Yelp should actually have a system in place for people who give 1 stars and require them to explain their reasonings to other patrons. Pathetic LA LA sushi is an absolute gem, and the people working there are very kind. The sushi is top quality. Some of the best nigiri in LA. And the chefs, like Tino, are also some of the best in LA The hours are very appealing, given that they're open late almost every night, and the menu has a ton of options. I've even gotten chicken teriyaki, and cooked halibut there, and both portions were big, and tasty (most places can't do sushi and normal kitchen food well) I highly recommend coming here if you are a sushi lover, especially nigiri. And if you like rolls, their dark knight, and la la sushi roll, are amazing ! Don't listen to a single negative review here. I think I saw some lady complain about the vinegar in her cucumber lmao. Some people need Jesus lol Enjoy !! read more

Sushi roll are very good but pricey That wanted 3$ extra just to add avocado.. And each roll around 24$ Service was quick but she had bad attitude read more

A friend recommended this place for their all-you-can-eat sushi, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is nice, and the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. The food was good, but I don't think it justifies the $54 per person price. They had a nice selection of appetizers, and I especially enjoyed the gyoza and the spicy tuna on crispy rice. I wasn't a fan of the calamari, though. It was heavily breaded, and I would have preferred more calamari and less coating. The creamy rock shrimp was also a bit too sweet for my taste. I also didn't care for the cucumber salad. Whatever sauce they used just didn't pair well with the cucumber. Most disappointing, for $54/person they should offer carpaccio. Not worth the price for sure. The sushi rolls were just okay. There weren't as many different options as I expected, and a lot of the rolls were very similar with only small variations. They also used quite a bit of rice, which made some of the rolls feel filling without adding much variety. One thing I did like was that most of the specialty rolls came with only four pieces instead of the usual six or eight. That made it easier to try more items without getting full too quickly. Overall, the fish tasted fresh, but the rolls were pretty average. For the price, I don't think I'd come back. I'd rather go to Zeppin Sushi in Encino, where I think you get more value for your money. That said, the staff was wonderful, and they definitely made the experience enjoyable. read more

Fish is high quality, and it's the only sushi restaurant open late in Studio City. Some of the rolls looked really questionable though cause a lot had cream cheese in them? We just stuck to the fish only rolls like the Black Tiger and Awesome Roll, or the sashimi type like yellowtail carpaccio. Those were delicious. However I advise strongly against getting the desserts, I ordered the Yuzu Cheescake once and they literally gave me a sliver of a slice. Like they took a whole slice then split it into 4 tiny tiny parts, it was almost as wide as my finger haha. Then have the audacity to charge $14 for a bite of a cheesecake, jokes on me. Also the whole place is run by ajummas, aka Korean aunties, and sometimes they're nice sometimes they got sass. They know they're the only ones open late so maybe that makes them more inclined to have a whatever attitude when you come in. That aside it's not a huge deal, I would come back if I'm ever in the area this late and want a quality sushi fix. read more

This is my all time FAV sushi spot!! Anytime I'm in the area I stop here, sushi + service are both amazing. Even my kids love this place. They have cute outdoor seating too! read more

We were very disappointed with how our situation was handled during our visit. We understand that the other two guests arrived from outside before us, and we respect that they were there first. However, there were two separate tables, with each table able to accommodate two guests. The other guests wanted to use both tables, and rather than finding a fair seating arrangement, the waiter asked us to leave. We left without arguing or creating any disturbance, even though we felt the situation could have been handled much more professionally. In our view, the waiter should have managed the available seating more appropriately and found a reasonable solution that accommodated both parties. Unfortunately, this experience left us with a very negative impression of the restaurant and its customer service. We may consider returning in the future, but we hope the management will take this feedback seriously and ensure that similar situations are handled more fairly and professionally. We were especially disappointed because we were willing to cooperate, yet we were the ones asked to leave. As a result of this experience, we do not feel comfortable leaving a tip for the service we received. read more

Went in and split jalapeño bombs, the Baked Salmon Roll and a bottle of something. Everything was really good. We spent $60 total not including tip. The service was REALLY attentive. We were the only people in the restaurant at first so that's prob why. The ambiance was ok. Typical of most family style restaurants. Overall, I would do back. read more

Excellent sush that has always been consistent and delicious. I highly recommend them!

