 10-12 pieces of sashimi, rice and soup! :) read more

I initially started this review with a disclaimer but it got so long I figured no one would be interested about the good things I have to say about this place, so here goes nothing... This place has the best VALUE hands down in their chirashi lunch special. Don't get the deluxe, it's double the price with seemingly less fish. For under 12 bucks, you seriously can't beat the value in this bowl of wholesome satisfaction. I adore sushi and unless you drive to dtla and line up an hour for sushi gen's lunch special, you won't beat this deal. In less than ten minutes after ordering, sushi chef mr. awesome (never had the time to ask for his name since I'm always mesmerized by the glimmering bowl sitting in front of me) The sushi rice isn't actually cooked to perfection but it's suffice to say the least. The shining star in this meal is the fish. Ample slices of maguro that rivals what other sushi restaurants claim as toro, hamachi, tai, wonderfully whipped up slice of tamago (cheap but i love this when it's made well), sake, negitoro, and spicy tuna all fuse together in perfect harmony to provide for a well deserved reward from a hard day's of toil (half day). The quality of the fish isn't always the best but definitely better than average, and I have pretty high standards. The sushi chef, albeit young, has decent knifework. I've also splurged on occasion and ordered nigiri and it was actually decent as well, so it might be worth a try though the prices might be a little inflated. and now for my.... DISCLAIMER This place overall probably doesn't deserve a five star rating, but based on how often I come here, I feel compelled to slap on that extra star. This rating only applies to lunch and is based solely on food. read more

Amazing service from Chef Ken. He's very generous and friendly. We had the omakase. The quality of food is super fresh and delicious. Food is a bit on the pricey side. Total came out to be $170/person after tax and tips. Ouch! read more

First time here and I'm sold. Sat at the sushi bar and the chef was awesome, really nice guy who had a great sense of humor, and made even better sushi. The staff was all very helpful, I was seated quickly on a Friday night, and they have the Clipper game on one tv with the Laker game on the other. Food was solid, and it surpassed my expectations. Prices are slightly high but in no way shocking, and the quality is there. The menu is all on an iPad which is really convenient, the space is clean and well lit, and there is quite a bit of standard table seating aside from the sushi bar. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Opus Sushi - Yellowtail jalapeño roll- yummmm! - Japanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Had dinner with my 5 year old daughter. In short, very good place and I'm a little picky with my Japanese food. They were friendly and prompt with service. What we ate: - edamame (good) - vegetable udon (very good, broth was delicious) - yellowtail sushi (large pieces, fresh, good rice, even gave the little "leftover" slices on the side) - Ebiko sushi (good) - tempura shrimp roll (very good, not a showy roll, just good quality ingredients that don't need covering up with fancy sauces, etc.) I would definitely come again, want to try more of the sushi! read more

Truly an Arcadia gem! I've live in the San Gabriel area all my life and this is literally my second time dining with them. I had their different courses last night and I can say I was blown away by the quality and preparation of their food. Seafood was fresh, savory and consistent through presentation. Their prices are very reasonable. Will find time to dine in for lunch. read more

Excellent nigiri sushi--fresh quality and generous portions at a fair price. I recommend sitting at the sushi bar; sushi chef Ken is friendly and puts a lot of care into making your sushi. I greatly appreciate the extra effort he takes by tearing out the tendons off the chuu toro--I don't even get that kind of service from other sushi chefs. The iPad menu provides photos of most menu items and can be helpful to the uninitiated, the curious, or the casual. However, my experiences with the non-sushi cooked items were mixed at best: the uni pasta is pretty good, but I would not order the nabeyaki udon and the agedashi tofu again, in particular. At the end of the day, I come here mainly to eat sushi, not for the non-sushi items... but for those who want more than just sushi, then knock down a star or two. read more

Opus Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

The service once you get in the restaurant is genuinely sincere. They treat you with a respect as a customer and talk to you like a friend. The fish there is fresh and chiefs can even demonstrate it to you. They make the sushi or sashimi in front of you so you know what they are doing to the fish. The servers are all so nice and attentive, the waitress walked by frequently to make sure our tea cups were filled and take our finished dishes away. They have pictures of each dish on an iPad they give you when you order which matches the modern ambience and design of the restaurant! I will definitely visit again! read more
