Mmmmmmmmm!
This is my FAVORITE sushi place in LA. Even before they remodeled and you had to wait at least 30 minutes outside to get a table, it was worth it. Now that they've expanded it's even better. The prices are reasonable and the service is great.

My friends and I joke that if we knew we were going to die tomorrow, we would rush to Kushiyu to eat as much of the spicy salmon on a rice cake that we could! You have to place a special request for this dish -- it's not on the menu -- just write it in the sushi order or ask your server. It's divine!    [07 Mar 2003 11:28:24]

I LOVE KUSHIYU
I have always hated sushi and I tried it 1,000 times and every time I just hated it. Finally I went with my friends to Kushiyu and I thought I would just order some chicken (which happens to be delicious) but then my frineds made me try their sushi and I fell in love. I'm addicted now. It is by far the best sushi in the city and I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else.    [09 Mar 2003 21:07:13]

Freshest Sushi with a smile
I rush out of work to get there by 5:30 and always meet 3-4 friends who also love it. All the staff greet you with a smile and you'll always leave with a smile. The people at the sushi bar are always interesting and many times you'll find yourself sitting next to a celebrity.
The best sushi in the Valley and moderately priced.    [09 Sep 2003 02:43:15]

Japanese Family Restaurant
Overall one of the few family friendly japanese restaurants around in the valley. The raw fish is acceptable. I have tasted better in the valley. The robata items are excellent. This is great place to take friends/family who you may want to introduce to a tamer, more universally acceptable, california style sushi restaurant.    [16 Jun 2004 13:00:17]

Kushiyu - Best Sushi
Ever since I discovered this GREAT sushi restaurant, I've been going nowhere else. Their albacore is to die for, so make sure you get the albacore sashimi special. Also try their great Carwash Roll (not on the menu, but they'll know what you're talking about).    [01 Jul 2007 20:02:31]
