Fat Fish serves up fresh seafood, applying French culinary techniques to Japanese cooking in a hip, West Hollywood atmosphere. Our chefs give an Eastern tinge to traditionaly Western cuisine, adding soy and ginger to steak and potatoes, and select fine wines, sakes and champagnes to accompany your meal.
The ambience is nice here -- we ordered the sushi combination dinner, which came with large slices of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp and albacore(?), as well as a specialty roll (which was huge). It's all fresh and tasty, which is what really matters. My buddy proposed to his future wife here, and that night, they said it was the second proposal that night! In any case, it was a great setting for just such an occasion. They have a full bar attached as well.

I'd heard about Fat Fish for over a year but never got the chance to go there until a couple weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very comfortable interior, friendly and fast wait staff, and the BEST sushi I have had in LA. Ever. The best part? It was not outrageously overpriced, like some other top sushi restaurants. The three of us together had 3 cocktails, 3 signature sushi rolls and 1 main entree for $80. I can't wait to go back during their happy hour.
Pros: ambience, staff, quality
Cons: parking

This place is excellent. I had a great time. The inside is very inviting , the pictures don't do it justice. The happy hour specials will not empty your pockets. Our bartender Josh was accomodating and the service was fast, a rare combination in LA. He greeted us with a smile and made us feel very comfortable. The Fat Fish, Ichi Roll and Seattle Roll here are AWESOME! I highly recommend you try the Shanghi Sunrise it's smooth cocktail and one of their signature drinks. This was my first time eating at Fat Fish but it will not be my last...I'll be back.
Pros: Happy Hour, Great parking, Prices

I just went here because I thought it sounded good. BOY was I let DOWN! The decor was nice but seating is minimal/cramped, not as cramped as Crazy Fish. The service was decent, but slow. They were also out of the only dessert that sounded interesting!!! I went to happy hour because it sounded like a good deal. It was only decent. Let me warn you, many items are actually COOKED fish, which I found extremely disappointing because I go to a Japanese restaurant to eat RAW fish. Don't get the Firecracker roll!!! It is incredibly spicy, not even a good spicy. It overpowers the flavor, making everything else afterwards taste worse than it already did. I suggest you go maybe for the bar not for the food. Try it out for yourself. Don't have high hopes like us and be deceived by how nice it might look.

Fat Fish has a great happy hour - even on weekends. I've been on two occasions with friends and we drank and ate to our hearts' content for about $20 a person. I also had dinner here (a bit more pricey) but still good. The sushi rolls are pretty good - the eel and avocado is my favorite. Don't be shy about asking for the cheaper sake - $7 for a large bottle as opposed to the $20+ ones listed on the drink menu. The server we had the last time though was a bit confused about when gratuity is added onto the bill - she thought that we had failed to leave any tip at all - so be sure to check the bill.
