My wife had just picked me up from LAX right about lunchtime and we both thought sushi sounded good. As we each scrolled through countless very well written and informative Yelp sushi reviews this little place that has a ribeye plate AND sushi with a Latino twist jumped out at me.....we agreed and took off to eat!! I was blown away by the genuine hospitality....turning the swamp cooler towards us, finding a parking spot for us, holding it, and then helping me squeeze every single inch out of that spot. Good People!! Be aware parking kinda sucks but just keep an eye on the "no parking" signs. I don't think I've even mentioned the food yet??!! Good LAWD!!! We ordered a few different rolls and took the waiter's suggestion on a few more. We had WAY TOO MUCH FOOD so we decided to try the steak on another visit. Everything was delicious and colorful and represented both cultures very well I thought. Fresh, colorful, and delicious. The best part was the honest, straight from the heart conversation with the "owner" who rang up our bill, which I felt was underpriced,...way too cheap. Ambiance is South LA with a Latin flair. Comfortable, super hospitable and fun people to be around!! I was all over the place with this review, sorry about that... please check them out, it was great. read more

Heads up: there's a few parking spots marked yellow on the curb right in front for dine in. If you can't find a spot, there's street parking within a block or so in front of a school if you're visiting on the weekend! Now let's talk about the dishes! Typically my husband and share an appetizer and a few rolls to leave a restaurant satisfied. Well Traviesuhi rolls are in a league of their own when it comes to taste and size. It was hard to choose with so many options but each one we ordered was delicious! There's about 5-6 tables so the servers work as a team to tend to everyone. They were friendly and patient. There's not a fountain for drinks instead they have cans/bottles. I saw a few patrons with their own refillable water bottles so that's an option too! Highly recommend for delicious casual sushi dining experience! read more

Great sushi spot in basically the hood! Very nondescript and small location, but those are the best spots! Our servers were very nice; even gave us a free appetizer for the wait, and we didn't really wait that long! We tried the karaage chicken, gyoza dumplings, a sushi roll, and some yakisoba noodles with chicken and steak; everything was super fresh and very delicious! We'll def have to come back again, because they have a fairly extensive menu, as it's a sort of Japanese fusion restaurant with a Mexican twist (they even got Mexican coke!) read more

Been wanting to come since i live nearby. Very convenient if you want sushi and/or last minute and don't want to make a drive to your go-to. Love that it's family oriented. They are all very helpful and happy to see you there! The sushi & sashimi tasted fresh. Compared to other mom & pop huts i've gone to for lunches, this one is solid. No alcohol since there are schools in the area. Place is small but feels spacious. Honestly feels cool to have a sushi spot in the hood. Be humble! Support your locals read more

Tried Travei Sushi and everything was so fresh and delicious. We ordered rolls and they were honestly really good -- great quality and flavor. We came about an hour before closing and they still sat us right away with no attitude, which I really appreciated. Customer service was great too -- we spoke with Frank, super friendly and sweet guy who made the experience even better. The spot is very takeout-friendly, but still comfortable if you dine in. I also loved that they have options for people who don't like fish, like veggie rolls and beef rolls. We got the King Kong roll and it was huge and sooo good. Only small downside is they don't have fountain drinks, but honestly the food and service made up for it. Everything we tried was delicious and we'll definitely be back. read more

If you're visiting La or live there I highly suggest you visit ..., this hidden gem will absolutely touch both your heart and your stomach. Every dish is clearly made with love and kindness, and from the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly welcoming and happy to help if you have any questions about the menu. The ambiance is clean and inviting, and I love that the kitchen is right in front of you--you can truly see how fresh everything is. Every dish is made to order, so be ready... they do not play about their portions! You will leave full and very happy. The bento box completely shocked my father (in the best way ). And after all that delicious food, do not forget to order the ice cream tempura--it's the perfect ending. Highly recommend. This place deserves every one of its 5 stars! read more

Never seen a sushi place with 5 stars on both Google and Yelp. Totally delivered and I now understand. Yes, it's deep in LA, but to find a gem like this that would excel in OC or big cities on Compton Blvd.. Amazing. Service was on point, Frank was engaging and made sure we had the best experience. Diamond in the rough doesn't give it justice.. read more

