"Aim for the spicy tuna and spicy scallops hand rolls. Great pricing for LA and anywhere else in the country."

"Pretty good, the fish tasted fresh, firm flesh, etc. But the rice was a little warm. I had mackeral, halibut nigiri and a spicy (not very, out of a tub) tuna and a salmon roll. Got some take out salmon, looks better than the rolls. The menu could be a bit more imaginative. Evidently there may be items that are not on the menu. Counter was a bit dirty, could use a bit of a spiff on the decor. Busy take out. Definitely not the food you see on the website."

"This is the best place to eat in Pacific Palisades by far. Quick and simple sushi and shashmi menu which is really mostly setup as a set price affair for different portion sizes of mixed sushi and rolls. Like Sugarfish in a more traditional environment. Excellent value for the high quality and location. Small place so make reservations or expect a wait for most evenings. Lunch is an excellent way to experience the menu. Street parking at meters or park in the garage underneath which they will validate. Meters are patrolled aggressively. Restrooms. Accessible. Credit cards OK."

"I was a tempted to give this place an even lower rating because I was so disappointed. I got the salmon, scallop, yellowtail, and albacore nigiri with a blue crab hand roll. The salmon and scallop nigiri were good and I would recommend those, but the yellowtail and albacore were off (they even had a smell to them that didn’t seem right). I was hungry so I drenched them in the sauce I was given and ate them anyways. Texturally they were good though. The blue crab roll was the real driver of this review. It was incredibly fishy. I can’t remember tasting sushi that fishy in a long time, especially not from somewhere with such high ratings. I took one bite and couldn’t stand it. Not even soy sauce would mask the fishy-ness, I ended up giving it to my dog so that it didn’t go to waste but much too fishy for me. Will not be coming back here unfortunately."

"Very fresh sushi at reasonable prices. The sitting area is small and unpretentious, it's because most Palisades families order to go. This keeps two chefs constantly busy, which is a good sign. Crispy tuna, several kinds of bellies, blue crab, sweet shrimp... Just to name a few favorites. Tip: they don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own, no corking fee."
