Sushi Aria — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Update: 8/8/25 Manager reached out to me and refund a portion of my meal as well as getting credit to give them a second try. I really appreciate this from restaurant owner. Shows that he cares. Looking forward to reserving another lunch or dinner with my friends. Love supporting local businesses. I've updated my stars.

YOU LIKE THIS PLACE?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SUSHI IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE. I only finished my plate because I was paying for it no matter what. I'll never be back here nor recommend to anyone. All taste the same. Sushi is below standards. My tuna sushi 🍣 taste old and texture was like gum. People there are super nice which hate to leave such review but their food is not good at all. I walked away paying just a bit less than $150 and none of it was worth it even the Sake 🍶 was really bad and cheap. The 4.9 stars currently reviewing can only be of patrons who only ever buy cheap sushi like from Ralph's. Even whole foods has better quality sushi than here. Just looking at the color says it. Tuna is not meant to be bright pink or red like if it was the fake one for display. All the plates tasted the exact same.

The spicy tuna tempura was pure rubber. Spicy mayo no flavor nor...

Hands down the best sushi on Ventura Blvd! I’ve been to many sushi spots, but this place stands out in both taste and quality. Every piece of sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was next-level. All menu were full of flavor and melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

What really elevated the experience, though, was the service. All staffs were genuinely kind and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Located right on the main strip of Sherman Oaks, the spot is easy to find and parking is a breeze. There’s plenty parking in the rear, and pro tip: the spacious bank lot next door is available in the evenings. Super convenient.

Perfect for a date night or a relaxed family dinner. With Father’s Day coming up, this is definitely the place to be.

Will 100% be coming back.

I am not sure what the other reviewers saw, but our experience here was disappointing. There are so many wonderful sushi places in this neighborhood. This one is priced the same, but the sushi just is not particularly good. There is little fish in the various rolls, and nothing really tasted that good anyway. The ambiance also was nothing like what the other reviews suggest. The place has a couple televisions playing, nothing particularly welcoming or fancy inside. For $20 per roll, you would be way better off at a dozen other sushi options locally. (And if you are willing to go over the hill, Ami Sushi is great sushi at lower prices, with much bigger and better portions.) I...
