Best

This restaurant always lives up to our expectations every time we go there. The restaurant is intimate and the service is top notch. The food is also spectacular and eclectic. ...

Worst

When I entered the restaurant, I got no service and waited for 30 minutes. People behind me left because it took so long. Reading these reviews before hand, I decided to wait and ...

Loved it!! 2/8/2006

User review by tinkerthinker 11/26/2005

As a Korean raised on the Westside, I've tried my share of sushi/Japanese/Korean restaurants. This is by far one of the priciest. The freshness is only so-so, and the portions are very small. The service was poor too. The restaurant was practically empty, but our food still took almost 30 minutes. The water features in the restaurant are great, but I don't want to feel like I'm paying for THAT. If you like this type of restaurant, you're better off traveling a little east to the many BETTER restaurants in KTown. Pros: Fountains, Waterfalls Cons: Price, Portions, Service more

Creative sushi, neat setting. 9/26/2005

The combinations of the sushi rolls are endless. There's always something new to try. Waterfall is neat to sit by. Gets busy on the weekends though. Small place too. Sushi was great, but a little high price on the rolls. Pros: variety of sushi, ambience Cons: mod to high prices, limited seating, really busy at night more

My all time favorite restaurant 6/27/2005

I've never been a big fan of sushi until my friend took me to Kaya Sushi about three years ago. Ever since then I have became a regular to Kaya. Whether it be a business meeting, date, or a family gathering, I have always been a loyal customer to Kaya. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome, the service is friendly, and the owners are very welcoming!!! My favorite are the roll and sashimi. The fish is so tender, juicy, and especially fresh that it literally melts in your mouth. I have told all of my co-workers, friends, and family about this amazing restaurant and not even one of them disagreed with what I have to say about this restaurant. Just thinking about me makes my mouth water... Pros: Quality, Affordable, Romantic Cons: Closed on Sundays more

Kaya smila 6/26/2005

Having enjoyed lots of sushi here over many years, I count the total experience as higher than any one piece. No expert on rolls, I've enjoyed their flavor more than their usually-gargantuan size. When Kaya has toro, or special salmon or yellowtail, it's sometimes nearly divine, always good, and usually temperate (not cold). However, I've been burned twice with uni, so I always its quality before ordering it. Albacore - great, sometimes really fine. Also eel, though I don't know why such huge portions. Better, more ""authentic"" sushi restaurants exist out here. But Kaya consistently provides good fish and smiling staff - who are always willing to make up for a mistake. Cap it off with a beautiful new waterfall and occasional visual underwater tours, and Kaya stands out as a nice L.A. sushi house. Pros: Casual atmosphere, good basic dishes, occasional gems Cons: squeezed parking more

The best sushi restaurant in town 6/13/2005

Kaya Sushi is definitely my favorite sushi restaurant. I was introduced to this restaurant about 2 months ago by a friend of mine and sincethen I have been going there almost every week. Their yellow tail sashimi deeped in house special sauce just melts in your mouth. They also have a variety of rolls so anyone will find rolls that they like. The restaurant has friendly staffs and very romantic settings with water falls. It is a good place to take your date. I would defitely recomment Kaya sushi for any sushi lovers! Pros: Fresh sushi, Service, Ambience Cons: reservations more

Wouldn't go there again 5/14/2005

I ordered $50 worth of sushi for dinner and was pretty disappointed by the quality. The salmon was slimy and fishy, the asparagus was mushy and believe it or not their dynamite roll was horrible. On top of that the service was unbelievable, with only 2 pompous waiters/waitresses on a Thursday night. Although the owners/managers at this restaurant are very nice and timely but their wait staff is arrogant and forgetful. I tried this restaurant because it's close to where I live and couldn't believe they were still in business with the food they were serving. Maybe it was a bad day? I wouldn't take my chances of trying them out again. Pros: cool fish tank, nice glass waterfall Cons: poor wait staff, small and crowded, parking difficult more

