    Tsukiyo Sushi was absolutely wonderful, though there was quite a wait. They didn't accept reservations when we went on a Friday night, but they were so accommodating with my request since we were there to celebrate my partner's birthday, and I wanted a private room that felt like we were back in Japan. You take off your shoes, and there is an opening where you can place your legs and feet underneath the table. I ordered the uni cream pasta for $19.00, and it was delicious and very filling. My partner wanted the bento box with 2 items, which included options for different rolls, teriyaki, and tempura. Service was excellent, and the vibes were so cool. I highly recommend it if you're in K-town and looking for delicious Japanese food. Parking is valet at night in a small but popular lot. We were lucky and found street parking.

    Sushi rolls

    Overall this place was solid! The rolls were great - the tables are fun (we sat in the section where you take your shoes off and sit in the lowered floor table. We came on a Friday night at 8:30p and were quoted 40-50 mins but somehow their reservation system glitched and we ended up waiting 1 hour and 30 mins. The staff was super apologetic and comped our appetizers and dessert. Honestly super nice staff and we felt very taken care of - Mary was the best! The only flag is that the table next to us were told by a waitress that they could get free ice cream with a review on yelp. But once they did the review and showed it to the waitress, they asked them to change it to 5 stars and it got uncomfortable. Valet parking in the lot! Also street parking on wilshire. Would come back!!

    Excellent sushi. Very fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Nice selection of beverages for pairing. Friendly and attentive service. Casual and comfortable seating. Strip mall parking.

    Saba bouzushi

    Came here on a Friday around 6pm and it was already packed. It's a small spot tucked in the corner of a plaza. They even have a Yelp Top 100 2026 sign so you know people are coming for it. We put our name down and waited about 30 minutes before getting seats at the sushi bar. We were starving so we ordered a lot for just two people. Started with the 12 piece chef's special nigiri which seems to be what everyone orders. For the price and quality it's a really good deal. We also added extra pieces like black cod, sweet shrimp, and scallops. Everything tasted fresh. The Tsukiyo roll was solid, clean and crisp. The uni pasta was super rich and creamy with a strong uni flavor. One dish that surprised me was the oden. Huge portion with a lot of fish cakes and a really good broth. The monkfish liver was excellent and came with ponzu jelly which was a nice touch. The Rolls Royce handroll (uni, amaebi, toro) was one of the highlights of the night. Super rich and loaded, hard to go wrong with that combo. I also got the saba bozushi which I liked, but it does have that stronger fishy flavor Iykyk. Overall everything tasted fresh and I can see why they got that award. Even though it was busy, service was still solid and we were taken care of. Definitely a legit spot and I'm looking forward to coming back.

    Came on a Tuesday night and waited about half an hour. Ambience is really bright and modern with a bar and private rooms / booths available! Josh was our server and he took fantastic care of us, constantly checking if we need anything and reassuring us when our orders came late + giving recommendations and overall being a really kind server! We ordered -- salmon nigiri x2: super delicious and fresh! toppings on top really elevated the sushi -- yellowtail nigiri -- house udon: a little fishy but tastes homemade! -- cinco de aburi: everything tastes a little smoked but a good way to get a variety without breaking bank -- smoke bomb: comes w presentation + rly good and a diff taste from what im used to! i would recommend this over the crispy rice tuna Overall, I totally understand the hype and looking forward to coming back! :)

    House oden nabe (fish cake soup)

    Finally tried the sushi here and omg I was blown away by how good it was! I got lucky and found street parking nearby. I ordered the cinco de aburi, salmon sushi, house oden nabe, and Death Valley roll. Omg the cinco de aburi was sooo good I ordered a second plate after I inhaled it so fast! The salmon sushi was so fresh and buttery too. Our table shared the house oden nabe and Death Valley roll - the nabe was so tasty, I'd def order this again next time! The Death Valley roll was good too but I'd order a diff roll to try for next time! Highlyyy recommend their cinco de aburi, it was so delicious! Can't wait to come back for this dish and try more things on the menu!

    Seating area
    Mary A.

    First time here and I LOVED it! Came around 3 PM on a Friday and was seated immediately. They led us to a unique room where you sit on floor chairs and take off your shoes, which made the experience really memorable. They do also have regular tables in the restaurant. Prices weren't bad considering the quality of the fish, and the rolls were excellent. I ordered the Vegas Roll and the Baked Alaskan Roll, both were super flavorful and delicious. Service was very kind and attentive. There's parking in both the front and back lots, but both were full when we went, so we ended up using metered street parking. Overall, definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Salmon collar
    Lin L.

