Sushi Go 55

Authentic Japanese Sushi place, it’s inside a mall but if feels cozy and casual. Absolutely fresh ingredients, kind and fast service, experienced chefs. You know the place is real when you’re the only person not from Japan here. Amazing Spicy Salmon and Rainbow roll. If you care about presentation, I guess you could go somewhere else, but taste wise this is the real deal.

Cozy friendly place. Only thing I regret is not taking more pictures. Delicious sushi and teriyaki chicken.. tempura was excellent. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Most sashimi are very fresh and taste very good. The sweet shrimp is a must order, a bit expensive when ordering more than usual but I just can't stop eating them cause it's the best I've tried all around LA so far! Have the head fried and in miso soup both amazing.

My wife and I have been dining here for years (mostly dinner) and we like the Unaju (pictured) and Chirashi Bowl. Always a pleasant experience with nice staff, delicious and good size food, casual and calm atmosphere, and fair prices. Parking is easy because we park at the Mall and get ticket validated. 1-2 blocks from the main Little Tokyo / Japanese Village Plaza. Easy walk.

Omg what a sweet little restaurant. My daughter and I came in for a quick bite and they were so patient and quick with our spicy salmon cut roll and miso soup. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for sushi before noon. Pricing is reasonable and atmosphere is calm. My toddler said she loved it there so that's always a win.

One of my favorite spots in LA for some really good fresh sushi. The chirashi bowl is so good, the sashimi lunch special was delicious as well. Highly recommend this place, great food, great service, great sushi chef.

We placed a Togo order for a delightful variety of dishes at this Japanese restaurant located in downtown LA. It happens to be one of my brother's favorite places, and he was determined to welcome me with a special dinner from here, despite the crazy Friday traffic in the area. Arriving a little early, we patiently waited for them to open at exactly 5:00 pm. Since our order was quite substantial, they kindly brought the food to our car in the parking structure. My generous brother left a big tip for both the waitress and the person who delivered the food. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I opted for the chirashi, which was a generous portion of fresh sashimi, rice, and a variety of veggies. It paired perfectly with my niece's favorite beer, Allagash Curieux, which I found to be excellent. Later, we also indulged in some sake. The gathering was filled with heartwarming conversations and scrumptious food, making it a truly cherished moment for all of us. Such experiences remind us of the joy of family gatherings and the simple pleasures of life.

We arrived after the lunch rush and was treated to the front-row seat right by the chefs. We had been looking forward to this meal after finding Sushi Go 55 from our research. We loved how fresh the sushi and sashimi’s were, and the servers were warm and attentive. We did have a little difficulty finding the restaurant at first. There was a lack of obvious signage outside, but the food more than made up for it. Definitely going back next time we’re in LA.

Took a friend for an impromptu omakase lunch at the sushi bar. Pretty much a tasting menu of their today’s special/fresh catches. Super fatty toro, and tried some that are usually rarely appeared on the menu. Love it! Very good quality & freshness. Their marinated mushroom was soo naturally sweet (no sugar added). $140 per person (this price might change based on type of fishes available. It’s comparable to those more famous omakase joint. Just that you are not paying extra for the decoration. This is a cozy family run old school goodness. Oh and their house made wasabi/scalllion sauce is so good I wish I could buy some to take home!

A top 3 LA sushi restaurant, probably one of the closest to authentic Japanese sushi. Definitley some of the best little Tokyo has to offer. The sushi plate was fresh and with subtle flavors in the fish.

Great lunch spot. Their chirashi hits the spot—good portions, good cuts, and comes with miso soup and little side dishes. There was no line when I came at 1pm on a Wednesday. Parking validation provided. It’s inside on the 3rd floor and either they don’t have a sign or the neon doesn’t work, so it’s easy to miss.

My family and I are so happy to be back for the first time since the pandemic started. Happy to report that the sushi is just as good as it has ever been. Can't wait to be back when the bar opens up for some omakase action.

Chloe Cho

Low key spot that offers delicious sushi at a reasonable price. Service was good despite there only being one server and a constant stream of customers. Upon hearing it was my birthday, they brought us sake shots on the house - so sweet!

This is one of my favorite spots for sushi! Everyone is so friendly! The food is amazing and it’s become a weekend tradition. It feels like a hidden treasure! Me and my boyfriend go every Friday, it’s our favorite way to end the week!

Love this sushi- it’s a favorite place to sit at the sushi bar and have delicious fish. The service is professional- and good. The high quality products they serve and the men making the sushi are awesome! A must go.

2 hours from start to finish including wait-list. Sorry to say but it wasn't worth the wait. Was only 4th on the list but the limited 7 tables made the wait over 30 min. Coming from a real Japanese visitor, it didn't meet expectations especially from the higher prices being charged. Received the wrong nigiri order at first. Only 1 server who can speak Japanese couldn't provide all the tables with the proper attention that was required. Decent level of authentic sushi in US.

When I lived in downtown, this place was always my favorite sushi restaurant. Chirashi bowl and unagi bowl were the best. After I moved away from downtown three years ago, I always missed here. Last week I got a change to stop by. The food is as authentic and good as before, but the portion of unagi is smaller. The chef is very friendly as usual. This place is located in a mall on third street, and the parking can be validated by the restaurant.

A very traditional Japanese restaurant inside the mall at the top floor. They are known for their Chirashi Bento Boxes and that is what we went with. We ended up getting the Chirashi Take and Chirashi Matsu. The Matsu has some additional seafood including scallops, sea urchin and roe. It was really fresh and presented nicely! The service was good and attentive as well. Glad we tried out this simple and humble spot!

Upon arrival theres a pungent cleaning solution smell at the establishment which makes the entire experience unpleasant to begin with. Server was nice and took our orders right away, but it took 35 minutes for the meals to come out. The table next to us was also disgruntled. The salmon color looks more vibrant than im used to. The chirashi dinner portion was also small compared to the ones i usually go. Overall not into it. Took way too long for food and quality is lower than average. Will not come back.

The worst sushi place ever..the Taisho has some kind of a weird policy where you can’t order certain foods on the counter. First red flag. I wanted to get the Matsu Nigiri combo so I went ahead and switched to a table. The sushi came out and the nigiri sushi was literary made miniature. I lived in Japan for 20 years and LA for 10 years and never seen anything like this lol I couldn’t believe it at first but see the pictures for your reference. The rice amount is literary the size of your nails. Do yourself a favor and never come here for sushi. You’re gonna get robbed.
