Sora handroll bar

Actually and honestly, this is one of the best meals I've had in my life. The food is so good it literally makes you say "Oh my god" every single bite. It makes your eyelids flutter. You can get anything and you'll be blown away. everything tastes SO fresh it's crazy. It's not cheap at all but it's so good it's actually worth every single penny. The service is outstanding, the drinks are just as "wow" worthy as the food. The bar is a little on the cramped side but it's for sure the best way to enjoy it. Each hand roll comes out one at a time and gives you time to enjoy the extreme quality for just the right amount of time. Treat yourself, go here, and don't hold back. Don't worry about the money, just get what you want and if you want more, get some more! I'm looking for excuses to come back here more than I have already.

We had an amazing experience at Sora- a gorgeous little rooftop with delicious hand rolls and fantastic drinks. We loved the spicy salmon and red snapper hand rolls- super fresh and bursting with bright flavors. The only thing better than the food was the service. Our server, Anthony, was a true delight. He greeted us with the sweetest smile and made us feel right at home, checking in on us throughout the evening. We cannot wait to return for another fun Saturday date night!

Food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was delightful. Service is quick, polite, and consistent, which makes the whole dining experience smooth. It’s clear the staff Mari and Jose care about making guests feel welcome and taken care of. Thank you for the enjoyable experience.

Stopped by Sora Hand Roll on a whim on a crisp Sunday afternoon, and I’m so glad I did. The food was phenomenal—everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The staff were absolutely wonderful, making the whole experience even better. I ended up staying for a few hours and tried more than a few items off the menu; every single one was delicious. I think I’ve found my new favorite spot in the neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back!

Sora Hand Roll Bar is an absolute gem in LA! The hand rolls here are next-level—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. I highly recommend adding the caviar, uni, and ikura—those add-ons take the experience to a whole new level of indulgence. The balance of textures and umami is unreal. You can tell the ingredients are top quality, and the chefs really care about the presentation. The vibe inside is modern yet cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you’re a hand roll lover, this spot is a must-visit! @sushitraveler

Sora is really pretty and brand new, and the food is honestly so tasty. The cocktail I had was great too, and was 50% off for happy hour. I just have two complaints. 1) It’s quite expensive for what it is. We each paid $65, and left hungry. 2) If you sit on the patio, rather than at the counter, your hand rolls will be served with plastic protectors on the seaweed to keep it crisp. I really wish we could’ve opted out of this, but we weren’t given the choice. The plastic is great for to go orders, or on a day when the restaurant is really busy and orders may stack up. But we were literally the only ones there on a Wednesday afternoon, and our rolls were devoured within 2 minutes of being served. The plastic was a little annoying and made the filling slide out. TL;DR - Pricy but tasty. Best for happy hour drinks and light bites. If you come hungry, you’ll pay a lot.

This is a great little restaurant with great food and lovely staff. It’s somewhat difficult to figure out how to get to it - no clear signpost until you’re basically on its steps. There’s also no host downstairs and you make your way up the stairs (to the side of the Savita restaurant) only to be told that you should’ve waited downstairs to be seated. The food is fresh and delicious but too much of the same thing gets boring after a while. Apart from the yuzu snapper, everything else we tried was coated in the same sweet sauce which kills the individual flavors of the seafood so everything (whether waygu, eggplant, salmon or black cod) tastes the same. The passionfruit margarita is one of the best I ever had. Another thing to know is that - if parking in the Grove parking lot - you still have to pay at least $4.50 even after applying the parking validation discount.

Amazing!!! Love this new restaurant. Food is a culinary joy. Elegant, flavourful & well crafted. Ambiance is beautiful. I used the InKind app that is also a plus. Make sure to ask for parking validation.

A delicious, simple and unique take on sushi! Located on the outskirts of the Grove's Farmers Market, there is 1.5 hours of free parking with validation. At first we were a little confused by the location as you have to enter thru another restaurant Savta to go upstairs to get to Sora. We didn't realize they were operated by the same person/company. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. They also have some seating inside. Our server was really nice and friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. We are not a huge fan of raw fish so we ordered the eggplant, potato cricket, tofu, Cali and smoked salmon hand rolls. All of the rolls we had were delicious! The flavors were on point and everything tasted so fresh. Loved that they have vegetarian options. We will have to come back with our sushi loving family members.

