I haven't been to Roll Roll in years. Everything is so so so yummy. My favorite is the Oh Baby roll. We always order two because be love it so much. The only thing that was a bit strange is that the restaurant was playing gospel music... I didn't think that was particularly fitting but that is more of an ambiance thing. read more

This is not a good sushi spot. The miso soup is clearly store-bought, and not from a good store. The rolls kept falling apart, and I know how to use chopsticks so I'm not sure who they got rolling the sush but they need a slap on the face for this. I got the salmon skin roll, the shanty, and mackerel nigiri. Aside from the mackerel, everything was just bland, small and nothing special. Like everything just tasted like carnival cruise sushi made in mass. Except for the mackerel. Mackerel is delicious anywhere. My buddy treated me to thank me for helping him out with something, and after the 2 rolls I ordered, I literally didn't want to order anything else, since nothing was all that special, or good really. Also they don't serve sake. How you gonna operate a sushi restaurant and not serve sake?!? Service also sucked. There were 2 sushi chefs and 1 waitress. Since there's no bar to sit at, there was 0 contact with the chefs. The waitress didn't smile once, was hard to get ahold of (which is crazy for a less than 30 seat restaurant) and didn't refill my water once. The total came to just over $60 for both my friend and I, and while writing this review I realized they charged me for a coke I didn't order. Do yourself a favor, don't come here. Instead, walk across the street to Light and Healthy and have AYCE for barely more cash, with alcohol. I left hungry. Will not be coming back. read more

Roll Roll exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the incredibly friendly service stood out. We were warmly welcomed and invited to choose our own seats. Almost immediately, waters and complimentary miso soup were brought to our table--a thoughtful touch! The food arrived impressively fast after we ordered, and everything was absolutely delicious. The garlic edamame was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, the ginger house salad was vibrant and tasty, and the cucumber salad was refreshing. I especially loved the California roll with smelt egg, and the avocado roll was equally amazing. Prices were more than reasonable, especially considering the high quality and the fact that it's in LA. I'll definitely be back for another visit! read more

If you're anywhere near this place and don't stop in, you're making a mistake. Roll Roll Sushi is that rare combination of warm hospitality, culinary creativity, and affordable excellence that makes you want to gatekeep it--but it deserves to be known. This is a small, family-run sushi spot where everything just works. The prices are reasonable (honestly underpriced for the quality), and the service? Outstanding. The owner--who also serves tables--treats you like a guest in her home. She was so kind and welcoming, especially with our kids, that we left feeling like extended family. Food-wise, the sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our kids devoured the avocado and California rolls--no coaxing needed. As a self-declared ramen connoisseur, I have to say: the creamy vegan ramen blew me away. It was rich, balanced, and totally unique. You won't find anything like it in your typical ramen spot. Hands down one of the best I've had--and that includes some heavy-hitters in Tokyo and LA. This isn't a trendy, Instagrammable chain--it's better. It's a place where love shows up in the food, and the owner's kindness lingers with you long after the meal. Bottom line: Eat here. Bring your kids. Order the vegan ramen. And thank me later. read more

I ordered the lobster hand roll and a spicy tuna hand roll. Both were good but I initially went in because I saw a menu on Yelp had said hand rolls were $4. It must have been really old because the hand rolls are now $7 for the "basic" and $13 for specialty. I like that this place offers free miso soup, though. The service was great! I'd definitely go back. The ambiance reminded me of a small diner. read more

I love going to Roll Roll because their prices cannot be beat. The quality of the sushi definitely isn't Sugarfish-level, but it's good for a Friday night when you're craving sushi and don't want to spend $50+. The service is also wonderful, and their miso soup is complimentary! I tried the udon, and it really wasn't great, so I'll happily stick to ordering sushi next time! They accept Apple Pay and have convenient parking in the lot in front. read more

Wonderful family owner business. Not an all you can eat establishment but they have different price points at $7, $13, & $18. I got myself a combo box which comes with California rolls and you can choose two items. I chose the vegetable tempura and the egg rolls. The nice thing about this establishment is the Tax is included in all the prices. They also bring free miso soup with all meals ordered and they have free WIFI. What more could you ask for?! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back soon. read more

