Izakaya Osen on Sunset is definitely one of my favorite sushi spots. I found this place on one of…read moremy sushi ventures and I'm so glad I did. I love that they were able to substitute imitation crab for real crab because I don't do imitation crab. So when I can get a California roll with real crab, I'm getting it. It's such a simple roll, but so yummy! I'm a nigiri girl, and let me tell you the fish here is just so delicious, fresh, buttery and melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. And the best seat in the house is at the bar watching the sushi chefs do their thing, the whole vibe is just great. It's perfect for lunch or a nice date night. I do recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends. Definitely worth it

The menu is very long so you can go with someone who doesn't like sushi and they will be able to find a delicious meal. I would recommend going with a larger group so you can try many different dishes. We have great service and the restaurant was clean. We will go back but not as often as some other places due to the price. However, the nigiri was worth the price!

I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce it was a little too sweet and BBQ-like for my taste but my boyfriend really liked them! We also ordered the Mayu and Spicy Miso ramen. Both had a generous amount of noodles, but the noodle-to-broth and topping ratio felt a little off. I also swapped my protein for chicken, but was disappointed that there weren't many toppings overall. The portions were filling, but unfortunately, the ramen was just okay and didn't really stand out. For the price, I expected a little more, and some of the ingredients didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. Overall, not bad, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

We made reservations for 9 but arrived 15 minutes early and luckily 2 people had just left so we were seated immediately. We were welcomed by Missy as she helped us order food for which was supposed to be for 2 people but the food was so good we ate for about like 4 people and don't regret a second of it. Before I continue I just want to put it out there that Missy had exceptional customer service skills and she was so funny and super attentive and so nice, I almost wanted to hug her before we left lol. We started with edamame and spicy tuna on crispy rice and immediately after that I knew we were about to eat some bomb sushi, and sure enough walked in happy and left ecstatic because we're coming back this week for round 2. Fish was INSANE quality, sashimi was literal butter, the rolls were out of this world. For someone who orders extra sauce for once I didn't have to use extra ponzu or spicy mayo because everything is just so flavorful. Thank you SANTŌ you can take all my money any day! The chefs deserve everything because wtf WOWWWWW!

We sat down and everything seemed to go well until the waitress came to our table and I started to order sushi for me and my wife and as soon as my wife opened the pizza to feed our daughter the waitress raised the issue with us feeding our daughter pizza, she said we had to order for her from their menu. I told her our child would not eat their food so to order from their menu for her would be a waste of money. She said "sorry" so I said ok then we can't eat here got up and walked out. So they let a $150.00 dine in ticket walk out over a pizza for our child. Not very smart business. I get it if adults are trying to come in there and bring outside food for themselves but children should be an exception. Regardless we respect their rules and took our business down the road to Star Fish sushi where they welcomed us and allowed us to feed our daughter pizza with no issues whatsoever. 5 Starts for star fish sushi!

The vibes here are really nice too, they've got a cute little patio out front and sushi bar seating inside if you want to sit right up close. Only downside is parking since you have to find street parking, but that's a minor thing. Sushi itself was a solid 5/5 and we'll definitely be back!
