    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.

    Cute Devil Roll

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    This is my go to place! Everything is always so delicious and the waitresses are so kind. My favorite roll is love at first bite. I live on the other side of LA but I make the drive just for this place

    It was my first time here I really like the food and love the customer service. the Salmon Belly sushi was the best.

    Amber S.

    Ordered takeout in a group of 4 and ordered the Salmon Lover (picture depicts two orders). My friend and I both really enjoyed this roll, which has spicy tuna, cucumber, seared salmon, lemon, and their house sauce. We felt that the lemon really balanced the roll, and I appreciated that the texture and flavor of the rice was just right. This place is pretty good value for sushi--I'm definitely interested in trying their other rolls!

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!

When I made reservations on the phone I asked about the latest reservation and confirmed 10 pm - however I asked if I could sit at the bar and they said not at that time since they closed at 11. When we arrived, there was a couple coming in at 10 and sat at bar...maybe just miscommunication but tha could have prevented us from consuming our food quick and skipping on alcohol since the table we got was not the best. Sushi felt very fresh and there's something about the way they make the rolls that feels different about other places (not sure if in a good way) Great staff and sushi chefs- they were super fast moving from one course to the next one.

Hosted in the same…read morebuilding (the same fishy smell permeates the space) at an intimate counter for about 10 guests, the decor of the space is less sterile and clean and more jazzy Tokyo hipster. While the fish quality here is great, you will get more bites that seem a lot more experimental with flavors and garnishes. I didn't like every single bite but I expected that. A lot more focus on creative cocktails and drink pairings instead of just sake or wine. This is a great place to try Japanese whiskey, they even have little lockers where regular patrons can store their expensive bottles they've bought for when they return, and you are welcome to grab an additional drink and chill in the space afterwards if you'd like. The chefs here were a lot more personable and fun with more of a bar vibe than a traditional omakase. Service was great, dedicated bartender was great, and though it's not the best sushi I've ever tasted, I would still bring someone back here for a unique experience. Brought my friend here for her bday and we left full and happy and a little drunk so I'd say it was a successful night!

    Great food! Great crew!…read more However, they allowed 2 obnoxious couples to just make it for an uncomfortably loud dinner. Thai is not how an omakase experience should unfold. Such a shame because otherwise it would have been a great experience. But I cannot excuse them for allowing these other guys to just behave so rudely, like Neanderthal, and not say a thing.

    came here on a wednesday night with my bf for a date and... lowkey obsessed…read more first of all -- they don't take reservations. like at all. we got lucky because we went kinda late and there was no wait, but i can 100% see this place getting packed the space is TINY tiny. like true hole-in-the-wall vibes. but in a way that actually feels authentic, not curated. genuinely felt like we were in japan for a second -- nothing flashy, just simple, cozy, and real also pls know before you go -- this is NOT your california roll / teriyaki / noodles type of spot. it's straight sushi. very no-frills, very traditional they literally make each piece right in front of you, one by one, which makes the whole experience feel super intentional and fresh and that's exactly why it hits. the fish quality is so good, everything tasted super clean and fresh without trying too hard. no gimmicks, just really solid sushi it's also super lowkey which i loved for date night. not loud, not chaotic, just chill and intimate def one of those places you almost don't want to post about... go try it!!!

    Spent a lovely, relaxed evening at this sushi spot…read more The ambiance stood out right away--clean, calm, and just the right amount of atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy your meal, and have a good conversation. The food was consistently good. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a few signature rolls that felt thoughtfully done without trying too hard. Service was another highlight--easygoing, attentive in a subtle way, and never intrusive. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that a few dishes didn't quite have that "wow" factor. But sometimes, I appreciate a place that simply gets everything right without overcomplicating it. Definitely somewhere I'd return to--and perhaps bring the right company next time.