    Ambiance: Beautiful ambiance. Very clean restaurant with Japanese interior. Seating options are booths, sushi bar or a beautiful private(ish) room where you sit down on the floor. Food: Appetizers: Fried squid - 4/5 Takoyaki - Out of this world perfect. I am super particular about takoyaki, and most places mess up the ratio of the octopus and batter (too little octopus and too much batter). Salmon collar: 5/5 Everything else: uni pasta, Bengal roll, uni sushi, ikura sushi, tobiko sushi The uni pasta's cheese flavor wasn't so prominent, which allowed the uni to shine. Ironically, it was less uni than Bengee Sushi's in Ontario but I felt the taste of the uni was more showcased here. The Bengal roll was perfect and had a great blend of flavors. What I enjoyed the least was the tobiko sushi - it was good, but I prefer masago. I think tobiko functions better as a garnish and isn't as tasty as a sushi by itself. The quality of all the sushi was A+. There are fewer rolls on the menu that don't have imitation crab, but the Bengal was one of them and we enjoyed it. Service: Wow, the food came out instantaneously. Luckily, there was only one table when we came. The servers were all very attentive and polite. Great service! The value for everything you get here is great. Affordable. About $200 including tip for our meal. Less expensive than Bengee Sushi in Ontario ($300). Parking: It's in a business plaza. You have to make sure you're not parking in a 15 min parking for the Subway or smoke shop. Otherwise, there are parking spots. We did pay a guy $4 for "valet" and he parked in the plaza. Inevitably, when we were leaving a car came and paid the valet to park in our spot. So, depending on how busy the parking lot is and if you'd prefer to just pay for the convenience... up to you.

    Honestly, not worth the long wait. Staff weren't very friendly and service is slow. Their menu doesn't list all of the ingredients and they don't bother to ask if you have any allergies. This is a serious issue and can cause a lot of harm! The complimentary edamame was nice. We got a few different nigiris, which were all really good. The rolls - mehh. Most of the roll options have fake crab in it, which I guess would explain how the rolls aren't as expensive as other places. We got the Bengal Roll (came with mayo on it, which was not stated on the menu, and we had to send it back because I can't have mayo. Was good, but nothing special) and the Aburi Tuna Roll (came with wasabi hidden away and I hate wasabi. It ruined the entire roll for me and I had a hard time enjoying anything after because I couldn't get rid of the flavor). What an unfortunate time. Getting 2 rolls with hidden ingredients in it and unfriendly staff made this place a huge disappointment. Not top 100 for me. Would give 3 stars if the staff was friendlier.

    Uni pasta
    Pam B.

    Was craving for uni pasta and we were at ktown again and this restaurant was one of the top choices in yelp. We arrived past 2pm and they told us they only have a room available and to my surprise it is a cute little room - hirigotatsu type seating. So you get the experience but you can stretch your legs. There's no sliding door so it doesn't feel claustrophobic, there's a call button if you need service. Since this is izakaya type they have cocktails and alcoholic drinks which for this visit I didn't try. I ordered my uni cream pasta, my son had halibut carpaccio and we are sharing 3 sushi items - albacore, yellow tail and kanpachi. We started with the carpaccio is good and fresh, the quality of fish is pretty good value based on the price points. My uni pasta is really creamy. Might be a little too dense for me. But if you like creamy ans rich then this is a good choice. Would definitely go back and bring my other son when we're in the area.

    Cinco De Aburi
    Eric Y.

    Definitely a place I would come back. Nice interior, clean sushi bartop, fast and friendly service. Lunch set was a great clue, Conco de Aburi nigiri was top tier, and the uni cream pasta is a must try.

    Lunch Sushi Set. Cinco de aburi.
    Itrun C.

    Absolutely fantastic place. The ambiance is really neat with private tatami rooms and showa era music. The tomago was prepared to perfection, and the smoked aburi was something really special.

    Mentaiko pasta
    Shirley B.