The service was top-notch and fast and they kept on coming back and asking us if we need anything just always great. They have been open for eight years and I don't know how I've never been to this place before, but I'm sure glad I came with my lovely wife on this beautiful sunny day. The ambiance and vibe of the overall place trendy and welcoming. The bathroom is well kept and clean, which is always a plus. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot so you should stop by sometime and try some of their sushi from roll roll you will not be disappointed. I guarantee you. Definitely bookmarking them in my Yelp Account to make my way back here someday soon. 100% recommend this place. read more

Not only did they over charge me for free miso soup that they already give as complimentary, they only gave me 2 spicy mayos when I paid for 4. Little ways like this are how some restaurants steal money from you. Was tricked out of $5 because of this. read more

Came here on a Friday evening since it had great reviews and our usual spot is currently closed. This is definitely our new go-to sushi place! Heads up that parking is very limited here! They are located in a small corner strip mall, with less than ten (10) parking spots. There are some metered spots along the street near and under an overpass. The lot had a line of cars coming out of it, but we quickly found a spot right near the driveway. We walked up to see a line of about eight (8) people out the door--this was the to-go/meal delivery lines. Only two (2) of the tables inside had patrons, so we were seated right away. The service was quick and attentive! I love the way they lay out their menu! They have rolls broken out by price (Basic Roll $5, Premium Roll $10, Special Roll $14) and there is a wide selection; all rolls can be made into hand rolls. They have standard teriyaki plates, noodles, and a range of appetizers. We started with the garlic edamame ($5) which was SUPER good. I also ordered the Sashimi Combo (12pcs: Tuna, Salmon, Albacore, Yellowtail; $26) and a Spicy Scallop hand roll ($5). The sashimi was very fresh and the pieces were a decent size for the price. The spicy scallop roll was very tasty, and stuffed with fresh spicy scallop, cucumber and rice. Mom ordered the teriyaki chicken and said it was very juicy and was a good portion. All of the food was a great value and quality. We left feeling very satisfied and excited to come back with bigger appetites. I can see why this place was so popular for Friday night dinner!

They gave me a great amount of miso soup, sauces, and utensils! Nothing else was needed. Now, the miso soup... it was sooooo gooooood. I thought it was just me, but all my friends were also in disbelief about how great the miso was. The rolls were very tasty, and they had a full amount of fish in each roll. Loved em all.

This has been on my bookmarks forever! My wife and I walked in, no reservations and they seated us…read morepretty quickly. Excited as I was, I'm glad we came here, Michelin star says it all. One of the best sushi spots I've had a in a while actually. We didn't really do any appetizers and went straight in for the fish. Started off with a couple of hand rolls, we did the crab hand roll and O toro hand roll. Crab hand roll wasn't as impressive, I've had better to be honest. I didn't let that experience ruin it for me because the toro hand roll was delicious. I think they add a piece of mint and it complimented the hand roll. Very crunchy nori wrapper and good rice to fish ratio. For our sushi we started with chu toro tuna, salmon belly, and halibut. Super fresh melt in your mouth quality. Halibut was interesting with the truffle, first time definitely won't be the last. We ended it with red snapper and black snapper. Absolutely amazing, I think the black snapper or the red snapper was slightly charred. It was so good. To say the least, this restaurant was worth it!

When we arrived, there was a couple coming in at 10 and sat at bar...maybe just miscommunication but tha could have prevented us from consuming our food quick and skipping on alcohol since the table we got was not the best. Sushi felt very fresh and there's something about the way they make the rolls that feels different about other places (not sure if in a good way) Great staff and sushi chefs- they were super fast moving from one course to the next one.

