    So good loved all the rolls. Great price and kind staff. I would come here over any overpriced place any day of the week. So happy with the overall experience.

    Empty plates, full tummies & smiles.

    The food is good here. The ambiance is homey. Friendly. If you want fancy, this may not be what you choose - but if you want sweet staff, good service & yummy sushi, this is your place! My husband had a wonderful birthday dinner here. He was happy, so I was happy too. Thanks Bad Sushi!

    This spot has been on my list and I'm so happy to finally try it! Service was great, good selection variety was also great and prices were reasonable. I'll def be back to try another set of their foods! Interior and ambiance was also very zen and romantic.

    Service was great, and I appreciated the free miso soup with our meal. We got a couple rolls, all were pretty good. Fish was fresh and had no fishy taste. The waitresses were kind and checked in on us and refilled our waters. I would go again for a chill dinner.

    Easily the best sushi in LA. We always come here and on Valentine's Day they always have specials, very busy yet service never slowed and there was no waiting for anything. This place is amazing, always!

    BAD Sushi is a must on the west side and there's nothing BAD about it! This is my local sushi spot and I've never had a bad meal here! Always fresh and delicious. Aquaman can't get better fish than they serve here! - Parking - plenty of parking on the street, neighborhood, or in the back. - Service - it's good, but gets busy so be patient, but the people that work here are on top of it. - Ambiance - not a ton of space, but makes it a cozy experience. Good to catch up with friends, a 2nd/3rd date, or just by yourself. - Food - My go to is the packs roll, cute devil, yellowtail belly, salmon belly, and eel. You will not go wrong with any of these, but everything is FIRE like Charizard's tail. Highly recommend and a must have!

    Shrimp Village Roll and Say Fish Roll
    Hayley C.

    I almost didn't write this review so I could keep gatekeeping this spot, but that's a disservice I CANNOT do to the local community. BAD Sushi is a true gem. Great food, amazing service, and super fair prices that will keep you coming back. I have now tried the shrimp village, love love, and say fish rolls, and they are all DELICIOUS! Fresh, filling, and super flavorful. On one roll I asked for soy paper just to try it, and on a different occasion I returned and ordered the same roll, and they asked if I wanted to have it with soy paper again!! How did they remember that?? The service is truly exceptional and the food is even better. The interior is super cute and could be a casual dinner or local date night.

    The sushi was delicious and fresh!   Back: #1 Dress Me Up Front: #19 Sweet Sixteen

    I was in the area and had a craving for sushi, then came across BAD Sushi. For a Sunday evening the place was constantly busy with both dine in and to-go customers, which was a pleasant indicator that this spot is popular. The service and food were great - even the sushi chef checked up on me! I ordered Dress Me Up, Sweet Sixteen, and Love At First Bite - all were delicious! Really glad I came across this place and will definitely be back!

    BAD Salmon Roll
    Harleen K.

    This place is average. Every piece of the rolls we had ordered fell apart bc the rolls were getting stuck to the plate/foil. The fish itself was okay. This place is just mid but decently priced.

    Albacore's Shirtless (4pcs)
    Jason T.

    The place is busy, like busy busy but don't let the looks fool you. We saw that it was packed, but only had to wait 15 mins. They move tables quickly and people don't linger too too long. The staff was super friendly and the food comes out quickly. It's a popular place for a reason. We ordered several things and split it between two people. I thought it was just enough and only paid about $40 a person which I thought was super reasonable considering we got to try a few different things. The sushi tasted fresh and the crispy tuna was really good. Super crispy and topped with spicy tuna on top. The salmon might have been my favorite of the bunch but the different rolls were solid and even the albacore hit the spot. There wasn't anything we didn't like and there's so much to choose from. It's really hard to pick but I think we nailed it. We'll definitely be back to try more things. The Westside has a ton of sushi options and if you are looking for something not super authentic and more Americanized I'd suggest this spot. That's not a bad thing, it's just a different style that's tasty in its own right.

    We came by here on a whim and weren't disappointed. The sushi was fantastic, service was great, prices were very reasonable. The only potential problem I could see is there aren't very many tables so it's possible you may not get a table without a reservation. We didn't have that problem. Plus, there's always takeout as an option. You should try it. BAD sushi stands for Best And Delicious or something. Courageous name if I do say so myself.

    Nude beach. Fish was very tender

    Orderes nude beach - SOOO GOOD! The sauce is yummy ! Scs roll was very good also. Not to busy either, great was to kill time avoiding traffic

    Rolls were not fresh and felt like eating flavorless frozen fish that was thawed. I would not go back again.

The Assorted Sashimi was fun for the two of us to each try 6 premium pieces. Everything tasted fresh and high quality with a different garnish accompanying each piece! The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy to munch on in between sushi bites. Their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice surprised me with an arrangement of flavors and textures that went together magically. I would have gotten a second order if stomach space wasn't a concern. Next we had the Yellowtail Sashimi, which of course had sliced jalapeño on top. I don't care how many restaurants put that out, it's always fantastic. The only roll we got was the Cherry Blossom roll, I was intrigued by the menus indication that it didn't have rice. A large roll with 11 pieces came out that was 95% fish, the remaining 5% being bits of avocado and two sauces that paired exquisitely. It tasted excellent. Our server recommended their Kid Season sake which was exactly what I was looking for: filtered and semi sweet. Highly recommend!

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.

The atmosphere is great if you love intimate bar seating, the service is warm and cordial, and the drinks are very good. I also really liked the amount and variety of dishes served outside of the nigiri, so the meal felt substantial and well paced. The food itself was good and well executed, but for the price point, I was hoping for something more memorable or distinctive. A lot of the dishes and flavor profiles felt very familiar and similar to what I've had at many other more traditional omakase experiences. Nothing was bad by any means, but there wasn't a particular bite or flavor combination that surprised me or stayed with me afterward. The second time I came here, they had firefly squid (in season) which was a delight. If you're newer to sushi or omakase, I think this would be a great experience. But if you eat omakase frequently, there are other places around this price point that I think offer something a little more unique or memorable.
