Best Sushi Restaurants in East Los Angeles

My best friend and I had dinner at this beautiful restaurant, which I would recommend to everyone! The decor and ambiance are warm, modern, and inviting. The aromas from the kitchen greet you the minute you walk in. At that moment, you know you have arrived at the right place. The libations: Drinks: We ordered the spritz and a dirty martini complete with a sidecar and the Japanese house vodka--yummy! The passionfruit spritz is fruity and dry at the same time! The dinner: Aioli grani is a medley of veggies from the farmer's market and tasty aioli. Sweet potato gratin--If this dish were a person, I would marry it. Wow! The balance between the sweet, cheesy, and savory consistency and flavor makes this my favorite of the night. Dry-aged burger and fries: The default for the meat is medium rare, which is a must! The grilled jalapenos added a nice kick! The French fries come with a dijon aioli and curry ketchup are tasty! The service? It was excellent and added much to the overall dining experience.

I visited Mrs. Fish in DTLA the night before Thanksgiving with friends, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and unique, with its stunning underwater theme and the massive aquarium adding a cool, relaxing vibe to the space. The food and drinks were fantastic—every dish we tried was flavorful, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. She missed a couple of our orders but that’s understandable given she had other table to attend. The music and energy of the place were just right for a fun night out. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, enjoy some good food, and soak in the lively downtown ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The Gozen is highly recommended. Excellent presentation, fresh Ingredients, superb value. We had great dining experience!

I came in observance of the launch of a Jujutsu Kaisen mobile game that launched and for one day, Asayoru has made some of menu items Jujutsu Kaisen theme. I ordered the gyodan that wasn't much different than the regular gyodan, it has a sausage on place of an egg to replicate Sakudo's finger. I had the Gojo parfait and it was yummy. It has a vanilla scoop, blue jello, and Pocky. I did enjoy the matcha milk. When I arrived, the cafe was very busy. It holds he same fun atmosphere like it was back at EXP, but it was on a Saturday, so, high chances of availability to go is expected for young adults who work weekdays or go to school can make it on the weekends. I was able to get some Jujutsu Kaisen freebies after sharing the banner for their mobile game on Instagram. I was able to have a good time at Sakurin's birthday event the day after or the day I reviewed my experience. One thing I want to point out is in the second row somewhere in the middle, I felt something hot on my back. I assumed it was the stage light projecting from the back row. I was too focused on the performance to consider finding out.

Tensho is the best always! Best food and people! :)