Where do I start ... we are at a rooftop overlooking the city enjoying some of the best drinks and food we've had in a long time!!! Snapper was spectacular and the drinks were delightful The best part from beginning to end is the service - super welcoming, professional and most of all genuinely kind and friendly. We started with David who was the sweetest and funniest with us and patient while we figured out what we wanted and made some epic suggestion. Then we closed out the experience with Anthony who was attentive, kept our table clean and tidy and made sure we were safe from the sun as it was setting in our eyes. what a great experience overall and worth the visit for sure !!

LOVE! You won't find a place like this in La! I love the location, I love that it's a rooftop, it's so nice sitting outside with such a great vibe and energy. Service was wonderful, so nice, friendly, and accommodating. It's not the easiest place to bring a dog because of space, but they were very pet friendly. Now for the food, we tried probably half time items on the menu and there was not a single thing we didn't like. Our server recommended the red snapper items and she was spot on, they were superb! I'm definitely adding this place to my rotation and I can't wait to introduce friends to this place.

Hot diggity. Came across this place and booked a reservation to come with my best for some delicious dining. Anthony and Angel was so kind and thoroughly explained the menu. We ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice, Devine! We got the kumamoto red snapper, Toro truffle, spicy bluefin, everything smoked salmon and the shizuoka salmon. Delicious!! Topped it off with passion fruit panna cotta! Oh and of course had the lychee martini and the passion fruit margarita. Roof top on a beautiful Friday early evening! Def visit!

Inside is tiny but cozy. The triple alone for one handroll was 32.00. However, it tasted like heaven. The wagyu was delicious and the cod is meh. Didn't taste fresh to me. I also asked for tuna on rice cakes and something was off. Sent it back. Service was spot on. Very friendly and on top of everything. Park in the farmers market so you can get validated.

To-go order review: Sora and Savta---- same owner, so this is located above Savta. Can easily be missed, but check in is at the same stand as Savta. Since we didn't have a reservation and they couldn't seat our party of 6, we ordered to-go. We got 10 hand rolls. My fave was the toro truffle and uni. I'd love to dine in next time. Fish was fresh and I loved the flavor combos. Docking a star because I think the hostess could have been nicer..

Let me tell you this place did not dissapoint. It might be my new favorite hand roll bar located on the second floor of safta in the farmers market. Their food has amazing taste and flavors with the red snapper hand roll and toro being my top favorites. You can't go wrong with any of their hand rolls. Their service was fantastic and I love how they had an indoor outdoor seating with great lighting. I will be back here again and can't wait to try other things off the menu.

Truly a great hidden gem of the original farmer's market! I've been wanting to come here since I've seen videos of the spot online. I'm a huge sushi fan and a sucker for hand rolls so it was only right to come to this rooftop hand roll experience. We went on an empty day so it was nice to see the restaurant for itself without many customers. We sat at the bar and it's always fun to watch the chefs at work. The restaurant is very pretty and has a sleek and modern look to it. I really like the relaxing vibes it gives off. The service was great! There was always someone in close distance incase we needed anything or any refills on our drinks. We placed our orders in for a variety of the hand rolls and the great part about sitting at the bar, is that it's delivered right to you from the chef. Every single one just melted in my mouth. Like literally. My favorite was definitely the seared toro and the wagyu! Our drinks were also super delicious and were a great kick to have to the hand rolls. I definitely want to come back during my next visit to the farmers market.

Fantastic lunch special! Included the spicy tuna crispy rice, edamame, albacore sashimi, and three temaki of my choosing. We sat at the bar and had efficient service and a great experience. The restaurant is tucked away upstairs in the Farmers Market and has a very cool vibe. Overall food was good, the temaki was a bit on the saucy side.

