Came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a group of four, and the experience was great from start to finish. The ambiance was cool and modern, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. And the food... superb. Somehow ended up ordering four or five soft-shell crab hand rolls, so clearly I found my favorite. At that point, I was basically on a roll... Already eager to come back for another round. read more

Yunomi Handroll - Soft Shell Crab - MUST GET - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3" Hair In my roll!!! My girlfriend and I had dinner at and we left with very mixed feelings. The menu is impressive, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious--until my warm crab roll arrived with a long hair cooked into it. It was incredibly unpleasant and completely ruined the meal for me. What disappointed me even more was how the situation was handled. Rather than acknowledging the issue, management and the chef tried to convince me that the hair was actually a strand from my wooden chopsticks. It was very clearly a long human hair, not a splinter or thread from the chopsticks. That response was frustrating and made the experience worse. On a positive note, the restaurant has a fantastic menu, the food itself is very good, and it's easy to see why there's usually a line out the door. We were seated immediately, and our servers were attentive and friendly throughout the meal. I also noticed there wasn't an "A" health grade posted in the front window, which gave me some pause considering what happened. I really wanted to love this restaurant because the food has so much potential, but cleanliness and taking responsibility when something goes wrong are just as important as great flavor. I hope they address these issues because the cuisine truly deserves it. read more

Yunomi Handroll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Visited for the second time and can confirm this is still my favorite handroll restaurant. There doesn't seem to be a reservation option, so be sure to join the waitlist. On weekends, expect to wait at least an hour. Luckily, there are plenty of bars nearby to kill time. Death & Co is right next door if you're in the mood for unique cocktails, and EightyTwo is a short walk away for more budget-friendly drinks. Parking is easy enough since there are lots all around, but prices vary. I still haven't found the best deal - the one I used was $10/hour. Seating is limited and bar-top style, so it can feel pretty tight. The stools aren't the most comfortable either, so don't be surprised if you accidentally elbow your neighbor. I recommend ordering one of the handroll sets. My favorites are the yellowtail and albacore handrolls. The yellowtail sashimi is good too, but I actually prefer it as a handroll. You also can't go wrong with the rock shrimp tempura as an appetizer. read more

That is some pretty good hand rolls. The sushi was delicious. We tried a variety of their items. I wish I took more photos to show how presentable each dish was. The service was excellent and service is quick. Plenty of public parking lots, of course there is a fee. lol read more

Came by on a Saturday evening and the wait was around 30 minutes. Heard about this place from another Yelper and had to try it as a sushi lover. The ambiance was your typical hand roll bar where you can watch your hand rolls being made, and the staff was very attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the six hand roll set with an additional blue crab hand roll. It definitely didn't disappoint- this might be one of my new favorite hand roll spots! The parking situation was a little tough. We circled the surrounding streets multiple times before finally finding street parking that ended up being about an 8-10 minute walk from the restaurant. Compared to other hand roll spots, I appreciated that the fish in these hand rolls was cubed rather than shredded. This was a huge plus since it helped preserve the flavor and texture of the fish. You could really taste how fresh everything was. My favorites were the blue crab roll and the salmon roll. The rice to fish ratio was perfect, and the timing interval at which each hand roll came out was also good. Besides the parking situation, everything else exceeded expectations. Would definitely come here again for the hand rolls. read more

Delicious hand rolls made with simplicity and was fresh. The rock shrimp appetizer reminds me of honey walnut shrimp. Since the restaurant only includes counter space/the bar, your entire party needs to be there in order to sit down. Came for lunch in the middle of summer. I thought it was strange that cold drinks were served without ice and it felt hotter in there than the outside temperature. read more

A cute new hand roll spot opened up in the DTLA area! I definitely recommend making a reservation online, especially since seating is limited. Just a heads-up that they do have a 45-minute dining limit during rush hour. We started with the six-hand-roll set, which included tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, and shrimp tempura. I liked that they gave us the option to make the rolls spicy or non-spicy. All of the fish tasted fresh, and each hand roll was served right after it was made, so the seaweed was still crispy. After finishing the set, we were still a little hungry, so we ordered a few of their specialty hand rolls: unagi and shrimp tempura, plus the soft-shell crab. The soft-shell crab was BOMB and was easily my favorite thing we ordered. It was a cute spot with good-quality hand rolls, and I would definitely come back, especially for the soft-shell crab! read more

