Wonderful service and yummy food make Ajisai stand out from other Japanese restaurants in the area. It's a small space, but very accommodating if you don't have reservations. We ordered the gyoza appetizer, chicken teriyaki dinner and the sushi dinner, each coming with miso soup and house salad. The gyozas were lightly crisped and the accompanying sauce was yummy. The miso soup and house salad were both flavorful. The dressing on the salad was my favorite and the lettuce mix was fresh. The chicken teriyaki was cooked well and there were no pieces of cartilage in the chicken. The star of the meal was the sushi dinner. The fish was fresh and surprisingly the rolls were pretty big. read more

Glad this spot is still here! Best way to enjoy is to get a seat at the counter and order a mix of sushi and sashimi à la carte. The Ajisai Roll and Unagi Roll are my favorites. Good ratio of fish to rice! The seafood is good quality and the service is friendly and humble. We appreciate this little sushi bar in West Hollywood and will come back again! read more

Yum! I am so overdue for this review, but wanted to make sure I gave Ajisai their flowers! This is the place you will want to go to if you're looking for super unique and really rolls that will leave you so full and so satisfied afterward! It was slightly pricey, but I think it was worth it since not only the food was delicious, but the service hit as well! Food came out quickly and the staff was very friendly throughout our meal! I'd definitely make it a point to come back here again! read more

Ajisai provides a perfect dining experience to start the night in WeHo - the Benji roll is not to be missed and neither is their spicy tuna roll - this spot has a higher quality of sushi with fantastic prices and reminds me of our times in Tokyo. read more

This tiny unassuming place serves up some of the best sushi on the strip. The space is very intimate, not many tables, so service isn't overburdened. The fish quality is impressive, and the specialty rolls are executed deliciously. Big fan of Ajisai. read more

Super cute little gem. A friend recommended this spot and I finally tried it, and I'm so glad I did. All the nigiri I had was fresh and flavorful. Overall, a really solid meal and a great find. read more

Delicious sushi at decent prices! Enjoyed the Mr. Shoei and Mr. Clinton rolls. Compared to other sushi places, seems like there are less specialty roll selections but more sushi/sashimi options read more

My dear friend who is the mayor of Weho brought me here to celebrate her award for from StoneWall Honors 2024. I just fell in love with the service and the cuteness of this restaurant. The ambiance was cozy and had such a great vibe. Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious. The miso soup was delicious along with all the food down to the green tea ice cream. I will be back again and so glad she showed me this place! read more

I loved this restaurant! Very quaint and cozy inside and note that it's street parking only so depending on time of night you might need to use the lot right next door. Palm has a few meters but it's permit parking as you go north FYI. I've been presuing the multiple Japanese options along Santa Monica Blvd and I think this spot is my favorite. Prices were fair and service was a bit slow but with only 2 runners, I didn't mind at all because... Their Biscotti is THE best spicy tuna on rice I've had so far in LA. Huge portions of the tuna on a bed of their crispy rice. Must get! Dragon Roll was also great. They do not skimp on the spicy tuna and I adore them for that. Dynamite is a casserole looking dish and I LOVED it as a scallop person. It's basically a lot of scallop and mushrooms cooked in a cream cheese, can't get more decadent than that! Eager to try more of their dishes!!! read more

Super small and cute little restaurant- the staff is very kind and welcoming and give it a family style feel. The pork gyoza is a must and the veggies were tasty as well, we added a dash of soy to give it some additional flavor. The salmon was delicious and a perfect starter. The rolls were so fresh and and filling too- the selection is perfect, although I do wish there were a couple more specialty roll options. read more

I was really excited to try this place, it's walking distance away, and really cute! I wasn't overly impressed with the sushi or sashimi, I felt like it could be better. Not too thrilled by the Mr Trump roll, didn't like that the menu had a political slant, there were other presidents too, but, Trump?!? This is Weho and I don't live here to be reminded that Trump exists when I am eating Sushi. Otherwise, it was a good regular place, nothing special and quite pricey. No miso soup included as complimentary starter, which is pretty standard. Prices were kinda high, I get it...but, I thought $10 for garlic edamame was over the top. Probably won't return, there's other places that are better near by. read more

Amazing sushi. Always fresh and run by a husband and wife team that are amazing. They put their heart and soul into every roll and meal. They also have the best BBQ short rib. Highly recommend. read more

It's a friendly neighborhood sushi place in WeHo, not fancy just a small place with small outdoor seating and couple seats inside. The service is a little slow but good, I came at the busy time so it took a while for the food to arrive: The menu is quite affordable, and the fish is good quality and the pieces are big. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is good and interesting, never had it in any other sushi place. The sushi comes in two pieces per order and the fish cut is pretty generous, and each piece taste very fresh. The trump roll is delicious, highly recommended. read more

The hidden gem and secret of WeHo. Great food, great vibe, and Shoei and Jenny are the best.