Customer service was on point but the AYCE menu was left wanting as not all of the rolls were included in the ayce menu and the rolls that were about 90% of them had the "crabmeat" cheap filling. Most ayce restaurants have a majority if not all their rolls available for ayce especially for being at the middle to higher price range, as for the quality of the food, it tasted ok and it wasn't to crowded and food arrived promptly after placing each order. read more

After a long day and finally cleaning my kitchen tonight I refused to cook. It was 11 PM and I was starving so I grabbed my housemate and we arrived to this late night treat. Started with hot saki and spicy miso soup. Delicious and soul warming. Spicy salmon roll was fresh and fast. I don't do tuna so the Dark Knight Dragon Roll was the winner. We inhaled every piece of food and it's 12:13 am. Staff was so sweet. Wasabi was a bit sweet too. Thank you. -happy girl read more

The sushi here is amazing as well as the staff and service. I had a really great time the other day being as it was my first time there and I totally recommend it. They have phenomenal customer service that makes the food more enjoyable. On top of that the presentation of the sushi was awesome. I really enjoyed the Arnold Palmer and it easily became my favorite Arnold Palmer of all time. I look forward to returning. read more

Impeccable service with delicious food. Everything came out beautifully prepared and although I have no pictures (because we ate it so fast) the deep fried "Golden Tiger Roll" is my favorite. Our server consistently removed dirty/empty plates and ensured our drinks were full. At the end when we ordered dessert she came by and drizzled the chocolate table side, so cute! 10/10 recommend. read more

I was so hungry last night after getting out of work later than usual, and I remembered this place. It was a little after 10 p.m., and we were worried they might be closing soon -- but thankfully they weren't! It was my husband's and my first time there, and everything was delicious. The staff, servers, and chefs were so friendly and fun. I especially loved seeing how they interacted with their regulars -- they even knew them by name. Overall, it felt so welcoming and was a great experience. We will definitely be returning! read more

Not quite my taste but I liked this AYCE experience enough. Had a spread of apps, nigiri, and rolls. Baked mussels were presented well but what tasted like straight up Mayo was salty. Mayo on the Dynamite Scallops tasted better. Dish was baked to hot, but veggies mixed in might as well have remained as garnish being barely cooked. Sushi rice was easy portioned for the rolls, and about standard for nigiri. The Toro of the Toro roll was oily and fatty but did not taste great, texture very soft. Service was fast and friendly. Dessert not included in the AYCE :( . Nice vibe inside otherwise, lights not too bright over every table. May try again. read more

UNBELIEVABLE all you can eat special. Go for the premium... it has sashimi and a bunch of other top tier options. Come solo and sit at the bar, or bring a group and get a table. Fish quality and service here are next level. This place is definitely a hidden gem that the valley is lucky to have 10/10. read more

Sushi was previously very fresh for the first 5 visits. Good portions for the money. Except this last time, where they ignored my to go requests. Provided no wasabi and fish wasn't as fresh. Not sure I will order from here again. Also not a fan of the 'real crab' that seems more like a paste. Over the rainbow roll 8.5/10 (no Shrimp or yellow tail) Bluefin tuna roll 8/10 Shrimp Tempura Roll 8.5/10 Dark knight roll 8/10 Salmon land 6/10 Gluten free : Real crab California roll 8.5/10 Tuna cut roll 8.5/10 Salmon and Avacado roll 8.5/10 Seared salmon sushi 7.5/10 Spicy tuna on crispy rice 8/10 *Not GF has soy sauce in spicy tuna mix.

LA LA Sushi is located in a very busy section in downtown and in a competitive area. Their sushi is actually premium quality and I can see why they don't push/advertise their AYCE menu. The quality of fish is premium tier and you can see it on your plate as well as taste it in the flavor. The price point is a bit more expensive than other spots (by $10-$15 more) but honestly as many others have said.. IT IS SO WORTH IT. The Toro here is outstanding compared to many other places. It's fatty, delicate and flavorful. It is apart of their premium AYCE which is $10 more than their standard sushi but honestly, those extra PCS of their top quality fish are SO SO SO worth it. I knocked off a star only because I wasn't a big fan of their rice that was being used. The rice was a little too "soft" and borderline felt mushy. During our service, they had two batches of rice and they were a little inconsistent. I had a few pieces of rice roll off and it was a little messy. ( I normally do not have a problem with this or using chopsticks etc.) The ambiance is not glamourous whatsoever nor is it flashy. It's very humble, low key and quiet (during the weekday evenings). I do wish that there was a bit more effort in terms of interiors but that's the least thing I care about.. The music however was SO GOD AWFUL. I think they were playing a 30minute playlist from 2014 of 6 different songs or so and it was driving me nuts. Again, not a deal breaker but it was not a vibe whatsoever. The service is outstanding, every plate we were brought, the server took the time to explain which roll was which and which fish was what. They show a lot of pride and care in their well crafted food. Food 5/5 Value 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 2/5 Parking 2/5 (Street parking only) read more