It was hard to find this spot for us, but the place is located on the 2nd floor on top Savta at the Farmer's Market (next to Starbucks). You enter by going up the stairs through Savta. You get validation afterwards, but heads up that this validation won't work for the Grove structure parking! We weren't sure how their system worked so we sat ourselves since we did not see any waiters attend to us while we were waiting downstairs (even though we saw one just staring and smiling at us). We were told we needed reservations, but they let us sit anyway since it was almost empty. Most of the 2 seater round tables were tiny, and it felt overwhelming as soon as I sat since there were too many unnecessary things on the table (as you can see from the picture). Please change this :( Our server was really nice and welcoming, and gave us a heads up that the most people get 3-5 temaki and each is around 2 bites. The food was light, delicious, and refreshing- I had 5 temakis: shizouka salmon, everything smoked salmon, tuna, tuna poke, kumamoto yellowtail jalapeno while friend got everything smoked salmon and scallops. The only thing about the temakis is the plastic wrap- while I understand that the purpose may be to keep the seaweed fresh and crispy, it was unnecessary and bothersome. Customers are already ready to eat the tiny temakis so having to unwrap it with the likeliness of the whole thing falling apart is inconvenient. I really wish they would change this. Other than that, my friend really liked this place and mentioned she would come back again!

Finally able to try this place for lunch. Had the miso soup, baked crab and I forget what the other hand roll was, but everything was very flavorful and extremely fresh.. The hand rolls are more like open-faced tacos. They're a bit expensive. And they have little plastic things on the seaweed you have to pull off, which is smart for the seaweed, but not smart for the environment (*thank you for coming to my Ted Talk*). This was more like a treat more than a lunch. Our server was lovely and attentive. It is hard to find to the entrance, though. You have to go through Savta, below, which I believe is the same ownership group. One callout: no elevators to get upstairs, so lacking in the ADA-complaint department. Still five stars, though.

Sora is located on the second floor, above Savta, in the farmers market area of The Grove. It's on the exterior corner, facing 3rd and Fairfax. The handroll bar area is small and intimate, which I like. There's also outdoor patio seating, but I enjoy getting the handrolls directly from the chefs behind the bar. We were seated immediately and our server, Angel, was super attentive and had such great energy! My friend and I ordered everything to share: We started with the yellowtail sashimi jalapeño ponzu appetizer, which is a crudo type of situation. I loved yellowtail's slightly sweet and buttery flavor, paired with the citrus in the ponzu and textural variety of the jalapeño. A very tasty dish. 9/10. The first handroll was the shizuoka salmon truffle signature temaki. You could really taste the truffle. 8/10. The seared toro signature temaki was good too. It was served with soy sauce, yuzu paste, and garlic chips. The yuzu flavor cut through the fattiness of the toro very nicely. 8.5/10. We also got the black cod miso signature temaki (came with eel sauce and phyllo). Love a miso and black cod dish. It was warm, buttery, and flavorful. So good! 9/10. We tried the toro truffle jalapeño signature temaki as well, which comes with cucumber, cilantro, truffle oil, and wasabi. This one was really good. The toro and truffle oil were fatty and rich, and the cucumber and cilantro added freshness and brightened up the overall. 9/10. The scallops signature temaki (with ponzu, masago, toasted panko, eel). Super fresh. The masago and toasted panko added some nice texture and the ponzu added a light zest. 8/10. I've been checking out a lot of handroll spots throughout Los Angeles, and I like to compare everything to Kazunori as a baseline (warm rice, fresh fish, simple and classic handrolls). But I do enjoy more adventurous pairings and flavors. Sora has the classic temakis like salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, but they're generally spruced up a bit with a bit of an extra something (jalapeño, crispy shallots, eel sauce, crispy onion, etc.), which I like. They also have more interesting items like The Trio (Santa Barbara uni, toro, and caviar) that I would love to try next time. They don't do set menus like a lot of other handroll places, but a la carte gives more freedom for options. Overall, a great experience. Delicious handrolls and friendly staff - a great time :)

This is a good place to get your temaki fix. The restaurant is in second floor with rooftop and indoor bar vibes. It's very inviting and perfect hangout place with friends. Service is great, from checking in at lower floor to escorting you to your table. They explain everything to us. Your temaki will be made one by one and if you are seated by the bar, they will give you a stand where they will put your order. It's all made fresh and refreshingly delicious! I've ordered the Trio, which is fusion of toro, Hokkaido uni and caviar, it was melt in your mouth experience! Next one that I like is the Toro Truffle Jalapeño, you can taste the truffle and the tuna is so good! Note that this could get expensive.

