Love this place. Wife and I always gets Omakase and we've never been disappointed by anything we've had there. A couple must have is the Super Toro seared with Truffle & the Uni Half shelled OysterUpvoted Jan 30
Apache ApacheJanuary 8, 2014The Gravy Ramen thick broth is exclusive! Sesame chicken app is cool. Seabass app is small 2pcs but heavenly delicious. Here at bar people r having Shef's sashimi delux special for100$ & going crazy.
Chef Rawk (Krissy)March 22, 2013Call a week ahead and ask "Peter" to prepare a prefix menu that'll make you feel like you're eating in Japan. This is THE MOST traditionally legit sushi in Los Angeles. Shark heart, score.
Steve PolandJanuary 18, 2012I am from out of town but staying nearby, and this is my 2nd night in a row here. Seriously delicious. Happy hour til 6:45 is discounted deliciousness ($1 edamame, $2 frosted mug Kirin beer)
Melinda FlynnJanuary 1, 2012Ok WOW!!! The dessert is awesome too! I had Chocolate Lava Cake w Ice Cream (don't share!!) And hubby had Tempura Bananas w Ice Cream (share...I had some yum!!). Both are EXCELLENT!! Try them both
Jean MarieMarch 23, 2015This is our go to late night spot. They have the best Japanese scallop and live scallop that I've ever tried. Service is fast and friendly, too!
The freshest fish! Also has a great sake list. Get here before 6 or be ready to wait a while. They do take reservations now.
AD NysJanuary 14, 2011PROtip: Tell Peter that Tony P. sent you. He has to be one of the most frequent diners, so that -- and a few shots of gifted sake -- will put you in good steed with the VIP guys with the sharp knives.
Scotty ScottDecember 9, 2012Try the special Gravy ramen. It's actually very light (not oily) an made entirely of vegetables. It's a quite different and rather delicious change of pace from traditional style ramen.
Andrew FurmanSeptember 18, 2014Definitely order the omakase. You will get an education on Japan along with some of the best sushi you've ever had.
Esra AkpinarliDecember 13, 2014Delicious, delicious, delicious!!!! Green tea ice cream and green tea itself great! Very authentic, truly a Japanese delight!- Benito QuevedoAugust 12, 2017Great place near LAX. Good happy hour menu and lots of fresh and interesting fish on the regular menu.
- Charles T SebestaMay 29, 2017The Sushi is tasty, fresh, and refreshing. They do it well here. It is really quite surprisingly good!
Vincent LaceyAugust 12, 2016Try the saba battera and finish with tamago (egg desert sushi). Best tamago I've had.
kiptripJuly 19, 2016The sheer amount of beansprouts in the ramen is ridiculous. If you hate sprouts remember to ask for NO SPROUTS. Great tasting ramen otherwise. NOTE: they only serve ramen after 10pm.
Emily FMarch 29, 2013The PK 3 Seared Toro with Truffle Oil hand roll was one of the tastiest and most unique sushi dishes I've ever had. SO tasty.
Roger SchonfeldAugust 20, 2014Winning strip mall sushi close to the airport. Crowded during rush periods. A volume business. Worth it.- After 10 pm they serve delicious ramen. It's worth eating later for either of their inexpensive and tasty bowls of pork miso or shoyu ramen.
- Dennis ChidesterAugust 20, 2014Chef's choice sashimi platter is well worth it. Freshest sushi this side of the Tsukiji market.
Get the chirashi! Best deal on the menu. The sushi is really good, but everything else is mediocre, except for the ramen.
BrandonAugust 28, 2014King Crab w/ shaved black truffle. Sweet shrimp. Uni. Waygu Carpaccio. Geoduck sashimi.
Calvin TingMarch 7, 2013The fried squid on the izakaya menu pairs well with the Asahi Black. The shoyu ramen pairs well with your taste buds.
The Spicy Tuna Tacos (actually tostaditas) are yummy and loaded w/ generous scoops of spicy tuna.
Sandeep ParuchuriJanuary 20, 2016The seabass appetizer is wicked. If in doubt, take advice from your host
Avner SchwarzAugust 19, 2017Can't go wrong. We ordered 10 or so different items and they were all excellent!
- My new favorite sushi / ramen spot. Haven't tried anything I didn't like, my favs so far are the Spanish mackarel and albacore sushi. Stays open til 1am!!
Definitely try this off menu deliciousness: Alaskan Crab Tempura with lemon & curry salt!
Come after 10pm on weekdays to experience one of the best places for ramen in west la
Ramen now served during lunch hour- they have a smaller ramen bowl with sushi combo for $13.50
ohmygosh! The best ramen ever! Comparable to what we had in Japan. Ramen only served after 10pm.
Vhie TheMay 16, 20121st time here.. Been recommended by our friend and we try k-8 and ramen was so good..
John SchollJuly 25, 2010Some of the non sushi entrees are a bit expensive, but get the sushi! Absolutely the best fresh sushi I've had.
Phoenixmoon, chirashi, k2 roll, crispy cheese wonton
Paige RobertsonJuly 4, 2011Looks sketchy from the outside but this is a hidden secret.. Cheap, great sushi. Excellent happy hour!
