Visiting from Houston - found this wonderful place near my hotel - popped in on s Saturday night. Intimate restaurant with soft lighting. Definitely a local place. Sat at the bar and chatted with the chefs. Definitely recommend if you haven't. read more

So we paid $38 to take an uber to this place in the middle of nowhere and arrived at 8:25pm, the doors were closed but it said on the door "closed at 9pm" and also online stated that it closed at 9pm. The lady that opened the door was extremely rude, we told her that we arrived on time and she said she had sent all her cooks home. She took zero accountability for the poor service, and poor business practices. read more

Kaya Sushi - Business hours are wrong - Sushi Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

They were out of one of the things I ordered, which unfortunately is something I look forward to. There is no substitute for uni really. But that happens and it's not their fault. Started with house salad. The ingredients were fresh. If felt underdressed, but the dressing is just watery and most of it ended up at the bottom of the bowl. Still tasty way to start. I was then served the two ha!drolls. The spicy tuna hand roll was pretty good, with a nice amount of tuna. The salmon skin hand roll was fine. But I prefer it when the salmon skin has a little salmon meat on it. But this was made well. The toro sushi was nice., with fresh wasabi. I hit the spot. The japanese scallop sashimi was ok. It didn't have the firmness I associate with fresh scallops (taken from a shell). It was more like scallops that were frozen. They were still ok. The place itself is lovely: There's a waterfall at the entrance that brings a soothing quality to the dining area. The whole place feels cool and cozy, with some background music playing. It's nice. The service is very good. The chefs are pretty quick. The servers are friendly and helpful. This is a nice spot I'd come to again. If probably not gone here for a sushi fix, more for business food with a couple of pieces of sushi; The bill was pretty high for what I got. But I didn't get their designed lunches or specials because I don't want tuna/salmon/yellowtail when I get sushi or sashimi and that costs more. I'm fine with it. read more

My coworkers always come here for lunch in between or after meetings. This restaurant is always consistent, quick and the waiters/waitresses are always on point. We were strapped for time as we had a meeting to go to afterwards. We got a seat right away and ordered. The food came out so fast and service was great! Food was solid with great portions. Thanks so much to the team here who brought us our food quickly so that we could make it to our next meeting! Definitely will be coming back again. read more

Decent sushi place. I came during lunch and was hoping the service would've been a little faster but it was slow and I felt rushed to eat and get back to work. There wasn't any lunch specials, so that was a little bit of a letdown. However the restaurant was very clean and the waitress was nice. I might skip this place for lunch and try it for dinner instead when I'm not on a time crunch. read more

Kaya Sushi - My Go-To Spot for Nearly a Decade I've been coming to Kaya Sushi for over 9 years, and it's hands down my favorite sushi spot. This is a family-owned and operated restaurant where quality truly matters. Sharon is an absolute sweetheart and always makes you feel welcome, and the chefs put genuine care and attention into every dish they serve. It's taken me a while to write this review because, honestly, a part of me wanted to keep this place a little secret. It's mostly locals who come here, and many--like me--have become regulars over the years. I eat here about once a month, and when I'm feeling under the weather, I always order their seafood ramen. The broth is incredible--comforting, flavorful, and somehow revives me every time. If you're looking for fresh sushi, warm service, and a place that feels like home, Kaya Sushi is it. read more

Kaya Sushi - My favorite place!!! Salmon Belly - Sushi Bars Near Me - El Segundo, California

Had lunch there with a co-worker and both of us had to laughing at how bad the food was, especially compared to the price. We both had beef teriyaki and spicy tuna roll, lunch special. The tuna roll was not bad, what you would expect and nothing more. The beef teriyaki was a joke. The beef was sliced really thin, chewy, and no taste. I think the beef might have been warm but they put cold teriyaki sauce on it and plated the beef on top of cold cabbage. So the beef was thin, tasteless, and cold. I can't believe I paid $26 for this lunch special. So disappointed and will never return. I would have given their food a 1 star but the server smiled and was attentive. Therefore earned an extra star. read more

First of all, the Yelp reviews here are underrated. This is a superb restaurant that's friendly, attentive, clean, and peaceful (just like the little Buddha statues that align the walls). The ceilings are high, giving the place a mellow, airy feeling. The ambiance is laid back and easy going. There's even a cascading waterfall over a glass wall for that premium look. I've had the dolsot bibimbap, the Bento boxes, and the gyoza. All of it was excellent and fresh, with generous portions. The bibimbap is some of the best I've eaten (better than even those of some of the more expensive Korean restaurants in LA). The shift manager, Sharon, is a delightful host and makes you feel welcome. The rest of the staff is courteous, responsive, polite, and professional. I could eat here everyday if my spoiled American, foodie palate didn't pull me away to other cuisines. (I honestly can't eat food from the same regional cuisine for more than two days at the most.) This is one of El Segundo's best restaurants, full stop. If you're craving Japanese food, sushi, or even Korean cuisine, Kaya is a place you must try. read more

It was our first time coming out to try Kaya Sushi as a date night. We ordered 3 sushi rolls; the Hongster, Rainbow, and the Daphney's roll, as well as some miso soup, blue crab sushi, and Jap Che. All of the food was great! The miso soup was hearty and our sushi was filling. The staff were very friendly and our waiter John was very attentive to us, he made sure we were happy and satisfied with our meals. Would recommend to come check it out! read more

Kaya gave our work group fantastic service for lunch. They seated our group of 10 promptly and within 20 minutes we had our order placed. The decoration is pleasing, with a nice waterfall at the entrance. Once the sushi started coming out, it came in delicious waves of sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls. The tempura was fresh. The bluefin sashimi was delightful. I especially enjoyed the Marilyn Mon-Roll! Thanks Kaya for a successful lunch outing. read more

Kaya El Segundo is our go-to for outstanding sushi in a nice environment. A lot of sushi restaurants in our area are casual with menu items where the quality varies. But Kaya meals are always inventive, delicious, and incredibly fresh. The staff are attentive and welcoming.

I've been a Kaya Sushi patron since before this location even existed. I much prefer the El Segundo location over the Marina due to the abundance of free parking and El Segundo never has a dinner wait. Sharon treats us like family and she always has great menu recommendations. We love the quality and freshness of the fish and creativity of the menu. This isn't your mall sushi spot with cheap rolls, a picture menu and half price specials. This is the real deal where the chefs take pride in their work and you're paying for quality fish. Don't sleep on this hidden gem! The Tuna Delight is my favorite! read more