great Korean food... 5/8/2005

There are very few good Korean resturaunts on the Westside but luckily, there is Kaya Sushi. Trust me, I'm Korean. They have a great dol sot bibim bap, which is rice, cooked vegetables, beef, and egg that comes in a hot stone bowl. The rice cooks to a crisp as you eat it. I had all my non-Korean co-workers hooked on it. There is also hwe dup bop for you sushi lovers; which is rice with lettuce and other raw vegetables, topped with salmon, tuna, white fish and roe. It comes with a spicy chili sauce that is slightly sweet. If you go during lunchtime, they do a great lunchbox. It's huge. It comes with two pieces of california roll, 3 pieces of sushi, tempura, salad, your choice of meat, and rice. Pros: food, affordable Cons: service more

okay for roll lovers, not for sushi fans 3/28/2005

i decided to check out Kaya after a co-worker raved about it. Being a big fan of sushi and japanese cuisine, this restaurant didnt seem catered to my taste. It was probably my mistake going to a korean and japanese fusion restaurant. I felt like I was bombarded by a lot of over the top gimmicks- from the rolls to the decor. The place was too loud and had a cheesy overtone. Even though I'm not too much of a roll fan, I decided to check one of the hundreds of rolls available. The size of the roll was misquided with the amount of vegetables it was stuffed with...no meat. Same goes for the menu - i noticed there were a lot of items, but nothing really popped out. Also, the flavor of the fish was lost with all the junk they served with it. Cons: tacky atmosphere, not authentic, service more

it's all about variety & setting. 10/11/2004

Kaya is now definitely my bf & my favorite sushi place. i have to admit i'm a big time sushi eater and know what i'm talking about what it comes to sushi & sashimi. just the fact that their sushi menu has over a hundred variety really surprised us, not to mention the delicious taste on all the ones we've tried. i've only been there once to try out cuz of other good comments, but i know for a fact that i'll be visiting it many more times just so i can try out all of their sushi rolls. Pros: variety, delicious food, interior design Cons: , pricey more

Best Ever!! 9/28/2004

Well I must say, I eat a lot of sushi and this one role: The Hawain Role has to be the best I have ever had. It comes on a little mini grill all covered with flames. On top of the roll is the most tender white fish and a sweet brown sauce of some sort. To compliment the brown sauce is another sweet white sauce. Each bite is a meal. I could only eat two and was stuffed but had I had it first ... I would have gobbled the whole thing up. I highly recomend this place. Even the decor with it's walls of water, blue lights, funky furniture, friendly and young staff ... it's a must!!! Pros: Decently priced, Not crowded, awesome atmosphere more

Great Food, Terrific Ambience 6/11/2004

Kaya Sushi is my favorite sushi place in L.A. They have so many amazing and different rolls to choose from (try the Jay's Roll, it rocks!) The Korean/Sushi infusion of Kaya makes it one of the most unique sushi experiences you'll have. You've got to experience this fantastic sushi joint. Pros: Friendly Staff, Popular, Moderate Prices Cons: , Few Parking Spots more

Not too bad... 1/6/2003

I had dinner here with my sister last Saturday. We were there fairly early, so we were seated promptly. The atmosphere was very nice. The sushi was very good and so were the rolls! Criticism: 3 of our orders were not brought to us (2 orders of salmon sushi and 1 rainbow roll). The salmon sushi was brought to us after we reminded our server and we ended up cancelling the rainbow roll. Our server was very friendly and polite throughout the evening; however, once the restaurant was busy I felt she forgot about us! My sister had to get up and track her down just to get our bill and remind her that we didn't get our rainbow roll. I would still go back, but maybe when it's not too terribly busy. more

good food & atmosphere 10/31/2002

Good sushi served with a Korean twist. You can enjoy sitting at the aquarium sushi bar with a cascading waterfall or watch the tropical slide show in the dining area. It's a family friendly restaurant where children are treated to free Poki snacks (Japanese pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate). Most of the entrees are very well prepared but of course Sushi is the name of the game. If you're feeling adventurous, try some of the wonderful Korean dishes. Don't forget to bang the Korean drum on your way out if you really liked your meal!! more
