Valentine's Day at Red Fish truly felt like a couples' holiday. The entire atmosphere was centered around celebrating love dim lighting, full tables, and that unmistakable date-night energy. It was a beautiful place to spend the evening. As soon as we walked in, we were seated right away, which I appreciated especially on such a busy night. The restaurant was packed, and for a short while we did feel a bit forgotten but once things got moving, the service flowed much better. Because it was so busy, it's not necessarily a place where you feel individually catered to during peak holidays. One small suggestion would be for servers to introduce a popular or featured dish upfront to help guide guests when the room is full. That said, the food and drinks were really good and absolutely worth it. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. I do wish I had tried dessert I'll definitely save that for next time. Overall, it was a lovely Valentine's experience, and I would return for another special occasion.

We've been meaning to try The Red Fish for a while but never got around to it until now, but I'm so happy we did! I read all the reviews and decided to give it a go and it did not disappoint. There really is something on the menu for everyone and there wasn't one thing we didn't enjoy to the absolute max. I've eaten at so many sushi places in LA, and I'm not joking when I say this is some of the best nigiri I've ever had; shockingly fresh and succulent. I can't wait to come back and try the Bluefin tuna rolls , I could eat this sushi everyday. If you still have room for house made dessert, do not skip it; the cheesecake was excellent and the crème brûlée was to die for. The service is excellent and the environment is so nice. Special shoutout to Hunter who really made our evening super fun and relaxing. Do not sleep on this place, it's amazing and we'll be back with friends and family.

I can't never say no to caviar and gold flakes on my sushi rolls! When driving on Melrose and craving seafood, we stopped by the Red Fish for their upscale seafood and sushi options! We got their: Japanese Salad Yellowtail Carpaccio Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Golden Roll Lemon Roll BTS Roll Matcha Tempura Ice Cream Yuzu Whiskey Sour Every single thing we got was delicious! My favorite rolls were the BTS and Lemon Rolls, and I could probably eat another plate or two of their Japanese salad. The spicy tuna crispy rice came as expected, and the yellowtail carpaccio was light and refreshing. They have a great selection of cocktails to pair with your meal, and you need to get their tempura ice cream for dessert. It's a great spot to go for a relaxed date night while enjoying some cocktails and elevated sushi rolls. There's a decent amount of street parking around, but they also have valet when it gets busy. Definitely recommend stopping by!

This review is for the social hour only. We dropped in early on a weeknight and ordered several food and drink items from the "social hour" menu. It had quite a good selection for a happy hour, and very good prices. The outstanding items were the spicy scallop hand roll, the spicy tuna cut roll, and the fried tempura branzino bites. The branzino was very lightly breaded and fried to a nice crispy texture without being overly oily. The one miss was the fried calamari which had a much heavier breading. The rainbow roll was fine but I've had better. The service was very good. Granted there weren't many people there at such an early hour (5pm) on a weeknight, but Patricio the bartender was super nice and attentive. The restaurant underwent a major renovation and recently opened, and it shows.

9/10 Overall: I really enjoyed the food here; the fish was incredibly fresh, and everything tasted amazing. The ambiance is also beautiful, very intimate, and perfect for a celebration or a nice dinner with loved ones! My bf and I came here for our anniversary, and they gave us a dessert on the house. It was wonderful! My only concern was the service; it was a bit slow considering there weren't that many people at the restaurant. It took us quite a while to get the bill and leave, especially since we were trying to catch some 4th of July fireworks and ended up missing them :( Bluefin tuna carpaccio $32: 5/5 My favorite thing we got! So fresh and yummy, no fishy taste at all! The slices were also pretty generous. Toro tartare with caviar $32: 5/5 Super fresh, the avocado was amazing as well! Came with four chips which went perfectly with the tartare. I wish they gave a little more chips though! BTS roll $25: 5/5 Generous portions of salmon and tasted sooo yummy. Again, fish is so fresh you can really taste the quality! Good rice to fish ratio. Lamb chops $65: 4/5 Lamb chops were very tender and the purple potato chips paired sooo well with the lamb! The chimichurri was also delicious but I do think its a bit pricey for 3 small lamb chops. Spicy tuna crispy rice $25: 3.5/5 I wish the rice was a bit crispier. The amount of tuna was very generous though and again, very fresh fish! Truffle fries $18: 3/5 I'm not a super big fan of thicker fries, I wish they were thinner and more crispy! I didn't taste much truffle either, I wish there was a bit more flavor. Lava Cake: 4/5 Comped by the restaurant for our anniversary! Super cute and was yummy. The ice cream came half melted though.

