Trendy temaki bar at the Original Farmer's Market! I had dinner here with a group of three friends on a Friday night. We sat on the patio. As the sun was setting, there were plenty of heat lamps to keep us warm through the night. The food was delicious. The fresh, high-quality ingredients were front and center. The service was exceptional! The decor is a simple Japandi style, but the space is very small. We were able to order (2) appetizers, (1) cocktail each, and (4) temaki each. We spent around ~$90 per person. There is free (2) hr parking with validation. DRINKS Spicy margarita - Beautifully assembled and delicious! APPETIZERS Edamame - A classic. Nothing special. A few pods were a little overcooked, but still tasted good. Spicy tuna crispy rice - Another classic. Small for an appetizer. Probably shareable for two. TEMAKI Kumamoto red snapper - This was recommended by the server. Interesting flavor profile. Coconut shrimp - Comfy and easy to eat. Spicy lobster - Flavorful. My favorite of the night! Shizuoka - Perfect amount of truffle oil on the salmon. Very fresh fish! read more

First off...This place is confusing to find! It's def a hidden gem!! It is attached to SAVTA restaurant upstairs right next to Dupars. Don't bother waiting for the host at the bottom - just walk upstairs so they can attend you.We were waiting /standing for a long time before we decided to just walk upstairs and let them know we had reservations. Must say these handrolls are yummy and refreshing. Each roll is prepared beautifully. My fav are the following : Spicy Lobster Spicy Tuna Toro Truffle Coconut Shrimp Drinks: not my fav. Passion fruit Margarita was too tart. Parking: $$ parking lot read more

Really enjoyed our meal here. They've only been open for a month but have made sure to get everything up to standard. Go up the stairs near dupar's and you'll find this really cute temaki bar. Red snapper! Perfect the way it is and my favorite bite. I also really enjoyed the coconut shrimp. That one was surprisingly good. And we had to order another. We ordered the toro and wagyu but didn't like the eel sauce pairing. (You'll find eel sauce on most of their temakis) it's great with some but too much on others. I don't think it needed to be on the black cod miso or the wagyu or the snow crab I didn't realize eel sauce was on all of those when I was ordering until they came out. I will say the quality of all ingredients are very high though. All the fish were fresh and cut properly. We will definitely be coming back but will be more strategic about ordering. read more

Cool rooftop ambiance but the food took forever! The salmon and yellowtail sashimi were very good. But the food is over priced. The temaki wrapper doesn't work well. It makes the meat fall off and it's hard to eat. They need more chefs to get the food out quicker and should bring the temakis one by one, rather than wait for all of them at once read more

Sora - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sora Sushi is an excellent spot at The Grove and a great choice when you're craving high-quality sushi in a stylish setting. Everything feels thoughtfully done--from the presentation to the overall vibe. The fish was fresh, clean, and well-balanced, with each bite showcasing great texture and flavor. The hand rolls and specialty bites were especially impressive--simple, elegant, and executed really well without being overly heavy. Service was attentive and smooth, and the ambiance fits perfectly with The Grove--upscale yet relaxed, making it ideal for a casual dinner or a night out. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is due to the typical Grove crowds and pricing, but the quality absolutely justifies it. Overall, a standout sushi spot that I'd happily return to and recommend. They also show you how to unwrap the hand rolls properly--simply slide the plastic sleeve off from the top so the nori stays crisp and fresh while you eat. read more

So excited for this new location at the grove!!! It was absolutely delish! Price point was decent, especially for the location! YAYS: Spicy tuna jalapeño Black cod Red Snapper Nays: Seared toro - wasn't my favorite flavor, the fresh tuna was so much more flavorful Thoughts: - Spicy tuna crispy rice - the flavor was a little lacking, and the rice was super sticky. I think it may have been a little overcooked cause it stuck to my teeth like glue! **Next time I'm trying to albacore crispy onions! - Their green tea is BOTTLED, and that wasn't specified on the menu. It also had like 28 g of sugar. I would've lived a fresh option with such fresh fish. - I didn't think about it till after cause I wanted to experience everything as it is presented, but an offering of wasabi would have been the cherry on top. I felt some of the rolls would've only been improved with a bit of wasabi kick. - service was kind and attentive! DEFINITELY RETURNING! I have to try the trio!!! read more

