I'm actually done with this place. Seeing everything go up in price and down in quality is just not worth it any more. Even in one month the quality has gone down even further. Unfortunately I will never be back as I can get the same level of quality from the Ralph's sushi counter for a cheaper price. RIP to a real one.

The service is really friendly here. The pacing of this location is slower, but in a calming way. Food pacing is good between items. The quality of seafood is really fresh and tasty. Quantity is impressive for the price. The table I was in is next to a bug zapper, so occasionally, you'll hear a loud snap from a bug (it's hot and humid right now in LA). If you want a calm and a relaxing evening, this is a great location.

I stopped by Maki Noho for a quick lunch and overall had a pleasant experience. I liked the ambiance a lot because it felt clean, calm, and relaxed, which made it easy to enjoy a midday meal without feeling rushed. I also found the service to be friendly and attentive, and I appreciated how quickly everything came out. I thought the handrolls were good, but nothing really stood out to me. They were fine for a quick lunch, just not something I'd go out of my way for. I especially noticed that the lemon roll tasted too bitter for my liking, since there was a lot of zest that overpowered the fish. I also tried the spicy mushroom soup and a ginger tea, which I found to be safe and comforting but not memorable. I'd come back when I want something quick, easy, and reliable.

My favorite sushi spot. Everything is 10/10 delicious. HIGHLY recommend!! Also the best kimchi I've ever had!

Was looking for a new sushi place to try. Found Maki Noho and decided to try it. Ordered a few things this day including Salmon Nigiri, Tuna nigiri, and Yellowtail. I also tried the spicy mushroom soup and a baked salmon roll . The service is via tablets on the table. The owner's are friendly and attentive and add to the authenticity. The food was fresh and of great quality. The ambiance was clean and well lit.

Easy ordering

This was my first visit. Free parking garage behind the restaurant. Park in the spaces marked "Retail". Some sushi places are stuffy. There's a very relaxed feeling here. Self-ordering via consoles on the table. All of our food tasted great! I look forward to going back to try more.

Most everyone is aware that entrepreneurship is a striking challenge. Trying your hand at entrepreneurship as a restauranteer - is a whole other level of hardship especially in Los Angeles where the culinary scene is over-saturated and ever rotating. No one knows this better than the Oh family of Maki Noho. The Ohs originally entered the food scene in the Gaslamp District of San Diego.with a deli that unfortunately was forced to shutter after building owners wanted to renovate the space. This led to Mama Oh working at a Korean eatery in Ventura before the Ohs decided to strike out on their own and create their own space to tantalize taste buds. Their first endeavor was sadly, like some many others, shut down by Covid. But now, the Oh Family has overcome all these hurdles and launched Maki Noho. Maki Noho sits in a small strip plaza on Lankershim Blvd by Firehouse Subs and Pho Noho where Hoke Poke once held real estate. Can you expect a large, elaborate dining space with Maki Noho? Well, no. Just like the tight-knit Oh Family; Maki Noho is also small in square footage with few tables so it is not the most accommodating. And speaking of, the tables are so low that it feels like you are sitting in those Fisher Price color block plastic chairs. What is up with that Maki Noho?! Despite this, Maki Noho is clean, bright and inviting with its white washed walls and windows panels where you can watch Mama Oh herself cooking in the kitchen (Maki Noho utilizes her recipes!) Maki Noho is the home to sushi, nigiri, bibimbap bowls, kimchi rolls, pike bowls, etc. My party of two visited on a Saturday evening and was ready to feast to see what Maki Noho was all about. We started with Salmon Skewers as an appetizer and White Peach flavored sake to toast the night. The Salmon Skewers were delicious with a crisp skin and a light glaze dusted with herbs and the sake was peachy goodness. But let's get to crux of Maki Noho, shall we? For our dinner, we ordered a Rainbow Specialty Maki Roll ($16), Eel Maki (6 piece roll, $12), Salmon Maki (6 piece roll, $12) and 9 piece combo Sashimi ($29) with Salmon, yellowtail and tuna. They say you eat with your eyes first and Maki Tuna has that down to a pedigree. Each dish was minimalist and yet almost Feng shui in presentation. Artfully but delicately plated bright, fresh fish with just the art amount of accents to not overdo or outdo the fish, itself. Beautiful. Equally delightful was the actual Maki. One might expect sub-par sushi at a small eatery but Maki Noho does not mess around. The fish is fresh, delicious and all ingredients play off each other perfectly like a well-structured sports team. Maki Noho is ideal for Noho Arts District residents seeking sushi in a casual and fast environment. Also notable is the music selection blasting in the dining room. The Oh Family must be "down" with their West Coast gangsta rap because the playlist was bumping with Ice Cube, Tupac, Snoop and then some 50 Cent and Jay Z for good measure. And I'm not talking the radio edits but the unedited rated R versions. And honey, I'm not complaining because this is LA afterall; but it was certainly unexpected. Maki Noho is a lovely addition to the Noho Arts District by the Oh Family and is standout in the casual, fast-dining sushi dining space. Maki Noho is worth a visit... or three.

