Creatively Delicious Sushi + Great Bartenders – I went to this restaurant on a tuesday night, and was surprised at how busy they were on an off-night! We walked in and were greeted with polite hostesses, and hung out at the bar while waiting for our table. This blonde bartender made the perfect dirty martini for my girlfriend, and a perfectly mixed absolut/frangelico for me. Not too strong but not weak either. If you dare yourself to try their sushi specials instead of getting the regular sushi's, you wont be disappointed. T... read more

save the $$$ and go elsewhere for sushi – we took our friends here in June thinking that it would be a nice meal in a nice atmosphere. the decor is great, very trendy. the food is very average. we sat at the bar, the chef wasn't very attentive. they WON'T do omakase, and the quality of the fish is so so. dinner for 4 ran over $300 and we left pretty disappointed. WAY too much hype when a place can't even deliver a decent meal.

What? – I have sushi at least once a week. I will never go to Sushi Roku again. Once during each of my two visits I had to spit out some nasty fish. I never thought you could go wrong with tuna sushi until I went to Sushi Roku.

Spot celebs... – ...but don't go here for the sushi/sashimi. It's not that good. And the kitchen prepared stuff is only average. Sit at the sushibar but don't expect it to be as a sushibar shall be (the contact with the chef and the other guests) and ridicously noisy. It's great for watching people though. If that's what you want. And the waitresses at the sushi bar is super nice. I got to go there just for them. FANTASTIC.

Don't believe the hype – Good sushi but cramped seating in the diniing area and poor, unattentive service from the waiter. We had a party of 6 people but the food came out at different times and he never checked on us. Also, it took 20 minutes to get his attention for the check and another 20 minutes for him to correct the tab since he made a mistake and even gave us someone else's check and credit card....oh boy did he need some help.

great food, but crowded – definitely make reservations or plan to wait. sushi and rolls were excellent. very fresh. gets crowded and the waiting/bar area isn't designed to accommodate a lot of people so it's a tight squeeze.

Prepare to PAY for Take out!! – Be prepared to pay 10% extra on any order over $100.00. Which they don't even tell you till after you have been charged. The sushi was one of the worst experiences I have had in Los Angeles, In addition they didn't even get my order right after repeating it 3x this turned into an over priced, over rated, disappointment.

delish food, eh on creativity – The interior of the Hollywood location is great with tons of black. Like Katana, the menu is huge, but it does feature many different items. My friends had the bento box (enormous!!!) and the udon, which they liked alot. I opted for the toro spring roll (interesting and light) and a few rolls, which were pretty standard. Surprisingly, I liked the eggplant with miso sauce the most. The prices aren't bad and again, you have a ton of choices. Our waiter was fine, although not impressive. I went t... read more

Sushi + Scene – Make sure you don't look like a slob, or else you'll stick out like s sore thumb. Sushi was pretty decent and affordable, ranging from 6-15 per order. I especially like the tempura roll and the eel. They also offer steak and lobster dishes for the sushi-phobes. Service from the server wasn't up to par, but that was maybe because there were 15 of us. All in all a good experience!
