Good Sushi

by TacoTime at Citysearch

Being new to LA and loving sushi, my friend said that I needed to try. We waited in line outside of the restaurant for about 15 min before we were able to get a table. The menu is pretty simple and I thought the sushi was very good. The rice had a nice flavor and I could tell that they've been in business a long time. They seemed to know what they were doing, I love places like this. The kitchen menu looked good and will have to comeback again.

• Pros: sushi
• Cons: parking, cash only

best sushi, and awesome service too!

by ninjiujitsu1 at Citysearch

i dont know what all these people are complaining about service for. if you come once and throw a fit about 3 people on a 2 person table, you need to go to california pizza kitchen or something because your a panzy. i sit with 3 people at a 2 person table all the time, and ive never had a problem. tables have 4 sides. dont be retarded.

the sushi here is the best in la period.

• Pros: food, area
• Cons: nothing

Really - no service and an ignorant attitude? damn and the reviews said otherwise...

by BennyBasics at Citysearch

"Eaten here before and have had a great time, fish wass fresh and the service was on point.

Cue tonight.

Wow, ridiculously ineffective sushi chefs (2 were in front of us rolling sushi like is a a slow motion sport - while also forgetting orders and not being attentive to our party of 2 or the party of 2 to the right of us) and atrocious wait staff.

Our server wouldn't look us in the eyes at all nor would she address us directly - a request to opt for Sushi Rice in a bowl rather than regular steamed rice was shot down with a resounding NO. Now I'm not that fragile of an individual and a simple "I'm sorry but no" would have been fine - but the barking wasn't exactly making the meal any more fun on top of the existing service.

Chalk that up along with continued lapses of service (at this point we'll call that their par for the course) and we left with the most meager of tips, and on second thought, event a dollar would have been too much of a tip.

The recap -

Horrible service, you want fresh fish and great service - Sakura on Centinela is ridiculous and you'll love it, or Kaya on Washington for innovative rolls with incredible taste and A+ service."

• Pros: When it's on, it's on.
• Cons: It's rarely on. Service will make you want to off yourself, and the wait staff.

AWFUL SERVICE

by hungryinla1234 at Citysearch

i have NEVER been so angry leaving any establishment.

terrible atmosphere, terrible service. i couldn't figure out why the sushi chef and waitress were being so rude. i love good food and especially good sushi, so i'm willing to spend my hard-earned money on it, but i couldn't handle it in there. i spent $10 at hide not because it's cheap, but because i couldn't stand that place for another second and would rather eat leftovers at home.

my boyfriend and i will never go back.

• Pros: neighborhood
• Cons: service, food, atmosphere.

A Sawtelle Landmark

by ieatz at Citysearch

I love this place! On one hand the lines are long and they only take cash. On the other hand, my family has been coming here for years, I mean YEARS and the food is the same as it was years ago. They don't try to have everything on the sushi menu like other places or be too fancy that you'll wait forever. They get you in, fed with good food, and then get you out. They have a lot of regular customers, as we see each other in line.

• Pros: The food is the same as it was years ago
• Cons: long lines, cash only, parking

So good!

by JanieDee at Citysearch

Hide has such good sushi at such an affordable price! This place is awesome to go to after work with friends. It's small and the line is always long but worth the wait. Try to come before 7pm to beat the crowd. This is totally a once-a-week restaurant that everyone can enjoy.

• Pros: Great sushi
• Cons: Long lines

Great value.

by reddesk at Citysearch

Decent sushi at good prices and good service. There is always a wait. but it's worth it. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but NBD.

• Pros: Food, value
• Cons: wait, parking

Good food, but cramped

by foodie114 at Citysearch

The sushi is good and I like that they offer the basics including tempura and teriyaki. The only problem is that there isn't much seating and I can't help feeling a bit cramped when I'm there. But, even if there is a wait, it usually isn't a long one. Also, they only take cash!

• Pros: Sushi/food, well priced
• Cons: Not enough seating
