Mitsuru Sushi & Grill

"Nice little hole in the wall with affordable food! I discovered this place back in undergrad when they had (and still do) have very affordable lunch specials. Will definitely be back. At the time of our visit, I believe there was only 1 server, but later on (when we were leaving), we saw another staff member walk in."

"If you’ve visited Little Tokyo several times and have tried all the Instagram-worthy restaurants you may start to ask yourself, “where can I go to just feel comfortable?” Then you definitely want to try Mitsuru Sushi and Grill. This is a no-frills Japanese diner that serves one of the local favorites- “The Gacha.” It’s something every local loves. You can’t really call yourself a connoisseur of Little Tokyo food until you’ve had this unique breakfast/brunch item. What is the “Gacha” you ask? Basically it’s an omelette filled with your choice of protein (sausage, spam, etc.) and served with either hash browns or rice (the better choice). The salty omelette is perfectly paired with the rice and envelops your tastebuds and hugs your soul with pure goodness! The staff there are what you’d expect from a friendly neighborhood diner- great people who want to feed you a great meal."

"A Symphony of Flavors at Mitsuru Sushi and Grill After an extended hiatus from indulging in the art of sushi, my return to the experience at Mitsuru Sushi and Grill was nothing short of extraordinary. This hidden gem, which I stumbled upon through a friend’s recommendation, proved to be a culinary revelation. As a party of three, we embarked on a gastronomic journey, each selecting different dishes to sample the breadth of the menu. The ‘Special B’ sushi platter at Mitsuru was a masterful display of freshness and finesse, each slice of sashimi whispering tales of the sea with its impeccable texture and taste. The ‘Rainbow Roll,’ true to its name, was a vibrant mosaic of flavors that melded in harmony, captivating our palates with every bite. The Ramen was an authentic rendition of this classic dish, with a broth that was rich and robust, cradling tender slices of pork that melted in our mouths, while the marinated eggs added a level of umami that was simply transcendent. The Gyozas were the perfect accompaniment, their crisp exteriors giving way to succulent fillings that were a testament to the chef’s prowess at Mitsuru. It’s not just the food that makes Mitsuru Sushi and Grill special. It’s the feeling of discovery, the joy of sharing exceptional food with good company, and the promise of returning to what now feels like a culinary haven. In conclusion, Mitsuru Sushi and Grill is a celebration of Japanese cuisine, a place where each dish is crafted with passion and precision. For anyone seeking an authentic sushi experience, Mitsuru deserves not just a visit, but an encore."
