The 12 Best dineLA Dinner Deals | Eater LA

"Los Angeles Times critic Patricia Escarcega reviewed Encino’s Sushi Bar in May, which she described as “17 courses with a side of showmanship.” This menu usually runs for $125, but for dineLA it is only $99. Seating is very limited, as are the hours, so plan accordingly." - Mona Holmes

Had dinner at Aria Sushi tonight and it was so good. Excellent service from start to finish and the rolls were on point. We had the Marilyn Mon Roll, Chef’s Albacore Roll, Tiger Crunch Roll, spicy garlic edamame, spicy Yellowtail hand roll, and the Negima Yakitori. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. We will definitely be back, especially with happy hour starting next month. Parking in the back makes it super convenient. 🍣

This is my FAVORITE sushi place!! The Albacore Sashimi with Crispy Onion and the Spicy Tuna crispy rice are my go to! The service is amazing and so friendly! The fish is so fresh and the food is so delicious! They have seating inside and outside and there is easy parking!

The food was exquisite; the Big Oaks roll left me impressed. James, the owner, was very kind and attentive to us and all the customers. I will definitely come back. It has become a neighborhood favorite🫶🏽

Solid aesthetics to the restaurant with a good amount of seating both inside and out. The sashimi was fresh and had a great taste to it. The chicken with the chicken teriyaki dinner combo was crispy and pretty solid too. Next time I’d get the larger sashimi plate if I came with company.

Very clean and music has been a throwback. The Chicken Katsu Ramen is delicious. my friend loves the sashimi. overall sold sushi spot.

Sushi Aria is a neighborhood staple. Looks great from the outside with welcoming flowers and cute patio perfect for happy hour drinks with friends or coworkers!🍻The special sashimi sampler plate was perfect for lunch for four(red snapper is melt in your mouth 🤤🐟)and we also got the 911 and Ken Special rolls which were👌👌👌especially if you like spicy food! Really nice owner, he gave us some sake on the house😉😂🥂! It was a great time. Will be back as soon as possible for the great vibe and delicious food🍣🧡🩷

Went to this cute restaurant for lunch today and was very impressed. The atmosphere was nice and the food was absolutely delicious. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth and the rolls were packed with flavor. The patio was lovely with nice furnishing and flowers. Would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys good sushi!

Was pleasantly surprised found this by accident walking down Ventura blvd. Looks like casual dining, but the food tastes like full sushi restaurant. Decent price is very good Bento box. Clean atmosphere good service.

Stopped by Aria Sushi & Dining for a quick afternoon bite and were really impressed. We ordered the albacore crunch roll and the B.S.R. roll, both were super fresh and really flavorful. They do close between 3:00-5:30, which can be a little inconvenient, but we arrived around 2:30 and they still served us without any issue, which we appreciated. Great spot folks for a quick sushi stop in Sherman Oaks.

Maria L.

Yelp

Perfect Lunch Find! They have great lunch specials on their bowls & bento boxes. The fish was very fresh & yummy. Rice was perfectly seasoned. Salad was well dressed & the dressing was not overpowering like other places. The spicy tuna was sooo delicious! Probably my favorite spicy tuna to date. Will definitely be back :-)

Ray M.

Yelp

Good sushi but not great. My 911 roll with spicy tuna, avocado, and spicy mayo, topped with crispy onion, was tasty. Anything with avocado is a hit with me. The Res Hot Rod roll with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and red peppers and jalapeños was excellent!! Each ingredient was fresh and very tasty. The veggie tempura was DELICIOUS and fried to perfection. Service was top-notch, as our waitress checked on us numerous times to make sure we were doing okay. The restaurant itself is very clean, organized, and inviting. This was a positive dining experience.

Was picking up food for someone so decided to grab a bite for myself . Ended up getting tuna . If you know me you know I LOVE SUSHI ! The spicy tuna cut roll to go is sooooo good . Has a kick and the cucumber add is refreshing!!! Definitely ten outta ten would recommend! Yummy

It's rare for me to give a 5 starrating for sushi but Aria definitely deserves it! My friend and I were crazing sushi so we decided to try Aria for lunch. It wasn't busy so we were seated promptly. Timothy took our order and was a delight. At one point he mistakenly brought us a roll last we didn't order and once we told him, he quickly replied, "Don't worry. It's in the house." :) All the sushi was very fresh and absolutely delicious! I'm so happy that I have found a spot to add to my favorite of sushi restaurants. Also shout out to Chef Steve who prepared all the deliciousness!

Mitch P.

We really like sushi and live in this neighborhood and had never heard of this restaurant on Ventura Blvd so thought we'd give it a shot. Parking lot behind the store so didn't have to try to find a meter on Ventura as there were none open ones near the restaurant. We had an early dinner and it wasn't crowded which was nice, and one nice thing is that unlike many other sushi restaurants in the area they have multiple tv sets so my male friend and I got to watch football and basketball while our wives talked more The menu is large with lots of fun names such as Marilyn Mon Roll, which we ordered and was good. Prices were fair compared to other restaurants in the neighborhood and Jay (a lady) an excellent server. Needless to say we not only recommend it but will have our next local sushi dinner here.

Andrea H.

