Apparently this business has been here since the 70's, and after over 40 years in business. I love to see when places have renovated and updated. The inside is clean, welcoming and beautiful decorated. It's clearly family owned with love. Our waiter kept asking personal questions like what we had for breakfast which was endearing and kind, like he has been coached on making small talk. I order the tempura chicken lunch special and it's exactly what you would get elsewhere tempura chicken and vegetables with rice. It was just ok, my girl got sushi and loved it. Prices were also reasonable given the neighborhood. Great if you're looking for cheap sushi read more

Tenmasa Sushi Bar - Japanese Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Tenmasa is still the "go to" Japanese and Sushi restaurant for decades. I first visited in early 1980s, and it was the rock n roll sushi spot across from the Roxy and Rainbow on Sunset Blvd. I was a regular and always impressed how kind yet serious the family was in running their family business. Mother, father, and their son always so gracious and polite - and the sushi fresh and outstanding. I moved away over 20 years ago and just visited again and they are exactly the same. And food continues to be 5-Star. Guaranteed you will not be disappointed! read more

So, when I googled, the website said the salmon skin salad was $9.95. I thought that was wild, but I walked over. The salad was $16.95 & the WORST salmon skin salad I've ever had & I've had a lot. I ordered sake & Sapporo so I can pretend I wasn't pissed. I walked, so I didn't just leave. I'll just never come back. Not that they'd care. read more

It was a dark and not so stormy night - this place is across from the Roxy and just west-ish of the Whiskey and The Viper Room. Thursday night was very quiet at 8pm. Staff was relaxed. The food was good, but sushi was unavailable. There were signs regarding curry plates, but we had teriyaki chicken and that was good. Even with limited service it's a good place to recharge. read more

Yummy! Local sushi spot I have been visiting for over 10 years. Never disappointed. The location is local & the ambience is nice & clean. One of the owners, Senchi is always very polite & even personally delivers when I need it, or cannot stop in. Delicious options! Fresh Fish! Favorites: Salmon Teriyaki Entree, Cali Cut Roll, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Yellowtail Scallion Cut Roll, Chicken Curry Entree, Vegetable Tempura, Steamed Chicken Gyoza & the Green Tea Tempura Ice Cream. Definitely recommend Tenmasa for locals & others! read more

Great food for lunch here, everyone is so kind and friendly. Will recommend to my friends and family!

Sushi was fresh and tasty but the chef doesn't know how to wrap the rolls. Every roll, I mean EVERY roll fell apart! Also, not sure why, but everything was too sweet. Maybe sugar in the rice?! Wish I could give them more stars but it's pretty frustrating when everything you're trying to eat falls apart before you even get to taste it! And the waiter brought our check while we were still eating! I didn't even ask for it. read more

Food was good and the owner was really nice and talkative Lunch special is a good price! Would recommend!

The teriyaki chicken lunch special is a weekly staple. Hard to beat for the quality/price.

Went in today with my boyfriend around 2pm for lunch special. No greeting. Self sat. Waiter dropped menus off. Didn't tell us about any of the specials. Really not friendly service. Ended up just putting an order in for chicken curry, teriyaki, pot stickers, lemonade, waters. The food tasted like it'd been sitting around for a day or maybe day old food. Chicken was rubbery. Overall quality pretty low despite this place getting 4 stars. Also, service was non existent and we never got refills on water or our lemonade that we ordered. Server never came back to check on us after dropping off food. Pretty bad service considering there was only one person in the restaurant . read more

The lunch specials are delicious. The service is exceptional, and the plates are good size.

The pork bao buns are superb. It's never really busy in there which is wild to me because it should be packed from the back buns alone

I love Tenmasa. Next to Sagami in Collingswood, NJ, this is one of my favorite sushi places that I've been to in the entire country. I've been coming back here for years. What I love so much about it is the simple presentation, and the extremely high quality fish. I also love the atmosphere. Extremely nice people. I will come back here every chance I get, truly! read more

This is an LA staple it is still family owned. They've been there for years. Their sushi is the freshest cleanest sushi I've ever had. If you want to try some thing that's fire. Try their jalapeño roll or their soft shell crab roll. Also, their sushi salad is to die for the dressing is made fresh there. Everything is fresh and made to order. I would not miss this. They have great prices and if you want a bento box or you want curry, they have amazing lunch options. read more

Great food for a very reasonable price (for California). Very friendly staff as well.

Food (5/5): The sushi is packed with flavor! I ordered the spicy salmon roll. The salmon tasted fresh and the spiciness comes through towards the end. I get my nails done across the street and I usually come early. I'll definitely be coming here to get my sushi fix before my nails every three weeks. Come support this small Asian business! Service (5/5): The woman who seems to be the owner is such a sweet Japanese lady. She was so amiable and hospitable. Making the sushi was super quick, suitable for on the go. Price (5/5): ~$9 for the 8-10 pieces. Ambiance (5/5): Perfect place to go for casual dining. Great for couples, families, friends and the like. Super clean and cozy inside. read more

I used to be a regular at Tenmasa when I worked on the block. I did not eat there for a decade and kept wondering how it was doing and whether it was still as good as I had remembered (places rarely are). Tenmasa still has the most amazing Miso Soup, made lovingly by the woman who owns the restaurant. It is truly the best Miso Soup I have ever had! She works on the Miso for many years and that sort of dedication to quality food is hard to find outside of Michelin Starred Restaurants! Her son still waits on tables and together they provide the sort of "family dinner feeling" that makes eating at Tenmasa truly a lovely experience. There are other sushi places with higher end fish and more elegant dishes. There is no place I have ever been with better Miso Soup and authentic family-style service. Their cooked dishes are also excellent and worth trying in addition to the raw fish. All-in-all, a wonderful place for lunch or dinner (and ... to make this an even better bet ... they have a free private parking lot just to the East of the building, next to the large 9000 building!). read more