Amazing experience with an outstanding meal... Obviously heard about this place from social media. which didn't even know that there was a restaurant here let alone a new sushi place. We came for a late lunch which also happened to be happy hour. It's located at the farmers market just above the Starbucks. There's another restaurant downstairs which also shares the same bar and restroom. I believe they have a different menu. Once upstairs, we sat on the patio that overlooks out to the street. They also have outside bar seating, inside dining seating and there's also the actual bar counter. It was nice out so we opted for the patio. Menu is pretty much plain and to the point. They have a few starters and the rest is temaki. Also as it was happy hour, cocktail was 11.00 and oyster was 2.50 a piece. Started off with the crispy rice and spicy tuna. A popular item as told. The yellow tail sashimi and a cucumber salad. And half dozen of oyster. Everything was excellent, sashimi was perfectly seasoned with the sauce. Crispy rice, perfect crunch on the outside and soft rice on the inside. Oyster was excellent with the mignonette sauce. Starters alone were excellent and that was just the beginning. Also cocktail, the espresso martini was a hit as well As Paloma and a glass of prosecco. Second round, with the lychees martini, another excellent choice. Mains, a selections of temaki. Everything that was had was all excellent. Presentation was great. Simply place on the wooden tray with plastic wrap. They even have instructions on how to remove the wrapper. Top contender, spicy lobster, albacore, red snapper, blue fin tuna, black cod, and toro truffles to name a few. Basically everything we ordered. Just enough fish with rice on the seaweed. One or two bites and that is it. But worth every single bite. It's an easy eat which they recommend 3 to 5 piece per person. A second round of temaki was needed. Everything is a la carte but they did have a trio on the menu. Food was excellent and the fish was very fresh. Service was great. Friendly staff which makes its memorable. Drinks of course were excellent and with happy hour price, score. This place did live up to the hype from social media. Will definitely for sure be back. Also, they validate for the farmers market.

Came one night a little before closing because I was craving hand rolls. Everything was amazing but I did feel rushed which I understand, they were going to close soon. Still got to try some really good stuff and sit outside on a nice summer night. I hope to come back and try more!

It's more like 4.75 stars. This place is great! Located on the south west side of the Grove and upstairs to another restaurant that starts with an S next to Dupar's, this place has a resort-y type aesthetic and feel with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat at the cocktail bar and most of the staff told us their favorites before ordering. We had tons of their Temaki rolls including the toro truffle jalapeño, coconut shrimp, baked crab, spicy bluefin and so much more! Plus we also had apps of spicy tuna on crispy rice and the newly added yellowtail jalapeño. Taking off the tiniest .25 star only because the plastic wrap they put on each roll when served not at their bar seems excessive and it seemed like one of the servers kept forgetting to put in our orders so we had to wait a little longer for a few rounds than we would have liked but that's only because each dish was so tasty good! We also learned that you can order from the restaurant's menu downstairs so next time we go we will probably add some yummy fries to our order. Can't wait!

Located above the new Savata restaurant in the Framers market, Sora is a lovely spot to enjoy the great California weather. There is a surprising amount of seating (indoor and outdoor) for such a small space. Due to the afternoon sun, about 3pm, my friend and I opted to sit inside. Inside is basically only bar seating inside but comfortable and fun be close to the action. The food, while pricey, is delicious. Each temaki is about 2 bites and they range from $8 on the low end to $32 at the most expensive. Despite it being 2 bites my friend and I were able to share them. We started with the Spicy tuna crispy rice (4 pieces $16) and the Kumamoto red snapper truffle yuzu (6 pieces $16). Both were lovely. The crisy rice was perfectly crispy with the right amount of sauce and spice. The red snapper was a great, light dish for a hot sunny day. I am not a big truffle fan but this still worked for me. For the mains we shared the The trio: toro, Hokkaido uni, caviar ($32) and Seared Japanese A5 wagyu: tare sauce, crispy garlic ($17). Both were delicious, well balanced, and expertly executed. Even when taking bite, nothing fell apart. Everything stayed intact and therefore shareable. Again, a pricey meal but very tasty and super fresh. Everything is essentially made to order but you don't have to wait long and the service is friendly and attentive. I would love to go back but perhaps when I have a better budget