Happy hour (social hour) is amazing! The rock shrimp is one of the best I've ever had and the sushi is so fresh. Sat at the bar and Patricio was so kind and efficient. This place is such a gem, will 1000% be back

SEXY ROLL
Adriana G.

YUM! Food, ambiance, service -- all amazing! Very intimate, dimly lit restaurant perfect for date night or a special occasion! Red fish margarita -- sooo good! Very refreshing, light, and cool bubbly presentation! Lemon roll -- delicious!! Please order if you like citrusy sushi! Albacore carpaccio -- my favorite! The crispy onions and hidden jalapeños were the perfect combination! Lobster ravioli - delicious sweet potato sauce, but we do wish the serving was larger! Nigiri -- yum! Sexy roll -- refreshing and great choice if you don't want a roll with rice! Mashed potatoes -- crispy onions?! Genius! Filet mignon - tender, juicy, and perfectly roasted and charred on the edges! Totally recommend visiting this spot! It's a little on the pricey side, but it had a great variety of foods if you and your partner are split on what to eat! Everyone was also very kind and professional, which made the experience much more enjoyable!

This is a very nice restaurant in West Hollywood. The food is very pretty and service is exceptional. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it for a celebration. Fish sushi are good and cooked dishes are very good. I won't recommend A5 wagyu since it's very chewy and not melt-in-the-mouth like other places I've tried. They have happy hours that save quite a lot for the appetizers.

Sushi!!!!
Desiree D.

Literally the best sushi in town! I love the Red Fish! We order from here at least once a week! The fish is so fresh and delicious and the sushi actually tastes good when you bring it home. So excited about this place!

Rachel K.

This spot is such a gem! Not only is their food amazing, but their social hour is insanely priced! Hunter is the best waiter, ask to sit at his table! Thank me later.

Oysters
Margarita T.

Amazing! Very good service! Friendly hostess, waiters, and bartenders. Their happy hour menu is really great and has many options. Carpaccio was delicious! Oysters, hand rolls, and rolls are yummy! And yes! Cream brûlée is... something out of this world! The restaurant is clean, fresh, and comfortable for a date and for a party as well. The only issue is parking. Unfortunately, during my visit, I had a quest to find a parking spot. Hopefully, next time, valet service will be available.

Valentine's Day, heart shaped cheesecake.

I've been to the Lucky Tiki in HLP and finally had the opportunity to check out the WeHo location…read more The occasion - my "brother's" birthday. We had reservations for a Sunday night and were seated at the best table in the house. This speakeasy cocktail lounge is small & dimly lit, which creates a cozy & intimate atmosphere. The Polynesian inspired décor is on point. Bamboo beaded curtains, thatched lamps, tropical prints, & an eight-foot tiki statue add to the charm. Our server Sean was fantastic with a capital F! He entertained us the entire evening. Of course, Tiki cocktails served in kitschy glassware are the main attraction but they also offer Island inspired dishes if you are hungry. (You can also order food from Tail O' The Pup downstairs.) The building was once the recording studio for The Doors, so we had to order The Ghost of Jim Morrison. Sean delivered the flaming drink while singing a Doors tune. Elvis in Hawaii arrived on a platter with an Elvis head on it. Lucky Tiki Old Fashioned was presented in a treasure chest with smoke coming out of it. The Flying Fish came in a cool Blowfish vessel. The Lucky Mai Tai was one of the best, the Classic Daiquiri was nicely balanced, and the Rum Barrel packed a punch. All the drinks were tasty and strong so we ordered a few nibbles: Coconut Shrimp, Lucky Orange Chicken, & Wok-Fried Chow Mein. The food was yummy and hit the spot. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the presentation of the drinks and ambience. Thank you Sean for making our visit to Lucky Tiki a 5-star experience. *Metered street parking.

I love a tiki bar (usually a wine drinker, but a dry martini or a good tiki drink, will speak to me at times!) and this place does not disappoint. Service is easy and the vibes are so fun. They have fun gimmicky drinks (Captain's Inner Circle!) and the old stand bys (exceptional Mai Thai.) The decor is also so fun (Jim Morrison's old studio) and you can order hot dogs from downstairs. Only reason they aren't 5 stars? They implement seating time limits, even when it's not super busy. I 100% understand they have to have turnover, but I would gladly pay a little extra, to hold a longer reservation! Street parking, but don't drive...get a driver or a Waymo!

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!
