    Elote roll or something
    Jade L.

    I am o so very sad. But it has nothing to do with this restaurant I'm just depressed and now I am writing a yelp review. This restaurant was really good actually. The sushi was fun especially the elote one very unique. It was also a good price with the combo. $50 for a good amount (with 2 people we had a hard time finishing) the service was also very nice. It's self service mostly for water and napkins and such but the host and people still checked in on us. Ambiance was also super cute and a nice theme. Very very nice yay yay sushi. I should come here again and try to be less sad

    Such a cute cozy spot very reminiscent of Japan! Good prices and really good quality fish!

    Szechuan Tofu

    We stopped by after visiting Helms Bakery and were excited to finally check this place out. We first noticed it during the Culver City Art Walk but saw they weren't fully open at the time. We ordered a couple of maki rolls and the Szechuan tofu--everything was delicious. They gave us a sample of the ramen broth, which was also good. The ordering process was easy since everything is done through the Toast app. The decor and atmosphere are also really cute, we'll definitely be back!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome! Note, they're still in soft opening right now, so hours / days may be different / changed / what not. While on a nightly walk in Culver City, I noticed that I 8Sushi storefront was finally open and I immediately took advantage. The menu is still under construction (I think), but I grabbed the salmon sashimi and a normal tuna roll. The tuna roll was great, but upon getting to the sashimi, that was the kicker. It was incredibly soft and buttery (oh so buttery), and great to taste. Service was fast and it ambiance of the storefront was especially sweet since it's fall. 100% recommend!

    Sushi box platter

    Gimmicky? Yes. I mean the sushi had hot Cheetos & Rice Krispies on it. ‍ Good? Also yes! The sushi was fresh & all the flavors went well together. I got the sushi box so I wasn't sure which rolls I would receive. I enjoyed them all! I picked up the order & the young man went out of his way to bring the box outside to my car. Good food, good service.

    Omg crunch roll
    Carolyn N.

    Was so excited that there was a new sushi place opening in the neighborhood. Been following their Instagram was before they actually opened and was captivated by their photos and marketing. Unfortunately, I must say I'm a little disappointed. The interior was nice, new and modern. But at a closer look, there were just a lot of mixed elements that just didn't make sense to me. It was a sushi rolls place, so it was obviously Japanese, but there were also a lot of tropical island elements, and the rolls also came in a pizza box. I guess it brings a little Hawaiian / California vibe, but it felt a tiny but off to me. They had a small selection of rolls including tuna, yellowtail, salmon, etc. And unfortunately, they didn't even have yellowtail that day. But forgivable as seeing it was still their soft opening. I ordered one OmG crunch roll take out ($22 with tax and tip). I was expecting a awe moment when I got my order, but it was very messy and the presentation really wasn't up to my expectations. The taste was OK. Maybe a slight bit better than rolls you'd get at wholefoods. The little crunchy cereal-like bits were new to me. And the rolls were quite large. But each piece was so big I had no way of putting the entire thing in my mouth at once. So it made it even messier.... To be honest, after writing the review, I feel like it should be more like 3.5 stars for me. But seeing it as they are still a brand new business, I think I might give them another chance sometime. Parking is available on Washington (mostly metered) or in the residential neighborhood streets behind the restaurant.

    We really like i8 Sushi! The atmosphere is cozy and the decoration is simple but stylish. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is fresh and tasty. It's one of those little spots in Culver City that's definitely worth visiting. Whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner, it's a great place to enjoy good sushi without breaking the bank.

    The words don't do justice to the superb food selection, quality, and reasonable prices at i.8sushi The service is excellent!! The variety is old Japanese food with great personal attention to preparation and presentation.

    Everything was delicious. A little quiet since it's still in the early stages and just sodas and water but nonetheless definitely coming back

    Godzilla roll

    Sushi is sooo good. Recommend the chili roll and Godzilla roll. Prices are reasonable and it's a chill vibe

    DELICIOUS!!!! From the Ramen to Sushi the food is delicious and the jazz music is beautiful and the staff is soooo kind!!!!!! Highly recommend!!! I frequent this restaurant with my daughter and friends!!!!