I hate writing a low rating review but this joint just didn't hit the mark. The execution of creating "sushi" dishes failed and resembled more like "kimbap" with seafood. The rice was made incorrectly and they also used the wrong seaweed paper. Those two major components detracts from the enjoyment of true sushi dishes. The AYCE menu offers standard pricing tiers--regular at $49.95, premium at $59.95, and a kids' option priced at $19.95 for ages 3-7. Please note that the premium tier allows for a 1-time order of 12 items per person. This is not unlimited so if you don't care for those options, then stick with the regular tier. This place isn't cheap and that's okay if the price aligns with quality but it just didn't shine. In fact, this is just 1 grade above a sushi buffet. For those wanting a better sushi joint option, I recommend checking out "Here Fishy Fishy" off Wilshire blvd in Ktown next to the metro station for better quality AYCE sushi and same price point. Service was wonderful. The korean ladies were super nice but the food just doesn't sustain another visit. read more

What I enjoy about Lala sushi is their all you can eat. I am not a big fan of all you can eat sushi however this place has a lot of different items which has allowed me to go outside of my comfort Sushi Zone. If you have a little money to burn I would go for the premium version and really try to grab new stuff. It's a great little spot although sometimes parking is a little hard to come by. We've been there a few times and everyone there is nice and attentive. Sometimes it can get a little loud but other than that it's a great spot for a couple or groups. read more

No flexibility what so ever. I am vegetarian and I went with a friend who is a sushi lover. Keep in mind they have AYCE as an option but they don't advertise it. My friend wanted AYCE but I did not and they did not allow it. I've been to many sushi places and they're all flexible if someone doesn't eat sushi or fish and have offered it. For this visit, my friend had to opt of of the AYCE since it wasn't worth $65 for me to eat rice and cucumber. I ended up ordering a cut veggie roll and it came out the size of a pancake for each piece of the roll. It was literally spring mix and rice for $12. So I asked politely if they can just roll it smaller as other places do normally. They said no? I don't get it I wasn't asking for something unusual lol. Either way, won't be coming back. read more

Great place and amazing service always. The people who work there always make an good feeling and food.

Absolutely disappointed, the salad: sauce burned the throat, basically solely vinegar. $8 for a minuscule cucumber salad Sushi rice: extremely bland Sushi: thank goodness I didn't try the fish, very low quality sourcing. The Avacado used was past its time Miso: $4 for about 5 spoonfuls of soup that was basically salted water- advertised as including seaweed and tofu. Absolutely terrible. Don't go here. read more

LA LA Sushi... You make me wanna lala!!! "In the kitchen, on the floor," because the quality and care is beyond there. So much so that I even do takeout as well as delivery when I can't make it there. Studio City's Ventura Boulevard extravaganza of shops, stores, sips, savories, sweets and more is where you'll find the L.L. Sushi experience... Parking on the street or in back, just before Lemonade if heading east from Whitsett Avenue (aka Laurel Terrace Drive) on Ventura Blvd or just past it if traveling westbound from Laurel Canyon. The deep cozy welcoming energy and the veggie options for me are all a 10 out of 10 especially because I can enjoy plenty as can my non veggie friends. Those 5PM to 1AM hours (daily) are something to celebrate too, because late night can definitely hit the spot. Tofu steak, spicy edamame (plus garlic or og), organic green salad and sunomono are all great items to start among others. Cut or Hand rolls - avocado, cucumber and my absolute fav... Their garden (veggie) as it's usually how I roll... Get it? Definitely ask for the vegan friendly options though most that are usually by default are. Hoping they might label them with a v or vg on their menus in the future, not to mention add a vegan ramen, no rice roll and/or baked roll veg option to the list #APlantBasedFoodieCanWish lol. Very grateful for all they do have (a lot) and their kindness. It's a sushi bar with a local neighborhood feel that make the meals and deals feel authentic as well as real. Have yet to enjoy a sake or adult beverage here, but hoping to change that in the new year. Cheers to LLS for being one of the best! read more

The waitstaff is rude and doesn't understand what they're saying. They need to learn how to communicate with people properly.

