Restaurant Transfers FAQ - Sushi Kiriko Los Angeles - Buy Reservations

I knew it was going to deliver because every time I passed it, the entire restaurant was full. We were thankfully able to walk in and get seated, but it seemed that making a reservation would be a good move going forward. We ordered the kikusui cold sake, edamame, yellowtail carpaccio, and a whole smattering of rolls. Of note, the California roll is made with real blue crab and was probably the best California roll I've had. I also loved the spicy tuna and spicy scallop roll. The real showstopper was the yellowtail carpaccio though. SO good. I'm eager to go back and try their omikase (priced at $80) for a nice occasion. The only teeny tiny thing I'll mention is that service was a bit slow, but there was only one waiter. So go when you're not in a big rush!

Don't do anything but omakase. This is my favorite sushi on the westside.Service is a bit slow due to pandemic staffing issues. If you sit at the bar you get food faster (duh).I normally just get the premium omakase, runs like $120 or so.People who complain about this place are not ordering correctly. It's family owned sushi spot. Get the omakase. It's that simple!Olympic collection is getting ripped up right now, you can park there ez.

We reserved a table based on a New York Times review praising this place but left hours later, still hangry. The staff took phone orders and sushi chefs chatted with each other behind the bar instead of making our omakase order. We had 3 pieces of fish in 2 hours. When they finally remembered to serve the rest, it came in one slab, without explanation, and it was only "OK". No apologies for their terrible service. Don't bother going - there are so many better places where you can spend the same money for better sushi - and where they respect their customers.

We went here several times before COVID and had a positive experience. This didn't seem important to the owner this evening.Tonight we reserved places at the sushi counter as usual. Since COVID- Omicron is spreading at the rate of over 40,000 cases a day in Los Angeles, we expected Kiriko to take extra safety precautions just like places like K-Zo and Matsumoto routinely do. Unfortunately, this is not the case. They do not separate parties at the counter. They wanted to jam us close to strangers at the bar. When we asked to have a one chair separation from the strangers they refused. We protested and they offered places in the corner of the bent bar which was very isolated. The point of sitting at the counter is to feel a part of things, so we refused and left.After leaving, we called them to register a protest about their lack of safety precautions and poor customer service. The owner actually laughed at me for wanting to sit near the sushi chef (places were available). Very insulting.Fortunately we were able to walk a block away and find Tsujita, a wonderful place with top quality fish and service. They do care about health safety and they separate parties at the counter. After finishing an outstanding Omakase experience, we walked by Kiriko and the sushi counter was packed, elbow to elbow. I wonder how many of these folks will be infected with Omicron!Stay away from this place. Your health and customer service are not important to them. There are dozens of top quality sushi restaurants the area that do care about you. You don't need to put up with this place.We will report their crowding to the health department.

This spot doesn't get the notoriety it so deserves -- its modest pricing belies its top-tier standing.I rediscovered this place during the pandemic, and while its takeout business seemed to do well, it's a bummer that it's being judged for takeout. Despite the whole not-cooked thing, sushi does not hold or travel well. Eat in, trust the chef and you'll be in for a fantastic experience.
