We had such a great experience here! The service was outstanding, the atmosphere had such a fun, welcoming vibe, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. A special thank you to Andrew and Kei for taking such great care of us. They made our visit even more enjoyable with their friendly, attentive service. We can't wait to come back! read more

I found this new sushi restaurant while browsing Yelp and came here for dinner on a Sunday night. The restaurant is located right across from Platform Culver City, very close to Solidcore and the Culver City metro station. The restaurant only had a couple of diners when we came in. The aesthetic is minimal, bright and looks brand new. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Our waitress explained the menu to us and said that she would give us a substitute for one fish as they'd run out of it. I thought their omakase was great value, and all the fish tasted fresh and high quality. I will say that the ambiance and design were a little strange. For one thing, the seats were bolted in to the floor and were very close together. Both my husband and I are small people, and it was a tight squeeze for us to get out with the chairs so close together, so I can imagine it would be tough for other people, especially if the restaurant is busy. Apparently the lunch omakase sets are even better value than dinner, so I plan on returning soon for a lunch date. read more

5 stars for the lunch sets. We ordered both sets, the aburi salmon set and the lunch omakase at 18.99 and 23.99 and both were great! Service was super friendly and I loved the bar setting. Feels more intimate and tailored to you. It wasn't super busy since we came on a weekday for lunch, so I was excited to be able to get seated right away and have sushi handed to me ;p We ran here from home and it was such a sweet reward. I'm definitely coming back to try their dinner sets!! Great value and quality. The daikon on top of the sushi and the onion sauce were both so good. 16% gratuity is already included so you don't have to worry! I already wanna come back some time this week! read more

Sushi Nigiriba - Sushi Bars Near Me - Culver City, California

Sushi Nigiriba just opened up in Culver City and did not disappoint. The fish was fresh with thick cuts and the service was phenomenal. Inside bar seating was clean and spacious. PARKING Street parking, not sure if there was a parking structure nearby. MENU We were given 4 omakase choices for their dinner menu and chose their Nigiriba signature $52/pp and 16% gratuity added to your bill. After the end of your course, you can choose to add on à la carte items. HAPPY HOUR I believe Mon-Thur they have 50% off drinks for happy hour~ FOOD Served one piece at a time with the perfect amount of rice to fish ratio. The rice was warm and seasoned deliciously paired with hearty chunks of tender nigiri: salmon, bluefin, and Kanpachi. With refillable edamame, the freshest ginger, and my favorite kizami wasabi, this was one delicious meal! The conger eel was kinda scary and long, but tasted really good, a tad sweet, and soft with bones you can't even taste. Dessert came with a refreshing matcha icecream mochi with red bean and a rice cracker. SERVICE Excellent server and service! Sean made the perfect nigiri's, explained each one, gave us kizami wasabi refills, and made sure our meal went smoothly! Thank you Sean!! OVERALL Fairly priced, fresh fish, and a great experience. Would def recommend stopping by to get your sushi fix :-) read more

Solid sushi bar restaurant located across from the Platform. Bar seating only. No reservations when I went. Easy to walk in and get seated on a weekday dinner time. Service was fast and friendly. They are from a chain from Japan and opening more US locations. They have multiple sets you can choose from, I went with the $52 Signature, which comes with 8 nigiri, 1 handroll, 1 eel dish, edamame and mochi ice cream -- perfect amount of food. You can substitute any of the nigiri for toro or salmon, as well as order a la carte add ons. The conger eel was also interesting and tasty, as was the mochi ice cream. Dont expect anything expensive like otoro here. Just a place to get solid sushi, similar to what you'd get from Sugarfish. Lunch has even better deals! read more

Great experience overall, the dining areas is a U shaped bar that has around 24 seats. Currently that have 4 course options you can choose or you can order a la carte. Everything is made at the bar by the chef, each item they'll tell you where it was sourced and what it was made with. When I came during the grand opening week they didn't have reservations or a wait list that you can check into so it's first come first serve until a seat is available. We were able to order a beer and some sake while we waited. Our wait took about a hour during prime dinner time since the bar was full so keep that in mind read more