Absolutely beautiful evening at Sora, a new rooftop attached to the historic farmers market at the grove. Besides the amazing customer service, led by our server Gaya, the food was delicious!! The manager also stopped by our table to check in on us and provide menu recommendations- I am so glad I listened! My favorite was the coconut shrimp and the waygu. The crispy rice spicy tuna appetizer is a MUST!! The Nutella pizza was a nice sweet ending to this delicious meal. So glad we stumbled upon this gem and will be returning soon! Thank you Gaya and team!

First time visitor, turned long time customer. The food- delicious! Customer service - fantastic. Mari our waitress was incredible and sooo personable. Isabella and Jose were in the kitchen truly creating art. I've never had temaki and enjoyed every last bite. Thank you to Mari, Jose, & Isabella for making our experience.

Food & atmosphere AMAZING 100/10!! Our server Mari made all the difference and made our experience TOP NOTCH! The chef Isabella creates beautiful and tasty dishes! A must try in LA!!

Trendy temaki bar at the Original Farmer's Market! I had dinner here with a group of three friends on a Friday night. We sat on the patio. As the sun was setting, there were plenty of heat lamps to keep us warm through the night. The food was delicious. The fresh, high-quality ingredients were front and center. The service was exceptional! The decor is a simple Japandi style, but the space is very small. We were able to order (2) appetizers, (1) cocktail each, and (4) temaki each. We spent around ~$90 per person. There is free (2) hr parking with validation. DRINKS Spicy margarita - Beautifully assembled and delicious! APPETIZERS Edamame - A classic. Nothing special. A few pods were a little overcooked, but still tasted good. Spicy tuna crispy rice - Another classic. Small for an appetizer. Probably shareable for two. TEMAKI Kumamoto red snapper - This was recommended by the server. Interesting flavor profile. Coconut shrimp - Comfy and easy to eat. Spicy lobster - Flavorful. My favorite of the night! Shizuoka - Perfect amount of truffle oil on the salmon. Very fresh fish!

First off...This place is confusing to find! It's def a hidden gem!! It is attached to SAVTA restaurant upstairs right next to Dupars. Don't bother waiting for the host at the bottom - just walk upstairs so they can attend you.We were waiting /standing for a long time before we decided to just walk upstairs and let them know we had reservations. Must say these handrolls are yummy and refreshing. Each roll is prepared beautifully. My fav are the following : Spicy Lobster Spicy Tuna Toro Truffle Coconut Shrimp Drinks: not my fav. Passion fruit Margarita was too tart. Parking: $$ parking lot

This is said to be the first rooftop temaki bar in LA, and it's such a cool spot! The atmosphere is fantastic and the servers were all really warm and attentive. They use fresh ingredients imported straight from Japan, and the harmony of flavors--especially the toro, uni, and caviar--was absolutely on point. The rice portion was just right, and even the seaweed had great texture and flavor. It would be even better if they had side dishes like noodles or udon. Definitely recommending this place for date nights!

Sora Temaki Bar is officially my new go-to sushi spot. I tried the spicy yellowtail, baked crab roll, and crispy rice with tuna and every bite was better than the last. The spicy yellowtail was packed with flavor and super fresh, but honestly, everything was fire. I also had two lychee martinis, and WOW so smooth and delicious. I could've had three (okay, maybe four ). The vibe of the place is unique and elevated, definitely not your typical sushi night. I sat at the bar and loved how everything was served fresh, one roll at a time. The presentation alone was chef's kiss. Shoutout to Angel, my server super sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful sushi experience that feels a little different (in the best way), this is it.

Clean and bright ambiance, friendly staff and quality ingredients. Just came for lunch today and would highly recommend the signature red snapper temaki, it was so good I had to order it twice! Overall prices are a bit steep but still good sushi

Sora? More like Sorry. If you're looking for mediocre food, chaotic service, and birthday-level disappointment, congratulations--you've found your place. We came to Sora in Mid-City to celebrate a friend's birthday, and what we got instead was a full-blown masterclass in how not to run a restaurant. Let's start with the service: confused, forgetful, and unapologetically slow. Orders were wrong, corrections were sloppy, and basic requests felt like we were asking for the moon. And the birthday candle? Nonexistent. Imagine sitting through an underwhelming dinner only to have them forget the one thing that made us pick this place in the first place. It's giving "we're new here and have no idea what we're doing." Rookie moves, all around. Plenty of restaurants in LA know how to make guests feel special--Sora just isn't one of them. Do better.