The rolls tasted like they were bought from a grocery store. Rice is certainly something that they should pay close attention to: it was gluey and stale. One of the rolls (not pictured) was literally soaked in tobiko that had an unusual aftertaste, something I've never experienced before. read more

all I got was a side of rice here, I'm an Uber Eats driver and I wanted to have a quick bite before my trip but they provided exemplary service. I rarely write reviews for anything but I have to get on here and just acknowledge the team that worked Valentine's Day, they treated me so kindly and took care of me in every which way. All I got was a cup of rice and I felt like I was treated like royalty. Everyone was so polite and kind. I hope the owner/manager is able to acknowledge the team that worked Valentine's Day 2026. read more

Not much to say and yet I do tend to go on and on - it happens. Anyway, sometimes I'm just craving a late-night snack and you can get one here. I always order the California roll - light, calorie-friendly, and I have to say it's always excellent. I not only have to say it, I said it. Always fresh, always tasty, and just a perfect late-night bite to eat without killing yourself with fatty meats or fries or borscht. Highly recommended by the likes of me. I have nothing further to say. Perhaps someday I will. read more

I've had Lala Sushi before for takeout, and it was amazing then--but dining in the other night took the experience to a whole new level. My girlfriend and I were blown away by the service. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, kept the table spotless, and even rearranged the plates in a way that elevated the whole experience. The way she set the table made it feel like we were dining at a five-star restaurant--it was thoughtful, elegant, and really stood out. The food? Just as amazing as always. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everyone there was super friendly, and it's clear they take pride in both their food and their service. Lala Sushi is truly one of my favorite go-to sushi spots. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent sushi spot located in in studio city. Funny because we had picked another spot to eat at and we arrived right when the kitchen closed. So I looked at few other options,,,, which let me tell you there aren't many options for restaurants after 10pm out here. We found LALAs and decided to give em a try. I'm really glad we came here because everything we ordered was beyond delicious. We tried a few rolls from the menu. They all hit the spot. We all were satisfied with the food, the hospitality, the ambiance.... EVERYTHING WAS SUPERB read more

Probably the best of the AYCE sushi spots in the area. The amount of toro you can get with your AYCE is probably the number one perk and makes the premium up-charge worth the extra $10. On the downside they definitely have a lot more rice than a place like Here Fishy Fishy. So it's a step below that. But the actual fish is on par if not better probably. Some people have had service complaints but I found the people who work there to be cool. They also have a 2 hr time limit as opposed to an hour and a half vs other spots. So you can actually relax a little more and take your time. Premium AYCE Dinner with sake and tea and a 20% tip was about $100. That includes up to 12 pieces of toro, which imho makes it downright reasonable. The toro was melt in your mouth delicious and not the super cheap shit some places pawn off. I'm a fan and considering the shitty neighborhood you have to deal with for Here Fishy Fishy I'll probably brave the extra rice to come here more often than not. Also it wasn't packed full with an hour+++ long wait like HFF. So that's a plus as well and it definitely has a nicer vibe and ambiance than a place like HFF. 4/5 read more

Found this place randomly and I'm so happy I did! Seriously the best customer service and food. One of the best things about this place is that they're open late. We ordered the garlic edamame which was delicious. We also ordered the crunchy shrimp tempura roll, pink diamond roll, and albacore with crispy onion. We absolutely loved everything we ordered! The quality of the food is amazing The place is very cute inside as well read more

Service 1000% They treated me like I was a family member and it was my first time there at 11p on a Friday night! Had just flown into BUR and wanted a sushi snack before heading to Woodland Hills. The ikura was delish The salmon skin hand roll was ok. Skin cooked well and not too greasy. Too much rice! And only a few threads of cucumber and avocado. Luckily no eel sauce. Could have been better The prices were a little high $10-11 for each of the two items. It's more than I usually pay for the same items at other restaurants But the staff, omg, they were amazing. I left something in the car and they were so trusting to let me take everything with me... not asking to leave a card first. read more
