    They don't have much as far as gluten free but the sashimi is safe to eat and I'm excited about it! Bf is ordering temaki aka hand rolls. We are sitting at the bar upstairs with a view of Fairfax blvd. The music is very lively and so is the ambience inside!! The fish is premium and they have kimnedai hand rolls and sashimi. Satva is their sister restaurant downstairs. My hand roll was EXCELLENT and I love the truffle oil mixed in.

    Angel was a fantastic server. He really took care of us. He was very friendly and made the experience even more enhanced for me and my partner. Everything we got was recommended by Angel and we would wholeheartedly rated a 10 out of 10!! We'll be back, most definitely! The fish was super fresh and just melted in our mouth. This is a must try hand place in Los Angeles.

    3.5/5 ... it's delicious and beautiful aesthetic with the rooftop patio but honestly imo... it's nothing out of this world ahhh dunno if i'd come back but i'm glad to have had a great experience here and enjoy the food and drinks, just not up to par with my tastes

    Spicy crispy rice tuna & spicy salmon roll
    Kathy X.

    I ordered Sora off of Uber Eats and they were doing a buy one get one for their spicy salmon hand roll and their spicy tuna crispy rice, so I gave those two items a try. There's nothing super special about the salmon, the fish is OK, I do wish that it was a bit spicier, and that they didn't use the suite, Unagi sauce, and something else. I do like their crispy rice, again. The tuna was not that spicy, however, the flavors were pretty good. It also traveled fairly well, it was still pretty crispy by the time it got delivered to me. They also didn't provide any wasabi or ginger, which I thought was kind of weird.

    Mostly impressed with my temaki except the scallop one. Hokkaido uni and ikura were my most favorite for fresh, flavorful, and creamy without fishy smell. Spicy lobster and Kumamoto yellowtail were tasty too. My least favorite was scallop because with this price, I didn't expect scallops would be cut into pieces. Service and atmosphere were nice.

    I went for dinner here with the understanding that we could order off this menu and the one fountains at their sister restaurant Savta. When we arrived they made it clear that we could do that but we had to order the majority from Sora. Sora does tiny 2 bite sushi at a high cost. Their chef is adamant about no ingredient adjustments which is unfortunate because he uses a lot of eel sauce and won't allow you to order without it. The presentation is fancy but don't come here hungry unless you're willing to put down a lot of $ for a meal. I would say there are SO many better places to check out in the area. The food we tried, while small was ok, but it did not blow us away.

    Sora provides an elegant rooftop temaki experience that blends quality fish with stunning views. Our party ordered the popular, recommended rolls like the Kumamoto red snapper, scallop, spicy bluefin tuna, and toro truffle jalapeno which tasted fresh and exciting. I enjoyed the crisp nori alongside the fresh wasabi to pair with the rolls. The spicy bluefin tuna and scallop rolls stood out most as they were a combination of slightly sweet, savory, and having a clean texture. The service was great, but the wait was 40 minutes within an empty restaurant.

    I love a low key ambiance and solid hand rolls. Sora is a great addition to the Farmers Market! It's located on a rooftop and you enter through Savta, making it feel like a hidden spot. Their handrolls are pricier for the size you get, but the fish was definitely fresh. I'd recommend ordering 3 for a snack or 5 for a light meal. I enjoyed the salmon truffle and the trio the most. Kumamoto red snapper was too salty for me but it seems to be a favorite. Overall it's a nice restaurant away from the hustle and bustle at the Grove!

    i visited Sora months ago and I thought I made a review but it disappeared. Last visit the drinks were amazing but the food was lackluster and hard to enjoy given the plastic we needed to take off of each roll. Now they have revamped the serving style. Rolls come deconstructed with seaweed on the side. I prefer this to the plastic but at this price point creating my own roll feels wrong. I ordered 5 rolls, 1 was great, 1 salty, 1 super sweet, and 2 mediocre. Always great service and ambiance. Cute date spot. As in drinks and a few rolls for an appetizer prior to going to your actual dinner reservation. Tip: If you're not already at the Grove/Farmers market skip entirely but it's cute option if you're already paying for parking.