Really enjoyed our meal here. They've only been open for a month but have made sure to get everything up to standard. Go up the stairs near dupar's and you'll find this really cute temaki bar. Red snapper! Perfect the way it is and my favorite bite. I also really enjoyed the coconut shrimp. That one was surprisingly good. And we had to order another. We ordered the toro and wagyu but didn't like the eel sauce pairing. (You'll find eel sauce on most of their temakis) it's great with some but too much on others. I don't think it needed to be on the black cod miso or the wagyu or the snow crab I didn't realize eel sauce was on all of those when I was ordering until they came out. I will say the quality of all ingredients are very high though. All the fish were fresh and cut properly. We will definitely be coming back but will be more strategic about ordering.

Love that there is now a rooftop option at the farmers market! I came by on a Sunday night at 7:30, and my fiancé and I were the only two people inside the entire time we were there. There were a couple tables occupied outside, but I wanted to enjoy the sushi bar experience! We started with drinks: I got the hulk and my fiancé got the old fashioned. His was great, but mine was a little forgettable. Not ice cold and all I really tasted was cucumber. The night we went, they were out of edamame so we started with the cucumber salad and spicy tuna crispy rice. Cucumber salad was basically vinegar soup with about half of a miniature cucumber shaved thin. Tasty, but I'd say not worth it. Just jump right into the Temaki! The crispy rice was fresh and warm. You get 4 small pieces for $14. The crispy rice tasted almost like McDonald's in a good way? The tuna was flavorful, but not too spicy. Now, the temaki are not built to be shared but we couldn't decide what to try so we ended up passing them back and forth. We tried: red snapper, spicy bluefin tuna, yellowtail jalapeño, seared toro, salmon cucumber, spicy salmon, tuna poke, black cod miso, and the seared salmon. The standout for me was the red snapper which was so delicately prepared with the perfect wasabi kick (I had to order a second one so I could have it all to myself!), meanwhile my fiancé's favorite was the tuna poke. The black miso cod was a nice warm contrast to the raw fish and would be a great way to ease into the temaki or finish it off. The rest kind of blended together to me. They were all good, but not as unique. We haven't had the chance to try the sister restaurant Savta yet, but thankfully since they share a kitchen, the dessert menu is shared! We ordered the Nutella pizza and it was delicious, even though we were so stuffed. The dough was bouncy and crispy, with warm Nutella on top. I definitely recommend sitting at the sushi bar and hearing the description of all of the dishes from the chef himself. There's no way to get a fresher bite, too!

So excited for this new location at the grove!!! It was absolutely delish! Price point was decent, especially for the location! YAYS: Spicy tuna jalapeño Black cod Red Snapper Nays: Seared toro - wasn't my favorite flavor, the fresh tuna was so much more flavorful Thoughts: - Spicy tuna crispy rice - the flavor was a little lacking, and the rice was super sticky. I think it may have been a little overcooked cause it stuck to my teeth like glue! **Next time I'm trying to albacore crispy onions! - Their green tea is BOTTLED, and that wasn't specified on the menu. It also had like 28 g of sugar. I would've lived a fresh option with such fresh fish. - I didn't think about it till after cause I wanted to experience everything as it is presented, but an offering of wasabi would have been the cherry on top. I felt some of the rolls would've only been improved with a bit of wasabi kick. - service was kind and attentive! DEFINITELY RETURNING! I have to try the trio!!!

