    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!

    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!

    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.

    BAD Salmon Roll

    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)

    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

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

One of the best sushi spots I've had a in a while actually. We didn't really do any appetizers and went straight in for the fish. Started off with a couple of hand rolls, we did the crab hand roll and O toro hand roll. Crab hand roll wasn't as impressive, I've had better to be honest. I didn't let that experience ruin it for me because the toro hand roll was delicious. I think they add a piece of mint and it complimented the hand roll. Very crunchy nori wrapper and good rice to fish ratio. For our sushi we started with chu toro tuna, salmon belly, and halibut. Super fresh melt in your mouth quality. Halibut was interesting with the truffle, first time definitely won't be the last. We ended it with red snapper and black snapper. Absolutely amazing, I think the black snapper or the red snapper was slightly charred. It was so good. To say the least, this restaurant was worth it!

    The place was packed and loud with music, adults, and kids. I knew what i wanted and ordered but…read moreentire service took nearly an hour and i didn't order drinks or dessert. Super slow. Nice of the chef to switch out roe for halibut for me on my omakase. However, probably the worst omakase I've ever had. No creativity, nothing felt premium, chewy fish, flavors didn't mesh, and half of it was salty. The miso soup wasn't scorching, which i appreciated at first but that meant the last few sips were fairly room temp. The real crab handroll was good. If the price point was $35 sushi set I'd give 5/5 but this is supposed to be premium omakase. I've been to other Sushi Enya locations and had good experiences, so this was very disappointing. Stick to the rolls and nigiri.

    There's always a debate about who has the best sushi in the area, but after eating at Sushi Gen, I…read morehonestly think this place deserves to be at the top of that conversation. From the very first bite, you could tell the quality was on another level. Every piece of fish tasted unbelievably fresh--like it had just come off the boat a couple of hours earlier. It's rare to find sushi that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how clean, buttery, and flavorful it is. The salmon sashimi absolutely melted in my mouth and was one of the best I've had in a long time. The tuna was just as impressive, rich with incredible texture and freshness. Every roll and every piece of nigiri was prepared with so much care that it reminded me why I love sushi in the first place. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The experience went beyond just the food. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and had the perfect sushi spot vibe. I wish I could remember our server's name because they were fantastic--giving great recommendations, making us feel genuinely welcomed, and showing us so much hospitality throughout the meal. Service like that makes an already amazing meal even more memorable. Sushi Gen absolutely lived up to the hype, and I already know I'll be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. If you're looking for sushi that truly stands out, this is a place you have to experience.

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.
