Izakaya Osen on Sunset is definitely one of my favorite sushi spots. I found this place on one of…read moremy sushi ventures and I'm so glad I did. I love that they were able to substitute imitation crab for real crab because I don't do imitation crab. So when I can get a California roll with real crab, I'm getting it. It's such a simple roll, but so yummy! I'm a nigiri girl, and let me tell you the fish here is just so delicious, fresh, buttery and melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. And the best seat in the house is at the bar watching the sushi chefs do their thing, the whole vibe is just great. It's perfect for lunch or a nice date night. I do recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends. Definitely worth it

The menu is very long so you can go with someone who doesn't like sushi and they will be able to find a delicious meal. I would recommend going with a larger group so you can try many different dishes. We have great service and the restaurant was clean. We will go back but not as often as some other places due to the price. However, the nigiri was worth the price!

This is a new Japanese kitchen with delicious Japanese food! When we wanted something new to try,…read morein the vicinity of where we were, we opted in for Japanese food and this place did not disappoint. From the clean, open dining area, to the excellent service and friendly staff, the first time experience was memorable. Let's dive into the food: Crispy rice topped with spicy tuna was amazing. I've had this type of plate elsewhere and don't get me wrong, they were good too, this one was definitely on top. The spicy tuna was fresh, the rice was crispy, soft, crunch wasn't over hard and it was cooked perfectly. Miso butter ramen - tastes exactly like the name. Great aroma, buttery and miso taste. Not overpowering and spice level was on "3". If you like spice without sacrificing the taste, 3 is perfect. Kimchee ramen - I really enjoyed this one. I opted for the kimchee on the side as I was told it could be very strong inside the broth once it settles in. It was the perfect blend. Side of crispy kimchee with the umami flavor of the broth paired so well I was surprised. Probably my favorite. Baked salmon roll - this, was another show stopper! Perfectly rolled, chefs did an outstanding job with presentation and the flavor, yet again was perfection, Overall, will come back for the ramen and rolls. Definitely worth trying if in the mood for a nice, ramen / sushi dinner (at least that was for us). Kudos !!

Crispy gyoza 3/5 - good presentation, i didnt feel any meat inside a meat paste rather, and the sauce was oily and pretty spicy. Not the best. Just ok Baked salmon roll 3/5 - again weird tasteless balsamic vinegar type of sauce, average rice, good salmon, good presentation Eel sushi 4/5 - good big crispy eel on a mediocre rice Wasabi was not spicy at all, sauce containers were too big. Everything needs polishing here and there The service was good and the food was served quick. Food is 3/5. One and done to me

Couldn't stop thinking about the spicy tuna so I had to go back for a date night with the hubby. The music is always great, and the ambiance is dark, cozy, and romantic, perfect for a night out. It gets packed quickly, so I definitely recommend making reservations. We got lucky and walked in without one, but we were seated right in front of the entrance. I didn't mind, though! There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but I personally prefer sitting indoors. The food is delicious! This was my third time here, and I always order the Spicy Tuna Hand Roll... it's definitely a must-try. The Budognochhi, Negima, chicken wings, and Curry Pan are also really good, although they tasted a little salty during my third visit. Maybe it was just me, but either way, I still love this place! I also loved the scallops dish. They had this really good Caesar salad but menu is always changing. Drinks are so cute. Don't steal their cute cups or else they'll charge you lol. Come on guys you are adults now... just go to daiso and buy one. Budonoki is a great choice for a romantic date night, girls' night, or any fun evening out.

Our order included an entire bottle of sake, shaki shaki salad, tebasaki (lemon pepper wings), katsu sando, filet o fish, yakiniku steak, and a chocolate butter mochi. So filling and a great price split between four people. We arrived at 8:30 pm on Friday and paid a decent $13 for valet to sit at the bar. I loved the intimate setting where we able to have great conversations amongst ourselves and the staff. The staff were so friendly and made our first time even more memorable with their recommendations and conversations. We absolutely loved the filet o fish and the lemon pepper wings! They also do a Sunday sake school at 4pm so we are excited to go because the price is more than reasonable and the professor in charge of the class seems very knowledgeable. I am excited to come back during a dodgers home game for the home game specials!

The Skytree roll is my dream sushi roll. It has seared albacore, and filled with crispy asparagus tempura and avocado. It's topped with chili crisp and served with a side of spicy, tangy ponzu sauce. I also loved the various sashimi options and the red snapper nigiri. Also the tempura is a MUST TRY here (get the pumpkin/kabocha at least). I'd say this place would be good for families and small parties. They have a kids menu and beef/poultry/pork options as well. I would love to try one of the desserts next time!

We stopped by on a high 90s high humidity day in LA and had to wait a bit outside in the heat. Was so looking forwarding to stepping inside only to find out that it was only mildly better temperature wise. We had already waited and were seated so decided to stay but it made for a quick meal (maybe that's their tactic lol). I ordered the miso carbonara and it was good - not too salty - but the portions were tiny! I would say it's close to half the amount of the frozen udon blocks you get at the supermarket. Nice chew and flavor but almost like an appetizer for $17/$18. I do really like the food but would probably either not wait or grab another noodle place nearby. Feel really bad for the workers who have to work in such hot conditions.

For food, the 4 of us ordered the Japanese Caesar, Japanese latkes, bean tempura, pork shoulder skewer, cabbage skewers, scallop skewer, mushroom skewers, and chicken skin skewer. Everything was absolutely delicious, but my favorites were probably the Caesar salad, tempura beans (served with a garlic confit and anchovy mayo), mushroom skewers, and the pork shoulder skewer. While the latkes were good, I do feel that $28 is a bit steep for 2 small latkes, even if they come with salmon and roe on them. While unique, I would not reorder them for this reason. I also felt the same about the salad at $25. Again, both were delicious but prices were a bit high for the portion sizes, especially given that there's a 4% employee surcharge on the bill at the end anyway. For drinks, we ordered carafes of 2 sakes - the hakurakusei "the conoisseur" and the kaze no mori "white label." The hakurakusei was my favorite (light fruity flavor) and paired insanely well with the mushrooms. The kaze no mori had a much more neutral and clean flavor and went very well with the pork skewer. For dessert, we shared the hojicha parfait. This was a hojicha soft serve (chocolatey vibes) layered with what I believe was a sesame toffee. Super good and a relatively light way to end the meal, especially when shared with friends. Overall, we had a great dinner. I would recommend for a nice weekend night out or a date night.