Great rooftop sushi spot with a few hits and misses! We had a great time at Sora - the space itself is beautiful and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the Red Snapper and the Truffle Toro handroll - both were incredible! We also got the Spicy Crispy Rice Tuna, which was delicious. The virgin passion fruit mojitos were super refreshing and perfectly balanced. A couple of misses: the edamame was overcooked and mushy, so I'd skip that next time. Also, the Red Snapper handroll was better than the appetizer version, in case you're choosing between the two. One odd thing - the handrolls come in plastic sleeves, presumably to keep the seaweed crispy, but it felt unnecessarily wasteful and actually made eating them harder - the fillings nearly came out each time. All in all, would definitely return for the sushi and vibes

Sora is located upstairs from Savta--you'll still check in at Savta's host stand, and they'll escort you upstairs. Both spots are part of the same restaurant group. The space is small, so I highly recommend making a reservation. It's definitely on the pricier side for handrolls, but the quality makes it worth it. Great starters include the SPICY TUNA CRISPY RICE and the KUMAMOTO RED SNAPPER with TRUFFLE YUZU. The rolls themselves are smaller than average, so I needed about five to feel full. I had the RED SNAPPER again--it's surprisingly different from the sashimi. Standouts included the TORO TRUFFLE JALAPENO, A5 WAGYUM SPICY BLUEFIN TUNA, and the TRIO ROLL, which combines toro, Hokkaido uni, and caviar in one bite. The only downside was the use of plastic sheets to keep the seaweed crisp--you remove them just before eating. While I get the purpose, it does feel like a lot of unnecessary plastic waste. ENJOY! PS: Park in the Farmers Market lot--closest to Starbucks--and you'll see Savta right there. They validate parking, so it ended up being free!

I came to Sora for the first time with low expectations--let's be real, sushi spots inside popular malls like The Grove aren't usually known for top-tier quality. But I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything was beautifully prepared. We walked in with no reservation and were seated right away with zero wait time. The hand rolls were the highlight--super flavorful with a perfect balance of rice, nori, and fresh cuts of fish. You can really tell they put care into the sourcing and prep. Not only did the presentation impress, but the taste exceeded what I've had at some standalone sushi spots in LA. Definitely worth a visit if you're at The Grove or nearby. A hidden gem in a place you wouldn't expect it.

The restaurant has only been open for two months, and it's hidden on the second floor of the marketplace at The Grove. It's a quaint little Temaki bar with an indoor outdoor flow to the floor plan and has nice minimalist decor throughout. We chose to sit outdoors as the indoor barstools didn't have backing, but it was a nice day out and the patio overlooks the busy interaction, great for people watching! The menu has the standard temaki options (~$7-11/piece), and also the Sora Signature options(~$12-16/piece). We went with the Poke, Scallops, Crab, and Eel. The presentation of the Temaki was cute with the the seaweed part wrapped in a plastic cover, which you'll need to remove on your own before enjoying the temaki. Unfortunately, the server did not show us how to properly do it and it was honestly quite challenging. Our Temakis fell apart and we ended up eating them with chopsticks. Also, we found fish bones in the temakis and not small ones either... luckily we were chatting and eating slowly. The temakis did taste good but imo quite pricey but I guess that's Beverly Hills pricing. I'm a big fan of Sushi and Temakis in general but maybe we should've given the restaurant more time to figure out the ops before visiting.

Better food to be had at the Grove. It's a cute outdoor space, but that's about it. None of the rolls we got were that special, our cocktails weren't good, service was clunky, and they were playing really terrible cheesy EDM at a far too loud volume. Just miss after miss.

Gaya Made Our Night at Sora! The food and drinks at Sora are incredible, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the amazing service from Gaya. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and completely on point with her recommendations. Every dish she suggested was a hit--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we didn't know we were craving! She had such a great energy and made us feel like VIPs the whole time. Her knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and genuine care turned a great night into a perfect one. Gaya is a gem and a huge reason we'll be coming back to Sora again and again. If you go, definitely ask for Gaya--you'll be in the best hands!

Their hand rolls were packed with many flavors. I love how I can signal the chef with their little hand roll holder. Service was also amazing.

Unfortunately, they are not allergy friendly and will not make accommodations. It would be fine if they let you know that at the top, but waited for everyone to get drinks and order.