Everything was so delicious! The chefs albacore roll and negima skewers were my favorite. I can't wait to try the hand rolls when I come back. Service was great too!

Crysta M.

For starters , Our Server, Timothy, was gracious and efficient. Our food was delivered to our table so quickly and politely. Everything was so FRESH , and wow!... So delicious. I will definitely come back here for another Aria experience. Don't forget to order the yellow sushi.,, Casual and Comfortable.

Jeff Knight P.

We went during lunch time and the ambience in the restaurant was great! We felt relaxed and the server was very nice and attentive. We ordered the 2 item bento box, galaxy roll, and exotic spider roll. Everything was delicious and they are generous with the serving! We recommend this place if you're craving Japanese food! Another plus, they gave our son a kids meal on the house! Very sweet. We enjoyed having lunch here

Shell C.

I noticed Aria as it was next door to a place I had an appointment. I love sushi so I wanted to try it. One of their popular dishes was the KJ Special so I ordered that & the albacore 2 piece sushi. It was so delicious that I see it being my go-to order, but excited to try their other items. I forgot to take a pic of the KJ Special cuz I downed it so fast. Free parking in the back & the staff was super sweet & attentive. TVs around the space, clean & tables are spaced out perfectly. I will definitely become a regular!!

Dianely A.

I've already given this place 5 stars, but they're getting it again. Excellent people, great service, The Chashu Ramen Tonkatsu was So. Friggin. Good! Perfect for the cloudy weather for the next few days! I was surprised to see so many people out and having an early evening meal on a Tuesday, but I'm also glad because this place is awesome! Thank you again!

Bluejazz L.

Sushi Aria truly exceeded my expectations. Hands down one of the best sushi spots in California. I ordered a mix of rolls and sushi, and everything was super fresh, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality of the fish--clean, flavorful, and top-tier. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. Another big plus is the parking lot, which makes coming here stress-free compared to many other sushi places in LA. Great food, great service, and great location. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back!

Nice ambiance and excellent food for a birthday lunch! Service was great and menu was very creative and expansive.

Formerly Karma Sushi Bar, Aria is a recent addition to Ventura Blvd in the Sherman Oaks area. The carpaccio and crudo options are delish. I recommend the Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, Albacore Sashimi with Crispy Onion and Yellowtail Yuzu Sashimi. All great to share, and oh so fresh with delicious sauce and garnish. Service is efficient, the place is new and clean, and there's interior and exterior seating. As for the cons, their restroom sink was halfway flooded and they forgot one of our dishes. To their credit, they made efforts to make things right for us, which we truly appreciated. Parking is in the back (look for the Aria parking signs) or else you can find metered street parking out front.

Hovsep N.

This is the go to sushi spot. We're here a couple times a month and never had a bad experience, 10/10 Cajun Tuna Roll and the Yuzu Roll are a must.

We came again on another Friday night with our kids and it was much busier with most of the tables filled. Unfortunately this time we had a bad experience with the food. We got the yuzu roll and the rice was hard, the yellowtail was fishy, and the tempura shrimp was undercooked. The pickled ginger tasted funny as well. It was so bad we asked the waitress to stop bringing the other dishes so we could leave. The only upside is our kids enjoyed the miso udon - we had to dilute it since it was too salty for them though. They barely touched the California rolls this time.

Margaret A.

First time here and Brandon gave us such a warm welcome! He's super friendly and runs the place very professionally. The sushi is incredibly fresh thank you to Steve and Matthew for making everything so amazing. We tried the sashimi and it was amazing This place opened just a few months ago and caught my eye because of the name Aria which happens to be my son's name! I've been wanting to try it, and I'm so glad I finally did. Highly recommend this gem. Thank you to the entire Aria team!

I was in the area and decided to get lunch at Sushi Aria. Was pleased with the variety of options here! I had the jalapeño bombs, spicy scallop hand rolls, miso soup and a glass of plum wine. All SO DELICIOUS. The service was amazing and the waiter was very attentive. Great spot for lunch / dinner. I will be back to try more of their menu options!!!

LOVE Aria Sushi! Best sushi in town! The service is friendly, and not over bearing. A very cool place to hang out, eat good food and enjoy the game with all their TV's. And their restrooms are SPOTLESS!!

JessicaMaribel09 L.

Yelp

Food was great and everything tasted delicious. The customer service was also very good. I really enjoyed the tofu vegetable ramen, and the shrimp ramen was full of flavor as well. We also ordered a California roll and a spider roll with soy wrap--both were fresh and tasty. Plus, the place is dog-friendly, which is a big bonus. Definitely recommend!

Eddie A.

Yelp

Well, I'll never be back here again. Sushi chef has a fucking attitude. Came in and was asked if I had any questions to let him know and I told him I was thinking about a particular roll but ended up ordering another and he ended up serving me both. I was a bit confused at first, and then I'll let him know of the mistake but at that point I already know I'm getting charged for both. So maybe he misheard me or maybe they'll just want to take advantage of customer since they are so slow all the time but ill be sure to never come back. When I suggested maybe ask for confirmation next time so one I don't waste food and too I don't waste my money. And his response was sure sure sure. Hey buddy f u f u f u. Both the rolls were below average btw.

Kevin A.
