This place is absolutely amazing. There’s sushi is incredible. It’s soft as butter, and yet incredibly tasty. You don’t need to dip some of them in soy sauce because they put a little bit of flavoring on top. And it makes for an incredibly delicious sushi. The chef here is amazing. He makes it so fast. And all the pieces are just the right size. To put in your mouth, this is the best sushi I’ve ever had. The service here is impeccable. All the staff are Constantly walking by looking and picking things up if you set down an empty bowl, they are there to pick it up within a minute. And they do it without interrupting, or getting in the way they’re so attentive and they don’t interrupt you. They are very pleasant. They bring you the sushi within a couple minutes of when you order it. And it just makes you feel so special. The atmosphere is very simple and clean and beautiful. When you walk in here, it’s like you’re walking in Japan. The sushi the service Is this the atmosphere is that good

The seared salmon and tuna were absolutely unforgettable, just as I remembered. What makes this omakase experience so special is that you can keep enjoying dish after dish until you feel completely satisfied. Truly grateful to Uzumaki for such a delightful meal!

I eat here every ~2 weeks, and honestly it’s not enough. The fish some of the freshes and most delicious I’ve ever had. The staff is attentive and friendly. The vibe is cozy but lively. I bring every friend visiting town here, just as an excuse for me to go again. Can’t recommend it enough.
Specifically you’ve got to try the toro, salmon belly, unagi and if available the albacore belly. All of them are unmatched.

Fantastic sushi spot with good value. The Uzumaki sets are great – salmon and hamachi were standouts. The toro roll and unagi were worth it as well.
Hidden gem would be the fish kaarage – the fish was so soft and flavorful, highly recommend over the chicken one
Service is super quick and on point – they’re always busing dishes and food came out quickly. Great for when you want something a little nicer but don’t want the full Omakase

Great place, Amazing food. The ambiance is good not great. This place could be a fine dining experience but it is more of every day great sushi place m. One the best dish quality I have had in Los Angeles. The food is very simple but it’s extremely delicious. This a very difficult task to achieve. No unnecessary flavoring trying hard to make the food taste better. The service was very good , very fast. I love ginger and I hate that I have to continually ask for more. They kept my ginger plate full the whole time. I only wish they would take reservations as hate waiting for my table. I will be returning with my wife and friends for more. The albacore and yellowtail were to die for, Amazing.
Over all rating 4.5

My go-to neighborhood sushi spot. The fish is excellent quality, love their crispy rice, and they have a great sake selection. Servers are awesome and they’re great with my dairy allergy (everything is safe). Highly recommend!

The food is AMAZING and the staff is extremely nice and helpful! Service comes quick and the food never disappoints. The sushi is well priced too—it’s not too expensive! I got 3 rolls for under $40.

One of my favorite sushi spots in all of L.A.
Incredibly friendly service, fresh fish and a minimalistic yet comfortable environment. Tables are spaced out pretty nicely, they don’t pack you in like sardines.
Basic menu, kind of in a “Sugar Fish” stlye, but much better and superior service. Thank you Uzumaki!

Great if you like torched salmon nigiri and other delicious fish.
2nd time here and I still enjoyed the omakase here. The staples of seared salmon and tuna really lived up to memory. The charm of this omakase is that you can continue until you’re full. Wish we had appetite to taste the entire menu, but we ended at about 20 pieces. Each plating round felt like opening a pack of collectible cards since it’s a mystery, if you know what I mean. The servers were attentive and plates and trash were taken promptly.
No reservations, street parking is free after 6pm, and they have a free parking lot turning right on Washington blvd onto Tilden ave. Casual to semi formal dining experience.
