    Yellow tail, and Escolar on top. Albacore on the bottom.

    I came here to try their AYCE option (the regular $34.99) they have a solid specialty roll selection without being repetitive like other AYCE sushi spots. I'm not sure if it's the rice or sauce they use for the nigiri but it has a good/unique taste that enhanced even more when you did it in soy sauce that's I've never experienced with any other sushi I've had. Overall we had good service, inside they have a bar area, two dining sides and a few TVs. They have a shared parking lot which is a rare plus for a restaurant on Ventura Blvd.

    If you're hungry... this is THE place I've probably been here 2,000 times and it never disappoints. Great Korean sushi and all-you-can-eat experience with lots of variety, fresh fish, and delicious rolls. Portions are generous, service is quick, and there is always something new to try. One of those places you keep coming back to again and again.live skinny roll when I am on diet, and black dragon anytime and everyday. Kids enjoy this place too.plenty of space for parties. Highly recommend!

    Super super super friendly service from George and Julie that we received on Tuesday at 4:15pm. The two servers working were so kind and accommodating. My first time at this restaurant and I felt inclined to write the interview in the middle of eating because it was everything was so good!! Their sushi quality is the best and everything tasted so yummy. The ambiance of the place is so clean and modern with nice music playing in the background. Highly recommend coming here for AYCE sushi for $34.99. There's a small parking lot that's shared with a couple businesses.

    Food: 4.2 Service: 5.0 Stopped by this place for the 34.99 AYCE lunch. The fish tasted very fresh and tasty. I got about 5 variations of sushi, along with an albacore crispy onion roll, udon soup, a spicy tuna salad and a spicy albacore crispy rice appetizer. Most of the fish was very yummy and you could tell it was high quality. The only thing that I thought was just okay was the spicy tuna made here, as well as the fresh water eel. The eel had too marinated of a flavor and was missing eel sauce and was a bit dry, The spicy tuna too, I thought, needed some work. While it felt fresh, it didn't pass my taste test. All in all, this place is good and I would possibly come back. The design here is modern, with a bunch of booths and the sushi bar for dining in. The service was outstanding. My waiter Housain went above and beyond to make all tables happy. He was intuitive, attentive and friendly. A very good experience overall.

    100% 5 star experience. I really can't think of one experience that we had during our dinner, that would cause Zeppin to get anything less than 5 stars from me! First, the prices for delicious, premium sushi just really can't be beat here. It's affordable for all you can eat (let's face it, sushi isn't cheap!), and what you get is QUALITY. Among my favorites were the baked mussels, tuna crispy rice, and the baked tilapia sushi roll (I do love cream cheese in sushi - I know, sometimes an unpopular opinion!). Also, the ice cream was delicious at the end too! So many flavors to choose from! The service was superb. Food came out quickly, and not tooooo fast that you're like,"Waittt...is this fresh?" Nope just with enough time to get settled in and to get my belly prepared for the appetizer - a few rolls and miso soup. All the servers were friendly, especially Jordan (superrrr sweet, helpful and kind!), and all the servers were hospitable, friendly, and also provided us with other food recs in the area to check out. Awesome! The ambiance was great! There was a large tv where some folks were watching sports, lighting was perfect (especially for pics!), families, couples, sushi bar seating area for when it's busy - just wonderful. And parking wasn't an issue either! Let's be real. When parking isn't a problem, no problem or complaints here! Definitely will be back to try out more delicious items on the list. Everything came out wonderful. Thanks for a delicious dinner!!

    Went here last month on a Sunday for lunch, me and my teen boys did the premium AYCE sushi as we prefer to order mainly nigiri, oysters and Uni. Pricing for regular menu is not that bad so if you're just going to get sushi rolls, you can just do regular menu. We ordered all the premium - you can get extra serving for additional price. The service was fast and efficient. We came early that it wasn't busy but by the time we left there were more customers that came in. This is my go-to in the area if I want some AYCE sushi. They have tv screens so you can also watch the games if you're into sports. Pretty casual and easy going place for a quick lunch or dinner. They also have a selection of alcoholic drinks if you decide to come for late dinner and drinks.

    Parking is easy with them having a dedicated shared parking lot. Was greeted as soon as my party walked in the door. I was offered two options for the AYCE sushi option: a regular for $34.99 and premium for $47.99. I went with the regular and must say I was impressed. The fish quality was good especially for an AYCE and they didn't "over rice" the Nigiri or rolls. Service was great. Only two gripes; no modifications or changes what so ever to the rolls and they use a sauce on their nigiri that has a fermented taste that becomes overbearing.

    Came here for date night with the hubs on a Friday night. It was pretty busy, but we got sat right away. I must say the service was amazing. The staff was so attentive and all of our food and drinks came out quickly. We went for the regular AYCE and it was $36 a person. They do have a premium AYCE that costs a little more and includes things like oysters, uni etc. To start, we ordered their shishito peppers and they were delicious. I loved the sauce! We ordered a couple rolls and a ton of nigiri as well. The albacore, octopus and yellowtail were my favorite. Loved the presentation of all of the food we ordered. Also added a beer and hot sake to complete the meal! The AYCE also comes with ice cream for dessert. They had flavors like Thai tea, black sesame and matcha. The Thai flavor tea was amazing! I originally discovered Zeppin by way of a Yelp Elite Event and wanted to come back with my husband because I enjoyed the sushi so much. I definitely look forward to coming back, as this might be my new go-to local spot for AYCE! If you follow them on social, they have lots of specials all the time, including happy hour.

