Been here a few times and this place never disappoints. First time was over 6yrs ago and frankly, still one of the most ligit sushi places in LA. Ichi is a skilled chef.
Fresh fish. Good sake selection. What more can you say.
Recommend the off menu omakase (~$120) You wont be disappointed.
We’ve been coming to Sushi Ichi over the past year now and it’s our favorite local sushi bar to visit. The fish is fresh and they have fish flown in from Japan for their omakase. Japanese owned and very low key. Not the typical Americanized sushi bar you’re probably accustomed to wish is a plus for me.
To sit at the sushi bar you’ll need to make a reservation for omakase (chefs choice). Otherwise you’ll grab a table and have access to the standard dish + sushi menu. If you don’t see a fish on the menu, don’t be afraid to ask as they might have it. Just don’t expect to find Americanized rolls here, they stay pretty true to Japanese flavors and dishes.
A must try if you’re a sushi purist and like quality sushi/sashimi.
If you want every detail on your sushi plate to be Japanese and handmade, come here! We accidentally came for lunch on a day they offered lunch! It was great! It is expensive but worth it because everything is fresh (down to the wasabi) and excellently made!
A simply perfect omakase. Fresh. Well presented. Great service. Just really good. (And as many reviewers note: No sauce-slathered rolls where you can’t taste the fish.)
Oh and by the way a grumpy note to reviewers saying it’s too expensive: the prices are on the menu! Too much? Don’t eat here. Easy.
Soooo good! This is my special occasion sushi place. The fish is great and prepared very precicely for you. If you're a sushi fan looking for an interesting meal, treat yourself to a seat at the bar and sit back while the tasty food comes to you. If you're more into rolls smothered in sauce, maybe sit at a table or try someplace cheaper, because you can't taste the fish anyway.
