Kama toro
Ofer S.

1st here and I must say my kids and I were very pleased. Family owned, service was great, fish was fresh and tasty. Sorry for posting only 1 photo, we dove right in and forgot all about taking pics . But I'll be back for these so stay tuned ...

Fun time with family

Food, service and expectation was great. It was slow the time we arrived but overall their quick. We started off with Spicy edamame. We recommend the Japanese beer asahi, very smooth. Food has no "fishy" taste and smell. Very enjoyable.

Salmon sashimi

I'm visit LA and my friends decided to take me out. This place was the only one in the area that was open until 10pm. We sat down, ordered quickly because last call was 9:30pm. The brought the food out within mins and we got to enjoy every bit. The fish was fresh and very delicious. Everything on the table was pretty much gone by the end of the evening. The employees didn't rush us to finish up to leave. They were really kind enough to let us enjoy our evening. Would love to go back to this place!

Sunset Roll

Service is super nice, very pleasant and attentive staff. Its great lunch spot, but the quality of sushi used to be better 2 years ago. Still a good place to check out if craving sushi in the valley

Albacore Delight Roll, White Fish, Mackerel and Eel Sushi

Realized that I never did a review but have been here several times. This is my go to neighborhood sushi place. Great place to come for a Sunday lunch with the family. They have yelp wait list which is always good with a big party like ours. So many choices of you want sushi, hot food, appetizers and the staff is so friendly. For appetizers- get the yellowtail collar, crispy skin and moist fish. So good and enough for a few people to pick at or eat by yourself. Sushi- you can go wrong with anything you order. Fish is fresh and they don't over do it with rice which is perfect. The pieces on the sashimi special were super generous. Shrimp scampi roll, lobster roll and white Hawaiian are so good!

Dining area

Tuna crispy rice was really good! Great background music too. Really good service! Was not very busy on a Saturday at lunch time.

This is my neighborhood joint and it is the best place to unwind after a day at work. The only downside is there is always a child making too much noise which does not bring me joy, but the food is delicious always. The staff is so nice. The food always hits the spot.

My friend and I went here and were so lucky to have been seated right away. The restaurant itself…read moreis a little small but felt intimate. We ordered 3 rolls and 2 hand rolls and it was the perfect amount. The chefs #1 roll was our absolute favorite! Could not get enough of it. We also got the lemon and yuzu roll which were both very delicious as well. I would definitely come back here. The fish was fresh and service was great. Only downside was because it's in the middle of DTLA there's not a lot of parking on the street. However it's right across from Japanese village which is attached to a parking structure. Just be mindful you'll have to pay.

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.

The tofu sampler was very solid in my opinion, which if you like a strong soy flavor, this appetizer is for you. I've never had tofu presented this way so it was a unique experience, although loosely reminds me of the Chinese version of tofu dessert but firmer. Fun to interact with the different salt adds too. The chirashi set bowl was also an excellent value for what you get. It definitely fills you up and the fish cuts are very nice. They even offer to fry your shrimp head to add to the experience. Also I think the service was great. There was clearly a new person in training so she may have messed up our tofu sampler presentation by perhaps pairing the wrong salt with the wrong tofu but the regular staff was quick to address. The newer member also charged us a beer by accident but that was corrected too.