    The trio

    SOOO GOOD. Randomly came here during lunch and it didn't disappoint. Located above the restaurant Satva and it is front facing the parking lot of the Farmer's Market. Cute but small spot. I enjoyed being able to see the Farmer's Market clock tower from where we were sitting. Ok the hand rolls are amazing. You build it yourself. They present you with the inside of the handrolls that come on these lollipop sticks, then you place them in the crispy seaweed, take the stick out, and enjoy. My favorite ones were the TRIO (uni, caviar, toro) and the KIMEDAI with yuzu kosho. I think what really impressed me was their side of wasabi which was Kizami wasabi. It's marinated and chopped, almost pickled like wasabi, rather than the typical wasabi you get that's made from powder. Service was kind and prompt. Shoutout to Mari! One star off because I thought the edamame portion was small and I personally don't prefer when the rice on the Crispy Rice is fried. But that's just my personal preference!! The food is amazing. Worth the visit!

    It's a cute rooftop handroll bar nestled in the outer corner of the farmers market at The Grove. It's nice that they validate parking if you park at the lot (not the garage parking). We came for a late lunch on Saturday and luckily it wasn't busy so they were able to accommodate our larger party with no wait. Service was friendly and vibes were good. Our server gave us a tutorial on how to form the handroll since the seaweed comes separately for freshness. The fish was fresh and everything comes pre seasoned so there's no sauces to add. The rice was different than your typical sushi rice but it was complementary to the fish! My favorite was the Toro Truffle Jalapeño temaki but the Kumamoto Red Snapper was a close second. The temaki was smaller than I expected (size is roughly a loaded nigiri). The crispy rice tuna was good but one of the pieces was a little more toasted than the others. We ordered those to share amongst the table so the uneven doneness was noticeable. I would probably come again for the toro temaki or to try the trio, but I think for the price, there are better options available that would be more filling or have more standout flavors.

    I took my partner here to celebrate pre-Valentine's Day and our experience here was absolutely incredible! Food: 10/10! My partner and I started with 3 temakis each, but actually went for a second round as it was so delicious. The highlights for me were the Toro truffle & Red snapper! The lychee martini was also amazing. The cucumber salad must be slept on, it was different compared to the cucumber salads I've had before and I loved the yuzu taste to it! Service: 10/10! My partner and I were running a bit late because we couldn't find parking and a nice lady called us to confirm our spot as we reserved the rooftop view. I told her our situation and she said she was saving our spot. Once we arrived, we met with her and she showed us to our table. As we got to the table, we were greeted by our server Angel. Angel is the definition of an amazing server! My partner and I asked him for recommendations and he was very attentive to us even when he had multiple tables to take care of. The other servers were also very kind and checking in on us to make sure my partner and I were alright and were on top of taking care of dirty dishes. At the end of the day, my partner and I confirmed that the service here was the best we've had in a very long time dining out. The experience was just absolutely incredible and I really needed to highlight this. Ambiance: 9/10. We booked the rooftop view and the rooftop was nice as there were also heaters so that we wouldn't get too cold, but the rooftop experience only really showed views of the Writers Guild of America building and a Trader Joe's. Don't get me wrong though, it was still a nice experience! Overall, my partner and I are definitely coming back here because everything was absolutely amazing as well as the service! We can't wait to be back and try out their sister restaurants!

    You're paying for this view basically

    Located at The Grove in the Farmers Market area, Sora is a hidden gem tucked away on the rooftop. It's a cute, slightly divey temaki sushi bar with a great vibe definitely a cool spot to impress a date. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the handrolls had that perfect crisp seaweed wrap. Everything tasted great, but the portions were on the smaller side and a bit pricey (they've got to pay that Grove rent somehow). We came in the evening and had a beautiful view while sharing a bunch of handrolls. Our server was super nice and attentive. I left a little hungry, though, so come here if you're not too hungry and just trying to impress.

