Found this place on yelp! Food and service is great! They give you the option to sit in a traditional table setting or the room (you will have to take your shoes off before entering). Servers were such great and were very kind. Food was great! Lemonade and Arnold Palmer drinks were very refreshing. Would come back for lunch time again. read more

Tsukiyo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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! :) read more

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! read more

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. read more

Tsukiyo Sushi - Seating area - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tsukiyo Sushi - Lunch Sushi Set. Cinco de aburi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

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. read more

I've been here several times and each time hits! This is my favorite sushi place in Koreatown. Everything is so fresh, tasty, and aesthetic. The staff is responsive, friendly, and very approachable. I've gotten the chirashi bowl, the crab sushi, the lunch set, etc etc and genuinely everything was a 10/10. When I have friends visiting or if they are craving sushi, this is the place I recommend. It's a smaller restaurant with a high attention to detail, authentic vibes, and delicious food. And everything is priced very affordably. What more can you want? P.S. There is a free parking lot for easy parking. If you can't find a parking, there is a lot of metered parking. I have never found myself looking for parking long. TLDR; Definitely stop by here at least once! I am confident it'll become one of your go-tos. read more

Tried Tsukiyo Sushi recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant was definitely a nice spot for dinner with friends or a casual date night. We came on a Friday night at 5:30 PM and there wans't a wait, but I heard it does get busy. Food: Dinner Set: (4.5/5): Amazing value! For dinner there were 12 pieces for $35, but for lunch it's 10 pieces for $25 which is even more of a steal! The fish was fresh and the presentation was really nice. However, some of the nigiris were "fillers" such as tamago and ebi shrimp head. Essentially, you're really only getting 10 pieces. Nonetheless, still amazing value and a steal overaall. Uni Pasta (4/5): The pasta was very delicious, but was not what we expected. The uni flavor was pretty subtle and the pieces of uni were smaller than expected. That being said, the pasta itself was still super flavorful and enjoyable. It was also only around $20, so honestly still a really good value for the portion and quality. Location & Vibes: Really clean, modern, and trendy interior without feeling too over-the-top. The vibe feels upscale but still comfortable. Parking in Ktown can always be a little annoying, but it was manageable with valet for $4. Overall: Overall probably a 4/5 for me. Good food, cute atmosphere, and a fun spot to try with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want a solid sushi dinner. read more

What felt like a quick flight to Japan. You're greeted by the entire staff upon seating, which is also traditionally floor level in the larger rooms. Main room offered high top tables and chairs. The food was great. I loved the mackerel though I wasn't a fan of the halibut. My partner enjoyed their chicken teriyaki bento box. Had the house hot sake which was tasty. Everything was great and typical LA prices. I'll be back! read more

Tsukiyo Sushi - Sushi plate - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Large selection of choices with excellent quality plus very reasonable prices. My only issue was the shrimp they use for the tempura. It seems they use shrimps preserved in sodium tripolyphosphate. They often used by some restaurants because of the lower cost and artificial crunchiness. Unfortunately STP is also commonly used in detergent. It helps seafood retain moisture but yields a weirdly artificial texture and a bit of funk. This is a pet peeve of mine. I'll be back for sure; but, probably not for the shrimp tempura. read more

This hidden gem is absolutely phenomenal. Quality of fish is beyond words, some of the fish (if not all) is exported from Japan! Their sushi set is the best deal. $24 for lunch with miso and salad, amazing. We went after 3pm so paid around $36 and it was still so worth it. Their uni cream pasta was packed with umami and a great comfort meal. Their fried squid was so good as well. We were seated in the rooms and they were Japanese style, no shoes. Such a unique experience. Go here, you won't be dissapointed, it is a smaller place so expect a wait during dinner time. read more

