OOTORO LITTLE TOKYO Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Fresh sushi!
I was craving sushi the other day and our family decided to have dinner here. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. Each piece was like a little work of art! Even though it gets pretty busy, we never felt rushed, and the service was spot on! will definitely come back soon!
fine
Our server made the experience perfect. She brought out the food all at the same time and brought us anything we asked for. Would definitely come back to this place!
The best sushi restaurant … mic drop!
Having enjoyed sushi and sashimi for almost 30 yrs, I have finally found my number one Japanese sushi restaurant!! Its high rating on TripAdvisor (and on my top lists) is no exaggeration, this place is legit and authentic! Located in a somewhat dated strip mall setting in Little Tokyo, you’ll be advised to come early to avoid the long wait times (our party arrived at 4:40 and we were seated about 20-25 mins later). Our party of 4 specifically requested to sit at the long wraparound sushi bar manned by about 8-10 sushi chefs. Seated next to our wonderful friendly sushi chef/master, this was hands down the absolute best and most unique sushi experience as we placed our order directly with Toyo-San, ordering one or two nigiri at a time off the a la carte menu. Within minutes the nigiri was placed on our wooden geta plates, with coveted instructions on whether or not to eat with soy sauce or wasabi. Everything we savored was just the freshest quality and many simply melted in your mouth. Definite must-try’s include engawa (fin of halibut, which I’ve never seen), kanpachi, yellowtail and salmon belly, chutoro, amaebi (the shrimp heads were cooked and brought to us) and sea urchin. You’ll find unique assortments of sushi not normally available in most sushi places, like half beak, sea bream, gizzard shad, Japanese mackerel, scallops and herring roe. It was fun to pick and choose and walk up and down the a la carte menu, creating our own “omikase” meal. Though seated at the bar, the wait staff efficiently whisked in and out to refill drinks, bring hot fare like tempura and agedofu, and clear plates. The sushi certainly is not cheap but the unbeatable combination of the experience, customer service, and importantly the highest quality of sushi is priceless.
Excellent Sushi In Little Tokyo
Sushi Gen was recommended to us as the best place for sushi in the downtown area of Los Angeles. We arrived just prior to the 5PM opening and there was already a queue to get a table. Service was prompt and friendly and the restaurant was very clean and quiet. The sushi was outstanding, especially the crab and tuna. I strongly recommend Sushi Gen.
Amazing food!
Me with my friend go for lunch. Great time we spend here, I had read and heard many good things about the place. Amazing food!
Chutoro
High quality fish cut perfectly served efficiently. Great value. Don’t be surprised if you find your favorite LA sushi chef sitting at the bar. No frills or fussy fusion. Is 5 orders of chutoro excessive for two people? Everything was amazing.
I highly recommend the chirashi bowl.
It comes with two pickled dishes, miso soup & tofu. Great assortment and quality for the price (especially during lunch). I appreciate that their lunch prices carry into Saturdays. There is dimmed lightning throughout the restaurant with a calming ambiance. Our food came out very quickly. Wonderful and attentive service. Parking can be a little difficult in the area. just a heads up, they do not validate.
Came here for a dinner hangout with friends.
From the outside walking past it, it always seemed closed or out of business but today I found out it was very much open. As a stark contrast to the barren exterior, the interior of the restaurant transports you to a beautiful restaurant like that of one in the heart of Tokyo. We each ordered a premium sashimi which came with an assortment of sashimi ranging from sweet shrimp to surf clam over a beef of sushi rice. The food was as delicious as the presentation and the service was impeccable. I would definitely check this place out if you're looking for a nice sashimi dinner in downtown!
I love the ambience of this restaurant.
It's dimly lit, has tables, sushi bar and cocktail bar. I came for lunch on a Thursday and it was not busy at all. We ended up spending $100 per person and we were full and super happy. The quality of the fish and flavors were perfect. There were definitely more economical options, but we wanted something nicer so we went with the deluxe sashimi, ankimo spoon, and some nigiri. I would definitely come back.
