I've been here three times. I like this place because of its sushi and sashimi quality. They're always very fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, last time a waiter brought me dirty spoon for my dessert

Everything is delicious! I had the katana roll, tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, plum wine and eel + avocado roll. The eel + avocado was my favorite!

The happy hour here is insane. $3 Kirin pints? Yes please. Trust me you're going to need it to wash down all those chicken heart skewers that you're going to order because they were delicious!

Eat the grilled octopus with sea salt, garlic and olive oil, which comes on a bed of frisee, cherry tomatoes and radish. Read more

or one of the best views in the city, get to Sushi Roku early and grab a seat on the enclosed patio, where the Pacific gleams in the distance. Read more

If you save room for dessert, you could definitely do worse than to try the Mochi ice cream bites! They are reminiscent of eating gummy bears, but with ice cream in the middle.

Quite possibly the best sushi place I've ever had. I've been to many from high end to grocery store. This place is the best. The lobster roll was amazing. Best octopus!

You're must try Softshell crab,seaweed salad, and for dessert try Bubbies mochi ice cream heaven 😍

My favorite sushi in Santa Monica. Beautiful decor, superb service and perfect location. Oh, and high quality food options
Connie ChiuJune 12, 2016
Notable highlights: salmon carpaccio, lobster roll, jalapeño tuna rolls, and sake (don't even matter which one...)

Go next door to their sister bar the Rabatta Bar. Same menu and much quieter. Delish!

Love the happy hour. Baked crab hand roll, albacore sashimi…
Todd LytleJune 5, 2013
Great sushi...right next to the water in Santa Monica. Eddie the manager is really nice.
ConnorDecember 2, 2014
The yellowtail appetizer and wagyu on hot stones are incredible.
Ailton SchoembergerJanuary 6, 2014
You must order the Crab Dynamite with Curry Sauce!! Unbelievable Delicious!!!
Joe BechtMarch 16, 2015
Lobster Roll, fatty tuna and octopus. Seaweed salad is the best !
Rick GledhillAugust 27, 2014
Tuna jalapeño, filet w/ ginger teriyaki, Brussels sprouts awesome!
Review GirlMarch 6, 2013
Love the sushi. I always get a dirty martini with 3BAR OLIVE JUICE here. Sushi and Vodka = love.
TJ TaylorMarch 5, 2012
Wasnt too spectacular. Kobe beef dumplings weren't seasoned enough and crunchy spicy tuna roll with avacado was just ok. Nice atmosphere though. (1 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Expensive but very good with lots of original flavours. Very classy too.

The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice rocks!

I've been to both Sushi Roku in Santa Monica and on Beverly. Both are fabulous. Neither will disappoint. Go for great sushi and cool place to hang with friends.
Arnie PanameñoAugust 19, 2018
Try the baked lobster roll.

New happy hour menu is creative and different than most sushi happy hours. Good stuff!
Teresa CarneyJanuary 30, 2012
Just ordered the Restaurant Week Lunch Special...The albacore tacos are delish!
Andrea GorgatiJuly 5, 2014
Very very good ! I've been here twice in a week! Lovely rolls ❤️
Stardust FalloutAugust 19, 2013
Amazing lunch special with multiple selections for just $15
Lea J.March 24, 2013
I really liked the spicy yellowtail roll. Light and refreshing.
Kelli BautistaAugust 20, 2010
The bar staff is AMAZING! Ask for Dave or Domingo ONLY!!!! And by name, they were born with smiles!!!
Anatoly SergeevNovember 10, 2013
Sherminator is very good in that. Very friendly.
Kathy LissonFebruary 19, 2012
Be prepared for a massive bill for not much food. Don't order the teriyaki chicken if you want it to taste anything like teriyaki.
Christian SousaJune 2, 2014
Don't try the Hakata Ramen unless you want to try the most expensive cup noodle ever...
Andrew FladmarkNovember 5, 2016
Meh. Sashimi was small but fresh enough. California roll was small and less fresh and falling apart. Service was slow.
Khalifa Al DhaheriFebruary 13, 2015
I really liked Lobster Roll sushi
Trafton Gunsmoke™July 5, 2011
Definitely get an infusion drink. Very delicious!
Bob Wan Qi KimJanuary 31, 2011
When ordering sake, the only grade to get is Junmai Dai Ginjo... its the purest and priciest. Hackingtravel.com
Juliana SaaSeptember 19, 2018
Food is just fine and a little bit expensive.
Meg JarrellAugust 1, 2010
If you don't do sushi, the Panko crusted salmon is VERY tasty!
Sergueï Neamoscou "Photographe"August 13, 2012
Staff is hard selling! Very bad experience! I wanted to stay light but the staff would almost make you feel guilty for ordering what you want and not what they want you to!

Crunchy spicy tuna is addictive...
Tiffany GrahamMarch 2, 2011
The lychee sorbet is AMAZE - it has real fruit chunks in it :)
Kyle BanuelosAugust 2, 2011
Eat before you come otherwise you'll end up either hungry or broke.
Marin McElhanyMarch 6, 2013
Darn it! The Sherminator isn't working tonight !!
