Showed up at 8:15, google shows they close at 8:30, so early to close on a Thursday night but at any rate I got there in time or so I thought. The lights were on as the TVs on and several staff including sushi bar. I was refused service ( even carry out) as was told by Parker, mgr? who wouldn't look at me or make any eye contact until I called him out. Who raised and taught you this is ok? So rude to a paying customer? He said that the owner fold them to close early. The owner of sweet fish also owns Gultch down the street and he is extremely wealthy. Nor here not there, it's that he doesn't need the income And I was told previously from Employees he's bored and does this for a hobby. Like bad back and can't golf.... It's easier to get service with a smile in NYC. Anywhere in the world actually as I travel globally SO this is just not ok. Please owner, get a hobby other than this nonsense w younger women and a fake business with your friends read more

Found two maggots in my steamed broccoli tonight. Broccoli was clearly rotten/spoiled as there were black spots all over it. Two separate containers of the broccoli were ordered, both were equally spoiled but only one container had the maggots. Returned to get refund but since it was ordered through Uber Eats, they could not refund me for it and i need to take it up with Uber Eats. read more

I want to like Sweet Fish but my most recent visit left me with mixed feelings. I met up with two friends here because they have a decent happy hour and, bonus, our credit card gives us extra points on the first of the month. The happy hour discount is 20% off the menu, but when the Crispy Tuna Toasty starts at $16, saving $3.20 doesn't exactly feel like much of a deal. The toasty itself was fine, though the standout for me was the Three Amigo roll, which I really enjoyed. What I didn't love was being charged 50 cents for a side of eel sauce (technically 40 cents with the happy hour discount, yippee) which just felt a little nitpicky for a place at this price point. Unfortunately, the worst part of the visit was the service. Our server, Carter D., left a sour impression. He nearly insisted we order drinks right off the bat, which felt pushy, especially since I don't currently drink alcohol. Later, when it came time to pay, he brought the credit card machine to the table before even giving us a bill. I had to specifically ask for it before I handed over my card and I also didn't appreciate that he loudly announced my total for the whole restaurant to hear. This place has potential - the rolls are tasty and the space itself is fine - but with prices that don't feel justified by the value and service that misses the mark, I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

This place is always so welcoming and the service is always good. They offer mini discounts for those using cash. I have loved the three amigo roll and the red dragon roll. They'll make small adjustments if you want to your rolls. You can't go wrong with anything here. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest but it's convenient and tasty. Fresh sashimi, and hearty Uni. Good sushi for the area. I recommend the spicy edamame appetizer. There's street parking and feels like a little hole in the wall. read more

A nice sushi restaurant in Playa Vista. Went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Selected the bento box with salmon. Food was dry and obviously reheated. I am not impressed... three stars for good service. read more

Didn't know what I wanted for dinner the other night. Parked and was walking towards one restaurant, but instead, ended up here. Not sure how or why, but I did. And I'm glad I did. Walked in and was offered any seat in the house as it was pretty empty. It definitely wasn't that way when I left. So, get in early because it got a little packed as the night wore on and this was during the week. No idea how it is on the weekend. Service was great. I didn't ask for a name but he was Johnny on the spot. It wasn't because I was sitting at the bar, he was just on it. Everything just felt like it was natural and meant to be. Then there was the food. Opted for the Sashimi Sampler, an order of Chicken Karaage and of course, dessert. See pics. The only criticism I have is that I wasn't a fan of the oil the chicken was cooked in. Not that it was bad as the chicken was still juicy and tender - just meant I dunked the pieces into the condiment more than I usually do. And, I still cleared my plate. All my plates in fact. I even finished off the bowl of rice, which if you know me, is a rarity. Yeah, I know I'm Asian. Just one who doesn't regularly eat rice. As for parking, I was a block away. Street parking. No meter. I don't know what the restrictions are, but I just know it was free. You'll have to ask or check. I just know I'm always happy when there's free parking and or I don't drive away with a ticket. Speaking of driving away - I left fat and happy. The two ice cold Sapporo drafts helped and the good food accounts for the latter. read more

Came here on a Thursday night when it was quite rainy. I am a vegetarian so for me there are usually not a lot of vegetarian options - I was hoping to get the unagi - which they did not have. So I went with the vegetable roll, which was decent (as it usually is). The service was good and the staff was nice. We had miso soup, which was really good and the overall bill was not too high either. I would recommend for a simple night in or a small group for simple, more 'basic' rolls. read more

We checked out this restaurant since it's conveniently close to my friend's place. The food was average. I got the Bentley roll and I enjoyed it. My friend thought her roll was decent too. Our other friend was disappointed in their fried rice and hand roll though, but I can't speak on that since I didn't try it. We were sat immediately on a Sunday evening. We sat outside and it was nice and sunny. read more