How is this place not blowing up??? It was SO good like the sushi was so insanely fresh. It's omakase and it was just such good quality. It honestly might be better than omakase I had in Japan. Also the proportions were perfect and they give you SO much fish. NOT TO MENTION- the dessert at the end was excellent. I will be 100% coming back like I truly think it's one of the best casual omakese in the area. read more

When you try new things, or new restaurants that are brand new, you are essentially gambling with your time, money, and palate. Visiting Sushi Nigiriba on their opening month is like hitting the jackpot. I was thoroughly impressed. I love it when restaurants have a set omakase menu with gratuity included and no options to tip extra. Pay once and that's all. I am going to say it right now, pound for pound this is the best value omakase in all of Los Angeles. And I am reluctant to use the word value in that sentence because everything on the menu taste extreme quality. I came on a Saturday at 4pm and there was plenty of seating (being that the restaurant is new). I am not sure if it was because of the limited other guests that we got the white glove treatment, or if they always go above and beyond but the service was incredible. Greeted by everyone in the restaurants, descriptions about each piece of fish, the soy sauce, fresh wasabi, and even the rice paired with Japanese vinegar. I came for the food but ended up getting a science degree in Sushi. I loved every minute of it. It might look like "just" 9 pieces of sushi, but the pieces of fish are thick and hearty, and I had a hard time fitting the sushi into my mouth all at once. I ordered their signature menu which came with a mixture of fresh and seared sushis. Each piece of sushi was very unique. You'd have a amberjack plain, and the next one with daikon and the variance was very difference. The same with the seared sushi's. Everything was really fresh, and I must make a special comment about the rice. The rice is warm with a slight vinegar flavor to it. It's packed just right. A matter of fact, each piece of sushi has just the right amount of wasabi, shoyu, and flavor in each bite. There isn't an option to dip your sushi into soy sauce. It's made just right. For some people this may seem restrictive, but for me it was welcoming. "Just trust me" type of attitude, and after the first sushi, I am sure you will. The restaurant has the chefs in the middle with the chairs all around. Everything is professional with good lighting without being too bright. I am sure this place will do well and I am glad that I took a chance on trying a new restaurant. Great job Sushi Nigiriba! read more

The sushi is fresh, the space is clean and simple, and the staff provides excellent service. The red vinegar rice was delicious and it was neat watching the rice-shaping machine mold each bite. They also have an a la carte menu. I was pleasantly surprised at how filling the Signature course was and I look forward to dining here again! read more

Great new sushi spot. Came on a weeknight and it was mostly empty. We got to really interact with the server. The sushi was fresh and nicely prepared. read more

Came in for a simple sushi dinner and left feeling like this is one of the better value plays around. I ordered the Simple set (7 pieces for $28), while others went with the Chef's Table. The first thing you notice is the portioning--generous cuts of fish that still stay balanced with the rice, so it feels satisfying without being heavy. The rice is well done--lightly seasoned, slightly warm, and not overpacked. Each piece comes brushed and ready to eat. The highlight for me was the seared pieces, especially with yuzu or a touch of onion--just enough to add contrast and bring out the flavor of the fish. The Chef's Table was solid and had more variety, but I'm not big on ebi or ikura, so I appreciated being able to go à la carte and add the toro I actually wanted instead. That flexibility makes a difference. Also worth noting: they validate parking, which makes it an easy choice in the area. Bottom line: $28 for a well-executed 7-piece set with generous cuts is hard to beat--and the option to customize with à la carte makes it even better. read more

Had takeout once again with the Salmon lovers and the Toro lovers. Again, great presentation and that toro is outstanding. If we are doing takeout sushi, this wins over sugarfish easily. I'll dine in soon, I'm very intrigued by the lunch specials! read more

This place is awesome, amazing sushi and staff. I ate here for dinner and lunch and both times the food was great. Their omakase lunch and dinner set do not require adding additional sauce, such as dipping in soy sauce with wasabi, as it is prepared with their recommended sauce brushed on to each piece. Their fish is fresh and the amount of rice and fish combo is well balanced. I would highly recommend anyone who loves sushi to try this place. It is also a great value considering the quality of food and service. read more

A great addition to the central culver city area. Good for both lunch specials and slower-paced dinner. The chefs explained each dish well, and the pacing of the omakase was also good. Fish to rice ratio was perfect. Super fresh, high quality fish, and each sushi was seasoned just the right amount. I would come back! read more

