Excellent food, Wonderful experience

by JennericB

A group of us went to Iroha Sushi last night and experienced nothing short of excellent food and service. Every selection that we ordered was delicious and the fish that was used was extremely fresh. I highly recommend asking your server or chef for recommendations as we did. Their menu offers a variety of special dishes that are not typical of a "typical" sushi restaurant, but are absolutely delicious. One dish we ordered, I can't remember the name, combines a crab and shrimp salad sitting on little pieces of toast, topped with sliced jalape?os. Who would have thought this could be so good? Needless to say, we were not disappointed with anything we ordered. I also highly recommend calling ahead for a reservation as this is a small place that fills quickly. I called earlier the same day we went and had no problem getting a reservation at my desired time. We were seated promptly and the service was great. Be sure and try some tempura ice cream for dessert if you're able to save room.

• Pros: Menu Selection, Service, Quality of Food
• Cons: Nothing

Best Sushi in SoCal

by esheld01

Forget Katsuya, overpriced corporate sushi, this place is the real deal. The Sushi chefs here are experts and so attentive. Jose cuts paper thin sashimi that is simply AMAZING. Even the waiters remember my boss and I's favorite sake and bring us out a bottle before we've even sat down. This place is the BEST, and the chef recommend's are melt in your mouth amazing. Make sure you try the albacore with crispy onion, and the special #3 with the cucumber wrap. If you like REAL sushi, you cannot not try Iroha.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

This place is a JOKE

by spencertracy

The atmosphere is awsome - super cute BUT super decieving. When we got there they told us the wait would be 15 minutes. FINALLY after over an hour had passed we got 2 seats at the bar, only to realize that none of the chefs were Japanese. THIS IS NOT REAL SUSHI. It takes 7 to 10 years to become a Sushi Chef, not a quick course in cutting raw fish. This place is a waste of time and money, stick to Katsuya down the street.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Food, Service, Everything Else

Best Sushi in the area

by tysontysonxv

I have been all over the Studio City area looking for my favorite Sushi place, and Iroha has been a constant delight. I stumbled on this place once after a long day. This was the only Sushi restaurant in the area that was open, and it could not have been more of a treat. The sushi has been consistently fresh and delicious, the prices are very reasonable, the hours are convenient, and the atmosphere is fabulous. Early in the evening, there tend to be a handful of families with younger children, but later, it becomes quieter and more intimate, especially on the patio.

• Pros: Food, ambience
• Cons: Can get a little noisy if there are a lot of children

Sublime Sushi

by jimmyray

This place never fails to serve up succulent, mouth-watering sushi from the freshest fish. Everything we've tried on the menu is supurb and tasty and expertly prepared. The specials wrapped in cucumber are excellent. Some reviewers bashed on the service -- you don't go here for the service, you go for the quality of the food which is exceptional for a moderate price. Some of the best sushi on either side of the Mulholland.

• Pros: food, ambiance
• Cons: sometimes hurried or inattentive service

good food - BAD service

by mskari

I hesitated to rate this place average.....went there in the middle of the week - made a reso - seated us on time. The waiter was HORRIBLE - totally inattentive, brought the edamame AFTER the appetizer and first roll. Totally forgot about the eel sauce and the mayo. Then, to make matters worse, (1) he forgot about the second roll we ordered, and (2) he never bothered to come back and check on us. No drink refills, nothing. The food was good though - really fresh sushi, yummy and tasty. If you don't care about service, this place is great...but barely anyone speaks english and they really don't care if you are enjoying your meal.

• Pros: yummy fresh tasty food
• Cons: horrible service, rude staff, no english speakers.

BEST SUSHI IN TOWN

by roselovebb

this is one of the best sushi restaurants in town. They have a great selection of sushi and their specials are great. You have to try the asparagus !!! The set up is really cut and the servers are always friendly. They don't close for lunch and you'll walk out with a smile on your face.

Great for a large party or just an intimate evening. We will be coming back very soon.

• Pros: variey, fresh, clean
• Cons: parking

BAD EXPERIENCE

by saradee

I found this place on this site and decided to go there based on the reviews. I have no idea what you people are talking about? I arrived there and sat at the bar only to see that the fish was not wrapped in plastic and even worse that different types fish were slapped on top of one another. This is unhealthy and ruins the flavor of the fish. I was ready to leave right then and there but was very hungry and decided to give the place a chance since it got so many good review. The fish was mediocre at best and the rice was horrible. I love sushi and have been lucky enough to have some of the best. That place was nowhere close to that. I am amazed it got such a good rating. On top of everything they charged me 4 dollars for a tea. Unbelievable!

• Pros: nice setting
• Cons: horrible rice, so so sushi, not worth the money
