    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.

    Safa B.

    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!!!!

Not only did it have around 4 different types of garlic in it but I don't remember it giving me awful garlic breath?! The magic behind it is insane. Absolutely worth the slightly higher pricing and I understand the wait. Super intimate seating, and gets crowded really fast so be sure to get there early (and no online reservations)! Recently revisited and tried the signature, definitely quite a bit more expensive but the best signature, not plain but basic (?) ramen. Super creamy with an egg and a pretty solid amount of protein (it's reflected in the price though). The enoki mushroom crisps small plate was super delichous slightly spicy snack, great app. I think I'd want to try a different more uniquely flavorful ramen next time.

The Kanil Miso had a really nice, rich crab flavor and was just as good. We also tried the grilled corn and fried chicken, and both were really good! My only complaints are that most of the tables are pretty small, so it would be nice to have more larger tables. Also, there were quite a few mosquitoes around the outdoor seating area. Overall, really enjoyed everything we ordered and would definitely come back!

The other was the soft shell crab roll which also was tasty. The flavors were on point with the combination of the sweet and umami. SERVICE Ordered my food to go then decided I wanted to eat it there. The owner was nice and gave great customer service. He even serve my baked salmon roll for there, and plated the other roll to go. I thought it was such a nice touch since I was on the phone and forgot to communicate that I'd like it done that way. He literally read my mind. AMBIANCE The place was elegant, and quieter which was perfect for the setting. There was tv on in case I needed some entertainment. I had a FT call I had to take with my friend but was also able to enjoy my food. It was a great place I'll definitely be visiting again.

    I want to start this off by saying I've ordered delivery from Blosom quite a few times and the food…read morehas always been good, decent quality. It's not the best, but it's consistent and tasty. However, to not keep paying delivery fees, we decided to go in person since the restaurant is close by, and that was a mistake. It's a cute, clean restaurant in a weird location, tucked into a corner by the target. They have tablets at the tables, which is fun, and they still brought paper menus, but we ordered off the tablet. It is odd because while my husband was deciding what to order, the tablet told us to order or it would time out. So I ordered my food and sent it in and then a few seconds later, my husband put in his order. Mine came out quickly and was the quality I'd come to expect. And then...we waited. And waited. Other parties slowly trickled in (prior it had been mostly empty). When I saw they got their food long before my husband received his, I flagged one of the two waitresses and she assured us they were working on it. Like me, my husband got two sushi rolls. It took another 15 minutes (during which time soups and plates had been handily delivered to other tables) before my husband finally got his food. There was no apology, and no acknowledgment that two rolls took over a half hour. If they had forgotten the order or something had gone awry, that's fine! I understand the chaos of a busy kitchen. But to not acknowledge or check on us in a near empty restaurant is just poor service. I will stick to ordering online.

No debate, no hesitation. Just ramen. I had tried this spot at another location before and remembered liking it, so it felt like a safe, comforting choice for a long overdue catch-up. We got there at that in-between hour... not quite lunch, not quite dinner. The kind of time where the restaurant feels like it's just exhaling. It was completely empty except for us, which honestly made everything feel a little more intimate--like the space was ours for the afternoon. We sat down and immediately slipped into conversation, picking up right where we left off after graduation. Life updates, little wins, quiet struggles... the kind of conversation that only comes easy with people who've known you for years. And in between all that, our mouths were busy. The ramen came out hot, comforting, and exactly what we needed. Rich broth, satisfying noodles--one of those meals where you don't even realize how hungry you were until you take the first bite. We kept pausing mid-sentence just to take another bite, then laughing because we couldn't decide what deserved more attention: the food or the conversation. Service was really attentive without being intrusive. They somehow knew when to check in and when to let us just exist in our little bubble. The music was soft, not overpowering, so we never had to raise our voices or repeat ourselves--something I appreciate more and more these days. We stayed longer than we probably planned, but it didn't feel rushed at all. Just two old friends, warm bowls of ramen, and a space that let us slow down for a bit. Definitely one of those simple meals that turns into a really good memory.

    Great vegetarian ramen options!…read more Would rate 5 stars, but I don't care too much for the trivia host. I found how they enforced the game rules unnecessary and rude. Hard not to use your phone especially as a parent for over an hour. One quick glance and was told to put my phone away.

How could my favorite cookie in LA be retired? How could Spider-Man or Batman or Buddha or any messianic figure "retire"? The injustice conjures to mind a memory of the reason that six years ago I walked with my fist up during protests only blocks from this location. I'm not ashamed to say I buckled to my knees and spouted flowing tears that rivaled the lovely new waterfall you have outside. With all the uncertainty and chaos in the world, there was one place of solace I could rely on to nourish my spirit and renew the daily fight to spread light in this shadowy world. No, not at church. But at Yuko Kitchen, where I could sit and audibly exhale while demolishing the not-too-sweet-sweetness of the green tea sesame cookie. So please Yuko and team, before I believe all the good is gone from this world. Bring back the delightful sweet treat that could heal the world. The hallowed Green Tea Sesame Cookie.
