*** 2025 review #36 *** We stopped in for a little snack and truly enjoyed the friendly service, shoutout to Sarah! Had a delicious roll. Parking in the back.

Pretty decent Japanese food with good sized portions. Parking around this area is really hard to find, unless you valet at the restaurant for $7. My bf and I both ordered a bento box and the food was good; the teriyaki beef and spicy albacore roll were my favorites, very flavorful, beef was tender and the albacore was a little spicy. Teri chicken was alright, a little dry though. Tempura veggies were also solid, even after a 30 minutes drive home. However, at the end of the meal, my bf found a STAPLE inside his roll? It think it was in the roll too because he spit the staple out after eating his food. They staple the to-go bags together so I think one somehow fell into the food. We opened the stapled bags before opening any of the food boxes, so not 100% sure how it managed to get into the food.. Unfortunately this was found at the end of our meal, at home so there was not much we could do.

Found this place when we were in the area and craving sushi. Yelp reviews looked decent so we decided to try it out. It's a cute little restaurant along a street with other restaurants and bars. Parking can be tough but they have parking in the back for $7 with validation. Food overall was just okay. For the price and quality it wasn't a good value. The fish in my chirashi didn't taste high quality and wasn't very fresh. The bento box was also just okay. Service was fine, the restaurant wasn't very crowded on a Friday night. Overall it was a mediocre experience, I wouldn't come back again and don't recommend.

awesome service, it came out super fast! Enjoyed dinner! Destiny! free parking! awesome, free miso soup, free ice cream

I really did enjoy dinner here at Starfish. A friend and I met other friends for dinner reservations at around 7pm on a Saturday. I wouln't say it was packed but it was almost at capacity. There is seating inside and outside. The staff was very friendly, fast, attentive and just overall great. Started with some soft shell blue crab, japanese shrimp dim sum and shishito peppers. The peppers were average. The dim sum was a nice pleasant steamed dumpling shumai almost which was good. But the star was the soft shell blue crab. Lightly fried and did not taste like the ocean / fishy. It actually tasted like crab and it was very light. Comes with a vinegar based dipping. We had 6 rolls. Havana, Ex Girlfriend, Mango, Popcorn scallop, Dynamite, Fire Salmon. All rolls were good and nothing wrong with them. The stand outs were Ex Girlfriend was great. Doesnt have rice I believe. Well sauced and just overall tasty. Mango was a great and different from a lot of rolls especially at other sushi restaurants. This is very lively and uplifting in flavor. The Fire Salmon is great if you enjoy salmon and umami. It's not that spicy or spicy at all but have a pleasant chili oil that brings everything together. Great overall experience over at Starfish. Oh yeah lastly I did have some nigiri. Yellowtail which was good. And the O-Toro was great. Literally melted.

First time here and all the fish was very fresh and portions were generous too. This was probably the best roll i've had the yellowtail melted in my mouth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was also very clean inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the service was great. They kept checking in on me and made sure i had everything i needed

After my trip to Japan, I set an unfairly high bar for sushi back in LA. Starfish cleared it. The nigiri was the star: perfectly seasoned rice at the right temperature, topped with fish that was fresh and flavorful. The yellowtail and snapper stood out most, both with clean, strong umami and pristine texture. Beyond the nigiri, the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the hungry roll are worth ordering every time. Their service was also excellent. Food came out quickly, and the staff was warm and attentive throughout. It's the full package, and the closest thing to Japan I've found in this city.

Great service and great food. The restaurant is not very big, but we were able to get a table for 6. That is probably the biggest group size I would go with. I enjoyed the 3 item combo. We got the fried sesame chicken, grilled salmon, and sukiyaki. The portions were generous, and everything tasted great. I was worried the salmon might be dry but it was not at all. I didn't care for the baked crab roll (which is imitation crab, I expected that though). My partner liked it. There's paid parking or street parking that can be a little challenging. I also came here many years ago (maybe 15 years ago??) and had forgotten about it. Some of the photos attached to my review were from back then, and I guess were saved in Yelp all this time.

This is a small hole in the wall japanese place. The thing is - this place is located in central LA. Coming on a weekend, did not see a line or specks of human there. The sushi roll on average is about a bit mid range of rolls when there are cheaper places out there. The amount of food that they give is a medium amount of rice to fish ratio. I happen to be lucky and got a spot right outside (street parking) which may take a while. its quite, and i mean they are good, but as an avid sushi goer, this place was okay. It seems like a great sushi place for those who are around the hollywood region with pricier sushi but I have been to places that the fish rice ratio is more proper, and also the cost is not that expensive. The place did not also seem too clean so that was also an issue.

