We came here for a girls dinner and it was very cute. The ambiance inside is so fun and dimly lit with adorable neon signs. They do play K-pop music videos on their tv's. We ordered a sushi boat and it was delicious. They cut the fish nice and thick and everything was fresh. I am aware that they offer AYCE sushi and it varies in price depending on what time of the day it is. Check the website for more info.

We had such a wonderful dinner here as a family! It was my parents' first time at an AYCE sushi restaurant, and we were all blown away by the quality and freshness of the food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the mackerel sushi--which we had for the first time--was absolutely amazing. A big shoutout to our server, Hannah, who truly made the experience special. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She patiently explained everything and gave us great recommendations that we wouldn't have tried otherwise. Thanks to her, my parents had an unforgettable first AYCE sushi experience. We also really appreciated the atmosphere of the restaurant--it was lively without being too loud, which made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be coming back!

Here Fishy Fishy is one of my go-to AYCE sushi spots in LA, and it never disappoints! The food was delicious as always, and my favorites this time were the eel and yellowtail nigiri--so good that I had to order two rounds of sushi. The staff was super attentive, quick to clear plates, and kept everything running smoothly. Great service and fresh sushi make this spot a must-visit. Can't wait to come back!

Had a sushi craving and needed to find a spot to satisfy it. Here Fishy Fishy came through and did not disappoint. It was our first time and we've seen videos and reviews, so wanted to experience it for ourselves. Service from start to finish was so efficient. Making reservations on yelp was seamless and even had to adjust it a few hours before, and still worked out. Staff were accommodating and the overall environment was clean. Opted for the AYCE. Worth the price considering the amount of food you get. Take full advantage of the sashimi. Quality was excellent, personal favs were Harasu and Orange Salmon. Signature roles were delicious -- Would recommend the Lisa Lisa, Caterpillar, Mexican, and Lemon Crush. Only reason it didn't get a full 5 was because part of our orders were forgotten so we had to remind the servers a few times, but they were quick to fix and were friendly about it. So all good. Pro Tips: If you're driving -- there is valet parking $4, make reservations ahead of time, ice cream is available , if AYCE, you have 90 mins; one time only per item for the sashimi. Would come back as it was one of the better Sushi options in LA.

When you're in LA and you're in the mood for all you can eat sushi, this is the perfect place to be. First thing you need to know is that this is a popular place and there's always a line especially during peak hours so make sure that you get there right before they open- otherwise you are going to wait between 30 minutes to an hour and a half wait. My two favorites are the softshell crab, and the Toro sashimi. The rest of the sushi tasted very fresh, juicy, and sweet. The servers wrecked very efficient and served our orders quickly. The place was very clean and neat and the restrooms were well maintained. I've been to this place for a couple of times and will never get tired of it.

This spot surprised me--in a good way. All-you-can-eat sushi usually comes with trade-offs, but this one felt pretty premium. We had four people in our group and ended up ordering over 100 items (don't ask how, we just kept going). The bill came out to around $300, but honestly, for the amount and quality, it made sense. The nigiri was super fresh. The toro especially--insanely soft, just melted as soon as I bit into it. The tacos are a must, really flavorful, and the crispy rice with spicy tuna was probably my favorite bite of the night. If you're planning to go hard, maybe hold back on the rolls at first--good, but they'll fill you up fast. Service was on point. They were quick, friendly, and everything came out fast, which made the whole experience smooth. We were done in about an hour and left completely stuffed. At the end, they brought out ice cream (green tea for me), which was a nice touch. Definitely recommend making a reservation. It's a smaller space, and there's usually a wait, but it's worth it. One of the better AYCE sushi spots I've tried.

Here Fishy Fishy is definitely one of the better AYCE sushi spots in LA - solid quality at a reasonable price that will leave you absolutely stuffed and happy. I came here for lunch with coworkers and ordered about 1000 nigiri's - all absolutely delicious. We were seated relatively quickly and service was quick. They also allow each person to ordered a specialty item once at no charge (which includes uni, for all my uni lovers out there). There is a parking lot adjacent to the area so parking isn't terrible. Highly recommend for a solid AYCE joint!

I wanna start by saying I'd give this place 4.5 stars if I could, because I think this is the best AYCE sushi spot in LA. It beats out Aikan, Hikari, Neo...you get the point. The quality is pretty solid, especially for AYCE, and the variety can't be beat. At $54.99 per person, you may be spending 5-10 dollars more than other places, but you're absolutely getting the best value AND they're open til 2 am. My partner and I came here on a Tuesday night around 9 pm. The place is cute, with pinky-purple neon signs with Instagrammable quotes like "feed me sushi and tell me I'm pretty." We were seated immediately, and the waiter was super prompt and friendly with anything we needed. We started by trying all of the premium "one per person" options and then branched out to other stuff on the menu. Our favorite bites off the specials were the Awabi--seared abalone with kizami wasabi that just oozes buttery charred goodness in your mouth, Harasu--salmon belly with kizami wasabi, Hotate--jumbo scallop served on a cucumber slice with kizami wasabi and smelt eggs, and of course, both expressions of their Toro. Honorable mention for their Hirame, as well. Some appetizer standouts are the tako wasabi (SO good, please try it!) and their skewers! We love the bacon scallop skewer and the bacon asparagus skewer. I'd pass on their takoyaki. On their regular menu, we loved the garlic bluefin tuna and the garlic salmon (something about that garlic sauce is crack). We also loved the yuzu yellowtail, unagi, snapper, and the MACKEREL!!! To be honest, their non-sauced tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and albacore were all mid, but the rest of the pieces we mentioned make up for it. We don't really order rolls, so we can't speak to that. Next time, I'd be very curious to try more of their Korean dishes, because we tried their bulgogi yubu and it was quite tasty! This was our second time here, and it was so much fun to continue exploring the menu. We outlasted two other tables that came in after us, and made full use of their 90 minute time limit. The way I see it: sometimes you want to have delicious, traditional, masterfully crafted sushi. And sometimes you want to shove as much pretty-decent sushi as you possibly can into your face. Here Fishy Fishy is there for when you want the latter.
