Very rude service, they keep changing the hours of closing. The sign on the door said open, the lights were on, the door was wide open, but the guys tells me they're closed and they close at 8:15 pm Don't see this place lasting much longer. If I was the owner I would replace the staff asap. read more

In person Scammers?? Came here today after an optometrist appointment, that's next door, for a light lunch before returning home. I live in the neighborhood and usually order online. Now keep in mind, it's EARLY. Like l, 10:45 am. I order a salad and a shrimp tempura roll. I am one person, after all. As I'm eating, the server came and says - "would you like to try ___." I didn't know if she said teriyaki, but I thought she maybe said bring my salad out with my rolls. Finally I settled on "warm saki" the accent was very thick but her eagerness to say "try" made me think she was offering me a sample of some sort or the things I ordered. These weird smelling balls come out. Apparently it's octopus balls? I now realize she's probably gonna charge me. Ok. I taste it. It's nasty. She comes BACK and asks "would you like to try miso soup"? It then becomes obvious that this is just an upsell scam manipulating the communication barrier. When the bill comes, I note I didn't actually ask for the appetizer. She says she gave me 10% off. Ok, $1 off an appetizer I didn't want or ask for. I'm out 9 dollars. A deal I guess. She says I don't have to leave a tip, I leave one anyway and tell her I don't need a box, she then asks "are you sure you don't want a box." This person is pushy and won't take NO for an answer. I take the box and throw the appetizer in a trash can on my way at out. read more

This is a solid option for a neighborhood sushi fix. The atmosphere is simple and clean, with a TV usually playing travel or food videos in the background. We enjoy dining in after a nice walk, though it's also very popular for takeout, especially since after 8pm, it's to-go orders only. The service is straightforward and efficient with a little smile, nothing particularly memorable or special even if you're a regular. You order, they serve, you pay, and you're on your way. For a family of four, it's reasonably priced at around $60-$70, and we typically spend under an hour there (the bench seating, and metal chairs isn't the most comfortable for longer stays). That said, the food is consistently good, and we've always had a positive experience. Our go-tos are: miso soup, crunchy roll, salmon roll, lobster roll, cali roll, vegan udon, tempura udon, and cripsy tofu, and hot/iced green tea. read more

Thought I would try this place again after many years. Last time found it really Meh. But the Uber Eats reviews for this place were crazy good. So I thought it must be better right? Sushi is pretty fresh. Biggest issue I have is their rice is either too much Vinegar or they add ginger. Either way I hate the taste of the sushi. Also, one of my rolls totally fell apart when I was trying to eat it. They also use really cheap fake crab.

I visited sushi 101 on a breezy and sunny Thursday. I initially sat outside and ordered some green tea, but soon found it too cold. Our server was very accommodating and simply moved our service inside without a thought. She was also extremely attentive and polite throughout our visit. The location is adorned smartly and minimally with pleasant and unobtrusive music - a great place to spend an afternoon. I had the sushi and roll box with a spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna roll was made well, and it complemented the salad in the bento box well. But the star was the spring rolls, which were crispy yet tender and had a fantastic umami flavor. I also tried my dining mate's lemon flush roll, which was not to my taste but was clearly made with a lot of love and was something I hadn't tried before. His Alaska roll, however, was buttery and moist, and the torched salmon on top adorned the roll perfectly. 10/10, will dine again. read more

I go to this place pretty often it's close to work . Today I was accused of ordering food and never picking up when I always go in person - not her fault for not knowing me- but the accusations wasn't fair and then proceeded to be rude when taking my order. And is often very rude when I've gone in person as well. Unfortunately I will no longer be going because of this service. read more

Wanted to try a new sushi spot and glad we gave Sushi 101 a shot! Lots of food came in the chicken teriyaki bento box (egg rolls weren't the greatest but generous to add 2). Would order from here again. All the rolls we tried were good too: -cucumber roll -dynamite roll (very filling!) -aloha roll -lemon flush roll read more

