What the Fish — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I'm going to be honest before anything else I type here: I only found this place because of its close proximity to Magpies Ice Cream down the street. This afternoon, I found I had a sushi and sashimi craving, and this place handled it pretty well.

Firstly, the inside of What the Fish is tiny and cramped. There are only about three tables available. I'm 5'6" and I felt like I was too tall for the seats... Umm, I've never had that happen at any other restaurant before, and I eat out often.

Their fish was somewhere in the middle; not the best, but not the worst. Certainly better than grocery store sushi. They also offer some varieties I've never seen at other places. For example, the baked Rowena Roll consists of tempura yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber with eel sauce. They even have sweet potato rolls. As for me, I liked my scallop nigiri and baked mussels. The others, like salmon and yellowtail, were alright.

Probably wouldn't return unless I was with someone...

I tried this once and it was good but not as good compared to other local sushi places. The second time going the cashier charged me and said I needed to swipe my card again. I was about to but she waved her hand and said it’s okay. The guy in the back said he could make my orders since it was busy in 10 min. So...I waited about 20 min into my lunch break. I then went to the window to check for my order and the woman at the cashier said “oh no your card didn’t go through so we didn’t get your order.” I was standing there this whole time and she did not bother to tell me that. So I left, what a waste of time and usually I’m patient about waiting hours for good food. I went to check my bank account a couple days later and I was charged! Tried calling and their mailbox was full. Sorry I wanted to like this place but after that service...I guess they are busy enough to not have to worry about losing me...

I got recommended this place from one of my local friends. I was going to help her doing something at her house, so we stopped by to get some delicious take-out order. Even the restaurant has small space, but their fishes are big! My definition of the word big is variety of fishes, creativity, quality, taste and service. We got sashimi, Nue: Tuna, salmon, yellowtail wrapped in cucumber. This menu is very good for my diet because I try to avoid eating too much carb. I got 3 orders of premium sushi, Sea Urchin. Fish is fresh and I love all food I got from this place. Stuff was friendly and welcoming. My friend said this restaurant is one of her...
