Highly recommend this hidden gem. It offers excellent customer service on par with high end restaurants in addition to good quality sushi. Prices are reasonable. Parking is plentiful on the street.

Great place, Amazing food. The ambiance is good not great. This place could be a fine dining experience but it is more of every day great sushi place m. One the best dish quality I have had in Los Angeles. The food is very simple but it’s extremely delicious. This a very difficult task to achieve. No unnecessary flavoring trying hard to make the food taste better. The service was very good, very fast. I love ginger and I hate that I have to continually ask for more. They kept my ginger plate full the whole time. I only wish they would take reservations as hate waiting for my table. I will be returning with my wife and friends for more. The albacore and yellowtail were to die for, Amazing.Over all rating 4.55 for sushi / fish5 for service4 for ambiance3 for not taking reservations

One of my favorite sushi spots in all of L.A.Incredibly friendly service, fresh fish and a minimalistic yet comfortable environment. Tables are spaced out pretty nicely, they dont pack you in like sardines.Basic menu, kind of in a Sugar Fish stlye, but much better and superior service. Thank you Uzumaki!

This review is specifically for a server named Sam. Unfortunately he was extremely rude to our table when he initially served me and my friend our drinks. When my friend asked him a question he stuck his face a few inches in between me and my friend for a good 10 seconds with a ton of attitude and dismissed our question and walked away. It was very creepy and the entire dinner after that was extremely uncomfortable. The uni we ordered didn’t not all taste entirely fresh as there was a bad taste on the bottom. The rest of the sushi was good but for the price there are much better places nearby.

Our group ordered an assortment of items and shared. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The dishes coming from the kitchen were beautifully presented and everyone was very satisfied. We were seated immediately, however, when we were finished, the place had filled and there were folks waiting to be seated. Service was excellent! Cant wait to go back.

Good sushi restaurant but could be a lot better. I’d give it a 3.5 rating but Google does not let you give half stars.Wait time was around 35 minutes before we got a table. It was really cold in the waiting area even with the heaters (they didn’t let us wait inside). There was only one party ahead of us, but it still took a long time to get seated.Once we were inside, we could tell the staff very busy. Servers were walking back and forth pretty fast while also fulfilling tons of online orders. They were very friendly, but we could tell it was hectic.Most of the food was good quality and had good flavor. We ordered the crispy rice with tuna, the vegetable tempura, the scallop cut roll, the lobster/scallop hand roll and two combos. The salmon nigiri tasted a bit too fishy and had the most wasabi out of all the rolls. The rest of the sushi was good, but nothing that really caught my attention, especially for the price.Overall I enjoyed most of the sushi, but I won’t be coming back at peak hours because I would not want to wait as long again. I was also disappointed with the quality of the salmon because I was expecting a lot better quality for the prices.

This place is great. Excellent service, even when the place was super busy. The food was delicious. Like many sushi places.. I wish it was cheaper! Id eat there way more often if so.Their raw fish was super good.

Delicious sushi. I enjoyed the karaage, the unagi nigiri, and my dining partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Uzumaki Plus,’ which included 8 pieces of nigiri + ceviche + a choice of either spicy tuna or crunchy shrimp roll (spicy tuna was better).The Asahi draft, Kiusui sake, and small bottle of Yamakatsu sake all hit the spot and completed our meal. Was well over $200 but money well spent here!

2 stars because the staff is really nice and welcoming, the place is great but the fish is not good. I ordered sashimi and the pieces of salmon were very chewy. The albacore one was more buttery but very thick which is great in a way because you get what you pay for but thin slices would have been better.

Excellent Japanese restaurant. The parking structure is behind the building, leading to bathroom foyer. They serve Hamachi Kama.