Very good value for the money. Their sushi lunch special is really good price for what you get, and the fish is pretty fresh. I've also tried their chirashi bowl, and I enjoyed it. They don't give you a ton of rice, but it is well seasoned for the chirashi bowl. For their sushi, I feel like the rice was OK. We tried couple of appetizers, ankimo liver and fried eggplant, both were good. They also brought out the miso soup, but it was lukewarm and not very good. Didn't have very deep flavor. Service was nice, but they did have an error on the order (brought extra sushi set instead of the chirashi bowl we ordered) I'd say this is definitely the best sushi restaurant that I've tried in Ktown. It is a great addition to my K town list when I have to take my Mom out for lunch, so I hope to be back sometime soon. read more

Tsukiyo Sushi - Chirashi bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My boyfriend and I were in the area and were craving sushi. I've had this place on my list for a while so I figured we could try this place out especially since they have good lunch and dinner deals. We got there after 3 pm, so we had just missed out on the $25 lunch nigiri combo meal. We ended up getting the nigiri dinner combo, which was $35 dollars for a 12 piece plate of nigiri, miso soup, and a black sesame dressed salad. We were really hungry and didn't know how big the nigiri combo would be, so we also ordered the gyoza, fried squid legs, the Philadelphia roll, and a spicy tuna and yellowtail roll. The gyoza was my least favorite of all the items. It was a lot of food and we were stuffed by the end of the meal. I think next time we would get the two nigiri combo meals, and maybe a roll, and that would be perfect if we were hungry. Overall, it was a great deal, and the food was flavorful and we go good service. Our server was friendly and attentive. The place itself was super cute too. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

I saw this lunch deal for sushi set: 10 pcs sushi, 2 pcs futomaki for $24.99, I knew I had to stop by. The sushi set came with a fresh salad with an amazing sesame dressing. The miso soup was not too salty. The fish was so fresh in the lunch set. The futomaki was super tasty, I would have ordered a full roll. Parking was a little challenging, I did find street parking. read more

A low-seating, shoes-off sushi experience with truly exceptional service Came here to celebrate my brother's birthday and it ended up being such a memorable night. We had a reservation for 4 at 7:00 pm on a Wednesday. We were about 15 minutes late, and they were kind enough to hold our table. That mattered because this place is small, and they easily could have given it away. First impressions: The exterior and location don't really hint at what you're walking into. The parking lot is also small and packed, so plan for that. Once inside though, it immediately feels more special and intentional. We were seated at a modern Japanese low seating setup inspired by a chabudai table, and they ask you to remove your shoes. I definitely wish I would have planned for that because I basically had dinner with bare feet lol, but it added to the whole "this is an experience" vibe. (Pro tip: wear cute socks.) What we ordered: * Salmon crunch roll * Spicy tuna on crispy rice * Tsukiyo special roll (their house special) * Smoke bomb roll * Gyoza * Cinco de Aburi Favorites: The Smoke Bomb was the standout for me, not just for flavor but for the experience. It had a really nice smoky taste that felt unique and matched the whole vibe of the place. And the Cinco de Aburi? Whew. That fish melted in my mouth like butter. Easily one of those bites where you stop talking for a second. Service was the highlight: Truly exceptional. Everyone was friendly, warm, and super attentive without hovering. We brought a cake and they stored it for us, then brought it out at the right time. No annoying cake cutting fee, which I really appreciated. Overall: Great food, great service, and a community feel that makes it perfect for a birthday dinner. It's a little far for me, but I would absolutely go back. read more

Perfect small restaurant in the corner nook of the plaza. Came for their lunch special and everything did not disappoint! Fresh fish, great food, and amazing service! Could easily come back. Only downside of this place is weird parking scam. Paid $3 to park my own car (kept my own keys) in an empty space in the plaza. There was plenty of space since it was lunch time and not a lot of car or foot traffic but still had to give up $3 for "valet". Guess that's LA rules for ya. Would park on the side street next to plaza instead next time cause also free and a 1 min walk. read more

