Gushiya Sushi & Izakaya — Restaurant in Los Angeles

2/24/22: Edited to respond to owner's reply: So your point is that people on the list have to wait for not only dine-in customers, but also takeout and delivery orders. So regardless of if there are plenty of open tables, customers have to be mindful of other customers they might not see in the restaurant (takeout and delivery). That's just silly. If you're restaurant is not able to manage these two different types of order flows, perhaps you should just not take dine-in customers, or at least let them know that being first on the list can still be a 40min wait because of customers who aren't even sitting down. You clearly do not respect people's time and frankly your lack of apology or trying to attempt to fix the situation makes me more resolute to never go to your restaurant again.

Original Review: Awful service. We were first on the list and they made us wait for over 40 minutes with no communication whatsoever. Inside of the restaurant there were plenty of available seats so we didn't understand why we could not be seated. Staff seemed lazy and uncaring. We just left. Will...

The best sushi I've ever had, the group I went with and I could not stop talking about it afterwards. We also had another piece of sushi that I believe was called seared salmon sushi which was my first melt-in-your-mouth experience with food, it was beyond delicious. You can taste the love and effort put into these dishes, it's beautiful. Definitely a highlight in our vacation and would recommend to anyone and everyone. And the service there is 10/10 everyone is so sweet c:

Update: I came back on my birthday and I couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate! As always, the food was amazing, ordered my favorites: Shrimp Delight and the seared Salmon. I also had the Golden Philly Roll which was amazing! I tried some of the strawberry soju as a sample from the sweet hostess and it was so so so good. They also brought me ice cream with a candle flower on it for my b-day, they're the absolute sweetest!! I could not recommend this...

Worst experience ever. Tried calling to order..someone picked up and then hung up the phone. I then drove to the store. No one was at the cash registrar to greet me. Eventually someone approached and asked how they can help. I said I need a menu to order. I was quickly told it would be 1 hour. I questioned why if the establishment closes in 1 hour. I was told that they had two tables and they were serving them food. I said goodbye and left. The place had many empty tables. All I saw seated were Caucasians customers. I was very disappointed not only did no one answer the phone to take my order but I was quickly dismissed and pretty much asked to leave. If you are unable to operate as a business to satisfy any and all customers you might as...
