Overrated

by gkellyla

I have to agree with another review I've read here. The sushi is outrageously expensive and, frankly, many of these rolls taste bland and the same. I've eaten here 3 times and my reaction has become progressively negative. The service (especially the host who seats you - they definitely want you to eat at the tiny sushi bar, as opposed to a table) is not very gracious either.

• Pros: Quiet room, fresh ingredients
• Cons: Service, parking, cost

Great fresh fish, nice ambience and service.

Decided to try this place out, sushi is very fresh, the toro was excellent, and so was the Japanese halibut. Prices are not bad, a little bit on the pricey side but not near the other high end places in LA

• Pros: Great fresh fish, great sushi chefs, quick and friendly service
• Cons: Slightly on the picey side, difficult to park in the area.

OVERPRICED, AVERAGE QUALITY SUSHI

by oldham79

My Dad took my wife and me to this restaurant on a Saturday night with an 8:45 reservation. They were very busy and couldn't seat us until 9pm. The service was pretty good after that except that the waitress kept trying to sell us on all the extras. For example rice on the outside of the roll costs more and there is additional charge for ginger. This on top of the fact that the very expensive sushi & rolls are not very good made the experience disappointing. The rolls were not prepared very well (very messy),the rice did not have a good texture, and many cuts of the fish were mushy. There are much better sushi restaurants in town that cost much less.

Try Kiriko, this is my favorite in Los Angeles so far. In San Luis Obispo try Tsurugi.