Love that there is now a rooftop option at the farmers market! I came by on a Sunday night at 7:30, and my fiancé and I were the only two people inside the entire time we were there. There were a couple tables occupied outside, but I wanted to enjoy the sushi bar experience! We started with drinks: I got the hulk and my fiancé got the old fashioned. His was great, but mine was a little forgettable. Not ice cold and all I really tasted was cucumber. The night we went, they were out of edamame so we started with the cucumber salad and spicy tuna crispy rice. Cucumber salad was basically vinegar soup with about half of a miniature cucumber shaved thin. Tasty, but I'd say not worth it. Just jump right into the Temaki! The crispy rice was fresh and warm. You get 4 small pieces for $14. The crispy rice tasted almost like McDonald's in a good way? The tuna was flavorful, but not too spicy. Now, the temaki are not built to be shared but we couldn't decide what to try so we ended up passing them back and forth. We tried: red snapper, spicy bluefin tuna, yellowtail jalapeño, seared toro, salmon cucumber, spicy salmon, tuna poke, black cod miso, and the seared salmon. The standout for me was the red snapper which was so delicately prepared with the perfect wasabi kick (I had to order a second one so I could have it all to myself!), meanwhile my fiancé's favorite was the tuna poke. The black miso cod was a nice warm contrast to the raw fish and would be a great way to ease into the temaki or finish it off. The rest kind of blended together to me. They were all good, but not as unique. We haven't had the chance to try the sister restaurant Savta yet, but thankfully since they share a kitchen, the dessert menu is shared! We ordered the Nutella pizza and it was delicious, even though we were so stuffed. The dough was bouncy and crispy, with warm Nutella on top. I definitely recommend sitting at the sushi bar and hearing the description of all of the dishes from the chef himself. There's no way to get a fresher bite, too! read more

I loved the intimate space, cozy outdoor seating. What really stood out to me was how they serve the handrolls. Instead of wrapping everything up ahead of time, they bring the filling out beautifully prepared and seasoned, and the nori comes separately. You build each roll yourself right before you eat it. It's honestly such a smart idea and no soggy nori, ever. Every single bite was perfectly crisp and I have to say, I'm usually not a huge nori fan. A lot of times it has that strong ocean taste that kind of takes over. But this nori was completely different. It was super fresh, light, and crispy without that overpowering sea flavor. It totally changed my mind. I also loved that the chef seasons and sauces the fillings for you. Everything was balanced and thoughtful, so all you had to do was wrap it up and enjoy. It felt interactive, creative, and just really well executed. You can tell they care about the details and it makes such a difference. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food was fresh and generally good quality, but at the price point I expected a more memorable experience. Portions were very small, and the overall value just wasn't there. The space bills itself as offering a "rooftop" dining experience, but it's honestly underwhelming. The view overlooks a small parking lot, and while the ambiance was fine, it didn't match the level you'd expect given the marketing and prices. It's also worth noting that the restaurant doesn't have its own entrance. We were seated through the restaurant downstairs by their staff, which made for a confusing first impression. Overall, not a bad meal, but absolutely not worth the price tag. You can find the same quality (if not better) elsewhere, without the hype. read more

This place has good/decent "hand rolls" but they are very small and extremely overpriced. This place is a zero on the value scale. Save your money and go to Kazunori or SUGARFISH. My gf and and I came for lunch and $250 later were still hungry and we aren't gluttons. read more

Inside is tiny but cozy. The triple alone for one handroll was 32.00. However, it tasted like heaven. The wagyu was delicious and the cod is meh. Didn't taste fresh to me. I also asked for tuna on rice cakes and something was off. Sent it back. Service was spot on. Very friendly and on top of everything. Park in the farmers market so you can get validated. read more

Finally able to try this place for lunch. Had the miso soup, baked crab and I forget what the other hand roll was, but everything was very flavorful and extremely fresh.. The hand rolls are more like open-faced tacos. They're a bit expensive. And they have little plastic things on the seaweed you have to pull off, which is smart for the seaweed, but not smart for the environment (*thank you for coming to my Ted Talk*). This was more like a treat more than a lunch. Our server was lovely and attentive. It is hard to find to the entrance, though. You have to go through Savta, below, which I believe is the same ownership group. One callout: no elevators to get upstairs, so lacking in the ADA-complaint department. Still five stars, though. read more

Sora - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sora Temaki Bar is officially my new go-to sushi spot. I tried the spicy yellowtail, baked crab roll, and crispy rice with tuna and every bite was better than the last. The spicy yellowtail was packed with flavor and super fresh, but honestly, everything was fire. I also had two lychee martinis, and WOW so smooth and delicious. I could've had three (okay, maybe four ). The vibe of the place is unique and elevated, definitely not your typical sushi night. I sat at the bar and loved how everything was served fresh, one roll at a time. The presentation alone was chef's kiss. Shoutout to Angel, my server super sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful sushi experience that feels a little different (in the best way), this is it. read more

