“Very fresh and good Japanese restaurant and it is busy. We really liked everything. The Omakase sushi was such a good value. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. Will come back again to this cute restaurant.”

“First time visiting this restaurant, and surely won’t be the last. Great food, and good service. Party of five we had the chance to share several dishes, like the poke, chicken salad, Kona pork cabbage, and the Kirby short ribs. Every dish was extremely satisfying and delicious. And also the guava cake yummy! We will definitely be back to try different dishes.”

“I was extremely disappointed when the server told me there’s no salmon sashimi when that’s the only thing I was craving for. I simply do not understand why they cannot serve sashimi but the salmon sushi is still available. We switched it to toro sashimi but we got served with a minced almost a toro paste. I won’t doubt it if you tell me that’s ground pork. Please google the definition of sashimi. No matter how “fusion” you trying to be. Do not mix “tartare” with “sashimi”. No offense but this place is for those who don’t have sushi a lot. It’s not authentic at all. Not the kind of sushi I was hoping for but I wouldn’t say it’s bad. Afterall the price is relatively low. I’d be okay to have sushi with this quality as a bento box or takeout order at midnight when there’s no other choices. It feels like the kitchen just bought supermarket sushi and served it on plates. The hand rolls are slightly better. You might as well just go to KazuNori. At least Servers are friendly and professional. But I still won’t come back again. If you must try this place. Order the “don’t ask just eat” set. Those are serving slightly more premium fishes. Or lower your expectations.”

“I was looking for some good ramen and this place was so good! I took the train so idk about parking. It was small inside so there was a short wait. Wait wasn't bad although I wish you didn't have to wait there because I felt like I was in the way on the sidewalk. But it was worth it. Workers were nice and the vegan ramen was so good. Good portion and price and really tasty. Highly recommend.”

“My first time here after hearing so many good things from my husband since he grew up eating at this place. We got the combo which was the noodles, rice with beef and a salad. I got their house special noodles which is the daikokuya noodles. Overall K thought it was ok. The noodles were a bit starchy. But the broth was creamy just enough, although I felt like there wasn’t enough char shiu meat in my noodles, just very little and thinly sliced. We also got CA rolls and they were very good. I’ll try other dishes next time.”

”Great late night spot for authentic delicious Japanese food that isn't just sushi. I got the tempura bowl that while delicious I would steer others to get the tempura entree instead. It's the same amount of food but the difference is the tempura was piled on the rice in the bowl so it was hard to dig down to the rice and since the tempura was stacked together it got soggy faster. While in the entree the tempura is to the side of the rice so it's a bit easier to eat. My friend got the Chicken Mixed Fries curry that he said was very flavorful and would get again. His only complaint was that the katsu meats were a bit over fried. The takoyaki was good and pretty typical. The prices on the menu already have tax included which was nice to see.”

”This place is a hidden gem. Efficient, friendly, and fantastic service. Our rolls came out within 5 minutes of ordering. They were flavorful, seasoned well, and plated with precision. This is a great place to come for a date, a friendly gathering or even to host out of town guests!”

”Wanted a quick snack before heading back home and we were hungry but not starving ! Found this spot in Santa Monica . The service was great . No where to really sit or stand inside . We ordered four different flavors . They ran out of the mushroom unfortunately, but we had two different tuna’s , the salmon and the eggplant . The tuna mayo was our favorite the rest weren’t bad !nice snack place Its decent for what it is and simple .”

”We have been coming here for years it’s probably the only place that has not changed in this shopping center… the location is kind of hidden but the food there is good and the servers are the BEST, they are so accommodating!!!!! You will see they have some combos and if I am in the mood for a different side instead of white rice with my favorite chicken Saltado they will put whatever I ask for. They can mix and match for me I love them so much! The saltado is my go to. I don’t really get sushi there but I see a lot of people getting it and they say it’s always fresh :) I do love the ceviche it’s a fusion ceviche not your normal ceviche… try it. 100 stars for their service! Look at the size of this fried beef cutlet it’s literally too big for the plate and hanging off and this is a normal dinner plate it’s HUGE!!!!! I asked for a side of fried rice with it this will last me 3 meals I have an air frier so I can refry and make it crisp again at home. This is really good with any of their spicy sauces but I am weird I like it with soy sauce. Lol”

”Amazing food! Excellent flavor combinations. We had multiple dishes that part of the experience is mixing everything on the plate together to get all the flavors together. That was fun. Great service. Semi-casual ambiance. Highly recommend!”

”sorry it was so tasty we forget to take pics 🥹 spicy miso ramen is a must. love their salmon bowl. my favorite thing on the menu is their house salad!!! idk why is this so gooood!!! service is awesome. thank you for being quick and responsive 😇”

6300 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028, United States

”The food is very good, and about what you’d expect for the price, but it’s hard to get a good selection if you’re eating solo. As a couple or small group you’d have more choice without breaking the bank. Service on arrival made me think I should’ve reserved, before I was taken into an empty restaurant on a Sunday night. Unnecessarily stand-offish. I had a seat at the kitchen which added to some of the atmosphere but tempered by the cold welcome.”

”Really enjoyed my meal at Naruto Ramen! The seafood ramen was a standout, brimming with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. While everything was tasty, there's a slight room for improvement in other areas. Nevertheless, a solid 4 stars and I'll certainly be back!”

”Daichan was recommended by my Japanese colleagues as “authentic” so I was very excited to try it. Absolutely loved everything about the place. The food and service were fantastic. I love eating at unassuming restaurants that focus on food and service vs trying to be fancy. It’s a small restaurant that gets very busy so you will need to be patient. Can’t wait to go back and try all the other dishes.”

”I highly recommend this place, I've been coming here for many years. The food is very good and the sushi 🍣 is awesome and drinks 🍸 are the best. Give it a try and I guarantee you'll be back again and again.”

”Such an amazing dinner! Everything we tried was delicious and while very different, the flavors of each dish worked both separately and together. Loved the hamachi and the duck confit.”

2314 S Union Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90007, United States

”I hadn't been here in many years but it was just as good as I remember it. I sent on a random weeknight and the place was full of college students, obviously, since it's so close to USC. They have a cool reverse happy hour with decently prices items. I ordered a number of their vegan options that were clearly marked and everything was delicious. The servers and staff were very friendly and attentive. I won't wait as long for my next return visit.”

”Possibly the best ramen in the area. Get the salt ramen. The soup has a deep richness with some hint of fermentation, possibly miso or mirin. The pork belly is tender and fresh. The toppings varied and were complimentary. Pricing is a great deal. Overall, such a hidden gem for the area”

875 N Wilcox Ave, Montebello, CA 90640, United States

”New spot and honestly it's horrible! The salad bar is lacking a lot of veggies and, the salad dressings are watered down. The entrees are basically low grade fast-food Chinese food, the American food is Hometown Buffet style food. The Mongolian BBQ lacks flavor and the meat is freezer dried. Their clam chowder was also watered down. Their dessert selection has frozen cakes and although they seem to bake their own cookies and they tastes just as nasty! Dried out and disgusting! I will not be returning! Service is okay, I mean how can you go wrong with picking up dirty plates? Anyone giving this place a good review seriously has not had anything better! So they don't know any better!”