My company just moved into an office building nearby, and Tenmasa popped up when I looked up lunch options in the area. I saw that they had lunch specials so walked on down to check it out. The restaurant itself is clean, and well-appointed, and service was quick and friendly. The food was solid, but I was so disappointed that they had removed all of the sushi-related lunch specials, and are only offering heavier comfort food for lunch menus now. I really wish they would bring back the roll + salad combo - I would be here all the time! If it were a cost issue, a $1-2 upcharge would totally make sense given how reasonable prices are as a baseline. Quality in general was solid, just wish they had specials that might appeal to more health-conscious lighter eaters, especially with Summer coming up. read more

Great sushi. Wonderful Japanese family owed. I visit often and they are very polite, accommodating and their food is very clean. They have been on the sunset strip for over 30 years. read more

Hidden little gem. Outside looks very nondescript but once you step in the restaurant the layout looks completely different. The atmosphere was very calm and peaceful and I was greeted by Mrs. T herself who took my order in a very quick manner. She crafted the rolls for me personally. The food was legit as the rice and the fish was extremely fresh. Note she is very authentically japanese and all in all my experience was great. Can't wait to visit once more. Hate that I placing my review up as I don't want to give away this place to the public but the food was that good. Have to show some love and share to the rest of the world and the la peeps! read more

What an awesome delight. Tried this place a couple of week ago and so good i had to find an excuse to see a friend who lives down the street from here :). Food is fresh and simple (in the best way) that each bite really had me enjoying the full taste. I ordered scallops and yellow tail sushi, gobo (root) in olive oil, and soft shell crabs- I had a mix of things! I wish the menu said what is the 911 and Papasan roll tho. The menu is a little skinny for the sushi but it's understandable with the pandemic. I deeply appreciate that the menu offers comfort Japanese food too like curry, udon and soba! I also can't wait to come back when indoor dining is back. The place looks super cute and from prior photos I think the chef can make more than what's on the menu right now. read more

This place is delicious and must visit if you haven't tried it. Friendly service and plenty of parking. Highly recommend it. read more

Good vibes and even better food. I have been looking for Japanese comfort food in the area and thought it was nonexistent but luckily I walked past Tenmasa! Went with the Chicken Curry, which was perfect: the chicken was tender, they added bell pepper--my favorite--and served in the traditional plating. It's hard to find gobo and they have it here! Best part--they make their own miso and it has a hearty, full-bodied flavor. It's not just about the sushi here--the tempura and curry are the best in the neighborhood. C It's my new Sunset Blvd favorite! read more

I was waiting for a show all day across at the Roxy so I stopped in to pick up some food to-go. I got the chicken teriyaki meal and it was such a good portion for the price and so delicious!! The people working were so friendly and asking about the show. I will be back next time I'm in the area for sure! read more

2nd time is a charm. I like that it is quiet and not loud. This is a good place for their lunch special Their brown rice is purple and multi colored. Its so unique and they give a generous amount of it. Their California rolls are alright. The spicy tuna rolls and raw dishes are not bad at all. I came with work and my boss loves this place. read more

1000000/10. I have lived in west la for 7 years and always thought the sushi in la was mid at best. That there was something about the weather that kept it from tasting fresh like east coast sushi. Then I came here. This may be my new favorite restaurant in LA. The sushi is mind blowing fresh and tasty. For the price point it's truly unbeatable. Had no idea it was possible for sushi to taste this fresh. Like wow. I also love that it's comfy seating which is so rare at sushi places. Sage helped me and he was an absolute gem. This is my happy place. I could literally eat here everyday, I had the sushi, tempura, and spider roll all were incredible. I'm so happy I stumbled across this hidden gem read more

Always great to come here. They have some great lunch deals & its always super quiet here The salmon and yellowtail are always super fresh and the servers are very efficient. Very simple menu and they can make anything you want if its not on there read more

Favorite lunch and casual dinner spot in LA. The food is fresh, authentic and fantastic! Lovely owners that are always smiles. Such good value and location with parking on sunset too! This place should have a line out the door! read more

A true gem on Sunset. This place has phenomenal Japanese food. I can't recommend it enough to everyone I meet. I'm vegetarian so I always get their Vegetable Curry and their other lunch specials and I haven't found a better place that does it. Also you can't beat their prices I think their lunch specials are like $8!! read more

The food was awesome, especially for the price point! The server anticipated our needs so the dinner experience flowed.

If you've lived in this town long enough, one gains an appreciation for businesses that persevere over the decades. So much has changed, so coming across those cultural institutions that are still around, like the Roxy and the Rainbow across the street harken back to visits to Tenmasa either before or after a show. First time for lunch and a totally different scene. The lunch crowd all had on orange and neon green vests from a local construction site... because there is always construction going on! Discovering Tenmasa is still up and running with efficient service and a well priced lunch was a treat. Always start with the Miso soup, then followed by the spicy salmon roll salad, the dressing was light, the ginger on the side was delicious! My friend had the teriyaki chicken special... only demerit was being served in styrofoam. that didn't really make sense... my lunch arrived on a glass plate... so aesthetically and environmentally not pleasing. Other than that, food was good and service was great. read more
