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.