First time here and we had a great experience. Starting from the service to the delicious food!! We made a reservation for one of the rooms and I highly recommend it. You sit on the floor but underneath the table is leg space so you're not sitting Indian style. That made our dining experience even more comfortable. Jenni was our service and she was excellent. From her outgoing personality to her knowledge of the menu. She recommended a lot of really good items and we ordered them! We will definitely go back. read more

I can see why this place is 5 stars on Yelp. The place was small, but they offered private rooms. The prices for the foods were decent. If you're the type that likes to munch on different appetizers, this place is for you. The prices for the apps were great. Most apps were around $10 or less. I came here for the perilla pasta. Unfortunately, they took it off the menu. We got the uni pasta instead. It was $19.99. It was somewhat better than the one I had previously. However, it didn't really hit the spot. The uni flavor wasn't really there. It was way too creamy. The pasta was also not as soft as it should be. The chirashi don bowl was good. It had some premium sashimi. The sashimi was fresh. Presentation was not bad.. The rice wasn't the best, but not bad at all. We got the eggplant karage. Nothing special about it. The crunch was there, but the eggplants were very thin. The fried oysters were tasty. However, there were 2 pieces that were burnt looking. We didn't eat it. The Brussels were ok. Nothing to wow about, but nothing to boo about either lol I was looking forward to the monkfish liver. For $9.99, it wasn't that great. Honestly, this one didn't taste that fresh to me. The raw oyster and scallop were yummy. I would order more of it. We also tried the salmon & fresh eel sushi. These were yummy as well. Overall, a good place. Nice to bring friends and family to try. I m not sure why their drinks were overpriced tho. I think their matcha was about $16 lol I was so tempted to try it. However, no one else wanted to try so skipped on it. One major issue was the small flies. There were quite a few flying around in the private room. It was annoying. We were worried that it would get into our foods. They really need to take care of it. RR avail Valet parking but not really. They didn't park for us, but still charged $4. Service was good. Staffs always had a smile on their face. Sushi chef...no smile -_- read more

It comes with a tasty salad with their house dressing that is so unique, a delicious fresh miso soup, & 10 sashimis!!!!!! THE FISH IS SO FRESHHH. You will get the chance to taste a crazy variety of fish/eel/squid/octopus/everythinggg. Enjoy guys. read more

I was so excited to come try this place and I was sorely disappointed. The fish in the sushi lunch set was all marinated and slightly watery, so every slice tasted the same. That led us to question if their fish wasn't fresh or if they were hiding something, because why else would you not distinguish between salmon and tuna?? I think a lot of people just don't have experience judging good fish and thus get swayed purely by visual presentation. We also ordered a mentaiko pasta, which needed to be shared amongst everyone and consumed extremely quickly because it was so ridiculously rich. They should halve the sauce, because otherwise it gets old quickly. However! The bento box is a huge steal for the amount of food they give you! We got karaage + tempura (why was their karaage spicy????), but the portion was fabulous and it was definitely acceptable quality food. The plaza it's in is also one of the more questionable Ktown lots. The valet guy didn't help us park AND he basically demanded for the money and we were a little freaked out by our whole encounter. read more

I dined here for a second time today and it was just as great as the first time! No misses from what we ordered. At this point we've tried a lot of their menu items by my fav that we ordered was definitely the cinco de aburi - perfect amount and perfect flavors. Also loved the saba bouzushi, the scallop crudo, both the albacore and yellowtail carpaccio, and can't forget about the mentaiko cream pasta. The sake bomb w the crispy rice was also pretty good! Also want to mention that the sushi lunch set was so worth what they charge you get so much food! The servers and staff were friendly and attentive both times we've visited. Dining in the rooms makes the experience feel immersive and so cozy . Can't wait to come back and get cinco de aburi again lol read more

