We came in for dinner on a Sunday night with a large group and were seated within 15 minutes. From what we could tell, there were only two servers, and they were responsible for running their own food while also handling takeout orders. They did an AMAZING job for only two people managing so much. As soon as we were seated, we got waters and let our server know we would be paying separately. She was very friendly and worked with us perfectly. We were able to split the bill into four checks, which worked great for all the couples in the group. I ordered the Bento Box with salmon, and my husband got the Bento Box with chicken. We also ordered the Crunch Roll. The Crunch Roll came out first, and it was delicious and definitely lived up to the name--it was actually crunchy! I loved the size of the Bento Box. It came with so much food and included a starter miso soup. The miso soup had great flavor, although I personally prefer larger tofu pieces. That might just be a personal preference, though. I usually have a lot more to say in my reviews, but everything was absolutely delicious and the service was truly 10/10. I do want to mention that one of our friends ordered the ramen, and she felt the flavor was a little bland. Her parents own both a Mexican restaurant and a sushi restaurant, and one of her dad's rules is that if you're a sushi restaurant, stick with sushi and do it well instead of trying to do too many different things. One thing done really well is sometimes better than trying to do everything.

I love getting the "THE NOZAWA TRUST ME" and treat myself when visiting LA ($48 for dinner and fullest of the pre made omakase menus | $40 at lunch). If there is a fish you don't love, you can ask to substitute. But I highly recommend you try them all. The fish is so fresh, I love eating there the most because the fish is super cold, and the rolls are crispy hot on the outside and cold inside. BUT, their to-go and delivered options are just as nice and very well presented (see my pics). It's a must when visiting LA!!

We visited this sushi restaurant yesterday and had a mixed experience…read more The sushi itself was very fresh, but overall pretty basic. There wasn't much variety for kids, and substitutions/additions were not allowed, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children or vegetarians unless they're comfortable eating plain sushi or single ingredient rolls. The crab roll was not my favorite, but the lobster roll was excellent. Overall, this is a good spot if you want high quality, fresh sushi, but it may not be the best choice if you're looking for spicy, creative, or unique rolls.

At the bar, we had good service and attentive waiters when it came to ordering, serving, and getting the check. I tried their 4-hand roll set with toro, yellowtail, salmon, and crab. I started with the toro, which was rich and buttery. I also liked their yellowtail which had a strong flavor. My personal favorite was the salmon which tasted fresh and had a good texture. Finally, the crab hand roll was a good ending, as it was light and refreshing. This is also a no-tip restaurant, so the final price includes all.

20 Years of Family Owned Sushi, From Monrovia to Santa Monica…read more We stumbled upon this place while shopping along Third Street Promenade, and it turned out to be one of the best spontaneous finds we've had in a while. Mikomi Sushi originally started in Monrovia and has been family-owned for over 20 years. Their new Santa Monica location carries that same legacy, and you can taste it in the quality of the fish. Ambiance The interior is surprisingly spacious, with a blue-tiled full bar and lantern-lit decor that gives off a relaxed, slightly upscale vibe--even during the day. It feels welcoming for both casual lunches and evening outings. Food - What We Ordered - Kaisen Don ($60)- This was the star of the meal. The bowl came generously topped with fresh sea urchin, scallops, ikura, and an assortment of sashimi (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), along with tamago and sweet shrimp. The shrimp heads were deep-fried separately--crispy and flavorful, a very authentic Japanese touch. The side salad and miso soup were also well-executed, not just afterthoughts. -Rainbow Battera & Fiery Salmon Battera ($19 each)- I had never seen square-shaped sushi before. A quick search revealed that this is oshizushi (pressed sushi) from the Osaka style. The rice was firmly packed, and the toppings were layered neatly, creating a beautiful presentation. The spicy salmon version had a pleasant kick without overpowering the fish. - We also noticed that the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and their signature cocktails are popular among other diners--definitely worth trying next time. Portion & Value Two of us shared the Kaisen Don and two Battera boxes, and we actually had leftovers. The portion sizes are generous, and considering the quality of ingredients, the price point is reasonable for the area. Service The staff was attentive and patient in explaining the menu items, which helped a lot given the extensive selection. Special Offers - Happy Hour: Monday-Thursday, 2:30-7:00 PM - nigiri starting at $3-5 per piece. - Weekend drink specials: Beer tower for $38, and bottomless mimosas or sake bombs for $18. Parking Meter parking is available, but we found it easier to park at the adjacent Public Parking Structure 1--just a two-minute walk to the restaurant. Overall This is a solid choice for any occasion--date night, group dinner, or even a solo treat. The quality reflects decades of experience, and the new location maintains that standard. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

I've been here several times now and what has stood out to me is that each time I can count on the same quality of fish and same quality of service. Consistency is what sets restaurants apart these days. This location has delivered a top-notch experience on each visit. Their fish is incredibly fresh. The tuna is buttery and the garlic sauce has a hint of sweetness that perfectly compliments their fish. Their sesame wrap for the spicy tuna handrolls adds a nice crunch and is a great alternative to the seaweed wraps. I can't wait until my next visit.