I was in the area for a job interview and had always noticed this spot, but usually ended up going to Kazunori instead. I'm so glad I finally gave it a try because I honestly think it can rival Kazunori. You can choose between the original or spicy option. The spicy version is mixed with a mayo-based spicy sauce, while the original lets the flavor of the fish shine more. Both are great depending on what you're in the mood for. This would make a perfect date night spot since you can easily bar hop around the Arts District afterward. The service is super quick, and the overall vibe is more of a grab a light bite kind of place before continuing to explore LA. I'd definitely come back. read more

Parking!! I believe it's mainly street, but we found parking straightaway on a Monday night. The inside is super clean and tranquil. Note that you can join waitlist remotely, but be sure to check its the right location!!! I decided against the set this time and got individual handrails. I splurged on the soft shell crab and it was so delicious and crispy. The Yunomi special was also fresh with a little crunch from the shrimp tempura. These two premium rolls came with a special seaweed (which I preferred) and did not get as soggy and chewy as other standard seaweed do. I also ordered a scallop handroll (standard seaweed) and the scallop was super fresh and plump. Finally, I ended on a spicy salmon (mine came with the special seaweed). The food was filling and super fresh. I definitely will want to come back and try some apps too. Service was very attentive. I did enjoy the little touch of the hand towel for before/after the meal. I noticed they were burning incense, which triggered some sneezes. Just beware, for those more sensitive to smell. read more

8.5/10 Got the rock shrimp tempura and the 3 handroll set. Highly recommended the shrimp and the spicy tuna hand roll was my favorite handroll by far. Full bar vibes are cool and id definitely come back for a 4 handroll set read more

My party of 6 strolled in at 4pm on a Saturday. We didn't have to wait to be seated. (As if we were favored by the sushi gods, lol.) The hand rolls came fast. Service was casual but attentive. Faves for me at this Michelin-starred spot: * Having a wet hand towel to start the service. (A nostalgic touch that brings me back to old traditions) * The ceviche with thinly sliced kumquats and chilies, and bright citrusy sauce. Left with 6 satisfied tummies. read more

Came here to try the cut rolls to go. Service was amazing besides receiving two dirty glasses to drink while I wait for my to go order. The cut rolls were super tiny for the price but tasted good. Definitely different from kazu nori. I would definitely come back to try their dining experience and see how they are compared to kazu nori. read more

Yunomi Handroll - 5 Four Cutroll Box and spicy 5 Four Cutroll Box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The rolls at Yunomi were so good! I chose to do Individual rolls + speciality instead of a set. I tried the scallop, hamachi, yunomi special, blue crab, and spicy shrimp & snow crab. My favorite was the scallop hand roll with seaweed spicy! My least favorite was the spicy shrimp & snow crab, it was just okay. Besides the hand rolls, I also got the rock shrimp tempura. This was absolutely delicious!! It was perfectly crispy, and coated in a creamy spicy sauce! All the ingredients in the rolls were super fresh but the standout for me was the seaweed that the spicy options came in. The seaweed seemed like it was roasted and brushed either oil, it was also crunchier than the regular seaweed. My boyfriend said the Salmon hand roll was his favorite, so I'll definitely have to try that next time. It can get pretty expensive if you just order individual rolls/specialty rolls instead of a set but so worth it to me! I think I prefer this to Kazunori, overall everything here was more elevated and tasted better. read more

