16 Best Japanese Restaurants in West Hollywood

“Best uni in Los Angeles..“

“Great food, amazing ambience and outstanding service! Will be back.“

“Would I come back? Yes DEFINITELY! Would I recommend to friends? Yes DEFINITELY! Would I do a business meeting here? Yes DEFINITELY! Great for large groups as well. On my visits here, I only sat at the sushi counter. Amazing sushi with great rice served by Chef Tomo. Their sake list here is interesting with great variety and price points. Most of all, the chef and staff here are super friendly and helpful, and the ambience is perfect for any occasion. I will be back to try their hot food menu but what a great meal. Overall, the value is fantastic. Secret tip: If you eat at the sushi bar you can ask Tomo-San to do a sushi only Omakase!“

“First time visiting Ocean Sushi, I had the “Sensual Pressure Roll” and “Salmon Handroll” , The salmon, and spicy bay scallop which melted in your mouth. The rice was just perfect on all of the pieces, not overly moist, yet firm and unadulterated. The spicy tuna were mild spicy and fragrant, the fresh salmon tasted better than anything I've had.The blue crab baked hand roll had all the flavors and real non-imitation crab was something very unique and worth a try.And new menu called, “Caribbean Roll” were above average, fresh albacore sashimi with spicy tuna and my favorite crispy onion; with house sauce and garnish that added more texture and flavor.Lastly the toro sushi seems basic, but they prove how good they are, melt and fresh. they made a something basic into something extravagant.All the servers are welcoming and friendly. This restaurant will become most popular place in weho! I definitely coming back soon.“

“Very delicious sushi spot that just blends in with majority of the closed shops near it, especially since the entrance was roped off as if it was actually closed, from the outside.If you’re looking for a kikkoman soy sauce spot, this isn’t for you.Ordered two carpaccios, one with fresh wasabi and ponzu, can’t remember the fish, and another carpaccio, think either halibut or albacore, that had yuzu juice and mushroom and those two dishes were phenomenal. Every bite was simply amazing and irresistible. Great fish quality, not a single piece was questionable in appearance, texture, taste; the quality was delicious.The assorted tempura was crunchy, the batter didn’t disintegrate when you dipped it and didn’t break up when you were biting it. A delicious batter that kept its integrity and highlighted the beauty of each ingredient being used. Loved having a tempura mushroom and the white fish was a unique and different touch.The nigiri- where the begin. All of it was delicious. For a party of two, we each walked away with eating $190 each which is a lot for how much we ordered truthfully but because the quality of the food was better that majority of the places we had, it was worth it and can’t wait to go back. No alcohol either. It was a treat to eat here and treat ourselves. The most delectable and fragile scallops that just melt in your mouth, the albacore was a dance in your mouth as well as anything else that had a drop of yuzu on it. Ended my experience with uni and it was pure velvet. The most underwhelming item I ate was a spicy tuna since I was genuinely curious but I wouldn’t order that again and just stick with nigiri.Each nigiri order is 1 piece and sashimi is 2 pieces. Thank you Jinpachi for a cozy atmosphere and a delicious treat- can’t wait for more!“

“Best sushi house on this side of heaven and what tops that just a little secret the parking is free, no signs, no validation to park, Free! A trip for the free parking on Sunset on a Friday night brought a tear to my eye. Sushi ended up being the bonus.“

“Thought that the OG Austin location would be touch to match, but our expectations were exceeded! The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, quiet (on a Monday evening) and the staff is stellar. We sat at the sushi bar, which was perfect and had some nice perks but I found it hard to converse with our sushi chef without yelling -- personal opinion. The food was stellar but we didn't break the bank. Wanted to try everything, but we were so full, so we'll have to go back. They gave us some specials we didn't order, which was a lovely surprise. Everything was fresh and the flavors were deep, creative, and out of this world. It's nice to have a place like Uchi in a town with a thousand sushi restaurants because they really look to get creative with ingredients, but keep things familiar and comforting.“

“I love this family owned place! Great food and a great place to go on my lunch break“

“Excellent! Delicious sushi and good specials.“

“I call it comfort food but... i love unagi and this place does it as close to as in Japan... and for those not keen on unagi, there are other dishes very delicious.. their sashimi are fresh and the Homemade tofu is so refreshing and good.. most of all , i love the people there... so friendly and professional... a very pleasant place to go and feel almost like you are in Japan“

“This is our new favorite sushi place. It's a small place, owned by a family, authentic atmosphere. Not like the hip fancy places. Fish is super fresh, everything we had was amazing.Favorites are: Crunchy spicy tune roll, spicy tuna on crispy rice, albacore sashimi topped with crispy onion but so many more ate good.“

“One of the best both food and service. Highly recommended“

“They have been here forever.And there is a reason for that - some of the freshest sushi you can find.The owners are lovely people.And they cut no corners - if the fish they find that day isn't up to their standards they simply won't put it on the menu.You never know what kind of fish they may have on any one day.I go twice a week sometimes.All their cooked food is fantastic as well.Awesome all the way around.“

“Underrated small Japanese restaurant in a prime location. How could we be one of two tables during lunch hour?We enjoyed an excellently prepared selection of nigiris. The chef even included their special of whole edible crabs. The woman who served us was so thoughtful, to the point when I told my son to be careful of the hot soup, she said she added ice cubes to make it the perfect sippable temperature. I love this kind of care.“

“Came back from my vacation at Cancun and decided to stop by Niko Niko for dinner. I usually order a bento box but today after I saw they have a new happy hour menu I decided to order from that. The new updated happy hour gives very affordable prices. I ordered the 4piece beef Goyza which comes with spicy ponzu plus I ordered 3rolls which was Rainbow roll, Bake salmon roll, and lastly my favorite Hot night roll. Super delicious and fresh. I don’t remember his name but The guy server that works here is always so friendly. The food at this restaurant is always so fresh and tasty.Best sushi Ever!“

“Always amazing! I love coming here while visiting LA. I feel like the food is always the same which is huge. The only thing with the service this time was it was too many times asking us if things were okay. I almost couldn’t enjoy conversation with my friend because of it. Otherwise I highly recommend for the great food and loved sitting outside.“