    Definitely had a 5/5 brunch trip to Saltie Girl. We had a party of 7 for Sunday brunch. 1130…read morereservation with no issues. We were waited on by Alex and he handled the table nicely. He was informative about our selections giving honest feedback and attentive to the needs of our group. I will say the food not inexpensive but what food really is these days. We ordered a plethora of dishes. Starting with the tuna neck tin. While I'm new to the tin game, I couldn't imagine what a $90 tin tasted like, now I know and I'm not sure I can eat anything less. Appetizers we started with the baked scallop special with chorizo, the caviar fries and the caviar dip. The baked scallop was delicious and the cause dip with the salt vinegar chips was fantastic. I could still dip more chips in that dish. I chose between the mussels and the fried fish sandwich. Alex recommended the fish not because it was better than the mussels. But because you just can't get a fried fish sandwich like theirs. I agree. The fry breading they have is top notch and the size of the sandwich literally has me full still 7 hours later. I substituted the fries for a lightly dressed side salad and loved it all. Besides, other folks had chips and fries to share. Other dishes were the fried and cold lobster rolls. The bagel breakfast plate and fish and chips. We even got dessert which was the pistachios tiramisu and the strawberry cake. Both good but the tiramisu was next level. All washed down with a winter sangria Maybe that's why I am still full. See you again, saltie girl.

The first bite gives you that textbook contrast chefs chase: a thin, savory Maillard snap, then cool, silky flesh that still tastes of the sea rather than smoke, which tells me it was hit hard over heat to render the skin and pulled off at the precise moment before the proteins tightened. Grilled lemon halves, their edges caramelized, are doing real work here--squeezes of that charred citrus cut through the fish's natural oiliness--while the thin ribbons of pickled red onion and peppery microgreens supply the bright, acidic punctuation that keeps the palate moving. Slices of avocado act as a soft, creamy foil, lengthening the finish without smothering the fish, and the halved cherry‑tomato salad looks lightly dressed so you get clean sweetness and a crisp counterpoint rather than a soggy, overdressed side. From a technical standpoint I appreciate the fundamentals: even scoring or oiling of the skin to prevent sticking, careful timing so the flakes separate cleanly, and a sparing hand with seasoning so the brine of the fish isn't lost under salt or heavy sauces. Many places feel compelled to gild seafood with every trendy condiment; here, the restraint is refreshing and, frankly, rarer than it should be. Service matched the cooking: friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to steer us through the menu with solid recommendations, which matters when a kitchen is doing delicious things well. The restaurant itself is calm and clean, a peaceful setting with a bar that lets the food speak, and last time I was there they were in the process of securing a beer and wine license--good news, because this kind of balanced, grill‑forward cooking benefits from a thoughtful pour. In short, this meal stands out because it trusts the ingredient: confident grilling, smart acid, and honest accompaniments that clarify rather than compete, leaving you satisfied and already thinking about the next visit. As for the house-made salsa: stainless ramekins on a white plate, each with its own tiny spoon - bright yellow emulsion, lacquered dark reduction, smoky-red chile purée, and a chunky herb relish. The emulsion is silky and tangy, perfect for cutting fat; the dark sauce is sticky, umami-forward and built to cling; the red one carries smoke on oil and is medium-hot; the relish snaps with fresh acid and crunch. Important heads-up: one of these is a ghost-pepper style salsa - extremely spicy, slow-building and long-lingering, so use it as a finish, not a dunk. Execution is tidy: no broken emulsion, measured viscosities, portioned so flavors don't bleed - practical, disciplined work. In an era of one-trick "house sauce" laziness, this quartet gives you tools, not excuses, and it elevates whatever's on the grill without stealing the show. I'll definitely be back here!

Another 5 minutes later and we were seated. It took a while for a server to get to our table and when he did, I think he was upset he had to be at work? Or maybe it was us- but we had just been sat and didn't say any words? He was not the kindest or the most hospitable server. In fact, our food runner gave more warmth than he did. After he took our food orders, I don't recall him even coming back to the table other than to drop off the bill. If he had come back, we would have asked for another round of cocktails and another bottle of mineral water... but he did not, so we did not. Our appetizer dishes stayed on the table after being done with them and even *through* our main courses. So at the end, there was a massive amount of dishes on the table to be cleared. What was particularly annoying was watching how the other servers nearby were interacting with their tables. One even had to break the news to the diners that they were closing and as he did, he seemed genuinely sad over the shared moment but also very lively and that he wanted to be there. I wish he was our server :( I was interested in desserts or finishing with something sweet, but the thought of being ignored for a while longer was too much. I had ice cream at home. We left and quickly made our way into the awaiting Uber.
