    It was delicious. The service was fast and it was a fun experience. It is located inside central market and it was definitely a great choice.

    SushiRush set
    Alex J.

    Every moment I spent at this spot just brought me down one star after the next for this review. I stood in front of the cashier for probably 10 minutes before I was acknowledged by the woman working behind the counter. It seemed like she was making a shaved ice dessert so I didn't expect her to drop that and come take my order, but at least say something to a customer waiting right in front of you. Once I ordered and sat down, I noticed how filthy the counters were. Sticky, sauces everywhere , food crumbs, hairs, sticky sauce bottles . . . it was a mess. Not a care in the world and absolutely no standards for a sushi restaurant. When my order was handed to me, the napkins wrapped around the chopsticks were all wet and dirty because the girl didn't clean her hands before giving them. I ordered the Sushi rush set ($25) and added the Salmon with lemon and Toro with caviar ($13). I don't know what was wrong with all this fish but none of it was fresh. By some miracle, it wasn't fishy or smelled funky so I figured I'd be okay to eat it. Every piece of fish had the same taste. That taste? Nothing. There was no taste. And the texture? Every piece of fish had the same, oddly mush texture. The rice was hard, falling apart, and tasteless. Since sushi is supposed to be framed around the rice, you would think the rice is the most important factor. Doesn't seem like it here. The cuts may look beautiful and you think you're getting at least decent sushi. But nothing about this is good. $50 down the drain. Having eaten sushi at everywhere from supermarkets to michelin star restaurants here in LA and in Japan - Sushi Rush won't be on any of my must visit or return to lists.

    All Salmon Zukushi
    Linda H.

    Located in Grand Central market in DTLA, a very popular and freshly prepared sushi spot, Sushi Rush. I tried this during Dine In LA and was pleasantly surprised. I had the all Salmon Zukushi with melt-in-your mouth salmon prepared and served in a variety of ways. Seared, as nigiri, as sashami, and as a hand roll. For Dine In LA, you also received edamame. Service was good and the ambiance was the usual grand central market bustling.

    The service was friendly & speedy despite the stall being packed. The matcha latte was not over-sweet & tasted deliciously earthy. The 2 combo plates we ordered were a well-priced tasty treat. All the nigiri were very fresh & the little taco-like handrolls were stuffed. 4 stars instead of 5 due to my single disappointment with the blue crab roll.

    Rushroll set 3pc

    I got the Rushroll set 3pc and it was so good! I wasn't sure I would like the scallops roll, but it was my favorite of all three! The girl at the register was friendly and service was fast. I had an underwhelming sandwich at another location, but these rolls definitely made up for it. It was a little difficult removing the plastic from the nori, as it all fell off, but I appreciate how crispy it was. 10/10 I will definitely come back.

    Was really looking forward to this spot because of the good reviews and photos! It's located in Grand Central Market and has counter seating so it's fairly casual. I got the 5 piece rushroll set at $30, making it more expensive than Rol ($26 for 5 rolls) and Sugarfish (most rolls are in the mid to high $5 range). Given the casual take out vibe of the place and the hands off service, the set was definitely a bit expensive but I chose to get it anyways because it looked so good in the photos. The second I opened the box, I knew something was wrong because of the strong fishy odor. Rolls all tasted bland/one note. I couldn't say these rolls necessarily tasted bad or like they spoiled but the smell and lack of flavor was shocking.

    This place is not bad; it's definitely better than grocery store level of sushi. They got the process pretty down and set. Slices of fish are already precut, and they use a machine to mold the rice for nigiri. Not bad. Fish quality was enjoyable. Even the lean cut of fish like tuna didn't smell bad or taste off which is great but that doesn't mean the fattier cuts like salmon where super amazing, they were good. . The machine does make nigiri on the larger side but not bad. I think this is a solid choice for sushi if you are at Grand Central Market but ofcourse there are far better sushi places out there. Happy hour menu is weekdays 3pm - close.

    Crispy tuna rice was definitely crispy but a little too hard in some areas. I did like how it was cut into 4 pieces to make it easier though. I also wouldn't say this is authentic but it is good. 7$ though!!

    Sushi platter.

    After an afternoon of walking around our city, getting shot at with rubber bullets by police, and building up a pretty big sense of hunger a few weeks back, my wife and I ended up at the Grand Central Market and figured it was time for some sushi. We were here on a Sunday night around 7PM and the hall was pretty slow compared to usual. We've walked by this place dozens of times and even though I always thought the prices were on the higher side, I was very interested in the quality of sushi. We ended up just ordering one of the sushi platters so I honestly have no idea what was even served to us. On it, five different types of sushi were sprawled in front of us and I was honestly a fan of every single one of them. Was it the best sushi I've ever had? No, but the fish tasted fresh, the toppings were good, and the rice below was good as well. It was a tasty platter of nigiri and I have no complaints. Overall, Sushi Rush was a solid place to grab a platter of sushi to make us feel better and I can't think of a reason to not give it four stars. I didn't personally interact with the staff, but the screen allows for easy ordering, the food didn't take long to get prepared, and the sushi itself was very enjoyable. At the Grand Central Market with a craving for sushi? I know a place.

    Mango shaved ice 9/10
    Tammy W.

    Ordered on the screen and it was quick and easy. No sushi for me today but the mango shaved ice was delightful! It was so light and fluffy with the perfect mango "sauce" compliment. Super refreshing and satisfying. Enough to share with a friend!

    Regular party plate
    Katherine B.

    I am giving this restaurant 5 stars mostly because of how much the owner cares about his restaurant and providing a great experience to customers. There was a discrepancy about my order, and he reached out right away to try to clarify and rectify the situation, which I deeply appreciate! As for the sushi itself - this is a really solid casual option. A great option in the Grand Central Market itself. Seating is limited, so be aware of that. They have a solid happy hour menu! We got the pitcher of Sapporo for $18. Turns out there was a mixup so we had the party plate. My only complaint is that my rice fell apart on half of my rolls. Some of the toppings can be a little overpowering, but that's a personal preference because I really like the taste of the fish itself. The fish was very fresh, good quality. But every type of sushi was very unique. I had never had anything like that before. The extra flavor on top was definitely a new experience. My favorites were the salmon and tuna pieces. The rush roll was difficult for us to figure out the wrapping at first, but once we got it, we appreciated the idea of the rush roll with the nori being used almost like a tortilla for a sushi taco. The flavor for the rush roll was great! This was probably my favorite bite overall!! I would like to come back to try the scallop and the taro. Those two options look great. Please support this business. The owner is very kind and cares so much. DTLA and GCM is lucky to have them.

    5 piece hand roll set and the jumbo scallop.

    The hand rolls were very cleverly presented. The nori is still protected by wrappers you have to slide off. The result - a nice crispy nori that tears easily with each bite. $5 each for a sake and a beer is a perfect compliment to the meal. You're in the middle of Grand Central Market- which is a vibrant experience in itself. Accommodating & pleasant staff.

    Super easy menu, I love that they have sushi on display, thought that was cute. The man taking my order was super nice. Directed me where to get containers for my sauce. The sushi was so bomb and super fresh fish. I went back and ordered two more! I thought they had reasonable prices. For sure would come back and try different rolls.

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 I made reservations on the phone I asked about the latest reservation and confirmed 10 pm - however I asked if I could sit at the bar and they said not at that time since they closed at 11. 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.

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!
