Toro perfection!!
Jude M.

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 5 Man if I could eat sushi everyday I would!! Back again and it just keeps getting better!! This time I took a friend who normally eats California rolls and they were taken away to another planet after trying this spot!! I always get the omakase but they have so much more to try!! This place was busy tonight and glad I made reservations but after seeing other people's food orders, I need to come back and try it all! As usual superior service and the staff here is amazing!! If you haven't tried this spot you're missing out! Prob eating California rolls with sweet sauce huh!!?? Spend some money and do yourself and stomach a favor! Better yet bring your girl, or a friend! This is the spot and I will be back but this time for all the other dishes! Thank you chef bravo

What a lovely place! Everything tasted great, but the Unagi was exquisite! I will be returning.

Perfect Toro

Soregashi is a true hidden gem. Truly authentic Japanese sushiya. I used to go here pre Covid for lunch because I worked in the area. Last week, my husband and I tried it again for dinner. We ordered à la carte- a couple orders of nigiri, a roll, sunomono salad, maguro bowl- everything was great. We enjoyed it so much we came back a week later and tried the nigiri omakase- $90 for 15 pieces of nigiri and one roll. Every bite was great, the rice is perfect. We will be back soon to try more things!

Specials menu
Brandon C.

Jonathan Gold always told us to look out for the strip mall restaurants. He's right. Given the seasonal-rotational menu, the omakase at $95 seems like a great way to experience Soregashi, but I generally like to order whatever I like, especially as the seasons provide new ingredients I can order. Onto the food. Usuzukuri is their special dish. It's hirame (fluke, not halibut!) that's cut so thin it's nearly transparent. It comes with a ponzu sauce, some daikon-chile paste, green onion, and lemon. The manager will recommend to mix the ponzu with the paste but will ultimately say to just eat however you like. The hirame is pretty mild, slightly sweet, and instead of being overly chewy, is a bit soft, will melt slightly in your mouth, and is a great way to open a meal. They seem to serve this first because it's mild and you want to experience the dish without blowing out your tastebuds. Soregashi does know their audience, though. They also serve a California roll. However, this is with real crab. When I asked to confirm it wasn't krab, the manager looked almost offended. The fact I gave him such momentary distain means I clearly went to the right spot. There's baked crab, cucumbers, and avocado. It's soft, crunchy, and essentially the Platonic ideal of a California roll since they don't cut corners and use quality ingredients. For my last visit: We started with madai nigiri (sea bream). The fish was soft and slightly crunchy with a sea-touched flavor with some sweetness. It's a good fish to start with but would absolutely get lost if it was eaten after a few sushi courses. It's pretty mild. From the special menu, we ordered the live ama ebi (spot prawn, sweet shrimp, sometimes called botan ebi [different!]). The heads come fried; the manager asked to confirm we wanted that. I'm not sure if they serve head-in miso soup, but I like it fried and it looked only lightly battered, possibly with a non-tempura blend. They were sweet, creamy, and with a soft crunch. The heads were crispy and to pay attention to detail, Soregashi cuts out the eyes. For some proteins, the eyes can be bitter, so this was a detail I took a note of but didn't necessarily need. The heads sit in a small pile of salt, so they're extra salty. I didn't need this, but that's a matter of taste. Generally, they seem to get flash frozen ama ebi, but seasonally, they can get live shrimp, such as right now. The mirugai ("jumbo clam" or "giant clam" or geoduck) was also served nigiri style. The meat was crunchy, sweet, and also sweet. To compare to the ama ebi, it was less creamy and with a lot more crunch and sweetness. There was a particularly toothsome mouthfeel that was satisfying. Apparently this comes from Seattle. We also tried nasumiso, which is eggplant smothered in a sweet miso sauce. The eggplant tasted broiled since it had some crispy parts to it at the edges. The meat was generally soft but there were some crunchier parts in the flesh to provide a great texture. The sauce covering it was great and vaguely tasted like a teriyaki mixed with a lot of miso (which makes sense given the shared ingredients). The sesame seeds also added an extra flavor. We ordered the kaarage (Japanese fried chicken). They only use free-range Jidori chicken. The batter is fairly light and the chicken is not in large pieces. It's served with lemon but otherwise is not strongly seasoned. This could have used some more salt and pepper in the batter, at least. However, the kaarage had a very crispy texture and maintained all the juice of the chicken thighs. Coho salmon was on the seasonal menu. The standard menu had king salmon. To compare and contrast, the coho was soft, buttery, and the salmon oil mostly came out at the end. For the king salmon, the flesh was even softer than the coho, but the flavor was more mild. The oily flavor was present throughout as opposed to just coming out at the very end in a flavor bomb. Shima aji (trevally, striped jack) was oily, but also very meaty and firm. Golden eye snapper aka kinmedai is quite pleasant. The flavor is very clean and the texture is probably appealing to people who like softer white fishes. It seems they quickly boil the skin to crisp it a bit. The greatest part of the meal was the dobin-mushi. This is an ultra seasonal dish that focuses on matsutake mushrooms. Served in a teapot, it's served in a container with flavored dashi, fish, shrimp, ginko, mitsuba, and, of course, the all important matsutake mushroom. The mushrooms give the teapot of soup an amazingly complex piney and fishy flavor. This is served with a small portion of sodachi (tastes like a sweeter lemon and orange) to temper the flavors. This must be tried to get the Soregashi experience. Fall seems to the right time. As winter approaches, they should get some firefly squid (hotaru ika) for an appetizer. Research says to expect the eyes to be cut.