Down and out. I've seen this place go up and down threw out the years and now it's finally gone down and lets just give up and go out. Ambiance is gone, you can here everyone complaining and it's just a loud environment not like a traditional sushi bar. Fried rice is still good but the beef is chewy. In another post someone said that a server, Jose who is really attentive and he is but what more can he do when the blue crab roll was mushy and under cooked and I kinda felt sick after. I just Dont know what going on with that strip of playa vista or in any riguards all of playa vista restaurants. read more

Recently returned here after many years away and am thrilled to report that they still in fact have the BEST blue crab hand roll I've ever tasted. It actually has made me order blue crab hand rolls everywhere, that only end in disappointment. Additionally, the tuna crispy rice is also still to die for. They were doing crispy rice long before it was so popular, basically right after Katsuya. Other dishes are good but these are the must-dos. Service is slow but this is also a neighborhood spot so it feels like you shouldn't be in a crazy rush. Ambiance is pretty good with both outdoor and indoor tables. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Great sushi spot in Playa vista. it really rounds out the group of restaurants that are in the Playa Vista area. You have a gastropub, italian, Burger spot, Chinese food, a fast food mexican, and a casual sit-down mexican... Then this sushi place. It fits in perfectly in the grouping. The sushi always comes out super Fresh and vibrant. They also have great meals for kids, with the chicken and salmon Teriyaki that comes with broccoli and potato salad or whatever your favorite side dish is. They also have great happy hour specials. I recommend going for happy hour and grabbing some discounted hand rolls and a pitcher of sapporo. My go-to meal is the Sushi Sampler, usually 18 piece. They also have a great patio section, which is tented for when the weather is a bit on the chilly side. As summer approaches I will definitely be sitting outside with a beautiful view of the park and crushing sushi. read more

I love the menu choices. So many options. Sushi is delicious. Service is good. They also have more than Sushi. Highly recommend their Ramen.

Great sushi great service! Great presentation clean Great experience. The staff amazing.

We love this place and have been there several times in the past couple of months. We have had some of the best sushi we've ever had, and have tried a variety of other menu items and loved them as well. Sit at the sushi bar and be treated to some of the freshest fish in LA. Love the Ramen, the Agedashi Tofu, and the great variety of selections on their menu. The atmosphere is great, too. Try this and you won't be disappointed. read more

Expensive for what it is! The sushi sampler for $20 contains just 5 pieces of nigiri and a miso soup. The pieces were fine but that's overpriced for regular nigiri. The chicken karage for $14 was fresh and pretty tasty. It also cost a few more dollars than I would've thought. Review is for lunch takeout order. read more

We love to stop here because it's right next to our home! It's not as busy as it used to be but the service is still good! The last few times were disappointing in the quality of the food, however, this time we were pleasantly surprised at how tasty the dishes were! The edamame was hot and spicy! The rolls were fresh and also looked great. I really enjoyed their specialty rolls even the vegetable roll was divine! We love to order hot sake and relax after a long week! Overall, it's small inside but I do recommend the sushi if you're in the neighborhood! They have a cute patio as well! read more

I've been coming here sporadically for several years and more consistently in the last several months. The food has been good, Josué is a great waiter and Jason is loved by all the dogs in the neighborhood including mine; he likes to generously feed them when he can. If it were for them, I would give this review 5 stars but it gets only 1 for the following: The owner Al is a perverted sleazebag creep. There were two ladies having dinner at the table next to mine when he barged into their conversation and initiated inappropriate dialogue. He began by talking about relationships and asked one of the ladies very personal questions, such as, "did he like to have sex often?" when pertaining to her mention of her ex husband. He asked her if that was the reason why she got a divorce following consecutive questions that were very personal. There was even a moment when he blamed her for marrying her ex husband. Sadly, she answered every question as though she didn't have a choice. He was on fire with back to back questions which also included talking about his personal life. He shared that his wife would need to have something he could benefit from since he's been the breadwinner in relationships. Adding that he doesn't like to have sex at his age despite being into it but now loves physical touch. He said a bunch of other vulgar statements. When he left, I expressed to the ladies that I found the owner to be very inappropriate. They both immediately agreed. One lady shared that she knows him and was shocked to experience him in such a way, adding that he was asking her friend whom he had never met before all the sexual questions. The ladies left so I took it upon myself to speak for them & myself. I expressed to the owner that as a regular customer, he made me feel very uncomfortable with his inappropriate sexual dialogue with the ladies. His response and behavior further confirmed the person he had already shown to be. He replied arrogantly and with a sense of entitlement, " oh yeah, why?" I told him I wouldn't be wasting my time explaining, and that all he needed to know was that he made me feel uncomfortable and also the ladies who had agreed to his inappropriateness. He ignorantly responded, "well I know them" as though if knowing the women somehow made his dialogue acceptable. I smirked responding, "No you don't. You know only one of them and ironically the one that you don't know is precisely the woman you were sexually interrogating." He had no choice other than to have another ignorant comment, he replied, "well then I will apologize- to her" I replied, "you do that and as a regular customer I won't be coming back" and without any care he said ok and left. What a way to treat regular customers whom you've benefited from. We are the reason for the existence (and shut down!) of a business. If you're a male business owner, learn from this review on what Not-To-Do to female customers. 101 for dummies! If you're a woman, you're not safe to visit. Not to mention your voice won't matter if you have constructive feedback. Do yourself a favor and go have sushi elsewhere- the beauty of SoCal is that there's amazing sushi restaurants with excellent customer service at every stop. read more