Never Fails. One of My Favorite Sushi Spots in LA I've been here about 20 times, and Yunomi Handroll has never disappointed me. The service is always excellent, attentive, friendly, and professional. The hand rolls are coursed out at the perfect pace, so you're never rushed and each roll arrives fresh. The restaurant is consistently clean, and the restrooms are always stocked and well maintained. We started with the freshly brewed Genmaicha served in a cast iron teapot (5/5) a great way to start the meal. Appetizers: *Brussels Sprouts - 5/5: Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and addictive. *Cucumber Salad - 5/5: Fresh, crisp, and refreshing. *Green Beans - 5/5: Fantastic flavor and cooked perfectly. For hand rolls, I went with the Spicy 5 Set: *Spicy Tuna - 5/5 *Albacore - 5/5 *Salmon - 5/5 *Scallop - 5/5 (my personal favorite) *Shrimp Tempura - 5/5 The quality of the fish is consistently excellent, the nori is always crisp, and every roll tastes incredibly fresh. They also have a great selection of Japanese beers if you're looking for something to pair with your meal. After roughly 20 visits, I can confidently say Yunomi is one of the most consistent dining experiences I've had. If you're a fan of hand rolls, this place is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Yunomi Handroll - Cucumber Salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yunomi Handroll is located in Arts District in downtown Los Angeles and it's in the Michelin Guide for their handrolls. I went with their Five Handroll Set for $26 and I got a Japanese Beer for $10. They have a decent selection of Japanese canned beers that run from $8 to $16. The handrolls are priced fair and they're decent; however, the Albacore handroll was chopped too finely for my tastes. I did like their Shrimp tempura. When you order their handroll sets, they ask if you want it spicy or non-spicy. I can handle spice; however, I think the "spicy" version was heavy on the mayo and I'd recommend the non-spicy version. I came here for a lunch before a Dodger game and I think it was a great choice; however, I can't say it's better than other Handroll spots like Rol (in orange county) or Kazunori. read more

My partner and I ordered the 6 roll set (1 not included in the pictures). Fresh fish in each hand roll, including the tempura, which was fried by the back kitchen staff upon the chef's request. Some of the rolls included green onions. All included rice. Tempura roll included thinly sliced cucumbers and sauce. They have options for seaweed or soy wrap. The seaweed has about 10-12 seconds before it loses crispiness. Edamame was well cooked and lightly salted. Very clean restaurant and fast service. There was only 1 chef making the rolls at the front for about 20 people and the other servers either cleaned up or served drinks and other dishes. We went around 12:30pm on 4th of July and were seated right away. Outdoor seating is available but for a hand-roll bar, it's always best to sit at the chef's table. Sen cha had light tea flavor and a bit of sweetness to it. There was a timer to inform you when the tea had steeped. If you have difficulty holding items over 3lbs, be careful lifting the tea kettle. read more

My friend recommended this place! We came in on a Saturday night for a party of 3. They have a waitlist but there was no wait to be seated. Parking is a little tough along the main road. The restaurant is cute and located in a great spot to walk around. I ordered 4 hand rolls separately, 2 scallop, 1 crab and 1 salmon. The fish was fresh and great portions. Service was good, very quick and kept checking on us. The only downside is that there were a bunch of flies in the restaurant that kept flying on our food :( read more

Yunomi Handroll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the things I craved most during pregnancy was Yunomi! Eating it again tasted even better than I remembered. I usually get the 4 or 5 hand roll set. Their regular rolls are amazing, salmon is my favorite, and I love the eel and shrimp tempura special roll! Beyond the food, things are run very efficiently here. You get in and out really fast. But the place is small, so get here early to avoid a wait. Parking around the area is meter parking or paid lots. Highly recommend! read more

This place was great. Parking is a little hard but it is LA so that's understandable. They don't take reservations, only walk in so take that into consideration since they might get busy and you'll have to wait. They also only have limited seating and it is all bar seating. I recommend getting one of the sets. We got the 5 set and it was super filling and amazing. Each roll gets made at the bar in front of you. You can pick between spicy and non spicy but you wont be able to mix and match so keep that in mind. I got the non spicy and my friend got the spicy but she said it was really good, so you won't be disappointed with either option. We also got the Spicy Albacore on Crispy Rice as an appetizer which was fire. Overall if you have the opportunity to check this place out I highly recommend it. read more