A Must Try Sushi Spot! Everything was absolutely delicious, and the owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming! The tuna, salmon, and other seafood were so fresh, tender, and had absolutely no fishy smell. They also have a great variety of drinks, and the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable perfect for having a conversation. I also loved that it's pet-friendly! The cleanliness and food hygiene were a 10/10. I was so satisfied that I honestly don't feel like trying another sushi place. Definitely recommend

Cute layout. Love that it's open late until 1030 (on a Monday!) and the food is fresh and tasty! Got spicy salmon poke and baked yellowtail collar. So so good

new favorite sushi spot! so cute and cozy inside, and the food was amazing - everything tasted really fresh and high-quality. highly recommend :)

Yellowtail cut roll
Nicole G.

I was very intrigued and impressed with the 4.8 rating on Yelp, I had to try. We were craving sushi and have been wanting to check this spot out since we've walked by numerous times. We were greeted upon entry and got to choose our table :) the wonderful woman who served us was so attentive and friendly. The shop itself is a bit small/narrow, but very clean and simple. There's good music playing in the background and ample lighting. Beautiful display of beverages and little snacks for purchase at the counter. There's even a glass wall to peek into the kitchen as they make your food. It looks very clean and organized in there as well, which I appreciate heavily. Reasonable & fair prices for their menu for the quality and serving you get. I'd like to emphasize that the hand roll is hefty!! It's stuffed yet tucked nicely. It's secure and definitely worth trying. I'm very pleased with the presentation and the taste. The seaweed isn't too waxy and not crumbly at all. It held up so well. $7 As for the rolls, they were extremely fresh and flavorful. The yuzu ponzu used for the yellowtail was excellent and really compliments the fish. It has a bit of a kick from the spicy tuna and jalapeño, but it pairs so well! Each cut roll was about $16-18 (don't quite recall) Again, I'd like to stress how friendly and welcoming the service was. I definitely will be coming back for more and more. I'd love to try their poke bowls and small bites.So convenient that they are open late as well. Please give this business a try if you're in the area or willing to visit and support. You won't regret it!

Second visit, equally as delicious as first visit!
Kevin A.

This place just got even better on my second trip there and that's hard to do because I gave it 5 stars on my first trip!!! Get the yellowtail belly!!!

Eric D.

Delicious food and very kind staff. A clean and relaxing environment with good music. It was exciting to see our food presented in the sushi boat! Will definitely be back.

I can't believe it took me this long to visit Kabosu!…read more I am also glad I made a reservation even though I was dining solo for an early Friday dinner, I arrived around 5:45 and the place was nearly full! All the staff was so incredible nice from the hostess, wait staff, bus boys and chefs! I love that they have nigori my favorite type of sake I started off with the salmon special which was amazing! Butter fatty salmon resting in a delicious tangy vinaigrette Next the negi toro taku roll - fatty tuna minced with green onion and combined with crunchy taku, one of my all time favorite rolls and this one was spot on The baked crab and salmon had delicious flavor but I think was a tad bit dry! Just a teeny bit more sauce would help The salmon and toro samplers were absolutely perfect. The buttery fatty soft melt in your mouth salmon and tuna pieces all with different toppings flavors and some being seared - I would come back just for these two plates. The salmon with shiso was my favorite from that tray and then the toro with quail egg, caviar, and gold was the perfect bite to end my meal!

It all worked so well together. I also got the Hama Chili nigiri and it was super different, in a good way. The red powder was something different I haven't tasted before so I can't describe it. The fish was buttery soft. So fresh and flavorful. And the Baby Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Cake was easily one of the best crispy rice dishes I've had. The ratio of spicy tuna to crispy rice was perfect and the portions were actually good too, which a lot of places mess up. Every bite was perfect. Everything tasted really fresh and looked pretty too. I want to come back with my sisters and see what they think

Absolutely amazing. Authentic Japanese food made with love. Everything made the experience great…read more Excellent service, cozy atmosphere. Everyone eating the food felt happy and relaxed. Ordered the Daichan special with option of chicken or beef teriyaki and I chose chicken. Special comes with shrimp and vegetable tempura and a croquet. Food was cooked very well but my favorite was easily the tempura. Such light breading and cooked to perfection. Next time I will order a whole side of this alone. 10/10 will come back again. Perfect for a light lunch or a bigger dinner!