Delicious and Classy.
Excellent service. Our favorite spot in Little Tokyo. Our favorite Sushi in Southern California.
omg very expensive and don't order the salmon! full of
omg very expensive and don't order the salmon! full of bones! I tool one bite and got a bone stuck in my throat!!! waitress said it's the collar of the fish! I said you mean the gills! ugh didn't eat after that. I don't recommend that place and I eat a lot of Japanese food
This was a great find with great food.
I had a family member visiting who is a foodie. She liked the options we chose which made me feel good about choosing this restaurant.
Easily one of the best meals I've ever had.
A friend chose Ootoro for dinner so I didn't really know what I was in for and I'm not going to lie, when we first saw the menu I was a little shocked. Definitely pricier than I usually dine but when in LA right? It's still a limited menu at my budget but I ordered the chirashi bowl for $28.95 and 100% I would order it a million more times and honestly it's a steal at that price. It's positively loaded with some of the freshest fish I've ever had and it was by far the best meal of our trip. The restaurant itself is very nice with modern decor and low lighting to build the ambiance. The servers were very attentive and service was prompt - I don't think my water glass ever emptied. I'd give it more stars if I could!
25+ yr patron.
Sushi Gen has been in business since 1980 and i’ve been frequenting with my family for 25 years +. The quality is one of the top in LA and prices are shocking good considering the quality. The sushi chefs are always so polite and masters at their craft. If you want to opt for the sashimi/ sushi dinners/ deluxe, you must sit at a table vs bar. It’s one of the best bargains you’ll find in the city. I like reading when people write that the staff is rude / abusive for having to wait in line. This place is run like an authentic Japanese restaurant. In Japan, ppl wait in line for hours even during lunch for good food. The bar does not have a breakdown prices on the menu. Having said that, prices are fair. I don’t imagine they would be in business for this long for gouging their guests. If you must know how the price of each item, don’t sit at the bar/ sit at the table.
Been wanting to try this place since I was told it was
Been wanting to try this place since I was told it was about to be open. Still unsure if it's the same ownership as the one in Irvine & Walnut but if it is, I have to say, the quality of fish & service at this location is a lot better than the Irvine location. At the same time, I'm not sure if the service is related to how busy the place gets; I had reservations for 6:30pm on a Thurs night & when I arrived, the place was entirely empty & only 3 parties dined in during my entire time there. So every time our dishes came, we got a detailed explanation of the order along with how it was cut & made. Makes me wonder if the service would be the same if it was a full house. All in all, it was really quiet since it was mostly empty but the place had an upscale feel. There was even a private area of about 4-6 tables if needed. Quality & taste of everything was great, much better than Irvine. Also, love how the Hamachis, Toro, & Tuna were cut so thickly & largely, made me felt I was really getting my moneys worth. Not to mention the freshness of it & how it just melts in your mouth, simply amazing. Only minor gripe was the size of the Japanese cheesecake. For $4.50, I thought it'd be cut with a lot more "surface area" but I guess with these types of restaurants, desserts are just a "taste test." Parking wise, it's DTLA so can't expect any convenience. I ended up parking at Wellers Court across the street & had 2 validation stickers but it wasn't enough as I was there for more than 2 hrs so ultimately had to pay $12 but I suppose it comes with the territory. Personally, I still believe Izakaya Osen in Irvine still reigns as the best place for omakase in terms of quality, taste, service, & pricing. But this is a place I'd consider returning to or recommending for anyone that's in the LA area & you don't mind paying for parking.
Their omakase was amazing and the chefs hooked it up with
Their omakase was amazing and the chefs hooked it up with some extras! Would definitely return for that menu and the wagyu on baguette
This place is delicious and such a great lunch deal.
Amazing portions and such fresh fish. The toro don bowl was insane.