We were excited to go to a new place and it was a complete disappointment. None of the fish was fresh. We got one role and we ate two pieces and sent the rest back. We do not recommend this place!!! On the plus side the service was fine. Our waitress was very nice. read more

Convenient place for us after weekend activities in PDR. I like their selection of lunch specials. Sushi and sashimi were fine, but the ginger/wasabi and soy sauce tray presentation was lacking and made me lose confidence in the food. As you can see in the pics, they were sloppy with ginger hanging all over the place, wasabi bits astray, and the ginger was clearly dried out from being in the refrigerator overnight--I guess they hurriedly make them the day before and don't even cover them in plastic wrap?? Fine if you're captive in the area and have a hankering for Japanese food but not a place to impress anyone. read more

Had a great experience today. Gotta say the food was amazing. We ordered the Bentley roll, a mix of sushi and sashimi but The bake blue crab was my favorite. Haven't been here for a while. The place is under new management and I gotta say, it was a great experience. The customer service was great but the sushi was incredible!! It wasn't too busy when we got there but it got a bit busy after. Not noisy, which is a plus because I didn't have to scream to talk but over all it was a great time. Customer service was great. I will definitely recommend my family and friends. TRY THE SPICY GARLIC EDAMAME!!!! Oof ! You'll thank me later! read more

no greeting when I walked in i got no greeting sat my self at the bar and a server gave me a menu did not say hi at all. after a while came the manager Gabriel and took my order the sushi was okey then I order a ck teriyaki was suggested by Gabriel and boy the worst teriyaki ck i ever had by far and also the banana tempura desert was so bad felt like was fried in old oil . I told Gabriel I did not like the tempura but took the ck teriyaki home to my son . my son threw up after one bite . For I spent most of my life in the hospitality and food industry , was very disappointed. read more

Love eating local when I can, and now I think I've found my local sushi spot! (Walking distance from me... there is street parking though) Great variety of specialty rolls, but most are $15+ just so you know ahead of time. I had the pink dragon roll which was a nice twist! (Peppered salmon on the outside and shrimp tempura on the inside). Would love to try the white dragon roll next time (albacore). Salmon skin salad was surprisingly my favorite dish of the night! Plentiful spring mix with cucumbers and salmon skin and just the right amount of dressing! Highly recommend for adding some greens to the meal. Agedashi tofu - first time having it served in a warm soup broth, but I would ask for it on the side next time since I like my tofu on the crispy side! Baked blue crab cut roll was pretty good, served with soy paper on the outside. Would try their hand roll next time! Indoor/ Patio seating available at this time. read more

Really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance at this awesome restaurant!! We will be back! The spicy tuna on crispy rice and yellowtail carpaccio were awesome starters.

I've come here a couple of times and it's been consistently excellent. The sushi sampler in particular is a not to be missed dish. 5 truly excellent pieces of fish plus miso soup. Prices are reasonable and an excellent deal for the quality. Family enjoyed California roll and salmon sushi too. Service is quick and friendly. The sushi choice leans more to the basics rather than the exotic so it's more of the go to place for just a satisfying good meal. read more

I have been here approximately 6 other times. The food is good, albeit a bit expensive, and have always had a good experience until today. Last time they forgot my little side miso soup, so I mentioned that today. The dark haired brunette was very very rude. It was shocking to me as a paying customer how rude she was. I asked to speak with the manager and try why said there was no manager, I asked for the owner's info, and they said no way to get a hold of the owner. I rarely if ever write bad reviews, but for a place that I really enjoyed previously, I was left not only upset over not getting the soup they had missed last time, but also frustrated and upset. read more
