The Brothers Sushi Culver City

I finally had a chance to come here with friends and it was totally worth the money! Lunch ends at 2pm on weekdays and we arrived around 1245 on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch. It was not crowded at all and we were seating right away.They have pretty great lunch specials - I ordered the sashimi lunch special that came with at least 15 pieces of fresh fish/octopus, a bowl of rice, miso soup and salad for $30. My friends each got the sushi and roll lunch special that came with 5 pieces of assorted nigiri and either spicy tuna roll or shrimp tempura roll. We also ordered the shishito peppers and salmon rices cakes to share. Everything was delicious, fresh and came out very timely. We were all full and satisfied with our meals. Would definitely recommend this place for lunch, seems a bit pricier for dinner but the sushi tastes really fresh and they have the sushi chefs at the counter making everything to order. We walked from my place but there are multiple parking garages nearby, notably the one that takes you to traders joes is the closest since it's right next door.

We were really excited to celebrate Valentine's Day with omakase here after hearing great things about this place. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most frustrating and disappointing dining experiences we've had.First, the $160 per person omakase--advertised as their standard offering--was not available. My husband even called ahead to confirm we didn't need to make a special request, and we were told we'd be fine. When we arrived, however, the only option was a "Valentine's Day Special" for $210 per person, which was essentially the same thing: three appetizers, 10 pieces of nigiri, a hand roll, and dessert. The fact that we made an effort to confirm and still got blindsided at the table was incredibly frustrating.Second, and far worse--the service was shockingly slow. We received our appetizers about 15 minutes after being seated, and then... nothing. We sat there waiting for an hour and a half before our sushi finally arrived. We had to repeatedly flag down the staff, and while our server was apologetic, it was clear the kitchen was completely overwhelmed. This wasn't a leisurely experience--it was a painfully long, disorganized wait that completely ruined our Valentine's Day dinner.For a restaurant charging over $400 for two people, the service and experience were nowhere near acceptable. We wanted a special night and instead got a long, frustrating wait and a bait-and-switch on pricing. Really disappointed that we splurged for what turned out to be an incredibly underwhelming and stressful meal.Would absolutely not recommend this place for a special occasion.

The brothers Sushi is Japanese style with many options Riho was so helpful with explaining the menu. Very nice restaurant.Check out the sashimi's!! Dry Aged Toro , Albacore crispy onions, Gentani Seafood Ceviche were perfect

This place was delish! A few things to know though, the GPS took us all different weird ways so I recommend parking in the Trader Joe's parking lot and then when you come out onto the street, go the opposite way of where you are thinking (lol!). It's actually east of the parking lot and away from the center of the main part of Culver City.Now onto the food! Thanks to a recent Yelp event, my new friends there told me to go for the dry age items here. I didn't even realize dry age sushi was a thing but omg it's so good! We had the dry aged tuna sampler platter which was just amazing! We also had the spicy tuna on crispy rice along with the yellowtail carpaccio and their mushroom salad. All of it was just so tasty and flavorful!(Quick side note -- We found a short hair in the very expensive salad which I'm sure was just a random occurrence. It would have been nice to have been partially compensated for it because it def made me stop eating it but whatever -- the great service and other dishes made up for it!)I agree with the other yelp reviews on here that it is quite pricey so I won't be going back too often but I wouldn't be against someone suggesting we go in the future!

Came for the lunch omakase ($95), and it was fabulous!! First time trying an omakase though, but was still wowed at the freshness and depth of flavors. Impeccable service, although I wished the server was a bit clearer about explaining each piece. She also said the Japanese name, so maybe there was a little language barrier. A very comfortable place, and I would love to come back in the future!

So I eat a lot of high end omakase and sushi. I enjoy sitting at the chef's counter, conversing with the chef and also partaking in a sake pairing or tasting.Brothers sushi does not have this kind of service format or the best sushi in town (due to cooking technique) but it overall has good quality ingredients and a good selection of authentic Japanese dishes. It is very good value for the price point and accessible in a pinch.I loved that they had a fresh daily special menu that features hard to find fish like nodoguro, golden eye snapper, and Sakura trout! I'm very impressed the restaurant took the care to import these more exotic ingredients usually only found in those exclusive omakase places. The prices were also not bad for them.The sake menu is also solid, with some of my favorite sakes! I got their Ohmine Sake sampler, seriously the best value tasting I have found in LA so far.Usually other places serve crappy low grade sake for the same price or they charge $25-30 for one glass. Here they poured 3 glasses! I admit my expectations are high due to being spoiled. My fish was not at the right temperature, not cut super meticulously. The rice was not the right texture, and the rice to fish ratio was not right, but the ingredients are fresh and solid.The price was only $200 for tons of food!! I tried a little of all the specials. It was also easy to get a seat! Service was also very attentive they were very fast, brought plates and removed them quickly.For the price point and the convenience, with a step up in offerings compared to Sugar Fish, this is a solid mid to upper tier, semi casual sushi restaurant. You cannot compare this to the likes of a 12 seater restaurant named after the dedicated sushi chefs that run them, like Kaneyoshi, Nozawa Bar, or Morihiro. It is more a higher end mass produced sushi place but you have to book those sushi omakase counters like a month in advance. This restaurant has some nice exotic fish and sakes without the need to plan ahead or fight for reservations.

went for Lunch with a friend, food was good. Staff was not so attentive but nice. parking in structure was easy to park and find the restaurant. I liked crunchy shrimp roll and white fish with salt on it :)

Decided to come to their Culver City location. I could probably eat sushi everyday if I could, and this place didn't disappoint. For $85, this lunch omakase (minus Japanese uni, it's an add on) was really good. All their fish are fresh and delicious. Their toro was dry aged and delicious, which adds that extra touch of umami. You get 10 pieces nigiri, a custom handroll, and appetizers (miso soup, salad and ceviche). We added on the Japanese uni (since it wasn't in the omakase, and I love uni)Their staff is friendly and attentive. The place is nice and clean.

After hearing about Brothers in the valley for years, I was super excited to hear they were opening a location in Culver City. Our first time on a weekend in December 2023, we were able to walk in and sit at the sushi bar and ordered the $140 omakase. Kenji served us fresh delicious fish and the uni chawamushi was amazing, definitely recommend order it off the a la carte menu!Second time we visited in March 2024 for yakitori, which smelled delicious as Yakitoriguy cooked up a storm outside. As this is a review of Brothers Sushi, we also ordered the Tuna sampler which was a great way to try compare different cuts, as well as seared and marinated. The Donabe chowder was creamy and the shrimp fresh, we liked the extra soup came in a kettle. The Seafood cerviche was also interesting to see on a Japanese menu, and we found it to be perfect, not too sour and with multiple pieces of fish, shrimp (meh), octopus, and scallop (fav), balanced with pieces of onion and tomatoes. All in all, always great sushi at Brothers!Parking is 2 hours free with validation in the city parking garage.

Absolutely phenomenal evening at Brothers Sushi! The fish here is top notch - but the seared fatty tuna nigiri should not be missed. Can't wait to come back!