    Sashimi roll with gobo added for an extra $1

    I believe it's 35$ per person for the basic all you can eat lunch. Comfy atmosphere and plenty of parking. Many options from appetizers to sushi to rolls. My favorite was their yellowtail sushi, so fresh, and the Zeppin roll absolutely delicious with the salmon, eel and spicy tuna combo. Service was quick and fast and you even can take a mini ice cream that's included to go. The coffee icecream and Thai tea icecream were so good !

    Wanted to try something new after the batting cages and mini golf with my kids and ended trying this new spot. I've got to say I think this spot is a hidden gem. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is really nice. The food I would say similar but different than other AYCE. The classic sushi doesn't use too much rice and the fish overall taste really fresh. I've got to say a pretty good place to try. I would have posted some pictures but the food was gone too fast. The best part my kids loved the individually served ice cream cups. Overall a must try and another winning spot in my opinion

    Bravo on the Spicy Tuna & Udon Great clean place!!!

    Amazing Food! Amazing Deal! Spicy tuna, crispy, rice, miso soup, spicy tuna roll... Yummy!

    Yes, it's all you can eat

    So sad to have lost my favorite sushi place, but looking forward to this new one! Does Zeppin offer happy hour and reverse happy hour like octopus did?

    Hello Tiffany. Thanks for asking. Instead of doing Happy Hour, we are planning to do patio open with AYCE!! And right now, we are doing 30 % Discount for every take out order so please visit us soon!

First, it's always busy at dinner, so you know the word is out that it is good. Second, the food is consistantly very good. Third (and can be First), the staff is great.

Little Izaka-ya by Katsu-ya serves the same great taste and standard of any of the Katsu-ya restaurants, only this one will serve smaller dishes.

BUT I suggest you call the city and report the pitted asphalt and GO TO LITTLE IZAKA-YA. Some of my favorite dishes -- all gluten-free -- are the Crispy Rice/Spicy Tuna, jumbo scallop sushi with yuzu and sea salt, salmon skin hand roll (no gobo), albacore sushi with gf ponzu sauce, and the salad with blanched broccoli, asparagus, cucumber, avocado, tomato and lettuce... and a cold house sake.

The fish is so fresh here it honestly shocked my core. You cannot go wrong with the quality and flavor of the food they offer here. Started off the meal with a tuna trio that was listed at the bar and it was out of control. also got a seared garlic tuna, which probably was one of my favorite things on the menu. The sauce itself was something I could bathe in. after much deliberation ended up trying to just eat roll and absolutely was to die for. so shocked by the quality and flavor of the food here that I had to get their signature so what roll just to see what was going on. The staff here is so nice. Ended up at the sushi bar and got to experience everything with the owner and the sushi chefs, which ended up a great choice on your first try here. now I did not exactly pick the bar, but the place was full of reservations, so a slot opened at the bar and I took it. it's a very modern sushi restaurant decor is nice and ambience is not your typical sushi place a little more elevated experience. It is obvious that this place has regulars because the staff is very friendly and says welcome back knowing that they were just there on last Thursday. there is a parking lot with lots of parking, but beware of the tight spots. all in all this is one of my new favorite spots, and I will be back here again to try all the good food because as I saw people's orders, I could not help and think I need to try that.

    What a wonderful experience. The owners were really friendly and we had an amazing service. The…read morechef seems passionate about the food he prepares and love that he guides us through each course with the history of the food. It was also fun to watch him prepare the omakase to the rhythm of the music. I enjoyed the relaxing and intimate ambiance. I believe the chef orders the fish from Japan and you can really taste the difference in quality. The fish and seafood was fresh and did not have much of a fishy smell. As someone who likes to load a lot on my sushi and especially with the sauces, I really appreciated the simplicity and authenticity of this omakase. There is just a touch of balanced seasoning and it allows you to really enjoy and taste the natural taste of the sea. The fish itself even without a ton of seasoning already has a nice flavour to it but the chef prepared the fish in different ways and techniques which elevated the dishes. I especially loved the charcoal fragrance and the yuzu zest that he used. It was one of the freshest and best quality fish that I've had in LA. My favourite here were the bluefin toro, yuzu scallop, clam, tamago, seaweed salad, miso soup and anago which is traditionally valued in Japan and different from unagi which you will find in America. I also love that the chef uses fish broth in his miso soup which heightened the flavours and richness of the soup; probably became my favourite miso soup in LA. I'm not usually an uni person but wow, this uni was so fresh, the creamiest, sweetest and tastiest uni I've had so far. I also got the coffee jelly which was refreshing and yummy. Definitely worth a visit.

Chef is a great storyteller - he explains origin of fish and guides you what to look for. He is also creative of using simple ingredients and makes unique appetizers and sushi. There are too many places in LA just keep layering up flavors on sushi or rolls so you taste everything else but the key ingredient - fish. Those places emphasize too much on the look vs quality of food. Service is attentive and impeccable. We really enjoy our food and time there and grateful that they are able to accommodate a party of 3 for us.