Starfish is a quality, hole-in-the wall local sushi joint strategically located on Vermont in the heart of Los Feliz. Our work group of four went for a quick lunch on a Monday morning. On arriving, we entered the small restaurant, with covered tables outside. We were quickly greeted and given menus. I ordered the 2-item Bento Box - enough for most people for lunch - which included a Miso Soup, Salad, Rice, and two items - in my case a Salmon Teriyaki and Spicy Tuna Roll ($19.50). The soup and rice were unremarkable and the salad fairly middling, although the spicy tuna roll was fresh, the tuna quantity generous, and with just enough kick. The salmon was similarly generous and came in a rich teriyaki sauce. The service was affable and quick. We received our food in less than 10 minutes (most welcome on a brief lunch break), although it did come piecemeal, and the check a little slow. Great credit to the owner, however, who offered us, gratis, a green tea (?) ice cream surrounded by a flaky, rich, lightly fried dough. Please see photo. I've honestly never had anything like it before; it's not on the menu, but it was delectable; smooth cool ice cream juxtaposed with the flaky, cookie-like exterior and chocolate sauce. The owner went so far as to divide it and serve it to us himself. Perhaps it's an experimental new dish? Perhaps the owner liked us? Amidst the stellar Japanese accent I could not tell, but the dish was as delectable as it was mysterious. Floored. +1 Service, +0.5 Food, overall +1 Star. The inside is clean, the outside breezy, and in a nice area with good foot traffic. Prices are average, with $20 a reasonable tag for a trendy area and a generous-sized lunch. If you're in Los Feliz and looking for good sushi, a good price, and a stellar owner, look no further than Starfish! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 4/5

A friend who dines here occasionally recommended we have sushi lunch here so I figure since I had picked the restaurant the last time we had sushi, let's explore and try a place that I've never eaten at before even though I had hesitations about eating in that area because I hate the parking situation and was resigning myself to searching for a parking meter but lo and behold, they have a spacious shared parking lot right behind their restaurant that you enter off of Vermont through an alleyway that's right next to their restaurant! I think at dinner time there's a valet but that wasn't the case for lunchtime. For that lunch, I was in the mood for basic rolls and decided on their yellowtail with scallion roll, Philadelphia roll and eel and avocado roll. Those items also happened to be on their lunch happy hour menu so the price was nice. The fish for each roll was fresh and all of the rolls were delicious. The presentation was nothing remarkable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was just good sushi at a good price in a casual setting. Nothing fancy but very solid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely give them a try! read more

I love a good bento box, and it's hard finding a place that offers them for dinner, so I was happy to learn that Starfish does just that. I opted for the two-item box with nigiri (which has an upcharge) and mixed tempura (one shrimp and four assorted veg), which came with miso soup, rice, salad, a couple of fried gyoza, and green tea ice cream. I found it a little disappointing, as the soup was lukewarm, the salad was just spring mix (heavily dressed), the four pieces of nigiri were on the small side, and the gyoza didn't seem freshly cooked. Also, the ice cream was a fair bit too sweet. Everything was edible, and I would return to try something else on the menu, but on this night my experience fell short a little. read more

The Baked Black Cod was probably one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It was tender and smooth. The stir-fried vegetables that accompanied it were perfect for the dish. Absolutely loved this one, and will get it again in a heartbeat. The sushi rolls we got had chili oil on it and it was really good. I actually wished it has more of that chili oil taste, and even better if it were a numbing sichuan style oil. Other than that, it was still very good. Love the sort-of secret parking in the back. Very convenient. Staff were very nice. Highly recommend this spot based on the Black Cod dish alone. read more

I ordered Starfish Sushi online for pickup and it was ready so fast and the food was really yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful when I came in to pay and pickup my order, the restaurant was not too big, but it was decently sized, had tables and bar seating, and it was very clean. There is street parking and I believe a valet lot as well. I ordered the three item bento box and chose Teriyaki Salmon, Vegetable Tempura, and California Roll. It comes with rice, miso soup, and salad too! They have a large menu with lots of options and I think it would be a good place to to go to dinner with family or friends, next time I think I'll try going in person to dine in. read more

