Trendoid City – Looking to see and be seen? Pull up a chair. Looking for attitude and average sushi at astronomical costs? Well, break open your chop sticks, mix your wasabi with low sodium soy and commence operation typical Los Angeles trendy scene. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu.... I think not.

Go for the Atmosphere – A fun place to eat with a trendy, chic atmosphere. The sushi is of good quality and presented nicely, but rates an A-. Regardless, If you're looking for ambience... Sushi Roku is for you. I recommend trying it once just for the fun experience. You might consider dropping by during happy hour, which offers a tasty and affordable menu.

Not so much... – I have been to both locations of Sushi Roku. The first experience at the one on Third Street was good. Great sushi and nice, somewhat slow service. The next time I tried Sushi Roku was at the Santa Monica location. The fish was dry and the service was terrible. It was so noisy that I could hardly hear the person across from me. When we would ask for something from the waiter they treated us like we were inconviencing them. I will never go there again.

Still the Greatest – I've been dining at Roku for four years now. I do try other Sushi Bars, but my craving for the freshest fish and a cool place always brings me back. I usually go twice a week. The inside tip is to sit at the sushi bar where the chefs will make you dishes that aren't on the menu.

High price for OK Sushi – The restaurant was very nicely decorated, however, very misleading. After the hour and a half wait I was completely expecting a great dining experience. First of all, the service was awful - the waiter was way too busy and the staff was miserable. I have tried sushi all over the world, even Japan, and I couldnt believe how expensive this restaurant was for nothing special. If you don't mind the LA hype - join the bandwagon and get ripped off for poor service and ok sushi, but if you are truly lookin... read more

Nice – It's a nice place. It's a little overdone - where I come from, sushi bars are just sushi bars. But, it's cool. The food was fine and reasonably priced. They carried a good selection of Japanese beers, which was neat. A little anoying that they greet everyone who walks in - on a busy night, that gets a little redundant :)

breakfast of champions – I have travelled the world over in search of sushi excellence, and if you are Japanese you may find several great places in Japan. But, if you are not, there is only one place to go where the sushi and the atmosphere coincide to bring you one of the best sushi experiences you may ever have, and that place is sushi roku. All others drop to their knees and bow to its greatness. You won't find a more attractive crowd, and the service is phenominal. If your going to Sushi Roku in Santa Monica, just ask f... read more

all filler, minimal killer – Once again, in choosing Sushi Roku as a "Best," Los Angeles indulges its love of pretty faces and ignores the fact the the food here is largely mediocre.

save your $$ – This place is very trendy. Stay away from the sushi, it's not very good. The appetizers are good though. Nothing is worth the price that they charge. Watch out when the server reccommends a "special" because you will end up paying $20 for 6 pcs of sushi. It must be an L.A. thing, people will flock anywhere expensive, but cost doesn't equate to quality.