Sora? More like Sorry. If you're looking for mediocre food, chaotic service, and birthday-level disappointment, congratulations--you've found your place. We came to Sora in Mid-City to celebrate a friend's birthday, and what we got instead was a full-blown masterclass in how not to run a restaurant. Let's start with the service: confused, forgetful, and unapologetically slow. Orders were wrong, corrections were sloppy, and basic requests felt like we were asking for the moon. And the birthday candle? Nonexistent. Imagine sitting through an underwhelming dinner only to have them forget the one thing that made us pick this place in the first place. It's giving "we're new here and have no idea what we're doing." Rookie moves, all around. Plenty of restaurants in LA know how to make guests feel special--Sora just isn't one of them. Do better. read more

Where do I start ... we are at a rooftop overlooking the city enjoying some of the best drinks and food we've had in a long time!!! Snapper was spectacular and the drinks were delightful The best part from beginning to end is the service - super welcoming, professional and most of all genuinely kind and friendly. We started with David who was the sweetest and funniest with us and patient while we figured out what we wanted and made some epic suggestion. Then we closed out the experience with Anthony who was attentive, kept our table clean and tidy and made sure we were safe from the sun as it was setting in our eyes. what a great experience overall and worth the visit for sure !! read more

I tried this place for my birthday this past Friday, and I have to say this was the first time I think I have ever had food that tasted this fresh and totally was worth the price. It was some of the most delicious bites of food I have taken in an incredibly long time, and the restaurant itself is really beautiful and the wait staff are all incredibly sweet! The Wagyu hand rolls are probably the best I have ever had Wagyu taste, I can't recommend that one enough! read more

Let me tell you this place did not dissapoint. It might be my new favorite hand roll bar located on the second floor of safta in the farmers market. Their food has amazing taste and flavors with the red snapper hand roll and toro being my top favorites. You can't go wrong with any of their hand rolls. Their service was fantastic and I love how they had an indoor outdoor seating with great lighting. I will be back here again and can't wait to try other things off the menu. read more

Ambiance: is good, the grove's roof top is always nice. Food: tbh, was mediocre, it's fresh, but they're trying to do too much that some of the sauces are overpowering the flavor/freshness of the fish. Service: good, host and server were both nice. However, we find the server's description of the hand rolls were a little confusing . At one point she called them "tacos" ‍ Also, the menu was confusing. I brought my 4yo there thinking that she can eat the "Avacado Toast" listed on the menu, and when I got there and ordered it, I got a Tiny Avocado handroll that cost me $8...they should not be naming that "TOAST" when it's clearly on a bed of RICE! we ended up leaving early cuz we can let my 4yo starve why we feed ourselves. So we just went downstairs to eat some more at the farmers market. read more

Sora - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great rooftop sushi spot with a few hits and misses! We had a great time at Sora - the space itself is beautiful and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the Red Snapper and the Truffle Toro handroll - both were incredible! We also got the Spicy Crispy Rice Tuna, which was delicious. The virgin passion fruit mojitos were super refreshing and perfectly balanced. A couple of misses: the edamame was overcooked and mushy, so I'd skip that next time. Also, the Red Snapper handroll was better than the appetizer version, in case you're choosing between the two. One odd thing - the handrolls come in plastic sleeves, presumably to keep the seaweed crispy, but it felt unnecessarily wasteful and actually made eating them harder - the fillings nearly came out each time. All in all, would definitely return for the sushi and vibes read more

Sora is located upstairs from Savta--you'll still check in at Savta's host stand, and they'll escort you upstairs. Both spots are part of the same restaurant group. The space is small, so I highly recommend making a reservation. It's definitely on the pricier side for handrolls, but the quality makes it worth it. Great starters include the SPICY TUNA CRISPY RICE and the KUMAMOTO RED SNAPPER with TRUFFLE YUZU. The rolls themselves are smaller than average, so I needed about five to feel full. I had the RED SNAPPER again--it's surprisingly different from the sashimi. Standouts included the TORO TRUFFLE JALAPENO, A5 WAGYUM SPICY BLUEFIN TUNA, and the TRIO ROLL, which combines toro, Hokkaido uni, and caviar in one bite. The only downside was the use of plastic sheets to keep the seaweed crisp--you remove them just before eating. While I get the purpose, it does feel like a lot of unnecessary plastic waste. ENJOY! PS: Park in the Farmers Market lot--closest to Starbucks--and you'll see Savta right there. They validate parking, so it ended up being free! read more