    I've been going to SunnyBlue since their first location opened in Santa Monica on Main Street!…read more I'm seeing people get confused between the locations and the CULVER CITY LOCATION HAS SEATING with a community table inside and several smaller tables outside. The Santa Monica one is more grab and go as it's their smaller flagship location. This business has been carried by the owner Keiko who has brought a slice of Japan outside of the designated communities of West LA's Sawtelle and DTLA's Japan Town! Here (at either location) you will find unique delicious flavors of omusubi but also called onigiri rice balls! That you won't find anywhere else! Rice balls are actually shaped into triangles and stuffed or mixed with simple ingredients like a salted plum called ume (it tastes salty, and tangy with a touch of sweetness) To more engaging offerings like the lucky cat with japanese pickles with fresh wasabi, ginger, and bonito(dried fish that is sliced paper thin) These finger foods can be enjoyed as a snack or grab a few to make a meal. The Culver City Location has a decor that immerses you in Japan. They have a small market section with alcohol such as saki, handmade dishware from Japan, cute claw machines for kids, and expanded meal offerings! Besides Keiko being absolutely amazing, the food is as well! From curry stuffed to fresh shisho leaves and pickled wasabi!!! There's lots to choose from and the best part.,,.they have always had an expansive vegan menu! Yes they are very Vegan Friendly! I love the Eggplant Chili Miso and Wasabi Tsukudani. I highly suggest checking out the Culver City location so you can sit down and enjoy a drink and the ambiance and expanded offerings. After going to this place for nearly 16 years there are rare days where things like the rice may be off due to a mistake, but I've only experienced that a total of 2 times in 16 years so it's pretty rare!

    My friend eats here a lot so I wanted to try it out myself…read more I placed a togo order online for a miso beef and sunny blue curry omusubi. The order took awhile (about 30 mins) but there is an online tracker and it's quite accurate. Both omusubis were made fresh. The rice was kinda falling apart. It could definitely use more protein. The curry one is sooooo good but needs a little more salt. The beef was good too, it reminded me of Yoshinoya. It was about $6 for one. They have a combo plate but I didn't need the sides.

    This restaurant is seriously slept on. There should be a line out the door (not that I wanna wait…read moreto eat all the delicious food). We've been here a gazillion times and we'll be back a gazillion times more. We love both the sushi and izakaya items. The nigiri, rolls and carpaccios are (literally) chef's kiss! And their fried, steamed, sauteed items are exceptional. I don't know what magical incantations and techniques are used on the miso eggplant, but people who actively don't like eggplant love this dish. It's caramelized deliciousness. Straight-up witchcraft I tell you.  I know I waxed on and on about the bacon mochi in my previous review, but I need to you hear me when I extol its virtues from the highest mountain. Plus, this time, I have video of the epic pull! The fish tacos are superb. There a light, crispy batter on the flaky fish with fresh veggies on top. I daresay I felt healthy eating these tacos. The sauteed scallops with ponzu is an absolute must-order. The scallops are cooked (not overcooked, not undercooked) to a perfect texture that retains the natural sweetness of scallops, which contrasts beautifully with the savory-tangy-umami elixir created by ponzu and butter. The sauce is so delicious that we always order a side of rice to get every last drop.

    A great hidden gem! We love having omakase here! We've only ordered sashimi and sushi and have not…read moreordered any of the warm cooked dishes. Their fish is solid! This place is MUCH better than some of the other local sushi spots. My favorites here are: Red snapper Salmon Halibut (tiny citrus topping) Amberjack (with truffle oil) Big eye tuna Golden eye Black snapper If you're looking for more of a bar/ social vibe, go to Hama sushi. If you're looking for low key spot with high quality sashimi, come here!

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is a great place for everything ramen. we love it. You order your food at the counter and have a seat at the large seating area that is in the Japanese market food court. It is always clean and tidy. The AC is always on so you are never miserable. The service is fast and friendly. They let you know when your order is ready. You can eat there or do pick up. They also deliver. They are known for their ramen. We love all of them. Their TONKOTSU SHIO RAMEN is their signature ramen, all in a silky tonkotsu broth enhanced with simple salt flavor. It is not fancy, just great. Their TONKOTSU SHOUYU RAMEN has a savory flavor with soy sauce and, combined with silky tonkotsu broth with a hint of bonito dashi. Their TONKOTSU TORONIKU RAMEN is a must try. It is "toro-niku" which is made with tender pork cheek meat, which is very rare because only a small portion can be obtained from the pig. They also have great vegan items that you will love.
