The food was alright. The stir-fry udon was extremely sweet. The service was good and fast. There was no wait on a Saturday night. There is plenty of free parking.

BEST SUSHI I HAVE EVER HAD! Went for lunch and am making a reservation for dinner tomorrow. If anyone wants some good high quality Sushi, this is the place to go. The service is amazing and you get big portions for not a lot of money. I am 14 and if I could rank this 1/100 it wouldnt even be on the list, it would be higher than 100....by a LOT! The chefs food is AMAZING! Their fish is to die for!

Clean, soft music, great staff, chill vibes. Slightly pricey, but youre definitely getting the bang for your buck. Food quality is phenomenal. 10/10!

I love this place, I feel like family here, they have good food and good service. I am always taken care of and provided the best service. I make it a point to come here after every chiropractic appointment and take a spot at the counter and have enjoyed every meal I have had here so far. Planning to try out the whole menus, from the sushi to the cooked mean lunch bowls, all have tastes good and fresh and you can tell it’s quality ingredients. Will continue to come here for lunch for as long as I can.

Me and my partner actually wanted to order something from the menu, but the waiter intervened 3 times and urgently recommends the chefs daily pick - a selection of a total of 8 sushi per person put together by the chef.We were practically urged to order the Daily Pick. Unfortunately we forgot to ask what these 8 pieces of sushi cost per person. When the bill came we were really shocked. We were charged $140.00 for this. Outright usury. We insisted on a price reduction, but we were only threatened. We then asked the boss, but she didnt listen to our concerns either.So thats how we paid. Something like that has never even come close to happening to us in our whole life and then the sushi was only mediocre.So dear people: definitely dont eat there, only when you like to get ripped off.

This place was great and it makes me sad that I dont live in LA. Some of the best sushi Ive ever had. Service was great and attentive.

Super romantic patio setting just for us...seriously no one else there at 5pm sharp loved it..food was light healthy and delicious Tuna 🍣 salad..crunchy asparagus and garlic mushrooms...Lobster rolls were amazing and edamame beans love that you can enjoy a lengthy conversation while popping those pods. Honey Ginger tea was perfect since it gets a bit cold after 5pm but heat lamps will help keep you cozy and warm..COVID safety regulations in place and now seating is available indoors limited but available if you wish.

The Location is a bit tricky but this place is fantastic.I was early to go to the airport so I stopped by for a bite and I was very pleased with every roll they brought out.The Mochi ice cream also was great.The staff was very friendly.The miso soup bowls are a bit slippery. We dropped one and the staff brought another one out immediately and cleaned up the mess. 5 stars.I’d def come back before my trips.

The California roll didnt taste nor look anything like a California roll. The Denny roll wasnt bad. The prices were high in my opinion especially for quality.

2023-03-11 21:45:12

Mixed review. The atmosphere was nice. The food was good. Unfortunately the server forgot to put in one order and had to be reminded. So one dish arrived after the rest of the party had finished. Plus the server didnt seem very apologetic for the mistake.

First time here for lunch. They have patio seating in front and to the side. Ordered the bento box with teriyaki salmon. It came with 4 pcs of tempura, 3 California roll, 3 pcs nigiri (tuna, salmon, whitefish), salad and cucumber. Everything was fresh and quite delicious. Miso soup was served before the bento box came out. Will definitely be back to try the sushi rolls.

Great sushi!!! Found it a bit too pricey. My husband and I ordered 3 rolls, 10 pieces of sashimi, a glass of wine and a beer, total came to $175. 00. My favorite dish was the popcorn lobster roll.Staff were friendly, restaurant was clean.

Good sushi.. they are very much into presentation here. Lunch time, takes forever to get your order. Spicy tuna hand roll is $8 for a roll. Recommend if youre in the area.

I’ve been traveling, and I was staying at a hotel a block over so I ordered takeout from here. It was AMAZING! Everything is so thoughtfully packaged and tastes delicious. The vegetable gyoza are top notch!!

Review №23

$18 for a rainbow roll. I figured Id order because it because I assumed it will be a delicious rainbow roll for $18. However the roll was average. Their prices are too high for the quality food they serve.

The Bul Go Gi Entree (Beef) was so completely over cooked the beef was leather.Sent it back, asked to have it removed from the bill. They choose to offer the same dish prepared again, I declined. They choose to NOT remove it from the bill but substitute something else. I declined. Payed full bill that included returned food due to the combative manager.Go at your own risk.

I stopped here on our vacation and had a really weird experience. Our son had been loud upon arrival but settled down once he started eating. The server told us if he didn’t quite down we would need to leave. I understand loud environments. Patrons can get drunk and loud. Not a kid friendly place but an amazing staff! Terrible management!

Review №27

2022-11-14 22:39:09

I’ve been here a few times, it was really good before. The service and quality of the food has deteriorated. I ordered food for pickup and while I waited 15-20 minutes for my order, which was ready because I can see the bag with my name on it.I asked the waiter if I can get my order and with an attitude he said wait. I waited another 15 minutes for food that has been on the counter, as he wiped down tables.The waiter has a horrible attitude.

Best ramen I have ever had & I have had ramen for 45 years including stationed in Japan! Spicy Pork Ramen everytime.

We went here for sushi. They have a lot of different menu items. But their sushi just wasn’t it. We got California roll, and a baked lobster roll. The two rolls were exactly the same expect they threw some dried lobster and imitation crab on top of the other and called it a “baked lobster roll.” Def would skip this place if you’re specifically looking for sushi. Wasn’t impressed.

Kaya Sushi was amazing. Services, beautiful place, clean and we didnt have to wait long. We were on our way to a concert in Inglewood and we couldnt find anything around there. We found Kaya Sushi and decided to go in. Cant wait to come back. Prices are fair for great food. Highly recommended

Went there for the first time last week. I had wanted to go for a long time but with the COVID restrictions I passed it by. I went with a Korean friend of mine who is very well versed on Korean food, sushi, sashimi, and ramen. Bottom line: we both loved it! Great food and very generous portions. I highly recommend it.

One of the better sushi spots Ive been to. A good quick stop on the way to the airport. Ive been twice in the last week and Ive been back and forth from the east coast. The Tuna and Salmon Sashimi was delicious as well as the waiter recommendation (something sesame) roll. Ill stop there every time Im out here.

Review №44

2018-10-08 01:27:04

This is a common lunch stop for me and my co-workers, the sushi is great here, very fresh albeit at a little pricey. The service that youll get here is kind of Hit or Miss depending on which person you get though. Totally worth checking out especially if you are just going to order something to go.

Review №49

2019-09-15 00:36:16

Interesting location for a sushi restaurant, but they have been in business for quite some time so it must be working. Bento box for lunch is a great option. Service was great. A bit pricey for lunch, but it was good so worth it once in a while.

Good stuff! Theyre sushi options are great along with their bento boxes. The ramen is an option, but there is better ramen at a lot of other places. This is a sushi restaurant though so it makes sense that its not their strength. The sushi is what you want to get though

Review №56

2018-08-04 02:34:20

The number of rolls per serving is less than half that of other Japanese restaurants in the U.S. (6 pieces of rolls about 3-4 cm in diameter cost more than $15).But it doesnt taste that great either.Not recommended for eating a roll as a snack while having a drink in the evening.

The signboard said Gaya Restaurant in Korean, so I went there to eat Korean food, but there was more Japanese food and less Korean food.