The restaurant has only been open for two months, and it's hidden on the second floor of the marketplace at The Grove. It's a quaint little Temaki bar with an indoor outdoor flow to the floor plan and has nice minimalist decor throughout. We chose to sit outdoors as the indoor barstools didn't have backing, but it was a nice day out and the patio overlooks the busy interaction, great for people watching! The menu has the standard temaki options (~$7-11/piece), and also the Sora Signature options(~$12-16/piece). We went with the Poke, Scallops, Crab, and Eel. The presentation of the Temaki was cute with the the seaweed part wrapped in a plastic cover, which you'll need to remove on your own before enjoying the temaki. Unfortunately, the server did not show us how to properly do it and it was honestly quite challenging. Our Temakis fell apart and we ended up eating them with chopsticks. Also, we found fish bones in the temakis and not small ones either... luckily we were chatting and eating slowly. The temakis did taste good but imo quite pricey but I guess that's Beverly Hills pricing. I'm a big fan of Sushi and Temakis in general but maybe we should've given the restaurant more time to figure out the ops before visiting. read more

MY FAVVVVV I'm obsessed with this place like it's crazy the food is insane so good the chef is like the best vibes this place is awesome

I enjoyed this spot, but I didn't love it. The quality was good & I enjoyed the creativity in the hand rolls but something was just... lacking. Price is a little high, but it's at the farmers market so to be expected. Service was good & ambiance is fun on a little rooftop seated above satva. I can't say I'm rushing back but I certainly would go again. Overall, decent, just didn't blow me away. read more

Sora Handroll Bar is now one of my favorite spots in LA. It's perched on the rooftop of The Original Farmers Market, and we loved sitting outside to enjoy the sunset. The vibe is chill, and the staff were excellent. We started with some crudo, which was all super fresh and tasty. The biggest surprise was definitely the oyster handroll, it was delicious! I enjoyed all the handrolls, but my favorites were the seared toro, uni, and red snapper. Everything was well-made and flavorful. Great spot, will definitely keep coming back! read more

Gaya Made Our Night at Sora! The food and drinks at Sora are incredible, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the amazing service from Gaya. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and completely on point with her recommendations.

I came to Sora for the first time with low expectations--let's be real, sushi spots inside popular malls like The Grove aren't usually known for top-tier quality. But I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything was beautifully prepared. We walked in with no reservation and were seated right away with zero wait time. The hand rolls were the highlight--super flavorful with a perfect balance of rice, nori, and fresh cuts of fish. You can really tell they put care into the sourcing and prep. Not only did the presentation impress, but the taste exceeded what I've had at some standalone sushi spots in LA. Definitely worth a visit if you're at The Grove or nearby. A hidden gem in a place you wouldn't expect it. read more

Cute rooftop spot in the Farmer's Market above another restaurant Savta (check in downstairs and the hostess will lead you up). Sat at the counter (although you can't really see much behind the counter to watch the chef work) and ordered a few handrolls to try - my personal favorites were the red snapper and the seared tuna. Cute presentation as each handroll is placed in a holder in front of you to enjoy for maximum freshness of the fish and seaweed. Service was average, it was clear that a few servers were new and still figuring out the system. Overall, a nice experience, not sure if I would come again given the $10+/roll cost for most of their Signature menu items. read more

Cute new rooftop sushi spot in the Farmers Market. A friend and I came here before a movie at The Grove -- we didn't have a reservation and the hostess was a bit off putting about it. Almost every table and the entire counter outside was empty, and no one came the entire time we were there, so I'm not sure why it was a problem for us to be walk-ins. Anyway, we did get seated. I got the watermelon iced tea, yellowtail scallion hand roll, and seared toro hand roll, and we shared the spicy tuna crispy rice. The food is good but definitely overpriced -- $6 for a can of iced tea, $11 each for tiny hand rolls. I'm glad I tried it but don't think I need to return. read more

Gave this place a try and it was delicious! I started with a miso soup, only complaint is that it wasn't given to me hot it was lukewarm which I personally didn't prefer. I proceeded to try the yellowtail jalapeño temaki, the salmon truffle and the baked snow crab nori. They were amazing I loved the baked snow crab so much I got 2! But honestly each one, was tasty & the quality of the ingredients are top tier. I would only suggest to try this place out if you're not in a rush as it does take a lot of time to receive each order/handroll ...it overall took an hour of dining to get a soup and 4 handrolls spent a lot of time between each one kinda just waiting around & it wasn't particularly busy, so don't be in a rush here haha. Give this place a try though the servers are very nice and use InKind to get 20% back off your tab! read more