    Food: I came here for a long‑overdue catch‑up lunch with my college friend, who was visiting from Texas, and Tsukiyo Sushi absolutely shined. It ended up being the perfect setting too, since I also got to invite her to my upcoming wedding ceremony. We ordered the Sushi Lunch Set, which was beautifully presented, decadent, fresh, and full of flavor in every bite. The quality truly exceeded expectations, and it's a standout value in Koreatown. We also got the mentaiko cream pasta, incredibly creamy with perfectly al dente noodles. The highlight of cozy comfort was the oden nabe, warm, hearty, and balanced in flavor, not too sweet or salty. We were stuffed and so happy by the end. Price: Tsukiyo Sushi sits in the very reasonable range for Koreatown, especially given the quality and freshness of the dishes. The Sushi Lunch Set is priced at $24.99 and feels like a steal for how elevated it is. The pasta typically ranges around $14.99, still fair for such a rich, decadent dish. The restaurant generally stays within the $20-30 per person. Overall, it's an excellent value for high‑quality Japanese comfort and sushi‑focused dishes. Ambiance: We opted for the tatami‑style floor seating, complete with the leg‑well cutout, which made the whole meal feel like a mini escape to Japan. It was private, intimate, and perfect for catching up after years apart. The space is warm, quiet, and immersive, definitely worth choosing this seating style for the experience. Service: The service was absolutely lovely. Despite visiting on New Year's Day (1/1), the staff were open, gracious, and attentive. They checked in on us frequently, water always filled, dishes arriving promptly and beautifully presented. Everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. Parking: Koreatown parking can be a mixed bag, but Tsukiyo sits in a convenient area on Wilshire. Street parking is doable with some timing, and valet is typically available nearby, making the arrival relatively smooth.

Had already left when we noticed it. Also told us cake fee was $10, but ended up charging us $20. Food-wise, very hit or miss. The unadon, hamburger steak, and curry udon were all really good, but the yakitori skewers tended to be disappointing. The Tsukune was dry, the Negima was quite bland. The Miso Black Cod was also quite overdone, became quite rubbery when served and also was cold. Overall, I would not come back again, or recommend it. Given the price point, I expected that the food and service left much to be desired.

It was as good as I remembered, and probably even better. I can't imagine letting another eight and a half years pass without going back. The only negative is that parking is either difficult or $15, which feels bad in a pretty quiet residential area. Better to take a car in any case, so you can enjoy the extensive selection of sakes. We shared a full-sized bottle, I forget which but I think it was a junmai daiginjo, and it was lovely. Tsubaki is such a nice, welcoming little izakaya. Service is great, the atmosphere warm and easy. You just want to sit back and drink at a leisurely pace. The food is excellent, with a robust menu of creative Japanese food. We shared everything, starting with a stellar kanpachi crudo with ume ponzu, shiso, sweet onion and habanero pickles, and furikake. My favorite dish of the night was the tsukune katsu. I love tsukune, the tare-glazed chicken meatballs you'll find in any yakitori place. This was my first time having them in katsu form, panko-fried and served over cabbage with Kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce. The chawanmushi was delicious, silky steamed egg custard topped with Dungeness crab, truffle salt, and mitsuba. Likewise the kinoko tempura, an array of maitake, shiitake, and enoki mushrooms fried light and crispy, with yuzu shichimi and tentsuyu for dipping. We got a skewer of bonchiri from the yakitori menu, delightfully chewy bites of charcoal-grilled jidori chicken tail. Finally, a plate of yakisoba, pan-fried noodles with house-cured Peads & Barnetts char siu, pickled green garlic, and cracklin. We got the hojicha parfait, and it was more or less my ideal dessert. Roasted green tea soft serve with sesame black sugar burnt miso and candied walnuts with cornflake dust. Cold, light, sweet. I could eat a whole one by myself pretty much any time. After nine years in business, Tsubaki feels like an Echo Park institution, and the kitchen is as strong as ever. This was a wonderful dinner, one I hope to repeat soon, with more sake, more yakitori, and more hojicha parfait.

It's quite small inside and they happen to have a few tables outside. I have mixed feelings about the service though but it is what it is, just feel like we weren't attended properly and service was slower. The menu has tons of options, there is something for everyone. Unfortunately the rice balls I wanted to try were sold out for the night- which how do you run out of something popular at a 7 PM dinner? Anyway, we had the fried tempura, garlic fried rice, short ribs, and chicken oysters. Everything was delicious and I would get these dishes again. But my standouts were the short ribs, they were tender and the marinade was light and fresh. The fried tempura was another standout for me because the sauce paired so well with the lightly friend asparagus. And I'm going to to say the chicken oysters- I think they were grilled to perfection with a tiny bit of wasabi. It's so hard to pick, everything tasted amazing and you can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and well crafted with a beautiful presentation. I really enjoyed the food here and will be back to try more items.
