Maybe a 3.5 but unfortunately I'll have to round down today. The combination dinner was good but underwhelming and definitely not worth $40. Potions were very small and took a very long time which is fair but we were waiting far longer than other tables that had been seated after us. Nigiri was fresh and probably the best part of the meal. The Agedashi tofu was flavorless and disappointing. Staff was great and very attentive. Probably wouldn't return though. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 8pm and was surprised by how empty it was. We ordered the tempura udon, the Matsu chirashi, and a variety of nigiri. The food came out quickly, and the chirashi presentation was especially cute. The sushi overall was good, though a few pieces tasted a bit fishy for my personal preference. Nigiri portions were generous, and the udon was comforting without feeling too heavy. Service was friendly and efficient. Despite how quiet it was for a Friday night, the restaurant itself is cute and cozy. Overall, a solid spot and worth checking out. read more

One of my go to lunch spots in dtLA! I've now gone often enough to where the owner recognizes me as a regular (which I appreciate!). Sushi Go 55 is a great spot for a quiet, relaxed lunch in Little Tokyo. I came in on a Monday (nice that they're open when many sushi places aren't) and appreciated how calm it was--no crowds and no to little wait (I'm all about efficiency on a busy office day). I ordered one of the lunch specials and was really happy with the quality and value. The fish was fresh. The set came with miso soup and some small sides (potato salad and pickled veggies) which made it feel like a complete meal. When I'm splurging, I go for the chirashi matsu which is a hefty meal and generous in portions and quality. They even validate parking and often remind you if you forget. Parking is easy (which is rare for dtLA) since it's located in a small mall. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space was clean with a traditional feel. Perfect spot if you're looking for a solid sushi lunch without the noise or long lines! read more

This place is an incredible gem. If you know and like sushi and have never tried this place, you are missing out. Like many, sushi purist place- this place will only give you the best. However unlike most hype-y sushi places, you don't need to deal with unfriendly chefs, long waits, and my favorite- not the loud chaotic atmosphere that many popular sushi places have. Enjoy a quiet secret treasure of LA. read more

Sushi Go 55 - Sweet shrimp and iiwashi (sardine)! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Some hits and misses, and as some people mentioned, the service can be improved. We were a big group and ordered some of their lunch specials like their mini sashimi platters, chirashi, udon, chicken teriyaki. Their speciality is definitely their chirashi, my favorite out of all of our orders. The tempura and chicken teriyaki I would definitely pass on. The sashimi was fresh so no complaints about that. The service was slow, even if we were one of two tables at the restaurant. It took almost 20 minutes for the first dish to come out, so if you're in a hurry I would recommend coming here with plenty of time spare time, or opt for another spot. The chef with the earrings was also rude (not to our table fortunately), so I felt a bit bad for those people. Plenty of other sushi spots in the area that I personally prefer. Parking available at the building. I forgot if they validate or not since I did not drive that day. read more

Sushi Go 55 - Chirashi Jyu Sushi Box Matsu Dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The chirashi bowl is a must try, very fresh and jammed packed with fish and other seafood. I wish there is more rice with the bowl. The rolls are tiny and at a tad higher price point. The service is decent but I felt pressured to order more but aside from that they are attentive and quick. Ambiance is very intimate and tiny. It would make a good place for dates but probably not necessarily family appropriate. read more

EASILY ONE OF MY TOP THREE WORST EXPERIENCE IN 16 YEARS OF YELPING. Strongly advise avoiding - unethical business practices. A synopsis: Me: The hotate sushi on my check is twice the amount it should be. Manager: Well, we ran out of our normal hotate so you got a special hotate from Japan. Me: Hmm ok, but I didn't order that, and you never even told tell me that's what I was getting. Manager: Well we ran out, so that's the only hotate we have right now. Me: Do you honestly expect me to pay for something I didn't order, and more importantly, for something you didn't even tell me I was getting? Manager: Yes Me: You serious? Manager: Yes The worst part about this was the manager (man with a chin half-goatie) was so shameless as he said this to me, so self-assured that operational mistakes are a cost for customers to absorb. 8 hours later as I write this I still can't wrap my head around what a warped understanding of restaurant etiquette this is. Ultimately he gave in, but not before causing a scene. Had it progressed, this is a hill I would have died on. I would have dialed the police had it come to that. Oh, and the food was poor, as many others have commented - apparently this place was good years ago prior to an ownership restructuring. read more

We popped in for lunch for the first time there. The place looked cozy and kinda authentic. But unfortunately nothing was good. The salmon skin was gross. The tempura was subpar, not good at all. And the crab cucumber salad was just plain horrible with the crab obviously thawed out old pieces. I can't see how they are not ashamed to serve that. We only had those items and water and yet the bill was $80 !!! I really wish I had refused to pay, especially for that salad. By the way, it was uncomfortably warm in there the whole time. (Really, in a SUSHI restaurant ?) read more

Just stumbled across this gem which is located in the same mall as Little Tokyo market place. I would highly recommend the chirashi bento and the black cod!

