- Los Angeles TimesJune 7, 2013The great specialty is cherrywood-smoked Copper River salmon with mango, a dish that certain local sushi masters would rather die than serve. (It's their loss: The dish is stunningly good.) Read more
- EaterNovember 6, 2013This Sawtelle nook of a sushi bar presents some innovative dishes alongside the omakase sushi, though the nigiri is excellent by any standards. The quality is consistently high.
- DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Traditional Japanese cuisine gets a modern makeover in Ken Namba’s kitchen, where Canadian salmon topped with caviar hugs mango slices. Scallop, halibut, and unagi are top picks for straight sashimi.
- Ben K.January 5, 2016Great quality sushi in a casual place. Must try their house smoked salmon and always good to order some Hokkaido uni.
- Go Find AliceMarch 14, 2015Omakase dinner is solid. Around $100-140 per person without drinks. The toro sushi was amazing, as well as miso squid
- Jason H.August 27, 2016Excellent sushi. A must go. Fantastic! But perhaps best to order a la carte over omakase. The omakase service was REALLY REALLY slow....
- Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014While great sushi is never cheap, Ken Namba's traditional yet creative $80 omakase is almost a bargain. Read more
- The three hand roll lunch is a great deal at $14.50. It comes with salad and miso soup, and you can upgrade to a blue crab roll for $1 more.
- NimaApril 22, 2010Ken San (owner/chef) is a certified master at his craft. Before I came here, I was a California roll and spicy tuna guy. After experiencing Kiriko's dinner, I immediately became an Omakase guy!!!!
- cynthia wangMay 21, 2013dont come starving. make sure you sit at the counter/bar, or you will die from neglect. that said, the omikase was f'kng DIVINE.
- Leave you dinner fate in the hands of Ken-san, Tomo-san, and Shinji-san (omakase!), and you'll be taken on a magical sushi ride.
- Zach ShannonFebruary 18, 2010Instead of the full omakase, sit at the bar and ask for 10-12 pieces of sushi, whatever the chef likes. AMAZING. Buy the chefs a beer, too.
- Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Ben Ford, chef of Ford's Filling Station, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Seared toro. Read more
- Los AngelesAugust 3, 2013Not as good as it used to. Slow service, not attentive. The worst Omagaze ever had. 6 piece of sushi served in 3 hours for $120;((
- Tatyana FisherMarch 17, 2012Great sushi but horrible service. 2 hours to get 3 small servings of sashimi?
- Marcos ShogoSeptember 11, 2011Good sushi and sashimi, but looong wait and poor service... Had to ask for my water 3x!
