I came to Ichijiku Sushi to capitalize on the DineLA deal, which – priced at $55 – included a beverage (Hazy IPA), miso soup, edamame, yellowtail & jalapeno sashimi (3), spicy tuna on crispy rice (2), 6 nigiri comprising of bluefin tuna, yellowtail, salmon, branzino with yuzu kosho, albacore with house ponzu, and bluefin chutoro, two hand rolls (I chose yellowtail habanero and salmon ground sesame seed), and green tea mochi ice cream to close out.
It was an amazing meal, with each course bringing serious value through well-sourced ingredients & fish. The ambiance is conducive for sushi devouring with excellent conversations. And at $55, this was amazing. They also have a competitive happy hour that runs from 2-5pm daily, and I definitely want to check that out soon. Also big shout-out to Emi! She’s from Hyogo and was very kind 🙂

Last minute decision to grab a few rolls and we were happy to be able to try Ichijiku Sushi. No wait or line on a Tuesday night which meant we got great service as one of the few people in at that time. We tried the spicy tuna with crunchy rice, a yellowtail hand roll, salmon nigiri, and negitoro & scallion cut hand roll. Favorite was the negitoro hand roll, great quality and delicious, simple flavor. I wasn’t wow’ed by the yellowtail handroll and found the seaweed not very crunchy making each bite a little harder to chew. Fish quality was great though! Glad we got to try this smaller neighborhood joint.

This neighborhood sushi bar is a great spot for grabbing drink and affordable and interesting bites. I love coming here for their happy hour on the weekends to grab a bento box set or tuna crispy rice as a snack. They have a nice patio in the back as well!

Great food! Had the deluxe combo for two. The selection of rolls and nigiri were spot on and tasty! My only complaints: The oolong cold tea came from a can and tasted like metal. It would be nice if it were over ice in a glass. The edamame was chilled. It would be amazing steamed. Everything else was delicious! First time here! Will be coming here more often. Thanks!

The space was small but very nicely done, sleek. For the price I did expect better service but at least the flavors were all great. All four of us enjoyed our meals, expect $32 sushi for one but spending more to leave full. They forgot something that I ordered, and also forgot part of the bento box meal for my husband.

Good sushi but okay service.
Great food but slightly let down by the lack of attention to detail across the service.
Empty drinks, no chop sticks, no garnishes, no soy dish, etc.
