Soma Suisan

Definitely, this is the best place to eat tuna in Los Angeles. The excellent price and great quality of the lunch is unparalleled. The price of this tuna dong is comparable to that of Tokyo's Seagen, and the rice and wasabi are even better than Seagen's. The soy sauce has also been processed and is very tasty. With this experience I decided to pay another visit in the evening. Evenings are not as cost-effective as lunch, but there are more options. For an izakaya, they did a very good job with the buttered scallops with three types of mushrooms in them, and the scallops had a very high quality and were very flavorful. Umaki's fire is also fantastic. The fish used for the sushi was equally excellent, the whites didn't have that rotten taste that many restaurants have and was very fresh. That Dinner's Chirashi wasn't as excellent as the tuna offered at lunch, but it was still a great choice at that price. With the aura of so many great qualities, the other flaws don't really matter that much anymore, you guys are good enough. I can say but Bowl for lunch you guys are the best Japanese restaurant in LA. But I think you can try to use better eggs for your dishes. the Tamago in Chirashi, and the eggs in Umaki don't have much flavor, which is a small drawback. Then there's the sea urchin that I wish you guys would have chosen differently, the one we had tonight was the worst thing at this meal. After I brought this up, manager gave me a different sea urchin to try, but honestly neither were excellent. But I actually suspect that the experience made me eat the same sea urchin, the first time it was the part that was pressed further down, while the second time I may have opened a new box or put it on the top part. The manager didn't look too happy after getting my feedback lol, I understand that very well, but I hope my review was helpful and expect you to do better in the future.

A new contender for the best Japanese food in Los Angeles has arrived! This brand new spot is an absolute gem, offering an experience that truly transports you to Japan. The fish is, without a doubt, the best I've had in LA – incredibly authentic with plain, super high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves. While it's not a "sceney" place, the atmosphere is lovely and inviting, and the prices are remarkably fair for the exceptional quality you receive. You absolutely must try the tuna platter with five different cuts; it's unique, artfully presented, and utterly amazing. This place deserves to become super popular – go try it now!

super fresh fish, rice also perfect, no need to choose, just order and enjoy any fish you like.

A well-known tuna wholesaler from Tokyo's Toyosu Market has opened its first restaurant in the U.S. I got to try rare cuts of tuna I had never experienced before: the head (nōten), cheek, and throat. Each piece offered a different texture and depth of flavor. So fresh and expertly prepared—it was unforgettable. Beyond the tuna, the entire menu was thoughtfully curated. From delicate appetizers to beautifully crafted sushi, homemade desserts, every dish reflected the chef’s attention to detail and passion for quality ingredients. The prices were more than fair. I will definitely be coming back.

I went during soft opening. Really like the salmon & tuna don, fresh and overflowing amount of fish, the rice was also perfect.

ランチでしたがとてもリーズナブルで美味しいランチでした。 刺身は日本からで大満足です！ また、行きたいお店です！

If you're a sushi lover you should absolutely try Soma Suisan. This little spot on La Cienga is just off of Melrose. There's plenty of street parking or it's a quick walk from West Hollywood. The vibes inside are really calm. The dining room is broken up into a few smaller spaces so it would feel a little more secluded even if every table was full. The service was outstanding. The servers are really nice, very knowledgeable about the chefs techniques and super attentive. The food came out quickly and was well paced. Really incredible service, I haven't had service this good in a long time. The food was great. I was dining with one other person and we ordered: addictive cucumber, fried eggplant, umami French fries, calamari salad, kanpachi carpaccio, tuna sampler, butter hotate scallops, unagi nigiri and a grilled salmon yaki. We also ordered pot of hot tea. Not big drinkers but the drink menu looked well rounded for a small restaurant. All the food was good, we finished almost everything. The standouts were the addictive cucumber, kanpachi carpaccio, calamari salad and the tuna sampler. The cucumber was delicious and salty. The calamari in the salad was fried super crispy but didn't taste like oil - the fry was light and crunchy in a way that highlighted the calamari. The tuna sampler was a great way to experience different cuts & flavors of tuna. The pieces were all awesome in their own way. The kanpachi carpaccio was delicious and definitely our favorite. I could eat it every day. Really clean flavors that were unique. Overall, the food was awesome. We decided to eat dessert somewhere else but I totally regret it. We should have stayed for matcha tiramisu or sweet potato brûlée. I obviously recommend trying soma suisan!

So grateful that a friend recommended this new spot to me in its infancy. Once in a while you learn about greatness in some form or another- in this case it's in the form of a classy authentic stylish Japanese restaurant legitimately serving up the best fish I've had in CA. We celebrated my wife's birthday and despite having some food allergies the server and chef collaborated and they provided the perfect omakase solutions throughout the night. The evening was full of happy little surprises... one of the most memorable were the box of uniquely individual sake ceramic cups that we chose from, along with our server describing the cuts of fish some of which as a japanese descendent have never been introduced to... to the matcha tiramisu which alone was worth traveling for. We were with a couple of friends that are from the food industry in NYC and they couldn't wait to bring back friends and family too. The service was special the ambiance and music was fresh and the food was just a whole bunch of happy delicious surprises.

