Maybe not the freshest sushi that we ate. But with this price tag, it's totally acceptable. We tried the 12 piece sushi combo, chicken bento, ramen and chicken karage. All tastes pretty decent. They have outdoor patio and indoor seating. Spacious seating. We came on a weekday lunch hour, so the restaurant is not too busy. Public parking at their back, $1 for the first 90 minutes. Very reasonable in the neighborhood.

I love getting the "THE NOZAWA TRUST ME" and treat myself when visiting LA ($48 for dinner and fullest of the pre made omakase menus | $40 at lunch). If there is a fish you don't love, you can ask to substitute. But I highly recommend you try them all. The fish is so fresh, I love eating there the most because the fish is super cold, and the rolls are crispy hot on the outside and cold inside. BUT, their to-go and delivered options are just as nice and very well presented (see my pics). It's a must when visiting LA!!

Nozawa's mission for the last 40 years has always been to bring traditional Japanese sushi to America. Sushi nowadays is more common but Sugarfish is still around and has expanded greatly. There is a free parking garage about 2 blocks away and we came on a Tuesday where it was still pretty busy for lunch. The sushi could have been better, while the fish and rice were good the amount of salt and wasabi was wildly different, sometimes having too much or too little. The rice was also inconsistent, some of it falling apart on the plate and not properly pressed together. 2 of our group had the tasting menu and it took a very, very long time for them to get their orders. A la carte was way faster and I was about halfway done with our food before they started getting their food.

We got the five hand roll order and it was incredible -- I genuinely still think about this place. They had a bunch of different options for fish and all of them were incredible. The tuna and salmon were probably my favorites. The crab was my least favorite and kind of gave me the fish ick. If I didn't eat that crab one, I probably could've kept going. The rice was so warm and the fish was so fresh and the Nori was so crispy that it genuinely was incredible. The wasabi and ginger were also very good.

Love this place and agree with all the reviews but don't want to add ammunition to make it busier…read more I live a block from this place and am so happy they are here. So sad that seems like the world knows and it is a madhouse around lunch and dinner time. People regularly park in front of my house a block away to go here. I highly recommend the sashimi counter and they also have great bentos but you have to wait a bit for them to put them together. Also if you're a regular bring your own bag so you don't pay the extra $.10 and save the environment a little. You can also pre-order party platters. Also if you want full sashimi selection don't come toward end of day as they'll run out of things. They refresh their rolls almost hourly so everything pre-made turns over quickly and is super fresh unlike the markets where it's more like 1x/day. Biggest ask is to pace yourself on how often you come so it's not so crazy every time I go.

Nigiri (5/5): we ordered 7 different kinds of nigiri and they were all thick cuts of high quality fish. Overall I highly recommend Mikomi Sushi if you're craving sushi in the Santa Monica area. All the employees were so friendly and provided excellent customer service. They also have a fun robot that brings some of your dishes out to you.

I decided to go with the Bento box with an extra side of nigiri. The nigiri was good: good ratio or fish to rice and the sushi itself was tender and tasty. There is an additional charge for the nigiri and salmon; $30 for a bento box is a bit on the high side but a location in downtown Santa Monica implies higher priced items.

The Dine LA menu was $45 for the tuna tataki, sushi plate with a choice of baked crab roll or spicy tuna cut roll, and a glass of wine, beer, or sake. I chose the baked crab roll and sake. The nigiri pieces were seasoned well so extra soy sauce was not needed. I liked the real crab in the baked crab roll. We also got a chocolate lava cake that definitely oozed out chocolate goodness. While it was a fun, delicious dinner, it wasn't very relaxing. Parking was also a pain.
