All the food was great and the service was very attentive. Highly recommend the lychee sorbet for dessert!Only downside is the place was pretty loud. Pretty casual vibe.

Great experience. The sushi was so fresh it literally melted in my mouth. Definitely going back.
Absolutely loved this place! Everything we ate was phenomenal, and the staff were kind and attentive. The owner came by to welcome us at the beginning of our meal and told us more about the restaurant. Can’t wait to come back and try all the things we didn’t eat this time!

Very nice restaurant. The owner was solicitous and took such good care of us.We had the omakase dinner, and it was fabulous. You know that each dish in omakase is specially prepared and you should not use additional sauce/spice. This was perfectly seasoned and a sensory delight.The little touches were terrific. The minute my tea was low it was refilled. Everyone was friendly and wanted to educate us on our dishes. The pace was leisurely and the food was great. 2 thumbs up. Try the wagyu.

Now starts to be one of my favorites. Great food, well cooked, reasonable price. Although some minor issues, like egg/tofu(? Not sure) with crab after sashimi is probably way too rich: prob some veggies/tea based soup would give a better pacing. But that's my two cents. Generally, a very great restaurant with good food and service. A little bit dark but it's ok.
I think some of the best Sushi in Los Angeles. I understand why they have been there since the 70's. Very generous on their cuts and the rice is perfect.Well done Asuka, see you again soon!

Quite a unique experience of real Japanese cuisine without any westernization. Authentic, and family-like feel to it.

Best sushi on the west side. Amazing quality of fish

The absolute best, most cared for restaurant sushi in Los Angeles. Hands down the best food, service and hospitality. The owner is amazing at running this establishment. I run businesses ladies and gentleman and this place is one of the top notch establishments in west la. Go once and you'll get it :)

Incredible experience. Trying this place for the first time we were only disappointed that we haven’t been here sooner. The food was excellent, the fish was fresh and every dish was so flavorful. Try the kaiseki menu. Every dish was perfect. The staff are very attentive and make sure each customer has a great experience. The owner stopped by and chatted with us. It was really nice to learn the history of the restaurant and see how passionate he is about the food and his customers. Highly recommend! A true Westwood neighborhood gem.
Beautiful restaurant with truly an amazing experience. Everything was so fresh, tasted delicious, and the service was impeccable. Truly a hidden gem. Thank you for the wonderful night :)

Good food but HORRIBLE service, especially by the guy who says he's the owner (older guy named Vincent). He also refused to let me sit at the bar, brother if I'm ordering fancy high quality sushi I want it straight from the chef's hand. Furthermore, he claims he could not seat anyone at the bar because of some LA Health Dept Covid rules which is utter none sense, as dine in and bar seating has been back for well over a year now.

They have an extensive menu including various cut rolls and nigiri. The service was top notch, they were very kind and accommodating. Great selection of sake and Japanese beers too. Highly recommend!

Amazing fish. Wonderful presentation. Sufficient ambiance. We're rarely in the area, but I regularly crave their food.

Wow, I love this place. The sushi quality was great and the service was ridiculously good. It was a set course, so not much to say in terms of what you should select. However, it is a gem in this area. It's pricy, but if you can swing it, I highly recommend coming here for the food and the experience.