The famous tuna wholesaler from Toyosu Market in Tokyo has opened their first izakaya in the U.S. I was amazed by the sashimi cuts I had never tried before--tuna head (nōten), cheek, and throat--each with its own unique texture and rich flavor. Needless to say, it was incredibly fresh. But it wasn't just the tuna that stood out. The other seafood dishes, sushi, and the well-balanced menu all showcased the chef's skill and deep respect for the ingredients. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality. I'm thrilled to add this restaurant to my go-to list.

We came here for lunch today and ordered the nigiri sushi set, while my wife ordered the toro and tuna bowl. It was some of the freshest sushi I've had in LA, and the restaurant still has the exact same ambience as Raku. It's beautiful inside. I can't wait to try their dinner menu next

My friend and I are excited to try Soma Suiasan soft opening. It's at the former Gozen space. We came for lunch. They have good deals for lunch special. Their lunch menu only has few items, which means they are focused on their ingredients. I had the Tuna & Toro Mt. Fuji Bowl. Their fish is from Toyosu Market in Japan. They specialize in maguro (tuna). It was good and very nice with the marinated Ikura (Salmon Roe). I love their housemade ice cream. They had mango, ginger, sakura, sesame, and matcha green tea flavors available. The ginger flavor was special. The manager is nice. It's metered street parking, $1 for an hour, max 2 hours during the day.

The service and staff are great and they have a good selection small plates and sushi options. We ordered a little bit of both to try, since it was our first time. I have to say come here for drinks and the cooked items. There are better places for sushi in the area.

It was a great surprise to stumble upon this place while we were in town this weekend. We were looking for sushi and the description intrigued us so we stopped by only to find out that it had just opened under all new management and remodel and they are relatively new. I've been to a lot of great high-end sushi restaurants in this has to be one of the top ones I've been to. The owner came to the table and really broke down everything beautifully for us and provided us with a great experience with the exact right fish, and the right beverages to go with it and everything was flawless and beautiful. Treat yourself.

We had the pleasure of trying Soma Suisan for the first time today. The whole experience was truly incredible. The quality of the fish is elite. They source their tuna from Japan, and even though it travels overseas it is so fresh and full of flavor. You don't find this kind of quality in a lot of sushi places. Their appetizers are special too, like their creamy tofu. It is very light and refreshing, but with a perfectly comforting taste to it. It goes well with the sashimi. The crab croquettes were also very high quality and the outside was perfectly fried without being dense. Their dessert was some of the best I've had. We ordered their ginger ice cream (with real ginger pieces--none of that artificial ginger taste) and the purple potato brûlée. The brûlée was not sweet and unlike anything I've had before. So delectable. And the staff are so friendly and dedicated. We spoke to the chef for a while who really seemed passionate about his work, and the waitress was so kind with a beautiful heart. The owner really did a good job with this place! The inside is very cleanly decorated, the ambience feels--upper class Japanese if that makes sense. The pillows have the indent in the middle--like decorative pillows should--and the modern-looking chandelier adds a nice touch. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! We will be back. Best wishes for your grand opening! -Mori family

Dinner with a group of girlfriends during their "soft" soft opening was a delight. Great food, KILLER sashimi, and great ambiance. Love how they present a cedar box full of small sake glasses for you to select your glass for the night~ The kamameshi at the end was great too. We had the salmon and ikura (salmon roe) one, and NOT a stingy portion of the seafood~ The other table was having the crab and scallop one. I want to try that one next time~ And their homemade icecream was great too (I liked the cherry blossom flavor) .

It's one of the less expensive omakase in L A. The tuna and toro were very good, but variety of other kind of fish was limited. Nevertheless, it's a sushi place that offers good value.

The food was great and an incredible value for the quality. My lunch special was the tuna and toro bowl, which comes with miso soup and a side salad, for $28. It had 10 full sized sashimi pieces (5 tuna, 5 toro), ground toro and more chopped pieces of tuna underneath the ground fish that isn't visible in the photo. All this atop sushi rice. Just pure quality, no sauces needed to mask any funky flavors. Service and ambiance were A+ as well.

The food, the service the ambience was all 100% fabulous Brand new management who are so gracious

Fantastic restaurant . Great lunch specials ! Can't wait to go back and check out dinner. Excellent food, service and atmosphere .

I had a great dinner with my friends at Soma Susan. Friendly staff and great service! The quality of the food was amazing for the price we paid. They are known for their tuna and the sashimi was amazing!! We even tried a rare part that was the throat part of the tuna fish which was almost like a steak!! (Got too excited and completely forgot the picture )Fantastic vibe and can't wait to go back to visit with my family. Pictured is crab cream croquet (2 portion ), clay pot rice with salmon and Ikura, amazing silky tofu

My friends and I here last night . The food was absolutely delicious! And the service was impeccable. The ambiance is cozy, unpretentious, and refined. The feeling inside the restaurant was relaxed. Highly recommend visiting !!

Maybe it was a fluke but we ate here on Friday and had the WORST food poisoning. The service was thoughtful and the food all looked good (and was reasonably priced) but we have been paying for it for two days. I wish I could isolate the specific dish that did this, but suffice to say I won't be returning to find out.

The new go to spot in West Hollywood for authentic Japanese food. The ambiance is so cozy. We had a large group that was seated next to the fireplace. The food was all amazing fresh sushi, homemade tofu, snow crab and rice. You must order the desserts! Service was excellent and will back for sure!
