10/10 on all aspects, can’t recommend Sushi Palace more! From the food, service, ambience and more, everything was fantastic. The head chef, Max brought out most dishes himself and our server Elise was great. The food, especially all the seafood was so fresh and the attention to detail was top notch. For drinks: Bubble Bath is not only super cute but tastes great too. If you like spicy drinks the Shy Hinata was amazing. Small plates: German dumpfnudel (dumpling) with butter was so tasty and the miso soup had a lot of flavor. The spicy tuna crispy rice was the best I’ve had in LA, the rice was cooked so well it basically fell apart. Nigiri: salmon and hamachi were so fresh In the “new style sashimi” we got the scallop tataki and the flavor was so incredible. Dessert - the brownie with valrhona was to die for!!! Do not skip on that.

Yeon sushi is a close 7 minute walk to The Wiltern theater. We saw a show there so decided to eat sushi and then walk to the show from there. The food is good - super fresh sushi and the chef takes great care in preparing each dish. The service was good and the ambiance is fine. It is located in a little strip mall so nothing special but it is clean and nice. The menu is fairly limited but the fish is very fresh (no fishy smells) and the chef was really good. I would come back for the food.

We made a reservation for 7pm and there was a hockey game at the arena next door so it was super crowded and super loud inside. We were seated right away and our server was very good. After the game started at 7:30 the crowd thinned out and we were able to have a normal volume conversation instead of yelling at each other from 2 feet away. The food was prepared and served quickly and everything was delicious. The chocolate cake dessert recommended by our server was sooo good.
