I almost don't want to write this review but here it is. I'm native to the area and this is my favorite place to eat sushi. It's not fancy, trendy or flashy. It's no frills, quality, authentic sushi at a great price. It's also very small with limited hours, no reservations. If you want really good food, just come here,... More

It is a small restaurant, we waited around 15 mins to be seated. Ordered a combo of sushi and teriyaki/tempura. Fresh fish, yellow tail sashimi was amazing.

The fish is so fresh, it is amazing. As other people were saying, from the outside, it's not really inviting, but when you enter you reveive a warm welcome. We sat at the sushi bar and look at the sushi men when he was preparing our food. We ask him a few question about what was in the rolls since... More

This is the real deal. There are no crunchy cornflakes and russian dressing on your sushi. The sushi is generous, very fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. Service is great. Good value.

Through out my life I have been trying to find a place as good as this, and with all the hundreds of sushi places I have been to I still have to say that that one dinner at Sushi King was the best sushi I have ever had. I highly recommend it because it'll always be worth it no matter... More

Sushi King, is our neighorhood sushi restaurant, and it's around the corner from where we live, and we've been going there for years on a regular basis. The food is excellent and very fresh, the service is fast and friendly, and we give this restaurant a high rating.

I stumbled upon Sushi King. My wife and I were visiting LA and driving down Wilshire contemplating dinner. I'm in the process of telling her I want sushi, and at that very moment we just happen to drive past Sushi King. I point and say, "There! There's a sushi place! It's a hole-in-the-wall...it's gotta be good!" The rest is history.... More

While the outside appearance is not the best, this little place is a great local secret! Try the miso-marinated sea bass or the yellow tail sushi (most generous cuts anywhere!) Owner-operated, great little spot!

This is a very small restaurant, and the entrance is uninviting. However,if you can get in and get a seat the food is delicious! This is a favorite of many locals. The food is well prepared, served promptly and tastes delicious. Go and try it if you like sushi.