This establishment is still open even though Yelp suggests it might not be. This is a small establishment, and they only have one person, sometimes two people working the sushi bar. If you come in with the right attitude and have patience and understanding that this is artisanal experience that will take time, you will be rewarded. The best experience is had at the sushi bar. Don't be afraid to order your known staples that can be had at any other restaurant. I'm still a fan of Tuna Rolls and Shrimp Tempura Rolls that are not fancy and order those as well. The sushi bar staff can tailor things to taste if you have had some prior experience with omakase. Feel free to ask for suggestions. The best items are the special items on the board with Market Price. I am a very big fan of the Hokkaido scallops. If you like real Japanese beer, they have Orion Beer from Okinawa, Japan. The restaurant also carries a very good selection of sake, both cold and hot. The sushi bar staff can recommend drink pairings for the meal. While the restaurant does not have the looks and ambiance of the top tier sushi restaurants, I go here specifically for the experience that cannot be found anywhere else. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant because I was craving chirashi bowl. I did not expect much since the restaurant was pretty empty on Sunday lunch time. But I was so wrong. The sashimi was fresh and the quality was very good. The sushi rice was well seasoned and everything goes well together. The beautiful presentation in two layers bento boxes was an added bonus. This was one of the best chirashi bowls I have had so far. For around $30, I believe the price was also very fair. read more

Food quality and service from both host, server and chefs are great! Ambiance makes you feel like you are not LA. I frequent this sushi spot for lunch during the week. My coworkers and I enjoy their salmon skin salad (Large), and our sushi (salmon, yellowtail and Spanish mackerel. Today, I tried their Chirashi Matsu, with Uni and Ikura. It's pretty good. I would recommend anything on this menu. The chefs take pride in their presentation of the sushi, and it shows. There's parking (need parking validation at restaurant) on Levels 3-4, then take the bridge to inside mall. Take escalators up one floor and it's in the right corner. Will be back for sure! read more

Ah how I have missed you Sushi Go 55. Chef Tomo and his team do an amazing job in making some delicious sushi. Service is friendly and quick. Chef makes sure to prepare all his fish perfectly. Sometimes there is only one chef so patience goes a long way. This time I really loved the stuffed lotus and the stuffed shiitake with shrimp. Everything was amazing as always! Thank you!!

Seriously amazing, it felt like I was back in Japan, had sashimi it was too good, this is a must go, service was amazing

We decided to visit this Japanese restaurant last night as we were craving Japanese cuisine. It is in the same building as Daiso in Little Tokyo, on the third floor. We were pleasantly surprised to find restaurants upstairs because there were not that many people and stores in the plaza. They have their own parking structure, and since we dined at the restaurant, our parking was validated. One thing though, although it wasn't busy, the food took a while to come out because there were not that many people working there. Given that it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't bustling. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a friendly server who provided attentive service throughout our meal. We went for their Chirashi bento, as it's their specialty. Priced at $39 per box, they were remarkably delicious! It came with miso soup too which tasted amazing. My favorites were the toro and the ebi. Although there was one type of fish that tasted a bit fishy, it's a common flavor for that particular fish in Chirashi dishes elsewhere. We also got their salmon skin handroll which tasted good but a little bit burnt. Considering the price tag of $39, the bento was a bit expensive. However, it was very good and super filling. I highly recommend paying a visit to this place if you're in the area. read more

Food is great but their hours online are not accurate. Drove all the way here for them to be closed. Very sad.

