Best food in town

Best food in town

Food is amazing. Every time I come here, I feel like I never want to leave. Very chic atmosphere with a relaxing mood.

The service is great and the staff really does a terrific job at taking care of you.

The appetizers are delicious.

Theres plenty of places to park: theres a parking lot across the street and a parkin garage up the street within walking distance.

Most of the time I find myself looking at my watch waiting for the food to come, but here I was so entertained with the fun atmosphere that I was pleasantly surprised when my food arrived

Sushi on the Boulavard!

by Honest Abe 24 at Citysearch

I love this place, I drive there all the time from Sherman Oaks to get my fill. The Sushi is always fresh, they change their oil daily so their tempura is made to order and clean and light. And I love the seared blackened tuna, it is always a hit! Keep up the good food guys!

  • Pros: Have their own parking lot

Great sushi and excellent service

by MSTDB at Citysearch

This is a family owned sushi restaurant, with traditional Japanese sushi rolls and a mix of fusion/new sushi rolls (like their Superstar Roll, Studio City Roll) so you get a variety of selections to satisfy your sushi craving. They have good prices(unlike some of the other places on the block), excellent service, and one of the best / original tasting sushi in LA.

  • Pros: Special rolls, Good prices, excellent service
  • Cons: parking - if it is on a crowded night

TASTELESS and EXPENSIVE

by Guinivere at Citysearch

I was very excited to try this highly recommended restaurant. I was deeply disappointed when my rolls were tasteless. To make them edible, I asked for spicy mayo and eel sauce which did NOT help. Then, they had the nerve to charge me for the sauces. Terrible! Very disappointed!

  • Pros: Very disappointing!
  • Cons: Charged for a side of sauce!!!

Really great dining experience!

by VioletVince at Citysearch

MATSUDA! This restaurant has had the same owner for a decade. The food is truly fantastic, the flavors and special recipes are my favorite. I recommend the Fried onion Albacore Sashimi, Tuna tartar, Citrus Halibut Carpaccio, Spicy Tuna Biscuit, Studio City Roll, Superstar Roll. Chef's special is 3 pieces of sushi a la carte, chosen from the catch of the day. Fresh. The wait staff is very attentive too.

Try everything from the specials.