Sushi Nigiriba - Salmon nigiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - Culver City, California

New sushi spot in Culver City and it's giving Sugarfish vibes. You pick a set menu first (ranging from $28-$80) before you can even think about ordering à la carte. I'm really picky about sushi quality and this place hits. Fresh, clean, the way it should be. Don't sleep on the matcha mochi either -- so good read more

I am a born & raised native from LA. I have proudly bragged about the customer service about the city that I love. I have never walked into an environment and felt that I didn't belong. My daughter wanted sushi and we didn't want to purchase a whole box of sushi for $40 for one person. I was told that they have an à la cart option and the waiter asked the manager if we could order from the à la cart option to go and the manager said "no" it makes no sense to order so much food for a 16 year old and especially for it to be to go. They could've have accommodated yes and chose not to. This is why I am writing this review. Word of mouth is powerful and we will take our business somewhere else. Being a native in this town I have seen many business shut down. Look at this economy you should've done the right thing and accommodated the customer. read more

Decor is minimal but you're 100% going for the food. It is amazing. Went on a Thursday and it was completely empty at 7 but got busy later. There are a few prix fixe options at different price points. Sushi is made right before your eyes, it is so fresh! They mostly let the fish shine but put a bit of sauce on a few of the sushi pieces and it was soooo good. Incredibly fresh and all made with exquisite care. They seared a few pieces with a blow torch right in front of us! Definitely will be going back! read more

Sushi Nigiriba - Searing sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Culver City, California

The omakase is SO GOOD and for a good price!! I'm pretty picky so I get nervous about a set menu, but I loved pretty much everything. Our sushi chef Joel noticed one of them wasn't my favorite, and he offered to make me something else instead!! SUPER glad we stopped by. It was incredibly delicious and actually $100 cheaper than our normal sushi spot (for good quality fish!!). Parking validation offered. I think it's a really good lunch spot or date night place. It was a little hard to find but it's 100% worth it read more

Sushi is so good and Anago sushi the end is awesome. Fish and Nori so goooood. I will take more people next time. You can find parking in the basement side and 2 hours free with Eat at Nigiriba. read more

Nothing special. Too many variations of new restaurants taking the kazunori approach albeit nigiris.

Excellent service. Fish is incredible, super fresh. Their twists on classics are off the charts. The seared salmon - to die for. Salmon imported from Scotland. Vibes very relaxed, like a spa visit but with sushi. read more

For a japanese culture. I didnt like that you are to force to pay 16% more of what you order as tips. That is worse than normal american places that give you a oprion to not tip or choice a amount you would like to tip. Dont think i would it here again or recommand anyone to come. read more

DIS SHIT BUSSSSSS! Love the service, love the food, ambience is super chill! Location. Is great as well.

It's a good place to get cheap booze, limited selection of alcohol but the fish there. It is slightly above gas station sushi on part with sushi that you would get at Ralph's or pavilions. The ambience is trying to be Yamashiro's. That is in Culver City, but the quality of the fish it's bad. I tried their smallest course which is a six course meal. It's $23. I was greatly disappointed the minute I put that first fish in my mouth. The rice is bad. It taste like it's four days old and sad the fish again taste like grocery store sushi it's edible presentation doesn't need to be fancy. It just needs to taste delicious the service though it's fine because again no one really shows up to this place so getting a table is not gonna be difficult as for the owners instead of looking on your computer how about you close your laptop look at your customers expressions eat your own product and if you think that sushi that you were tasting is delicious you were completely mistaken. It is a disappointment for all sushi lovers if the owners do try to reach out to redeem themselves with a coupon you had six chances no thank you I may go in for a quick drink, but that's about it. I will say this they're sake which they only have two of them. The sweet one was pretty good of course you know beer was pretty good, especially when it comes in a nice cold glass, but everything else was a disappointment. The minute I put it in my mouth oh and the edamame I had frozen edamame that tasted better than what you gave me and it's from Ralph's. There was no sauce. There was no salt. It was just plain and they don't offer you soy sauce . I am trying to support a local business, but after this experience, I'd rather just walk a couple more blocks for better quality. read more