This place blows.. Staff was rude without cause. Nothing quite like paying for food, leaving a tip, and being talked down to as if we are some huge inconvenience in an empty store. Instead of talking down to patrons, telling them not to leave their plates and cups on the table, invest in trash cans. That way your customers can throw their trash out and you can throw your staff in there too. read more

The restaurant is dimly lit. It's an ok place to have dinner but not nice enough to have a casual date. The staff was polite. The takoyaki was really good, so I was hopeful for the sushi. Unfortunately the lemon flush roll was not good. The scallop was cooked but I probably should have asked. The biggest offender was the sushi rice. It was tasteless, dry, and slightly tough like the refrigerated sushi one would find at 7 Eleven. Might return for the takoyaki, but sushi is a no-go here. read more

Terrible customer service from the business owner/manager, food is okay but nothing exceptional.

The food was amazing and I had a great time! The service was pretty good as well. My only complaint was when we walked in there was no one there and we had to find our server. The restaurant also looks awesome with a bunch of posters. Overall, no complaints. read more

Sushi 101 is a small, cute Japanese spot off Robertson and Olympic. Being on Robertson Blvd, may be hard to find parking, but there is a plaza nearby to park or meter street parking. The interior is very aesthetic, channeling outdoor seating Japanese food spots. The service was only this one lady who was very friendly. I ordered the Unagi Roll and Chicken Katsu Bowl The unagi bowl was standard in a good way. Slightly pricier than what I'm used to. Unagi sauce was tasty, slightly more liquid than I prefer. The chicken katsu bowl is where I felt displeased the most. Coming with chicken katsu, rice, and salad, the bowl felt fairly cheap. The salad had no dressing, the rice did not feel fresh, and the chicken katsu was the thinnest cutlet I've ever eaten (picture attached). The only difference between the bowl and the plate besides the $2 extra is the 2 california rolls they give, which is definitely not worth. Overall, 3.5/10. Very disappointed with quality of such a staple dish. read more

HAIR INSIDE OF THE SUSHI FLIES ALL OVER Terrible. that's all i have to say. went with a friend and there was another group of people. the server took probably 20 minutes just to take our order and focused more on the other group. We ordered 3 rolls. the first roll that came was wrong, we told the server and she hesitated and said that it was from the chef. After she brought our food it wasn't terrible, but for the price it should've been better. my friend was sick after eating this sushi. read more

The bento box was delicious. I am giving this place 10 for the foods and services. Thank you for your service

The sushi was actually quite good. BUT we ordered the Sushi Combination - which is the chef's choice - BUT I asked what to expect - everything the waitress listed I liked, so we went for it. It was "to go", so we found out that the chef had put two egg sushi in our combo. I'm sorry, that is a rip off! The rest of it was excellent, but the chef knows that he is ripping people off if he shorts them by two pieces with the the egg, which is worth nothing. I my wife and I each took a bite of one of them and thew the other one out. Here is what bums me out. This is close to our home and we liked it. Why cheat a customer who could become a big fan? Sincerely, why do that? read more

Of all the sushi places nearby, please choose another spot. I just ordered $50 worth of sushi and for some reason my Sunshine roll looked like someone had picked the avocados off of it. I called them to ask what happened (like did the driver just pick it off while delivering it??) and the lady on the phone first was silent and not responding and after I kept saying hello, she gaslit me and didn't even try to understand the situation. Aside from the horrible customer service, the potato nuggets were soggy, tasted old, and they added eel eel sauce and spicy Mayo on it which tasted cheap. We had a side of spicy mayo and it was the blandest spicy mayo I've ever tried, and trust me I've had bad sushi. The California roll was distasteful. The egg rolls in the bento box tastes like they were frozen and heated up. Everything is overpriced for the poor quality. I'd give it three stars for food but that's knocked down to one due to the customer service. read more
