Had an awesome time at Krudos Sushi! Loved the vibe there with some really good tunes playing all night. Theyve got a tempting drink menu, but I had to skip since I was already buzzing from a concert earlier. Cant wait to try their drinks next time. Service? Super quick and on point. The food was tasty from what I remember. Got a pic of the calamari, and trust me, those sushi rolls were a hit! Definitely coming back.

Julio greeted us immediately and came with iced waters after were were seated. He made solid recommendations and we ordered tacos de asada, side of brocolini and tuna/salmon sashimi sampler. He customized the sampler for my preference.The restaurant got a bit busy and we ended up asking another attendant to grab our bill. Save your money, not worth the hype. Food is decent, but overpriced in my opinion.

Looking for an upscale Japanese and Mexican fusion? Check this place out!! First timer and I absolutely loved it! The manager gave us a very warm welcoming & excellent service. His recommendations were on point! Everything from the shrimp tacos, 911 roll & truffle fries to the dessert options was incredible! Their menu offers lots of variety & has excellent seafood options as well! Definitely coming back! 5/5 customer service5/5 ambiance5/5 on food 😊

For appetizer i had the pork dumplings. Had the dragon, California, and scallop rolls. Scallop roll is just California roll with some warm scallops on top. The sushi was acceptable, but forgettable. Desert sushi was the highlight of the meal. Wait for the indoor seating, alot of bugs outside. Soda was flat.The service was good but not great since the waiter was focusing on the bigger party. Ask for forks and staws otherwise you will get chopsticks.

Great food and great service! I especially loved the Crunch Roll... so delicious. The Pulpo Zarandeado was so good, too. I definitely recommend Krudos! High quality food.

Nice and roomy modern sushi restaurant with a Latin atmosphere and vibe. Polite servers and customer service. Unfortunately they fall short of perfect dishes. My party and I ordered Calamari and onion rings for our appetizers and Lobster Roll, Baked Scallops Rolls, Dodger Roll, and the 911 Roll. The calamari was very chewy and the breading seemed to be nothing but crumbs. The Scallops tasted previously frozen and microwaved along with a rubber taste just like the Lobster Roll. The Dodger Rolls sauce tasted very acidic and warm. For the price of the dish Id expect better quality. I will give them 10 stars for their Fried Ice cream dessert. The best Ive had so far.

It was ok food, but definitely not the best, Ive had. Maybe I was just expecting more because of all the hype. Service was a little slow, and our server forgot one of the items ordered. Overall it was just good.

Get the green chilaquiles. Do it for you and for me. Never really say explosion of flavor but damn does it hit your mouth. It wasn’t even mine I ordered the Eva rolls which were pretty solid but damn I wish I got a whole plate of the chilaquiles. It comes with carne asada that is so tender and juicy. We originally went to the place next door but we were starving and had to wait forty min and seeing the bad reviews made us turn to here which was no wait. Also the vibe is amazing, we saw the most unique fun birthday celebration. I wanna come back for my birthday. Ima cheapskate but I’m not even mad about the bill.

Food is a little pricier than other sushi, but it is worth it. I got the omg sushi, it was under the appetizers, it was so good. The table next to us had like chicken tenders in going to try that next time I come. Over all really good food, there was only 1 server. She was doing everything on her own and still keeping up. Only thing is, we got a roll that didnt say spicy mai on the menu, abs they drenched the will with it and my fatigue said it was too much. I guess if you dont like it just ask if its on the roll.

Man!! this place use to be good. Their prices are freaking outrages now and their food quality went down and they still ask for a tip. One Sushi sampler $22 dollars come on.

The atmosphere at Krudos was nice in the early afternoon, and I imagine gets better on weekends. The service was prompt and friendly, the food was very good and had a great presentation. Id like to mention that the music playing was at the right volume whre one can talk,not scream, as it is with other restaurants. It is sad, though, that you cant enjoy something nice without the high bill anymore. Id still come back, but not as often as Id like to.

Truffle Fries are a must ...This is a very good sushi spot in South El Monte. The sushi is fresh, and really tasty. The prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants but the Mexican twist is really unique. The agua frescas are expensive for the amount you get but the glassware and chamoy is a nice twist. The food is delicious, the service is good, just bring your wallet, youll need it.

The Carne Azada tasajo plate, is not even close on how should be ($$$); The dish lacks of flavor and combinations. Should stay in Sushi

The establishment wasnt even open yet and the owner gave me a bad taste of this spot. I was visiting a neighboring restaurant, upon walking out I heard the owner yelling at an old lady, whom was visiting the dentist, over a handicap parking spot. He was parked in the handicap UNLOADING things for his restaurant. He was very rude and mean to not only her but me as I was trying to explain to him that he was in the wrong. I would give zero stars if I could. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone being that the owner is very unreasonable and arrogant. Here is evidence, tell me that isnt handicap parking.....

Great service with a good vibe and atmosphere. Food is tasty and style of the way they serve the food on the plate is a plus. There are similar places to this place that charge a little less however the service keeps us eating there as well as the variety of rolls. I do miss the black rice rolls. The pulpo plate is 🔥

Food out of this world a whole different taste, the Mexican sushi, bone marrow tacos I dont care for meat myself but! When my mother ordered this and I got a woof of the aroma I had too try it. All I could say was wow!! From the tortillas to the salsa everything was flavorful and aromatic. Cant forget about the drinks yummy as well hit the spot on a hot sunny day. I believe this thre second location now. One note of caution parking is limited you might have to park in the street. Ps.> they also had my favorite fried ice cream 🍦 🍨 😋 I will update soon when I find the pics of the food. Until then trust me at give i try..