I looooove Yunomi. It's so much better than the other popular handroll spot, I'm sure you all know which one I'm referring to. I will choose Yunomi over that other spot any day! I come here when I go to my downtown office and I look forward to it every time. The handroll sets are such a good value, and you can choose between spicy or not-spicy. They also have an appetizers menu with lots of variety. It's a handroll bar, so only a few seats, but service is quick. Ambiance is cool and trendy, but that might have to do with it being in the Arts District. Will definitely be back, multiple times over! read more

I had never really been a fan of hand rolls until I tried Yunomi! The seaweed is not chewy or weird tasting. It is crisp, fresh and actually refreshing. The staff is always super friendly and nice. The seats are a little close together so be ready for that lol They have some good sake options as well read more

Yunomi was a bit of a letdown for me. I ordered takeout expecting something fresh and flavorful, but it honestly tasted more like grocery store sushi than a restaurant experience. The fish didn't stand out, and the rolls felt pretty basic and lacking that quality you hope for when ordering out. Since it's takeout only, I wasn't expecting a full dining experience, but I still hoped the food would shine on its own. Unfortunately, it just didn't hit the mark for me. read more

I heard good things about Yunomi and I was looking for a new restaurant to try with a friend and we came here! We got the 3-roll combo because we are both broke college students and felt like this was a good combination that could allow us to sample some of the options. The tuna was fairly unmemorable but the quality of the fish was solid. The salmon was buttery and had a very clean bite, which was probably my favorite roll. I liked the crispiness of the tempura and the contrast with the cucumber, but it was a little batter heavy. Overall, it was a little pricey for how much food it was but 3 rolls was sufficiently filling for me. read more

Michelin rated! Fresh, quality sushi, beautifully presented in a vibey location. Service: attentive, personable waiting staff. This place is quite small, so the wait can get long but dinner is quick due to how everything is set up. No wait early Thursday evening (5:30pm). Food: everything is good. Favorite is ANY HAND ROLL. Even the pickled ginger and seaweed wraps are fire. Sake: we asked for sweet and got a good recommendation. Parking: paid lots and limited street. Typical arts district chaos. Overall one of my favorite casual but elevated spots to grab sushi. Will be back next week. read more

We got - sunomono - seaweed salad - Brussels sprouts - avocado cucumber roll - 3 roll set IMO no need to get both cucumber and seaweed salad, they have the same seasoning and the seaweed salad contains the cucumber already. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, crispy and very well seasoned. Parking is street parking only in the arts district, good luck. read more

Yunomi Handroll - Spicy Albacore Crispy Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been meaning to check out Yunomi for a while now and I'm so glad I finally did. We came around 2pm and were seated immediately. We ordered the brussels sprouts, spicy albacore on crispy rice, and the 6 handroll set per person. I loved that there was a spicy option for the handroll, and I really enjoyed the extra crisp from the Korean seaweed paper they use for it. Definitely a nice extra touch! The handrolls were all delicious. It felt like a more elevated take on other handroll spots. The appetizers were excellent as well. The food came out FAST! I loved that I could be in and out without the quality or dining experience being compromised. Friendly staff and speedy, efficient service. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

January 2026 - Made a reservation. Since there's a time limit on the seating and wait times can be long, I highly recommend making a reservation. Overall I would come back if I feel like dealing with the parking situation. Food/Pricing - Spicy Albacore Crispy Rice $16 - if you do not enjoy fried onion, this dish may not be for you as they do add hella onion on top of the albacore but I do enjoy the taste of it so I loved this dish. Six Handroll Set $30 - tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, shrimp tempura. All solid and we ordered all of them spicy, which honestly was not spicy at all but just had a very slight kick. Service/Ambiance - quick and friendly service. Parking - Paid a crazy amount to park across the street. The rate was like $4 for every 15 minutes. Try your best to find street parking. read more

I didn't even get to try the food which is disappointing because I was excited... I'm leaving 1 star based on customer service. Upon entering the gentleman in the front told me to add my name to the waitlist (mind you it's a Tuesday afternoon so it's not crowded at all) then disappears to the back. I waited for too long while others who were definitely not on the waitlist or had reservations were escorted and given seats. Eventually, after several groups were seated was I noticed but it left a bad taste in my mouth I just ended up leaving and grabbing food elsewhere. I really don't like leaving bad reviews but yikes... do better! read more
