“ This place has really improved. They had a dip in quality awhile back and we stopped going, but we went the other night and it was great. Very fresh and well prepared. I imagine we will be heading back there regularly again which is great because we live nearby. ”
“ It used to be my favorite go-to spot for sushi in Silver Lake. I order usually once or twice per week. But their prices went up since my last order in March 2022. They might think people don't notice but I do. I was about to order delivery tonight (4/3/22) But when I backtracked previous orders, and compared them, I noticed almost everything I ordered in the past 5 years went up by up to 2 bucks on previous orders. That's sneaky. How they think people don't notice the price increases on almost every item escapes me. Probably Brandon's fault for this ridiculous inflation but I refuse to pay more for less. Sadly, Yakuza just lost my business. ”
“ We came in for a quick bite and just got the garlic noodles and sliders. It was simple and really delicious. The place is cozy and the staff is very attentive. Will definitely be back to try the sushi and that rib eye! ”
“ Funny name but tasty. They make really good authentic okonomiyaki (the chef studied in Japan), and the sushi is very fresh. Also a plus, you can bring your dog here for patio dining. ”
“ Ugh.... it hurts to write this review because I don't live in the area and miss it so much already! First, they have valet parking which is super convenient for this area, especially on a Saturday night. But it does come with a small fee. My friend and I had her pup with us, so we sat outside and they were super accommodating with us having the pup. Even brought him water! Prices were pretty decent especially for what we ordered. We had the sashimi combo to share, tempura appetizer and seaweed salad. Everything was on point. The sashimi though was excellent quality and SO FRESH. Came with some Japanese style pickles and seaweed salad on the platter, the seaweed salad is delicious. The tempura was standard, but good nonetheless. Service was good. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion size. We absolutely loved this place and intend on coming back when in the area! ”
“ I absolutely loved this sushi spot. They had the most BOMB Baked Salmon Roll. We ordered three of them after having one. Their Protein Cucumber is also amazing. It has no rice so it’s perfect for you fitness and nutrition junkies. But it’s also very fast for anyone looking for some good yummy sushi. Also, the Caterpillar Roll is a classic and also tastes fantastic. The ambiance is chill. The prices are a bit high but it’s also in Silverlake and service is decent. ”
“ Fantastic sushi, rivals any you've had. I'd definitely recommend. We went during lunch and had the yakuza, mountain roll and Philadelphia rolls ”
“ Great, hip place for sushi. The price is a little high but not too bad, and the food is worth it. The patio dining was super comfortable and the service was very quick and accommodating. ”