I've lived in LA for over seven years and been to a lot of sushi places all over the city but Starfish is consistently my favorite - by FAR. The service is always incredibly fast and the fish is so fresh and delicious every time. I am so grateful to have found this place. Seriously - I am blown away by how consistently delicious the fish is here. I have never had a bad meal and I've probably been here about...30 times in the last two years. If you are in Los Feliz or Silverlake and you are looking for delicious and fresh sushi that isn't overpriced, this is the place for you. read more

We had 9…read morepeople here for a birthday celebration - food and drinks were really slow and came out staggered. Almost 1.5 hours before all the dishes finally came out. And service was also not great - the server brought out a drink that we didn't order by mistake, told us we could have it on the house, but ended up charging us for it anyway. Had already left when we noticed it. Also told us cake fee was $10, but ended up charging us $20. Food-wise, very hit or miss. The unadon, hamburger steak, and curry udon were all really good, but the yakitori skewers tended to be disappointing. The Tsukune was dry, the Negima was quite bland. The Miso Black Cod was also quite overdone, became quite rubbery when served and also was cold. Overall, I would not come back again, or recommend it. Given the price point, I expected that the food and service left much to be desired.

The menu now leans much more toward fine dining, and the prices definitely reflect that. As someone who's more of a casual diner and really enjoyed the previous menu, this new direction just wasn't for me. The staff were very kind and took the time to explain all the changes, which I appreciated. However, we ordered about six dishes and were surprised at how small the portions were. On top of that, most of the items were unfortunately pretty bland. Sadly, I won't be returning, and I really miss the old menu.

My precious friend Amelia G. treated me to dinner at Tsubaki for my 40th birthday last month. I…read moreloved this place went I went before kids and pandemic, apparently almost a decade ago. It was as good as I remembered, and probably even better. I can't imagine letting another eight and a half years pass without going back. The only negative is that parking is either difficult or $15, which feels bad in a pretty quiet residential area. Better to take a car in any case, so you can enjoy the extensive selection of sakes. We shared a full-sized bottle, I forget which but I think it was a junmai daiginjo, and it was lovely. Tsubaki is such a nice, welcoming little izakaya. Service is great, the atmosphere warm and easy. You just want to sit back and drink at a leisurely pace. The food is excellent, with a robust menu of creative Japanese food. We shared everything, starting with a stellar kanpachi crudo with ume ponzu, shiso, sweet onion and habanero pickles, and furikake. My favorite dish of the night was the tsukune katsu. I love tsukune, the tare-glazed chicken meatballs you'll find in any yakitori place. This was my first time having them in katsu form, panko-fried and served over cabbage with Kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce. The chawanmushi was delicious, silky steamed egg custard topped with Dungeness crab, truffle salt, and mitsuba. Likewise the kinoko tempura, an array of maitake, shiitake, and enoki mushrooms fried light and crispy, with yuzu shichimi and tentsuyu for dipping. We got a skewer of bonchiri from the yakitori menu, delightfully chewy bites of charcoal-grilled jidori chicken tail. Finally, a plate of yakisoba, pan-fried noodles with house-cured Peads & Barnetts char siu, pickled green garlic, and cracklin. We got the hojicha parfait, and it was more or less my ideal dessert. Roasted green tea soft serve with sesame black sugar burnt miso and candied walnuts with cornflake dust. Cold, light, sweet. I could eat a whole one by myself pretty much any time. After nine years in business, Tsubaki feels like an Echo Park institution, and the kitchen is as strong as ever. This was a wonderful dinner, one I hope to repeat soon, with more sake, more yakitori, and more hojicha parfait.

I did have the most amazing Caesar salad at tsubaki, maybe it's because of the little fish…read moreingredients they are adding to the salad. It's not fishy at all tho, but there's just the flavor from the sea that really elevates the salad. The whole time I'm looking for the fish lol, but in the end I just finished the leaves with great satisfaction. The skewers are pretty tasty but too pricy when I know that at the same price Nan Ban Kan in Sawtelle just does it with 20% better flavor, 30% less wait time and maybe 10% cheaper. Didn't like the fried rice at the end. It'd be better if only they kept the braised beef with the sauce. The fried rice is way too dry to enjoy on its own. Living on the west side, I'm definitely in no time to visit again