This was my second time going to Daichan, but unfortunately it will be my last. Never in my life…read morehave I been to a restaurant where the staff actually waved me back over to complain about the amount I left as a tip. 1 Star!!! Two of the female employees approached me about my tip and hovered over me, pressuring me to change the amount. It was a small restaurant, so this created a very uncomfortable scene and made me feel extremely pressured and embarrassed. A tip is optional and should never be something a customer is confronted or pressured about. After this experience, I have absolutely no desire to return. Honestly, they were lucky I left a tip at all. Very disappointing experience, especially considering this was only my second visit. I will not be coming back.

We celebrated my birthday at Oku-Niku after a fun day at Theme park, and it was the perfect way to…read moreend the day with family! Making a reservation was very easy, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The restaurant is a bit dimly lit, but it really adds to the cozy and upscale atmosphere. One thing I immediately noticed was how clean all of the grills were. We chose the AYCE option (around $55 per person), and the pricing for kids was very reasonable. Our 5-year-old was charged a reduced rate, while our 3-year-old ate free, which was a nice bonus for families. The selection of meats was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. They do have a 90-minute dining limit and a surcharge for excessive leftovers, but that wasn't an issue for us because everything was delicious. The appetizer selection was surprisingly large. We enjoyed the beef fried rice, noodles, a sushi roll, crispy tofu, chicken karaage, and shiitake mushrooms. The crispy tofu turned out to be spicier than we expected, so just keep that in mind if ordering for kids. However, spice lovers will probably enjoy it! The chicken karaage was a huge hit with the kids, especially with the spicy mayo on the side. The shiitake mushrooms were also incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. We also ordered crispy rice spicy tuna, we loved it too! What really stood out was the service. Every server we encountered was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Instead of simply dropping off food and walking away, they took time to check in, ask how we were doing, and connect with us. That personal touch made the experience feel special. We only ordered water since we had already had plenty of drinks earlier in the day, but they offer a variety of beverages as well. For dessert, we tried the mochi ice cream special--two for $5--which was a fantastic deal. In San Diego, it's common to pay around $5 for just one mochi ice cream, so we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we chose Oku-Niku for my birthday celebration. Great food, excellent service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

I have had this place bookmarked for years because I am a bigger fan of Japanese BBQ than Korean…read moreBBQ. I know, scandalous, right? The place was also always rather expensive. However, it seems prices are not so high anymore, so we went. Sadly, the food disappointed for the most part. One problem is the parking situation. It is nearly impossible to find a spot anywhere near the restaurant, and the fact there are numerous other dining spots on the block only makes things even harder. When we got there we had a friendly attentive server. However, he switched shifts with another server moments after we ordered. That led to many problems. The waitress who took over was almost never in the dining room. Dishes we ordered were sent to a different table. A Shirley Temple drink was ordered and it took nearly 30 minutes to be made. This is ginger ale and grenadine. Except, it wasn't even ginger ale, because they don't have ginger ale. It was Sprite! Oy! As far as the food, one big problem were the awful dipping sauces. I don't think I've had a problem with the dipping sauce at many if any other Asian bbqs in the past. However, the missus hated the soy or ponzu based sauce and wouldn't eat it. I used it, but it was not good. The meats were totally decent quality. The problem is their marinade isn't a soy based yakinaku type sauce like most Japanese BBQs. It was Japanese barbecue sauce and it tasted like barbecue sauce. Not a great flavor. The prime beef fried rice, gyoza, garlic noodles were the better dishes, though none particularly impressed. The cucumbers were soaked in ponzu sauce rather than pickled like sunomono or in a spicy sauce like cucumber kimchi. It was unmemorable. The chicken karaage was edible but unexciting. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was good, but they went soggy very quickly, which made any except the first one or two eaten not very enjoyable. The crispy garlic jalapeno chicken wings were god awful and inedible as far as I'm concerned. I'm sad the place wasn't better. I wanted a place to go that hopefully was somewhat cheaper than Manpuku - the best Japanese BBQ in LA. However, I wouldn't return for any of this food, and I can't recommend it to anyone. Avoid or try at your own risk.

I'm not one to really write reviews but this ramen joint was by far the worst ramen joint i have…read moreever been to and i felt it was only right to write about my experience to warn future potential customers... Ordered spicy chicken ramen, crispy chicken, pork cutlet, and spicy tonkatsu ramen and nothing was edible.. First off, spicy tonkatsu ramen...chashu pork was overcooked and texture was very rubbery. It literally looked and tasted like a piece of boiled pork belly. Soup base was not the worst and but not the best. Second, my fiance ordered the spicy chicken ramen and chicken was super dry and worst part is the chicken tasted like it was spoiled. Soup broth also had a weird sour taste to it. Pork katsu side was probably the best tasting but tasted like the same katsu i bought from costco. Last the crispy chicken was overcooked, dry, and way too much batter on the chicken. Service wasnt the best. One server in the front but was overly loud and on the phone. Overall first and last time at this place. All the food was very subpar and even tasted like they gave us spoiled meat. Beware of this restaurant...
