High quality ingredients, service and taste! My usual sushi place for 2 years already! Family nice business. Highly recommend if you looking for a high quality service and sushi! Daniel and chef great people!!
The ambiance of this place is super peaceful! Our server was kind and very attentive (I have a food allergy and he made sure to let me know if anything. There was no wait and the food was delicious! We got the Baked Salmon Roll, the Tuna Lover, and the Calamari. We def will be coming back.
Ren was one of the best servers we've had in years, super friendly, helpful and attentive! 10/10 service and the fish was so fresh and delicious. Made it a point to share the chef's specialties, the marinated salmon! Just a very pleasant, experience and one of those places you can easily become a regular.
I am so impressed with this place. Everything and I mean everything is great. The food a WOW. Ordered Dragon roll, The Lion King Roll, baked lobster and scallop, WOW! The service was excellent. Highly recommend
lunch special is exactly that : SPECIAL. I had the chirashi and it came with some amazing cuts of sushi...hamachi, salmon, sea bass, albacore, marinated salmon. this is probably the best place I've had in LA for sushi. the humble atmosphere is homey and perfect for a cute date or dinner with a group of friends. thank you!!!
AMAZING!!!! The ambiance is relaxing, especially the music. Food was delicious and the seaweed salad was on point. Daniel served us and he was so patient and accommodating. Even gave my nephew and extra treat because he shared his mochi ice cream lol. Love love love definitely going back.
You have to try the Yuzu Ebi mayo appetizer. It's single handedly my favorite thing. I get it everything I bring someone and it's always a hit. I had the Harbor combo cuz I wanted a spicy tuna roll and some sushi I feel like it's a bang for it's bucks. So good I forgot to take a photo :/ It includes a beat pickled?? salmon sushi and it has like this pink lining around it and it's a upgrade to the regular salmon. The chef puts you salt and real Wasabi toppings, which are so good you don't have to dip it in the soy sauce. The chef and the waiter are super friendly too. I went a few times and the chef sometimes gives me more than I ordered. 10/10
Hands down the best sushi restaurant in town. Fresh fish with decent prices. Japanese family owned with great service. Authentic. Always a variety of fish on hand. I've introduced several friends to this place and will continue to do so. I absolutely love this place. if you're looking to eat sushi, try this place. I promise you won't be let down. Sushi Ajito is second to none. Suggestions: Black Snapper, Sea Scallop, Spanish Mackerel, Toro, Uni
The service is great! We went here under the new owners and were very satisfied with the service they provided. The restaurant has a very wholesome ambiance to it, plenty of space and lots of pictures to look at! The staff was extremely cordial and welcoming. I would come back for the cucumber salad and the volcano roll. Great weeknight date spot
The freshest sushi I've ever had! We also really loved the jalapeno fried sushi roll appetizer!! Our server was very personable, chill and had such a calming voice. Space is small but cozy and you could tell all walks of life came in here for how great the fish is. Server was knowledgeable on which shipments of fish were the freshest. Will be coming back here when were back in california. Prices were fair for the quality! Chef smiled when we thanked him on the way out.
