    Best kept sushi secret on the West Side. Amazingly robust menu, something friendly for the Vegans and Vegetarians in your group. They also have a stacked menu for non-sushi items (ramen, dumplings)

    Order the monkfish liver nigiri. It's almost always available and has been very good everytime I've had it. So fresh and so clean.

    The rave reviews are accurate. Kaya has the best sushi I've had in years. They also have an excellent selection of sochu. I recommend the green apple.

    You have got to try the spicy tuna tower! The green tea rice on the bottom is really good! My lips are somewhat numb from the spiciness.

    Beautiful whole in the wall sushi spot. Try the volcano roll! Steer clear from the green tea roll though.

    Kaya Sushi is the best kept sushi secret in Los Angeles. It's right by the ocean in Marina Del Rey. -Patti Stanger, Millionaire Matchmaker

    No matter how hard you study the menu, the lunch box is the best deal aound! I like the spicy pork or salmon teriyaki

    Still searching for the perfect sushi place in Marina Del Rey. Rolls are interesting, but the sushi isn't fresh. Not terrible, but not outstanding by any means. Pricey too.

    A hidden sushi gem on the Westside. I'm a sushi snob & I love this place.

    The food is better than I remember....and it's been 12 years since we were here!

    Great sushi, probably not for the traditionalists..heavy on the sauces and a little fusiony. Try the squid steak!

    Despite being a sushi restaurant, it's Korean. So say kamsahamnida when you leave, not arigato.
