My sister and I came here for dinner and wasn't aware that they had dinner specials. We both got the special in which you get a spicy tuna bowl (comes with black rice) and sides of miso soup, edamame and salad. ALL of the food was extremely fresh tasting. Even the salad dressing was so yummy. The dinner specials were very reasonably priced. Especially for a nicer place in Beverly Hills. The aesthetics were very minimalist and similar to restaurant we had visited in Japan. Our server was kind and attentive as well and he brought out the food very quickly. Would definitely come back here. read more

Absolutely delicious. Might just be my new favorite nearby sushi spot! I got the shrimp tempura roll and the eel & avocado roll. Two rolls was the perfect amount of food for me and both were so tasty. The quality of ingredients was excellent and everything tasted very fresh. The interior is sleek but cozy, and a comfortable environment to meet friends or go on a date. The service wasn't rushed which I appreciated but was still very attentive. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Decent sushi at a decent price. We tried several rolls and sushi, and while all were solid, none were really standouts. The blue crab hand roll was probably the favorite. The crispy rice with tuna and avocado was filling, but the rice could have been crispier. The fish was fresh but probably not the highest quality. Service was outstanding. Everyone was super nice and took great care of us during our dinner. Sushi chefs were also very personable, and gave us a small sashimi dish on the house. I've had better, I've had worse. Overall a decent place if you're in the neighborhood. read more

This is a large Japanese restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and decent service, but the food lacked the delicacy and balance that I usually associate with authentic Japanese cuisine. The cod was overly sweet and overwhelmed the natural flavor of the fish, while the salad had far too much dressing, making it feel heavy rather than fresh and light. Portions were generous and the restaurant was comfortable, but the flavors seemed adjusted more for a general audience than for those looking for a traditional Japanese dining experience. Overall, it was an acceptable meal, but not a place I would choose when craving authentic Japanese food. read more

Impressed by the to-go packaging and size of the bento box! Appreciated that the teriyaki sauce was served on the side because often times restaurants apply too much sauce for my liking. Miso soup was flavorful and had lots of tofu and seaweed. Shishito peppers and seaweed salad were perfect sides! read more

Ok update: We come here regularly now. Although the rolls are still small it's worth going. Service is good about 80% of the time. It's always top notch when you are ready for the bill. Haha. I always laugh when they have a mostly empty restaurant most of the times we come and still they ask "do you have a reservation?" I saw no and the staff member always looks around to find a table.. but that's just part of the funny charm of this place. The place is always clean, but the chairs could use an update and some have broken vinyl. read more

Omg Love the staff they are so generous and the food is top notch 5 stars and fresh lovezzz it read more

New management has horrible service and doesnt care about customer service. Their wait times are bs and they just tell you a short wait time so you have no choice but to stay. Such a joke read more

We had been here once a few years ago and on a Saturday night, we wanted sushi, and they had a reservation available. They have a pretty large menu. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef was very friendly and answered any questions we had. I had the Mrs. Robertson roll along with assorted nigiri. All was very good but they seem to like putting crispy onions on top of a lot, and it was just too much, so keep that in mind if that's not your thing. My lovely date had the assorted nigiri which also comes with salad, soup, and edamame. All were very good. We ended it with spicy tuna on crispy rice. Parking is pretty easy in the neighborhood and it's a very nice and relaxed atmosphere, and we'll come back again! read more

This place is directly across the street from my chiropractor, so I decided to give it a try. I loved their lunch special options. For $29 you get an appetizer, an entree, and a miso soup. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and the Chirashi Bowl. Both were DELICIOUS! The Crispy Rice was perfectly crispy. And the sashimi on the Chirashi Bowl was fresh and melt in your mouth. The service was top notch as well - super friendly staff, and the ambiance was nice, clean, and spacious with lots of natural light. Highly recommend! read more

Food was delicious, service was NOT it Stopped by at 2pm didn't realize they close at 2:30. Host/Waitress was rushing us the moment we sat down if you don't want to take anymore customers in why accept them to sit? It was our first time and she was rushing us to pick something after sitting for one minute (not even exaggerating) We asked a few questions about the menu & had confusion about the rolls she explained the differences but then it seemed like she went over to the chef's and told them we were confused and they were laughing??? Food was brought out fairly quickly except for my main dish which was brought out 5 minutes before they were supposed to close not sure how Im supposed to eat everything in 5 minutes but host kept coming to our table in a rushing manner VERY UNCOMFORTABLE we could barely enjoy our food. She kept trying to put things away she brought ginger then wanted to take it away after she had JUST placed on table. She was rushing me to pay the tab as well It was quiet inside not super busy, don't recommend for the service but food was pretty good read more