Love this adorable, classic sushi restaurant. It's right on Palm across the street from Santa Palm Car Wash. Inside it feels a bit like Little Tokyo because it's very cozy and looks like an authentic Japanese sushi place with bamboo frames, yellow walls and some Japanese decorations. Nothing flashy here, and it's really charming. The rolls are fantastic. I love the names of the rolls... the Bill Clinton roll is my favorite. Great bottomless iced green tea. Be sure to make a reservation because they don't have many tables inside and they get booked up. Was lucky and just walked in today when it was not busy. My favorite seat is the table for two by the window. Great place for a date! There's metered parking on the street, or try the paid lot just to the west or one of the West Hollywood parking structures...one is a 5 minute walk east. read more

To my Yelp community, I feel compelled to share this treasure of a spot. I'm thrilled to have been shown this wondrous gem! I'm Pretty sure you can't go wrong w any options on this menu, but here are my recommendations; Let me know what you think! First of all - a must order... the grilled spicy shrimp roll- I was sceptical at first when my husband ordered this, but when it was brought to our table I shrieked w delight! of course I forgot to take a photos as I scoffed it down, but let me describe to you. Perfectly seasoned shrimp, tobiko, aioli mix... in a cut roll, each side perfectly crisp. The flavour was perfect followed by the crispy warm rice. The live scallop- served w yuzu kosho and yuzu juice, just perfect, then we were oh so thoughtfully served the scallop muscle sautéd w shiitake mushrooms in its shell. Such a thoughtful use of ingredients, well done chef! Overall incredibly fresh seafood done w care, thoughtfulness, passion, and craft! My friends- give this place a try! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I were on our way to our long time go to sushi spot in the same area one day. As we were strolling by we noticed this little hidden gem. With the quality of our other sushi spot going down we decided to bite the bullet and give this place a shot. We absolutely fell in love! The sushi chef Mr. Shoei and his wife Jenny are so sweet. The sushi is always flavorful and fresh. We were so confused as to why they're not as busy as they should be. Since then we've been making it a point to go at least twice a week. If we didn't have a little one we would be there weekly. This is now our new favorite go to sushi spot! We even took the little one not too long ago and she loved it! read more

It's true what they say about the most delicious food being served at 'hole in the wall' restaurants. Ajisai is no exception. I've been enjoying this sushi restaurant nearly every weekend since I moved to Los Angeles three years ago. Every dish is consistently fresh, whether it's sushi, sashimi, rolls, chicken or my favorites, Dynamite & Korean BBQ Ribs. The service is also consistent in being warm & welcoming, knowledgeable and best of all, quick & efficient. The ambiance? Cozy and somewhat loud with happy diners chatting or laughing. So stop on in and experience this West Hollywood Japanese local favorite for yourself. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

This is a small space so plan ahead. Parking is tight. Make sure you read the signs and feed the meter. The menu is nice. Limited rolls but the ones they have are good. Soups and salads are fresh and tasty. Service is very quick and they bring the food out just as fast. There seems to be a lot of repeat business as the sushi chef knows the customers by name. I received excellent service. I was here once before but years ago. I was happy with the food (we had table reservations) but I forgot to take photos as it came out. We were having such a nice time. Ugh -- side note. There were six of us. read more

Was super impressed by this location. The fish was so fresh, the owners are so nice, and the vibes are immaculate. So comfy and cozy. Would definitely make this a regular date night spot read more

This is the kind of cozy, off the beaten path sushi joint that feels like a secret. The vibe felt a lot like a tiny place on a backstreet in Japan. Most importantly the fish was the highest quality. Simple and classic with a few flourishes like the halibut with yuzu which tasted so bright and refreshing and the albacore with garlic which provided just the right amount of kick. The sweet shrimp needed only a spritz of lemon since it was so fresh. And sitting at the bar we got to know the chef/owner and the staff who were so friendly. Will definitely be returning whenever we get over to W Hollywood. A much better option than Nobu just down the road. Just as tasty, not a scene and the type of small business that makes you feel welcome and special. Such a great find! read more

Been coming here for years. Can't believe I haven't left a review. By far one of the best sushi places in Los Angeles. I'm probably the pickiest eater on the planet, so you can only imagine how I am with sushi. Obsessed with the owners and the people who work here, and the absolute freshest tasting most delicious sushi ever. So consistently delicious I used to pick it up for dinner every Friday night when I lived close by. Love you Ajisai! read more

Best sushi i've had in LA. Consistently fresh, friendly staff, great service. Highly recommend going here.

My favorite sushi spot in LA. Period. Shoei and his team are the best and treat people like family. Intimate and casual environment.

Great Sushi! It's become my neighborhood go to. It's a small place so make a reservation ahead of time or come early!

Hot sake, edamame , spices tuna roll, Clinton roll, crab roll, yellowtail sushi, vey good. gluten free. I had crispy tuna and maybe a very tiny mild reaction from that. I have eaten here several times and only once a tiny reaction and I would guess from the crispy rice w/ tuna, they offer tamari read more

Favorite authentic sushi spot in La. Everyone I take here is blown away. Best quality fish and lovely staff. The interior is cute and intimate and during the summer they have outdoor seating. I absolutely love this restaurant read more

Incredible sushi! Love the chefs and the service. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh. Will come again!

Sushi and sashimi is excellent.their history is fun to hear about and it is small, intimate and out of the way. A pleasure to be there.

If your idea of ok sushi includes grabbing prepackaged rolls out of the cooler at, well... anywhere, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you aspire to a more sublime experience with fish, make a reservation for the sushi bar and just ask Chef Shoei to feed you. You won't be sad. That man clearly loves what he does and it shows in every bit of his fish selection and preparation. read more
