2023-06-19 15:49:45Small restaurant with limited seating inside and outdoors. A bit pricey but the Bento Box has plenty of food. Salmon had great flavors. Sushi fresh. Salad crispy with tasty ginger dressing.

2022-09-12 05:07:36Not a fan of putting reviews but i felt ripped out here .1. Small sushi yellow tail 32$, over priced for a hole in the wall place .2. Trust me, Whole Foods sushi tastes more authentic and so much better than this place .3. Waitress had no patience to let me browse their menu instead recommended me the small portion of yellow tail sushi, 25$ plus tax and tip so 32$ in total, the sushi rice is the cheapest quality ! Hard and not sticky that separates from the seaweed.4. after i ate, i said “thank you “ to everyone and nobody bothered to respond.5. Very small place that the elbows of customers can rub with each other .So not worth it, go somewhere else with your money worth .

2023-11-11 20:52:56Went for dinner. Honestly disappointing, even though the place got a pretty good review. Just high price for ordinary sushi.Maybe its because of the location, but it was a shame since its called Tsukiji, an area in Japan famous for sushi.Service was average.I dont think Ill go back.

2023-06-16 02:29:09I would say one of the worst sushi spots I have been to. I was told the salmon I had was the belly. Yet it was not it was chewy and still have the skin of the fish. I was disappointed that the server, host, and owner did not take it off the bill as I didn’t eat it and explained why. The server and host said they would check in about it but never came back. So I then spoke with the manager and he lied saying it was the belly. I have eaten sushi before and know what part of the fish I was eating… overpriced not worth it. Super bummed!

2021-02-16 20:12:25Wonderful artistic Togo sushi box! Unexpected nice touch keep sushi uniform. Perfect for lunch in office or park bench. Rainbow roll highly recommended. I give this place 4.4 stars, will consider rating higher after trying more of the menu. Order ready exactly in 10 min as stated.

2021-12-10 19:57:28This is a well deserved 5-star! The staff attended us very quickly and some of the kindest staff that has ever attended me. Enjoying the meal outside late at night with your girlfriend and both of you just enjoying sushi and wine. The experience was wonderful and the wine options are quite great. Ive been to many sushi places but this one has by far been the one to most impress me. The food was to die for! Everything was perfect. Flavors were perfectly balanced. My taste buds just felt blessed. If you live in Santa Monica or passing by definitely stop by here! You wont regret it!

2019-07-31 00:36:08Came here with a friend after hiking in the Pacific Palisades at around 7pm on a Monday. There were a couple of other patrons but it was mostly empty. The staff didn’t greet us in Japanese although they did for other newcomers but they sat us quickly. The decor of the restaurant is upscale and pretty nice, although from the outside the restaurant is nondescript. There’s some outdoor seating, tables/booths inside, and seats at the sushi bar. We got edamame to share (5.99) and it was hot and sprinkled with salt, but nothing noteworthy. My friend got the bento box ($20.99)it’s pricier after 3pm and you can get 1 or 2 items as the primary entree (differing prices of course). She upgraded the avocado roll (a side item) to be her entree for an additional cost and also had a salad, some edamame, miso soup, and rice on the side. Our server seemed confused by the fact she wanted to upgrade her side entree to the main entree but checked in twice to make sure he got her order correct. I got the Hero roll, which was a baked sushi that was warm and slightly crunchy (13.99). There are non-sushi items for those who don’t like fish such as chicken teriyaki bowls and tempura udon. The specials are written on the chalk board behind the sushi bar. They provide a generous serving of wasabi and ginger, and the soy sauces are on the tables for you to utilize. I like that they use sustainable seafood. Parking on a weekday shouldn’t be too bad as there metered parking on the street and free parking in the neighborhoods behind. Service was alright, and they don’t check in on you but were prompt with getting the check. Overall the restaurant was fine, but if you’re craving some Japanese food in Santa Monica, I think Kazu Nori would make for a tastier experience, or you could go to Kimuya for more reasonable prices.