Wow! Summer Fish & Rice is so popular for lunchtime. Lots of customers were meeting people for business lunches over sushi and enjoying the natural sunlight that radiates from the floor to ceiling windows. Sushi bar and smiling chefs in the corner of the restaurant are also part of the fun. Now that's what I call mixing business with pleasure! We ordered from the lunch special menu (available Monday thru Friday from 11:30am to 2:30pm). I got the grilled salmon teriyaki. It came with a 4 pieces of vegetable tempura, white rice, a house salad, and edamame. I can't eat edamame so I got an extra house salad instead. Love the ginger dressing on the salad. It was a very healthy and satisfying meal. I enjoyed everything. My dining companion ordered the miso cod and chose the black rice to accompany it. It was melt in your mouth delicious. The black rice was so special and pretty because it turns purple when you cook it. This lunch special was served with a cucumber salad and miso soup with mushrooms. Delish and also good for you! For dessert we went for the Nutella cheesecake. It came with whipped cream. Also delightful. Rich enough that it was easy to split but lite enough that it complemented the meal very well. Prior to this visit, I had only been to this restaurant for dinner which was also nice but it was definitely a solid choice for lunch so I'm glad I gave it a try in the daytime. Metered parking can be found on the street. read more

Love coming to Summer Fish & Rice! Just like the last time I was here it was for DineLA because they offer such fabulous options. This time around I got the albacore cappachio, blue crab handroll, and the Ebisu roll. Also we couldn't resist ordering the crispy rice which wasn't part of the DineLA but so worth ordering. They start your meal off with miso soup that was excellent. Also part of the DineLA was a limited drink option so I got Asahi beer. Service was great and quick. Parking is super easy. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I love this Japanese restaurant! Nice ambience- clean, bright, stylish, wonderful servers, with delicious and well-prepared food & beautiful presentations- even the ginger is 5 star- not too sweet - delicious- perfect texture. They use the best ingredients- I'd like to eat everything on the menu read more

A small, casual restaurant with some terrific food and quietly attentive service. I usually try to visit during "off hours," as this intimate place can be fairly busy (and a bit noisy) at peak lunch and dinner times, and I'm always rewarded with consistently delicious, beautifully prepared and presented dishes. I particularly enjoy the luthe salmon teriyaki, miso soup, tempura vegetables, and the variety of rolls. Highly recommend. read more

Stumbled upon this cozy, hidden gem after passing by it several times when I was in the Beverly area, and I'm so glad I finally got to check it out! I was surprised to find out they were Thai owned (since most Japanese restaurants in LA seem to be Korean owned), but the quality of their sashimi, menu offerings, and sake selection definitely scream authentic Japanese. I went with their $29 lunch combo, which came with a delicious and hearty miso soup, your choice of appetizer (baked mussels for me) and a main course (chirashi for me). I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly fresh the sushi was, and as a solo diner, I had the pleasure of being seated at the sushi bar, where I got to watch the sushi chefs work their magic as I ate my lunch. Every cut of fish in my chirashi was surprisingly fresh and well cut, and I also thought the baked mussels were made well, although a teensy bit too salty for me. Service was very nice and friendly, and this spot is nice but casual, making it perfect for a business meal, quick meal with friends and family, or even a date. Highly recommend checking this little gem out for incredibly fresh and high quality sushi, and supporting a small, Asian-owned business! read more

Absolutely not the quality wasn't fresh and slow service / border line rude. All the rolls were over priced for what they are and mid at best. Sooooo many better options in the neighborhood hard pass read more

I'm a sushi snob and when I'm in LA this is my go to place for sushi. The fish is always fresh, the service is great, and it's reasonably priced. If I could give them 6 stars I would! read more

