Sushi Asobu

This place is phenomenal!!!!! We stopped in after just walking around and were so glad we did. The service was fantastic, and oh my god the food. I had the carpaccio and it blew my mind. And the salmon meal and it was the best cooked fish I’ve ever had. The chef also made us a special matcha cheesecake that was kinda life changing. Absolutely stop in. The chefs were so friendly and talked us through the whole meal. What an amazing experience. Thank you!

Sushi Asobu is one of my favorite spots in Little Tokyo and a place I find myself going back to again and again. Hitoshi, Ken, and Sho have created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a true neighborhood gem. What I love most is that it’s not just a sushi spot — the tapa-style dishes are excellent and perfect for sharing while you drink. Everything pairs really well with their cocktails, which are honestly worth the money. They’re not overly sweet like a lot of places in LA, and they’re strong in that perfect “just right” way. My personal favorite is the chicken nanban. If you go, you have to try it. It’s one of those dishes I end up ordering almost every time. If you’re looking for a laid-back Little Tokyo favorite with great food, solid drinks, and genuinely frien

A great place for Japanese food and drinks in the middle of Little Tokyo. The staff is friendly and easy to talk with. There is a variety of Japanese food and seasonal changing menu that is amazing.

It was alright, standard quality for the price and serving size. Got an assortment of nigiri, 2pc each order, which came pre-seasoned with house soysauce and wasabi. Carpaccio hamachi was smaller than expected and had a heavy flavor that didn’t really complement the mild profile of the fish. Not blown away by any dish. Texture and firmness of fish was good, very fatty. For the price I would go somewhere else that has a calmer atmosphere. Great service though.

Terrific place to have some beers, great carpaccio and very good kaarage. But the best part, by far, is the people. Thanks guys!