I'm in LA for work for a month and have been to Soregashi every week! Here, you'll find extremely authentic Japanese sushi, with a fairly priced Omakase at $80. The chef prepares some of the best sushi I've had, and I've also enjoyed some of their appetizers. Soregashi has an excellent sake selection, which pairs beautifully with your sushi dinner. In my experience, the best sushi restaurants are tucked into unassuming storefronts in strip malls, and this is no exception. Walking by, you'd never know to come in (and by the way, make a reservation!), but you'll be amazed by the quality of the food and the excellent service.

Hirame Usuzukuri

The attention to detail at this sushi restaurant made my meal extra special. The cuts of fish, the almost invisibly thin-cut green onions in my miso soup, the way each sushi is presented... everything left me thinking... fuck sugar fish. HUGE find. A must visit. Enjoying every bite. Thanks for the great service. No wait, excellent recommendations, cold beer.

We also tried the seafood tomato udon, veggie udon, miso carbonara udon, and the fried chicken skin, and everything was delicious. Each dish had its own unique flavor, and you can really tell they put a lot of care into making their noodles. We came on a Saturday for lunch, so we expected a long wait, but it was actually very reasonable and totally bearable. Service was efficient, and once seated, the food came out pretty quickly. Overall, a great spot for fresh handmade udon, and I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

We didn't wait long as it was a Sunday afternoon, and our waitress was so helpful in deciding what to order (the menu is extensive!). We got the baked scallop roll, the crunch spider roll, and the Baja California roll. All three were amazing!!!! We also got spicy tuna crispy rice and the gyoza to start. I am not joking when I say they were the best restaurant gyoza I've had in Los Angeles. Juicy, warm, nice golden crisp on the bottom, and flavorful filling. The baked scallop roll was my personal favorite of the three; it was warm and savory, with an excellent bite from the juicy scallops. It was a great contrast to the Baja roll, which is cold and has crunchy elements to it. And the spider roll was one I didn't expect to like (my boyfriend wanted it), but ended up being my second favorite! The soft shell crab flavor is deliciously salty and pairs great with the surrounding flavors. I'll definitely be back for more!

The venue is small and does not have a bar or indoor waiting area so plan to arrive right on time. The guest waited outdoors until our exact time of seating (and they are right on time). N/Naka is a very intimate 28 course seasonal modern kaiseki that serves a combination of both fresh sashimi and warm courses to satiate your palate (heavier on the warm dishes). Seasonal ingredients from Japan and California are used to curate the finest delicacies. Therefore you're likely to try various specials with the changing seasons. I loved the Zensai which presented 7 small palate warming appetizer bites. Comes in a cute bento box like format. The creamy potato puree and tempura bites were my favorites. For the main course, I absolutely loved the Uni and Dungeness crab....so exceptional. Served in an actual Uni shell and filled with warm Dungeness crab meat and broth, egg white soufflé, and topped with a whole Uni. This should be their top dish. Another phenomenal course was the Rockfish. The fish complimented very well with the snap peas and kelp which brought out the flavor of the rockfish. Perfect!!! Shiizakana is their signature dish which made its debut on chef's table and served year round. An abalone truffle pasta. This was good but for me personally wasn't a highlight. Overall a good experience. At dinners end, chef Niki Nakayama came out personally to share our experiences. We got to meet the artist that curated this amazing dinner. Thank you Chef! Loved the experience. Get on that wait list ASAP!

Was sat immediately and served water. They have a pretty extensive menu of most things you'd find at a sushi cut roll spot. We ended up ordering the toro garlic toast, veggie tempura, ginza roll, and several pieces of nigiri sushi. The toro garlic toast was pretty good - sort of like a spicy tuna crispy rice situation ... but a little fattier and more garlicky than crispy. The ginza roll was pretty good too - a lot of fish in the roll and wasn't overwhelming with too much sauce. The tempura was good too- not super oily and all your typical veg involved. The nigiri sushi were pretty well prepared. The size was pretty good for the price - and each were accompanied by a small garnish on top or a little bit of sauce brushed on. All in all - I wouldn't say it's a date night place, but is a good easy eats sushi spot for rolls and nigiri for the price. Would recommend!