Humble spot Ina little Tokyo strip mall with the freshest fish and best service. This place used to have an hour wait before pandemic, now it's easier to get a table, but the one thing that hasn't changed is the freshness of their food. I love this place! read more

Sushi Go 55 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hours are wrong on the website. They are not open on Mondays and they open earlier than 5:30 on other days of the week. The service is hit or miss. Was told to sit in one specific table because we were a table of two by the Asian hostess with the ponytail. We asked if we could sit elsewhere and she said we have to sit there as a party of two. Fine. 10-15 minutes later, after I have placed my order. She asked us to sit at another table. We said we are fine here now and she told us we had to move because she just made a reservation for 6 that would require my table. I understand the need and would oblige happily, but there was no please or thank you. She demanded we move. I would have left immediately if my mother hadn't already settled down and didn't want to go to another restaurant. Very poor, blunt customer service with poor attitude. The food quality does not match the price. Because they have no customers on big weekend evenings, they can't properly order good fish and product. For $39 the largest chirashi is poor quality for the price. I would pay double if the fish quality is better. Disappointing and won't be back. It seems that they have sold the restaurant to a Chinese or Taiwanese new owner. Don't think they will be open in the next couple years. read more

Sushi Go 55 - Chirashi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I didn't understand the hype...I have eaten at a ton of small mom and pop sushi/sashimi places and never have I seen such tiny, haphazardly cut sashimi pieces like this. Service is friendly and they definitely have good business! So between being busy and having 1,000+ 4 star ratings in Japantown, I expected so much more. We ordered the chirashi boxes, sake, and some white wine. Every piece of sashimi was a different size, and incredibly thin. The salmon was cut into tiny thin squares. It was so small it was translucent. It came with a bowl of rice, some pickled veggies, and some miso soup. Those were great! However, if you like the free pickled veggies more than the sashimi itself, there's definitely a problem. I can't say I'll be back. read more

I used to come here regularly for the lunch special chirashi bowl when I worked downtown, but hadn't been in a while, and came last week for the dinner chirashi bowl, which is a bit pricier but hopefully a tiny bit bigger. Parking is plentiful and the restaurant validates for I think 1 or 1.5 hours so you can hit up the Daiso if you want on the way out. The sushi is fresh and it's nice that the bowl comes with little banchan dishes and miso soup. The only thing lacking is the service, which is a bit slow. There was only one waitress who was both seating tables, taking orders, and bringing out the food and checks, and as a result, she was pretty busy and it took her a while to make it back around to our table to get the check. Otherwise, a solid place for sushi. read more

Never tried sushi takeout for a family gathering, but this time even had overseas family so why not give it a try since I've had success with takeout 3 or more times already? Wasn't sure I could call in an order for 12 chirashi matsu (if I was the owner I would be suspicious, lol). So rolled in during the weekday to place weekend order in person and wanted to leave a deposit not only for the restaurant's peace of mind, but for my peace of mind as well they will have enough food for 12 of the matsu versions (since one time ordering before they were out of ikura that is needed in the matsu version). Glad to see the place had some customers dining in, since the last few visits I had were just takeout only. Hired a driver for the weekend pick up (just my bro since he has SUV and we brought an ice chest for the drive back, lol.) Got there earlier than the 11:45am we decided on but things were well under way with 2 chefs preparing boxes of chirashi. Everything got packaged very well and was even asked if we were driving far and offered to pack some ice with the orders, which we didn't need since came prepared but was great to be asked and offered! Yet another successful sushi take out was had by all. Fresh and delicious! There were also more folks walking in to eat/order on Sunday, so things seem to be slowly picking back up. Hope this Delta doesn't shut things down again, but I know I can still always get fresh takeout sushi here if need my fix. read more

After about 18 months I finally made it back to Los Angeles and Sushi Go 55. I asked for omakase and I received a great meal. The older sushi chef made the majority of the sushi items and the other chef added a few items as well. Of course the fish and everything else was delicious and fresh. The clam miso soup near the end was delicious and the chawan mushi was great. There were other guests in the restaurant for a Saturday lunch seated at tables. I hope Sushi Go 55 gets more customers who appreciate truly wonderful food. read more

A very traditional Japanese restaurant inside the mall at the top floor. They are known for their Chirashi Bento Boxes and that is what we went with.

The service was good and attentive as well. Glad we tried out this simple and humble spot! read more

We tried going to two different places before and ended up coming here as we were desperate for sushi. I wasn't able to remember my last experience but I honestly disappointed this time. The food was okay but two things happened that kind of bothered me. We were served 2 pieces of the fried shrimp heads cut in half for 2 orders (4 pieces of sushi) of the sweet shrimp sushi. This was a first for me and the fried shrimp head is one of my favorites so I was disappointed. We realized when the bill came we never received the red snapper sushi, so that was mentioned thinking it would be taken the off the bill. But as we were signing the receipt it was brought to us, and it wasn't taken off the bill. read more