A modern take on omakase that is Sushi Kaneyoshi's fun nightlife counterpart. Hosted in the same…read morebuilding (the same fishy smell permeates the space) at an intimate counter for about 10 guests, the decor of the space is less sterile and clean and more jazzy Tokyo hipster. While the fish quality here is great, you will get more bites that seem a lot more experimental with flavors and garnishes. I didn't like every single bite but I expected that. A lot more focus on creative cocktails and drink pairings instead of just sake or wine. This is a great place to try Japanese whiskey, they even have little lockers where regular patrons can store their expensive bottles they've bought for when they return, and you are welcome to grab an additional drink and chill in the space afterwards if you'd like. The chefs here were a lot more personable and fun with more of a bar vibe than a traditional omakase. Service was great, dedicated bartender was great, and though it's not the best sushi I've ever tasted, I would still bring someone back here for a unique experience. Brought my friend here for her bday and we left full and happy and a little drunk so I'd say it was a successful night!

Great food! Great crew!…read more However, they allowed 2 obnoxious couples to just make it for an uncomfortably loud dinner. Thai is not how an omakase experience should unfold. Such a shame because otherwise it would have been a great experience. But I cannot excuse them for allowing these other guys to just behave so rudely, like Neanderthal, and not say a thing.

Service: Servers were nice and knowledgeable of the menu and explained the AYCE policy before food was ordered. The food is ordered on a tablet with an hour and a half time for AYCE and a wait timer of 10 minutes between orders so do NOT order one at a time. Food: The quality was good considering AYCE. You have an option of 3 menus ranging from $29.99 to $59.99 with the basic one having only sushi and the other two having BBQ as well with more premium options of meat cuts. Personally think the fish is more than enough but if you really want meat you could get it as well.

Amazing homemade tofu, Tempura is lightly breaded and fresh and just flavorful!…read more Sukiyaki was also good. Attentive service.

The last time I was in Little Tokyo in L.A. was 1996 - just before a six-week trip to Japan. So I…read morewas eager to return and wanted to find the most authentic Japanese restaurant in the busy, crowded, and somewhat commercialized tight walkways of Little Tokyo. I turned to Yelp for help and that - as always - was the right move! Izakaya Gazen is a chain, originating out of Tokyo with locations also in Honolulu and Little Tokyo, L.A. It's got the true feel of an izakaya (Japanese pub or if you read the Japanese characters, Stay-Drink-Place). The name Gazen refers to the chain and the "Gazen style food - approachable and shareable. Izakaya Gazen is known for its house made creamy tofu, often eaten with soy sauce and wasabi - and it was very delicious. Unlike the izakayas I visited in Japan, I didn't have to remove my shoes here - kind of nice, but I miss the true Japanese tradition. One tradition I appreciated was the large format Japanese beers (we chose Asahi) and the small, chilled glasses to pour into. I haven't found this Japanese touch on the glasses anywhere else in the USA. Usually, I have to ask for an old-fashioned glass or a juice glass and the servers just don't understand that this is how you drink from a large bottle in Japan. As with all Japanese dining establishments in Japan, you're warmly greeted the moment you enter, by the sushi chefs and the servers alike with "Konnichiwa!". It's a cultural thing in Japan and one I wish was more prevalent in the USA. Our server was delightful and seated us at a window table. We examined the excellent menu and went with two offerings - the Chirashi Sashimi Bowl and the Tempura Bowl - both served with a small sample of their creamy tofu, a tray of appetizers, miso soup, and a salad. A really good value ($32 and $25, respectively). I rated both of them five-star for presentation, taste, and the very fresh nature of the food. It was an outstanding hirugohan (lunch)! There are lots of great places to eat in DTLA, but we're seriously considering another visit to Izakaya Gazen this evening!

Spent a lovely, relaxed evening at this sushi spot…read more The ambiance stood out right away--clean, calm, and just the right amount of atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy your meal, and have a good conversation. The food was consistently good. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a few signature rolls that felt thoughtfully done without trying too hard. Service was another highlight--easygoing, attentive in a subtle way, and never intrusive. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that a few dishes didn't quite have that "wow" factor. But sometimes, I appreciate a place that simply gets everything right without overcomplicating it. Definitely somewhere I'd return to--and perhaps bring the right company next time.
