The chefs each have 25 years' experience, and the savvy crowd knows it. Homemade soy, ponzu and eel sauces belie the care devoted to the daily fresh fish from Japan. Beyond sushi, other specialties include grilled conch served in its shell, sliced lotus root with beef tempura, deep fried hama hama oysters, and fugu (blowfish skin) with ponzu.

Good Stuff 4 By lona c. \| Insider Guru \| Rank: 1,617 Sushi Go 55 This place has some really nice fresh sushi that's pretty affordable. The miso is so good that it's worth coming here for the soup alone. Lunch is pretty busy so go early. Posted 12/08/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote) Very good, but also expensive 5 By Devun T. Sushi Go 55 I went to Sushi Go 55 after hearing about it on NPR's Off Ramp. I recommend sitting at the bar and letting the sushi chef prepare what he wants for you, omakase style. The fish was fresh, the sushi very flavorful, but definitely not for the faint of heart! If you're bold, try the live sweet shrimp sushi. As its name implies, the shrimp are killed right in front of you and go from aquarium to your plate in less than 30 seconds. It's meant to be eaten raw, still squirming! Enjoy! Posted 10/19/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The food was excellent (I was surprised by how good it was actually) but the service was very below average. The servers took a long time to let me order even when I waved them over. The location is annoying to get to but wouldn't hurt this place if their service was any better. The food would be the only reason for me to come here again. Go if you want good food and dont mind bad service. Posted 07/15/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The location is not good, but oh my! They have one of the BEST sushi in town! The sashimi is good, and fresh, and they also have some cooked la carte... with the very very reasonable price! I am very picky about my sushi, and have been going to many other "top 10 sushi" in LA. However, this place is always ranked #1 when it comes with quality and price. DEFINATELY check it out if you like sushi! P.S. They validate the parking, too. PROS: freshness, quality, service CONS: location Posted 02/10/06 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

By mollypsca This was really good sushi from a lover of CA rolls, Unagi and Miso Soup. I am not the most adventurous, but I know what I like ... and that is, clean - affordable - quality sushi. This place fits the bill. In fact, I found it through citysearch and saw all of the fantastic reviews and thought, why not? So, I did and here I am adding to them. There are a couple of bad reviews, ignore them. This place is solid! There is also some REALLY cool shopping in the mall, so plan some extra time and have a look around. Pros: Clean, Nice, Good Cons: None Posted 06/27/09 Super Fresh Fish! Better than Japan! By osakagirl Wow! Better than I've had in Japan and that's where the fish is coming from. How's that possible? Started with the King Crab Sunomono appetizer is fantastic it had the sea salt flavor from the sea. Their uni is so sweet and fresh. Love their live sweet shrimp. Most times I get the heads fried like popcorn shrimp. Their spanish mackerel is soooooo good with grated ginger and ponzu sauce. It's on par if not better with the best sushi bars on westside which I normally pay $100+ pp at 70-80% of the price. The owner, Tomoko dressed in blue is super friendly and is knowledgeable about food. Pros: Fish Selection, Super Fresh Fish, Authentic Cons: Didn't know about it earlier. Posted 03/26/09 THIS place is great By TrealTalk I came here ready to eat everything on the menu! And the food was great but i could have ate more, as fat as that sounds...I like this place just as much as i like Club Sushi Pros: great service Cons: portion size Posted 03/25/09 Love Love! By vivaciousdivah This is a really good sushi spot. Very family-oriented. Good for groups too...but if you want a nice young professional type of place...Club Sushi is the spot with wonderful prices. Posted 03/24/09 Super good sashimi! By tatumharris The sashimi is outa control! You're at the right place if you want great sushi and sashimi. But if you're looking for good sushi and a place to drink after you should check out Ike Sushi. Sushi Go 55 is da SPOT! Posted 03/24/09
