Authentic Japanese Sushi & Restaurant in Los Angeles
Since 1983, Noshi Sushi has been a cornerstone of authentic Japanese cuisine in Los Angeles. Founded by master sushi chef Shogo Noshi, our restaurant was among the first Japanese-owned establishments in Koreatown, quickly gaining recognition for its generous portions, fresh fish, and unwavering commitment to traditional flavors. Over 50 years of combined experience from our lead chefs ensures every dish reflects meticulous craftsmanship honed through decades of practice. Our signature items, including the California Roll with real crab meat and the acclaimed Spicy Tuna recipe, showcase our dedication to quality ingredients and time-tested techniques.While expanding from a 30-seat eatery to a 100-seat destination, weve preserved the welcoming atmosphere and rigorous standards that built our reputation. Today, chefs personally trained by Chef Noshi continue this legacy, balancing tradition with carefully curated seasonal specials and a sake selection chosen by our Certified Sake Sommelier. With over four decades of service, we remain committed to delivering honest, high-quality sushi in an unpretentious setting that honors our roots while embracing thoughtful evolution.