First time dining here after hearing many good things! The food was great quality and flavor. My table shared a variety of sushi rolls and entrees. Everyone seemed to love the selection. Everything was delicious! I will definitely go back and try the rest of the menu out.

I decided to give this place a second chase because my first experience wasnt that great. Only to be disappointed once again.. The service is horrible, our waitress has no customer service skills what so ever... Didnt bring any condiments for our sushi. And when she dropped the food off ran off before asking if we needed anything else. I had to get up to ask for condiments because she was too busy standing behind the bar sipping her drink and on her phone. Also there must be a shortage on napkins because we only got 1 napkin each.. When we asked for our check she dropped a hand held pos machine on the table and she said heres your check and walked away. Instead of providing customer and cashing me out her self. I definitely will not come here again. The food isnt that great sushi was hot and room temperature.. By far the worst sushi Ive ever had...

Great place to eat love the environment of this place. Love the sushi rolls here. Customer service is amazing always attentive to each customer which is a plus. There food always on point. Agua Chiles are really good and there lava roll is really good. They have a big selection of beers and they play good music. Great place to go on a date or go out with a few friends.

So lets me start by saying I really wanted to try this place. Was going to bring my husband sushi to work, but Ill pick something reliable and probably less expensive at that.Their ordering system online has no problem taking your money, but the restaurant itself will then reject the order. It doesnt make sense to me why they have online ordering available in the first place.Clearly their business practices are not the best.

Prices have gone up. Got charged automatic gratuity for party of 6. There were 5 of us 🤷🏽‍♂️ they would’ve got a bigger tip if they hadn’t added it automatically. $6 for a agua fresca?!Walked out feeling some type of way. 🤷🏽‍♂️Service was ok. Fried calamari was bomb. Agua chiles ceviche is amazing. I got a crunchy roll with peppered salmon on top with eel sauce that was delicious (off menu item). Truffle fries are delicious also.

Didn’t bring out our child order with other 3 plates. Even after asking twice, server finally brought it out. However, we had finished our dinner.Informed service this is una. Eptable and asked to speak to mgr. Mgr of duty said she is not a mgr and cannot make an adjustment or comp a dessert. Asked her to have the real mgr call me. No Cal ever received.Not a way to run a restaurant. Especially one claiming to be a Japanese restaurant.Poor rating.

Way over priced for smelly sushi. When fish smells it means its old. This was definitely old. Got eight pieces of sushi for $20. DO NOT GO THERE. Drive a few miles more and eat sushi where its fresh. Truly disappointed!

This place is a must stop. Great flavors with their rolls and tacos. This is one of the best fusion restaurants Ive been too. Not sure why there isnt more noise about this place.

Review №41

2022-04-15 04:46:59

The food is pricey..Very overated..Its not bad but its not the best sushi Ive ever had either..What probably makes it stand out is their staff and a fried shrimp platter with a green sauce that they have..But the sushi I can honestly say that you can go to Vons and get a better tasting sushi roll

Review №42

2022-01-18 23:43:56

The place has decent food but it isnt worth the price they charge. I mean, 15.99 for three small fried chicken tinga taquitos with no rice and beans on the side is way tax. They should add sides if they are gunna charge craft prices. . .

Review №44

2021-11-02 04:19:00

The rolls were GREAT, but the fish a little thin for the price.They were tasty and fresh.The thing that got me was not the bill, but the assumption of the server that I was going to give him a 20%tip. And I got a surprise sur charge, ask for explanation he kind of went around it. I paid the bill and gave him a cash tip. Maybe not what he was expecting. But hey he got one. I wont go back Ill stick with my Tokyo places in Dwntn LA cheers. He also charged 8 dlrs for a 6 dlr beer.Be careful.... they will sneak something in.

Disappointed with the shrimp ceviche. Way too much cucumber and no flavor. Needed salt and lime! Not worth the price ($20).

Review №48

2020-11-21 00:06:09

Yesterday was my first time at this place. I drive by often and thought it would be nice to help out during this pandemic by giving them business. I left this place so upset. I went to pick up my food order and I hear a female employee upset and trying to talk to one of the male employees. He just walked away and didnt let her speak. I dont know if this guy is the owner or manager but it makes me wonder if he treats all the employees that way. I work for a big company and was thinking of suggesting this place for our weekly luncheons but after what I saw today I will definitely not be coming back. If you believe in employee equality do not give this place your business.

What a unique spot! We ordered the ceviche mixto, Japanese sushi tacos, and Wagyu beef sushi roll. Everything was delectable. The ceviche was fresh, well seasoned, and had perfect texture. The sushi tacos combined the freshness of raw fish and the texture of a hard shell taco so well. And the most unique was certainly the Wagyu beef roll—what a delicious and inventive combination of flavors and textures! A great atmosphere too, with reggaetón bumping and ambient lighting.

The aguachile roll dish is very bad, it is neither roll nor aguachile, they give you pure cucumber with very little shrimp, for the price of the dish. In addition, the waitress made fun of the dish they gave me and the manager was told about the dish that what they offered was not really sushi and it ended up offending me. Very bad experience to be honest

The place was empty and yet the wait was 15 minutes and more than an hour for the food to be delivered.Although the food is good, it is a long wait.

A fraud here, from what they publish on Instagram to the options offered on the menu, a disappointment.