A Hidden Gem with Heart and Flavor! Just pulled up to Traviesushi for the second time and man... this spot does not disappoint. Their menu is massive, so I decided to explore a bit and ordered the "Ceromiedo" roll -- fire. Also got a tekka hand roll and a crispy California roll for the kids. It was their first intro to sushi, and it was a hit! They're officially on the sushi train now. My oldest went with the nabeyaki udon -- huge portion and packed with flavor. She couldn't finish it, but the staff was super sweet and packed it up for us with care. For dessert? Tempura ice cream. I don't even gotta say much... just trust -- it was delicious. But the real standout wasn't just the food -- it was the heart behind it. The owner personally came over to check on us, and we had one of those rare, genuine conversations you don't expect when you're out to eat. He shared how he opened this place for the community -- a community he's lived in for many years and still calls home. He didn't just want to serve sushi, he wanted to bring something meaningful to the neighborhood. Something created with love, for the people around him. That kind of purpose? You can feel it in the energy. You can taste it in the food. You see it in how the staff treats you like family. Traviesushi isn't just a spot to grab sushi -- it's a place built with intention, heart, and a whole lot of love for the community. If you're anywhere near Watts, this is the kind of local gem that deserves to be supported and celebrated. Spots like this should be packed -- not just because the food is good, but because the mission behind it is even better. Un Tesoro Escondido con Sazón y Corazón Esta fue mi segunda visita a Traviesushi y la neta... este lugar no falla. Tienen un menú enorme, así que me animé a probar el rollo "Ceromiedo" -- una chulada. También pedí un hand roll de tekka y un rollo California crujiente para los niños. Era su primera vez probando sushi... ¡y les encantó! Ya se subieron al tren del sushi sin miedo. Mi hija mayor pidió el nabeyaki udon -- viene con una porción generosa y un sabor riquísimo. No pudo terminarlo ahí mismo, pero el personal fue súper amable y nos lo empacaron con todo el cuidado. ¿Y de postre? Helado tempura. No hay mucho que decir más que... una delicia total. Pero lo que realmente se me quedó grabado no fue solo la comida -- fue el corazón detrás de todo esto. El dueño vino personalmente a saludarnos y acabamos teniendo una de esas pláticas sinceras que no te esperas cuando vas a comer. Nos contó cómo y por qué abrió este lugar: por la comunidad. Lleva muchos años viviendo aquí y este sigue siendo su hogar. No quería solo vender sushi -- quería regalarle algo bonito y con amor a su gente. Ese tipo de propósito se siente en el ambiente, se saborea en cada bocado, y se nota en cómo todo el personal te trata como si fueras de la familia. Traviesushi no es solo un lugar para comer sushi -- es un espacio hecho con intención, cariño y muchísimo amor por la comunidad. Si estás por Watts o cerca, este es el tipo de lugar que merece todo el apoyo. Lugares así deberían estar llenos todos los días -- no solo por lo rico que está, sino por lo bonito que representa. read more

My daughter and I stopped by because she wanted sushi. Her favorite fish is salmon. I saw they had good reviews on Google. We got the deluxe combo, rainbow roll, and salmon skin roll. I heard they had GOOD portions and the reviews were right. The salmon peices are large. The tekka maki (tuna) was also really big. The salmon skin roll was probably the biggest hand roll I've ever had. Although I like my salmon skin roll more crunchy and this wasn't very crunchy, I still enjoyed it very much. The fried ice cream was good although it had a little more breading than I would have liked. The service was really good. Johan was really attentive and took really good care of us. The dynamite sauce has a kick to it and the owner was nice enough to share she adds habanero to add the heat. This is a great family run restaurant. I would definitely stop by again. Support small business! read more

Truly and I mean truly one of the most nauseating and disgusting sushi experiences of my life. Ordered $130 of sushi and all went to the trash. The fish was rotten and smelled so bad. I have sushi once a week for the last 20 years and never in my life have I had something this bad. read more

This place is a gem! I went there about 2 weeks ago and I was surprised how good the sushi was and service. It's a family owned place in an unusual location but it was amazing. I was skeptical at first because I usually go for sushi to lLittle Tokyo but this place is near by my boyfriend's house and he had checked it out a week prior and told me it was good. The ambiance was great and the family was very attentive. A must try the avocado boom appetizer soooo good! If you are in the area please give this place a try! read more