Ok this place was a little confusing to get to. Its actually a part of the restaurant below. The host will bring you up when your table is ready or if not busy. We got a selection of there specials and you need to eat them right away or the nori will get soggy. A little pricey but you pay for the ambiance

Cute rooftop spot in the Farmer's Market above another restaurant Savta (check in downstairs and the hostess will lead you up). Sat at the counter (although you can't really see much behind the counter to watch the chef work) and ordered a few handrolls to try - my personal favorites were the red snapper and the seared tuna. Cute presentation as each handroll is placed in a holder in front of you to enjoy for maximum freshness of the fish and seaweed. Service was average, it was clear that a few servers were new and still figuring out the system. Overall, a nice experience, not sure if I would come again given the $10+/roll cost for most of their Signature menu items.

This place is great for a rooftop experience. However I feel like in terms of quality it costs a lot for what it is. Just go to Kazunori instead if you are craving Handrolls.

Cute new rooftop sushi spot in the Farmers Market. A friend and I came here before a movie at The Grove -- we didn't have a reservation and the hostess was a bit off putting about it. Almost every table and the entire counter outside was empty, and no one came the entire time we were there, so I'm not sure why it was a problem for us to be walk-ins. Anyway, we did get seated. I got the watermelon iced tea, yellowtail scallion hand roll, and seared toro hand roll, and we shared the spicy tuna crispy rice. The food is good but definitely overpriced -- $6 for a can of iced tea, $11 each for tiny hand rolls. I'm glad I tried it but don't think I need to return.

I would give this place. 4.25 stars. It's a lot more casual than I had expected. It's not necessarily a rooftop bar, but more like a patio. The hand rolls are delicious, particularly The toro truffle 5/5 and spicy bluefin 5/5. The spicy tuna crispy rice was also delicious 4/5. The truffle salmon 1/5 and Black cod 1/5 were pretty bad.

A great vibe, super nice staff and most importantly, fresh tasty handrolls! The mochi + in house whipped cream was really good as well. 10/10 will be back

Too expensive... After spending mor than $250 for dinner, I still have to pay for the parking fee of $8.50 Food and Sake were over priced.

Overall, this place has rolls with great flavor and quality ingredients. However, I don't think anything makes this place stand out from other handroll bars. As other reviews have mentioned, this place can be a bit hard to find if you're not familiar with the area. We had to ask a couple of different people before we found the right place. I tried three different rolls which I all enjoyed but for $10 a roll, I expected them to at least be the size of a regular handroll. My boyfriend and I shared an appetizer and 6 rolls and left still pretty hungry. As for the rooftop experience, it is more of a second-story view that overlooks the parking lot or the Whole Foods across the street. I wouldn't choose this location if you're looking for city views. I'm glad I tried this place out but I don't anticipate it being in my regular rotation of hanroll bars.

Extremely disappointing food. Go to Kazu nori for better food and better portions. My boyfriend and I paid $60 for 4 hand rolls that were 2 bites each. The only thing offered is the ambiance. Other than that, we feel robbed. I wouldn't have minded if the food was out of this world excellent but in all honesty bland, not very good quality and very small. This place won't last... good luck Sora... BEWARE

Gave this place a try and it was delicious! I started with a miso soup, only complaint is that it wasn't given to me hot it was lukewarm which I personally didn't prefer. I proceeded to try the yellowtail jalapeño temaki, the salmon truffle and the baked snow crab nori. They were amazing I loved the baked snow crab so much I got 2! But honestly each one, was tasty & the quality of the ingredients are top tier. I would only suggest to try this place out if you're not in a rush as it does take a lot of time to receive each order/handroll ...it overall took an hour of dining to get a soup and 4 handrolls spent a lot of time between each one kinda just waiting around & it wasn't particularly busy, so don't be in a rush here haha. Give this place a try though the servers are very nice and use InKind to get 20% back off your tab!

Okay... new favorite sushi spot!! Everything tasted sooo fresh and the interior and outdoor seating area is so beautiful. Major shoutout to Mary for her attentiveness, friendliness, and for making it such a fun experience! Shoutout to Santiago for being so friendly and giving great recommendations!! You can tell he cares about the success in this restaurant as the manager! Shoutout to the chef as well who also said goodbye to us since we were the last table left haha. He is sooo great. I can easily become a regular

This place is great! Service was great and Angel was the best server! Anyone in this area needs to come here. A+