Tsukiyo feels very special. The general eating area is slim, but there are larger rooms for privacy. The staff is well trained checking in on us frequently and ensured that we had the best experience. I ordered the Uni Pasta, but the food came out so quick that I didn't get to it immediately, the server noticed and recommended that I mix it before the cream settled. This detail was so impressive. They really cared about enjoying the food properly. Finished plates were taken away quickly to make room for more. The sushi set dinner special is gorgeous. I want to bring my partner to try it for the lunch special price. My eating mate thought it was fantastic and varied. The presentation was phenomenal. This dish came with Miso soup and salad which is perfect. The agedashi tofu was delightful and reasonably priced with four pieces. The scallop crudo was okay. I also ordered the Cinco De Aburi which was delicious, but all the pieces tasted the same despite it being different fishes. Definitely coming back. Also, street parking wasnt too bad at 6:20PM on a Monday. read more

I ordered the sushi dinner set, along with the Albacore Crunch and the Bengal Roll, which is an absolute must-order. The Bengal Roll was the standout of the night: well-balanced flavors, fresh fish, and everything worked together perfectly without being overpowering. It's one of those rolls I'd come back for specifically. The Albacore Crunch was also really good--fresh albacore with a nice texture contrast from the crunch. We also tried the oyster crudo.Definitely a great appetizer if you enjoy oysters. Service was another highlight. Our server was genuinely kind, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Big thanks to Jenni! Overall, great quality sushi with some standout rolls and friendly service. I'd happily return, especially for the Bengal Roll. read more

I love sushi and decided to try this restaurant based on the reviews. It was interesting to drive in Koreatown and arrive at the strip mall where the restaurant is located. It looks deceptively small from the entrance but there are private dining areas on one side with traditional Japanese seating on the floor after removing your shoes. He didn't want to remove his shoes so we sat in one of the booth separated tables. We could watch the chefs making the sushi dishes and watch tv. The atmosphere is welcoming with the staff chorusing a greeting when you enter. We chose the shrimp and veggie tempura and the soft shell crab appetizers. Then the albacore carpaccio because the menu photo looked pretty. Bluefin tuna; uni; unagi and tobiko sushi. Tiger roll, angrytail roll and aburi tuna roll. Bluefin tuna sashimi to round it off. Of all the dishes the Tiger roll was our least favorite. It was a little heavy for us with the combination of salmon, eel, imitation crab, cucumber and avocado. We didn't finish the roll but I picked off the eel and salmon to eat. The angrytail roll was our favorite with yellowtail, spicy tuna and cucumber. The right combination of spice with the pepper on top and refreshing cucumber. The aburi tuna roll with seared tuna, spicy tuna and avocado was enhanced by the garlic chip on top. It just worked. Soft shell crab was not wow but satisfied my craving. He really like the shrimp tempura. Lightly breaded, allowing the shrimp to still shine. The albacore carpaccio was as tasty as it was gorgeous. Delicate and tender. The bluefin tuna sashimi were robust slices and smooth and silky to eat. No texture issues. I liked all of the sushi - the nice popping crunch of the tobiko, the soft uni, the sleek unagi and the fresh bluefin tuna presented an array of tastes. He liked the tobiko too. The presentation and combination of flavors was elevated which made for an excellent dining experience. We left sated and full. He was so happy he accompanied me on my food adventure. Servers were all friendly. Parking in shared lot. read more

Best sushi in LA that truly transports you to Japan. My friend and I are serious sushi fanatics--we've tried an obscene amount of restaurants across Southern California--and this has officially taken the top spot. We ordered a lot: * Sushi sampler * Two different spicy tuna rolls (one topped with yellowtail, the other with salmon) * Oysters * Scallop on the shell * Yellowtail & albacore carpaccio * Miso soup and green tea Every single bite was a 10/10--no misses whatsoever. The ambiance is also a standout. They have a traditional section where you remove your shoes and sit in private rooms, which really adds to the immersive, Japanese dining experience. One staff member did have an unnecessary attitude when my friend asked about seating availability, which was a bit off-putting. That said, our waitress Daiea completely turned things around. She was genuinely warm, attentive, and such a beautiful soul--she truly cared about our experience and made the night feel special. Despite that small hiccup at the start, this place is exceptional and absolutely worth the hype. We'll definitely be back. read more