They definitely add to the experience and make you feel comfortable asking questions or getting recommendations. Drinks: Fun and refreshing. Joshikai: Refreshing and on the sweeter side, but really good. If you like the mug and decide to take it home, there is a $150 fee. Food: Fun Japanese fusion. Lots of creative dishes and flavor combinations, with familiar Japanese dishes given a fun twist. I recommend: Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls: Comes in a bowl with rice on the bottom and seaweed paper on the side so you can make your own hand rolls. Fun way to eat it and you can make each bite as big or small as you want. Yakisoba: These noodles are really well seasoned from the sauce and wagyu. Lots of flavor and definitely something I recommend. Negima: Chicken skewers that come with a sweet and savory sauce.

Charred Japanese Sweet Potato - OMG I loveeeeed these sweet potatoes! Who would have that chives paired so well with it? Scallop Crudo - We really enjoyed this dish A LOT. The cilantro vinaigrette paired with slices of pear gave this dish such a refreshing taste.

We crossed a few intersections to get there, and it was well worth the walk. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming host. The ambiance is light and airy, featuring high ceilings, light-colored walls, and light wood furnishings. The overall aesthetic is clean, modern, and very inviting. We stopped in for a late lunch and ordered the "Eggcellent Lunch" prix fixe, which included the following: *Tuna Tataki Handroll ~ seared wild caught tuna, tomato & shallot salsa, rayu chili oil, ponzu, micro cilantro *Seaweed Salad ~ w/minced garlic. Served alongside the Tuna Tataki Handroll *Squid Ink Karaage ~ 2-day brined fried chicken thighs, squid ink, house pickles, grilled lime, black garlic ranch *Chicken Breast Skewer ~ char siu marinade, black sesame *Bacon Shishito Skewer ~ applewood smoked bacon *Chicken Meatball Skewer ~ sous vide egg yolk & tare dip Bottom line, everything had visual appeal and was packed with flavor! If we lived locally, we would definitely return for dinner. I have no doubt the rest of the menu would be just as tasty, and I can only imagine the restaurant coming alive in the evening with a lively crowd, happy diners, and a well-stocked bar.

I've been coming to Starfish Sushi for over 5 years, and it remains my absolute favorite sushi spot, consistently exceptional every single time. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the Maui Maui roll is hands down my go-to and a must-try if you visit. What truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff is incredibly accommodating. Whether it's customizing rolls or making modifications, they always go above and beyond without hesitation. A special shoutout to Lee, who is by far our favorite waiter. I always request his section because he takes such great care of us. He is attentive, friendly, and genuinely great at what he does. If you're looking for amazing sushi, great service, and a place that treats you like a regular, Starfish Sushi is it. Highly recommend! read more

Eddie was super attentive, knowledgeable, and really took the time to explain everything and make solid recommendations for us since it was our first time trying any of the dishes. Every recommendation was fire and you can tell he genuinely cares about the customer experience and pays attention to detail. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out perfect.

Best sushi in Los Feliz - hands down. Love their halibut, salmon, and black snapper sushi. Consistently fresh and delicious. For sushi rolls, I love their lemontail ceviche roll, avocado toast roll, fire salmon roll, and Mexican gone wild roll. I've been coming here for 3 years now for many of our date nights and family dinners (super kid-friendly!), and they've always satisfied my sushi cravings.

Their sushi is by far the best I've had. Sometimes they have days where it doesn't taste as good as it could be, but 9/10 times it's great. The restaurant is small, not good for larger parties. The best rolls are Alaska, Snowcone, Baked Salmon, Nd popcorn lobster roll. Love this place, im there wayyy too often! read more

They are one of the yummiest sushi place in Los Angeles area. Very clean place, everybody is very friendly, and their rolls... ummm. That's true that sushi is one of a kind of food that makes me happy always, but that place makes it special. Go try. Thanks for the chief, I always appreciate a good sushi read more

Very disappointed to say I will not he returning. I've been coming to this spot for many years and had always been a favorite for sushi. However, it seems like every time we are paying more and getting far less. And the quality as of late has started to become questionable. Sad day for me. read more

This sushi spot is hands down one of the best sushi places I have eaten at. Their fish are top quality and their service is always good. I recommend the truffle salmon sashimi, it melts in your mouth. Their sake selection is pretty good as well. 10/10 recommend! read more
