We finally tried a sushi spot I've heard great things about on New Year's Eve. The fish was very fresh and good quality, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The menu has a fusion style, which will probably appeal to a lot of people, but I personally prefer more traditional Japanese cuisine. The prices are reasonable--not the most expensive, but not the cheapest either. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'd come back, but it's not at the top of my list. The service was really great, we were grateful for the staff working on New Year's Eve and they had a great attitude about it. *It looks like they can accommodate parties for up to 8 people for anyone with a big group.

I visited primarily to try their truffle pasta, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations and did not justify the steep price. At $95, it was significantly overpriced for such a bland dish. Additionally, I had some difficulty locating it on the menu, but after confirming with the server that it was available, I placed my order. However, I later learned that the dish comes in two sizes, with the smaller portion priced around $60, which I only discovered after reaching out to the restaurant the following day. I recommend being mindful of the pricing before dining here. While the location is certainly appealing, it seems unreasonable to charge such a premium for a bowl of pasta, especially when I've enjoyed better truffle pasta at prime locations for a fraction of the price.Their other items were equally underwhelming. Will definitely not be returning.

This spot is nestled at the top of the Santa Monica Mountains. It's a small space, so don't forget to make a reservation--this place is buzzing with activity, and for good reason.The menu is extensive, offering everything from the basics to specialty rolls. What truly sets this spot apart is the quality of even the simplest items. A basic salmon or tuna roll? Absolute perfection. It's the kind of sushi where the freshness and care in preparation really shine.That said, the standout for us was the spicy albacore roll--a perfect blend of flavor and texture that we couldn't stop raving about. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just starting your sushi journey, this cozy mountain hideaway will leave you impressed and eager to return.

Hands down one of the best sushi spots in LA! Service is impeccable--just the right amount of attention and responsiveness. The place is packed and noisy so don't go here if you're looking for a quiet night out! You can thank me later.

Ate here tonight. Gf used to eat here a lot a few years back and raved about it. In short, Really not good at all. No taste to anything. Everything just kinda taste like mushy nothing. Salmon sushi, baked crab rolls, seared albacore sashimi and the 2 rolls all tasted the same....like nothing. Really no other way to explain it. Unfortunately very forgettable.

Been a customer with my family here for years. A review is long overdue. I've introduced many friends and colleagues to this location and I will continue to recommend it as one of the best sushi spots in LA. It truly is a great spot with fish that is always fresh and service that is great with a friendly staff. I can never get sick of this place and love doing date night here with my wife. I highly recommend their sashimis and truffle pasta.