What a delight. Very nice interior design very simple and elegant. Went there last week with my best friend for a casual dinner because I passed by it many times and wanted to try it. We were seated by the sushi bar which I prefer usually in sushi spots where can see and interact with the chefs. Service was good , the chefs were really nice and extremely helpful and answering questions while doing the preparations. Food was amazing , all fish we had was fresh can't wait to go back again with my wife. It's my new favorite sushi place. Oh very reasonably priced by the way. read more

SFR is trying hard - fast service and an interesting menu. Recipes are on the simplified side for fusion Japanese dishes. Prices are typical for the lower BH area between $20-30 per item. Pricey yes, but rent is high here. Very loud interior because there's no dampening on any walls or ceiling, so it sounds like a quite noisy east coast cafe. (Probably not the best for 1st dates unless off peak hours) Fried items were crisp and hot but otherwise unremarkable. Fusion rolls are their best items - with adequate serving sizes and interesting varieties. Hand rolls (Temaki) were too expensive for what you actually got - a single half sheet of nori wrapping a standard roll content but not pressed. Yes, technically it's "hand rolled" but a far cry from even the most standard cones.(see photo) Sashimi salad was generously portioned but the slices are rather thick (to be generous) and you don't have a knife, so you end up chewing bites off or stuffing consumption - neither very elegant. Quality of fish was standard - fresh but nothing special. Nice that they're 1 of 2 places in the area actually open for dinner on Sunday (other is a Thai place). And this one is a little more upscale, but has an interesting attraction for families with small kids. It's ok. And fine for a pre show dinner. read more

Came back since we were craving sushi. Everything was fresh and tasty, as expected. But they really need to work on their service. It's friendly but extremely slow. Empty tables around us took forever to be cleaned up and our food took long. Not sure why this place always seems to have slow service. read more

absolutely horrible place do not go here terrible service. they said not to come back unless we tip. it took a really long time to even take our order let alone my partys food arriving. i would never tell anyone to come here!. terrible terrible terrible!!!!!! food: 1/5 | service: 1/5 | atmosphere: 1/5 read more

Price is great! Ambiance and service were solid as well. The sushi conceptualization and freshness were above average but not at a 5 star level for me. Salad was a scooch overdress and miso soup was average. Menu was above average. I would totally come here for lunch again, but I could find a similar level of sushi in most la neighborhoods read more

This is a rating about the service, not the food (the menu has some stand out dishes that I really enjoy). After paying my check and leaving the restaurant, an older woman who works at the restaurant followed my date and I outside, yelling at me about the tip amount. I was caught off guard at how rude and unprofessional she was. She demanded a percentage, and her sense of entitlement was surprising. Tipping culture in the US is out of control and this is a perfect example of it. Tipping is optional and it should not be the burden of the customer to subsidize a worker's wages. She didn't do anything special or difficult for us, and I still left a little extra, but it wasn't enough for her. If she's a waitress, she should push for a better wage from her employer instead of shouting at me in the street. If she's the owner, she's already making a profit off my check, without the tip. She told me I shouldn't come back if I wasn't going to tip properly (and I've eaten here many times). Way ahead of you, lady. There's plenty of great sushi spots in LA. read more

This is a nice, low key, relaxed Japanese restaurant and prices are reasonable in Beverly Hills. My Japanese Saba(mackerel)was delicious mixed with rice as was the bluefin crab handroll. It's also nice the entree came with a cute plate of edamame, salad and miso soup. Service was a little strange but nothing terrible hence the drop to 4 stars. I sat outside and requested the heat lamp be turned on but the server claimed it didn't work. Not a biggie for me but the service issues cost it a star. Recommended. read more

Came here during lunch as it just opened and I was pretty satisfied. Overall I thought the food was pretty good, although I have some comments on them. I ordered lunch combo set where I got Miso Soup, Mrs Robertson Sushi Roll, and Blue Crab Hand Roll. Miso Soup is pretty standard, but it tasted so good. The blue crab hand roll was pretty small, but I thought this tasted the best out of everything. I didn't know what to expect from Mrs Robertson Roll, but I felt that it lacked flavor that a lot of people from Yelp reviews were mentioning. I also thought the rolls itself were smaller than how it looked in the pictures. Still, it was decent enough that I enjoyed my main course. Other things to note: The service was alright, parking was not that hard to find, but it it street parking, and it did get busy pretty quickly. Overall I would give it an 8/10 (4 out of 5 stars) Food: 8/10 Price: 2/5 (Pricy) Service: 3/5 (Got busy pretty quick though) Ambiance: N/A (It was raining at the time so I didn't go in normal conditions) read more

