O Sushi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I was in the area late on January 16, 2024, and I was really hungry. So, I decided to try and find something good to eat nearby so I could just pick it up and get in before it became much later.

Most of the places in the area were closing between 9pm and 9:30pm so, after a while I was beginning to think that I would not be able to find anything. Then, I found O Sushi and thought that I would be able to eat something after all.

When I called to place my to-go order, I noticed that the woman who answered the phone did not seem the friendliest, but I realized that it was near closing time and figured that she was just ready to be done. So, I went ahead, placed my order, and headed toward their location.

I entered, and the counter was empty. Then, a woman came out from the back but did not smile or say anything. I told her that I was there to pick up a to-go order and gave her my name. She did not say anything and went to get my food. She brought it out, and then I paid for it.

It was all just process. No friendliness, no welcome, nothing at all. I immediately wished that I had not ordered my food here once I walked in. What makes it worse is that once I opened my food and began eating it, I realized that I had wasted my time and money. The food was not appetizing at all. The avacado seemed old. All of the food tasted dry and awful!!!

I would not recommend this place. I definitely will...

Unexpected Excellence, Right Off Sepulveda

I wasn’t planning on being impressed—I just needed a quick bite and ended up eating in my car. But from the first bite of that grilled chicken, I knew I’d made the right stop. Juicy, seasoned beautifully, and somehow better without the teriyaki sauce (which is amazing on its own), the chicken held its own like a headliner. The tri-tip? A total show-stealer—tender, bold, and perfectly charred. Every bite of the beef bowl had that “wait...this is really good” moment. It’s rare to find food this satisfying that still feels clean, fresh, and balanced.

The only thing I regret is not dining in—because while I was vibing in my front seat, they were playing Mary J. Blige inside. That little detail sealed it for me. O Sushi isn’t just serving great food, they’re serving good energy. It’s soulful, comforting, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed. Next time, I’m grabbing a seat and a 3rd...

O Sushi is close to my job so when I'm in a rush and want sushi, I like to go here for a quick roll. I've been going here forever. I liked it a lot more before the pandemic because it felt a lot friendlier. I could sit at the bar and eat but now they have a table blocking the door so I do take out only. I find the cashier lady to not be very friendly. She just doesn't give off good vibes. But sushi is ok. I like the salmon avocado roll and the dynamite roll. I love that they offer a free miso soup or can of soda when you check in because the soup is normally $2.50. So my suggestion, if you want something fast, come here. But if you want really good sushi, go down the street to California Roll Factory, it's so good! I will have to write a review for them too soon. Anyway try it out and see...
