Best Sushi Restaurants in Downtown

Loved every dish and drink! Service was outstanding!!! When I come back in town, I am coming back!

My first time there but my birthday! I feel like to give you an hour and a half limit at a table felt a little rushed. Because by the time you got your food ate at a conversation it was a little bit over there an hour and a half. Overall the restaurant was very nice.

I took my mom here for her birthday who is half Japanese and she had a wonderful time! We all really enjoyed experiencing flavors that were unique and fun to share with each other. We all ordered the omakase and ordered the almonds and chinmi separately. Maybe the only ding in the experience was the servers mispronounced omakase, which was weird considering it's a high-end Japanese restaurant. They don't put the emphasis on "ma", rather they make it sound like kamikaze which is off-putting at the ordering stage. I loved the Grilled California Holstein Beef Strip the most. It was so simple to look at, but the flavor of the beef with the salt crystals was divine. Loved the fresh seaweed shot with grapes! This made all of us say Wow! The omakase came with a mackerel sushi roll which wasn't on the menu, but it was a flavor bomb. The steamed rice was beautiful with the pork jowl. I could eat that rice on its own though! The miso soup was super tasty! I would skip the shiitake tempura but it's part of the omakase. Too oily, don't eat the whole thing. The new katsu with wagyu beef is a huge amount of food. My mom ate 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home, but my boyfriend ate the whole thing! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the sake pairings throughout our meal. The bartender was stellar. Loved the Yuzu Reviver (vodka) and the Old Fashioned. We left feeling full and satisfied, but not stuffed. It was all delicious! Expect a 2 1/2 hour delectable experience! Enjoy!

All the appetizers, rolls and nigiri were delicious! Our server was attentive and the tea plus heater added to ambience on a cold night while we enjoyed the views on the outside patio. The supermoon shining above was the cherry on top for us. Had missed it here.

It had been over 10 years since my last visit to a Gyu-Kaku location, and from my recollection, they’ve really upgraded! The food was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was also top-notch, creating a lively yet comfortable dining atmosphere. I brought my son and his friends here, and they all had a wonderful time. It was the perfect spot for a fun, interactive meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Downtown LA.