First time trying this place out with a couple of friends. The restaurant was clean and the workers were well dressed and kind. We ordered the following: 1.) Mrs. Robertson Roll 2.) Killer Roll 3.) Garlic edamame 4.) Miso soup 5.) Crispy Rice (4 pieces). The fish tasted fresh and melted in your mouth. Crispy rice came in hot. All dishes were flavorful and pleasant. Service was awesome, our waitress listened to our orders and everything came in as expected. Our waters were refilled as needed without asking. MY ONLY COMPLAINT- I wish they paid more attention to the flavor of their spicy mayo. It tasted more like mayonnaise by itself rather than spicy Mayo (pinkish color) as expected to be mixed with sriracha! However, I will be back! read more

Very good tasting rolls with a cozy environment, service is slow but worth the wait. Great options for rolls, my favorite is the mango one.

As we walked in the waitress was not pleasant to see us , we asked for a chopstick helper for my son and it accidentally fell on the floor , I picked it up and when she brought the food I kindly asked for a new chopstick helper and explained that it fell on the floor her reply was "it's ok it's not gonna touch the food you can use that one the one that fell " , I was shocked by such a response ( never had it in the restaurants about something bringing back to the table once it's on the floor ) , as she returned I decided to ask for it again and got the same response. You can tell by her attitude not a kid friendly or anyone friendly service ! This place in our neighborhood and it's a shame ! read more

I absolutely love this place. The quality of fish is the best I've ever had in Los Angeles. The sashimi lunch dish is phenomenal and I get it every time I go. I'm there four or five times a year and get exactly the same thing every time. I highly recommend it. Occasionally, I will also have other roles and they are always wonderfully prepared and very tasty. The servers are very attentive and the venue is a very clean, crisp, and comfortable place to enjoy a delicious meal in. read more

Great food and I've been a very frequent customer here, but one of the employees (old lady) behavior was extremely rude and disappointing. We didn't tip 18%, which is not required, and as we were leaving, she actually chased us down the street on our walk, and told us not to come back. It felt very wrong, especially considering we paid a large amount for dinner and regularly recommend this place to friends and family. Just one time we didn't tip 18%, and instead of handling it professionally, she embarrassed us and was incredibly rude and stingy. Lost a life time customer over $10. Tipping is completely optional, and her behavior was absolutely unacceptable, we had already left the restaurant when she literally crossed the street to yell at us and demand more money. read more

We love Summer Fish and Rice and invited two couples we are friends with, who have never eaten there. They also loved it. We had 5 ceviche (this was our first time trying it) and it was amazing. We had a lot of their platters of different sliced fish in various sauces / seasonings, highlighting the particular fish and it's taste and it was great. We loved it all. It's a great spot for fresh, tasty sushi and sashimi you will thank me later for telling you about. Enjoy read more

TL;DR, Service was terrible; food was decent. Do not do #3 option for DineLA dinner menu. #1 option was okay. We came here for DineLA on a Tuesday night. I'm a huge fan of DineLA, every time I do my analysis based on the value of the menu and my preference for food to narrow down a couple of new restaurants to try. Based on my analysis, the DineLa menu for this place is a decent deal and I love sushi, so Summer Fish & Rice, of course, made the cut! Value When I did my calculation, I thought it was a good deal; however, when I got the food, I didn't know if the food value matched the menu list price. Maybe because it's in Beverly Hills, the list price is higher. My friend got the number 3 on the DineLa menu, and she literally got six pieces of sushi and a hand roll for $45, and she was definitely not full after that. If you do come and do DineLA, choose the Omakase option. Food The fatty salmon was good. The omakase also included uni, if you like that. Nothing to complain about. Service & environment We placed our order at 7:30, 40 minutes later, but we still had not gotten our food. Because we were sitting outside, I saw food sitting in front of the sushi chef for 20 minutes, and none of the servers knew it was sitting there! I spent 20 minutes staring at that food, wondering if that was mine. The worse the place was not packed; there were many empty tables inside. Because of that, I definitely did not enjoy my dine-in experience. read more
