Spitz in Little Tokyo is an absolute gem for Mediterranean street food with a modern, laid-back twist. The vibe is fun, artsy, and perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with friends. I ordered the Street Cart Doner Wrap and Sweet Potato Waffle Fries—both were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and their house sauces take everything to the next level. Bonus: great vegetarian options too! The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the local craft beer selection is a solid plus. If you’re craving something different and delicious in downtown LA, Spitz is a must-try.

This spot is my absolute favorite sushi spot near the Arts District/ DTLA. Always amazing service and great food. The staff is always so nice and attentive and the vibes are very chill. Must come during happy hour!

I lived in LA for a long time, but this time I came here upon a friend’s invitation. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and polite. Unfortunately, the only accident of the night was caused by me — I didn’t see the server and accidentally bumped into their hand. My sincere apologies.

I absolutely enjoyed my first dine in at Tenno Sushi. A very popular place and especially full on a Saturday afternoon. The food was superb. I had the miso soup, avacodo roll, agedashi tofu and green tea. If you are not a meat eater you have these options plus the California roll and Veggie roll. The menu has a wide range of other items to choose from as well. Our service was excellent and we received our food very quickly. They seem to have a good operational system. Now, I am very sensory when it comes to food so it is hard to put into words the emotional comfort and happiness I felt consuming my meal. Just imagine having your watermelon with lime and sea salt for breakfast and then intermittent fasting for the day until about 4:20pm. Oh, my gawd today. That miso was so soul warming and the agedashi so mildly savory sweet. The green tea with a lemon wedge was very smooth and warm going down. I tell you, I have had a lot of Japanese cuisine and Tenno Sushi is serving the most top quality food at economically traditional prices for Little Tokyo. I cannot recall the last time I paid 2.50 for miso soup say, um, 15 years ago? Oh, I will definitely be back for lunch hours.

I really enjoyed this sushi restaurant! The portions were much bigger than I expected — really huge. I was completely full and couldn’t even finish everything. Everything was very tasty and fresh, the rolls were made with care. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and generosity, this place has become one of my favorites. I will definitely come back again and recommend it to my friends!

Tenno Sushi is a gem amongst many other gems here in Little Tokyo. I don't think there is a shortage of options for Japanese food in Little Tokyo, but it is precisely that intense and fierce market that keeps all of the restaurants competitive. I went with the beef yakisoba and my friend had the Vegas Roll. I also ordered some takoyaki to share. All 3 of the items were delicious, we left full, satisfied and happy with our choice. Service was fast and attentive too.

Everything about the meal was lovely. Miso soup was fire! The sushi rolls were amazing and filling. Our server, Aidan, was great as well! 11/10

I just moved to the area and was looking for a sushi spot and found this spot! They have very decent prices for lunch. Alot of selection even for even non-sushi eaters. And the service was actually really good. Our server Aiden was very kind and helpful when placing my order. The food came out quick and fresh to be honest. Aiden recommended a couple of enhancements for the dishes, his choices and taste did not miss. Thank you for the experience most definitely have a new favorite spot.

Decided to try this place because of the high and many ratings it received. We're so glad we decided to do so! We got sat immediately even though place seems packed. We ordered monkey bowl, umi sashimi combo, and captain america roll. Everything were made perfectly. Monkey bowl were huge in size, I had to bite it in half. Captain america roll was also generous in portion and roll size was humongous! The umi sashimi though... It tasted so fresh, it's as if they literally just caught the fish, sliced it up and immediately plate it beautifully and got it to our table. These were truly amazing dishes! They were on the pricier side but it was worth it. I ended up not having any space left for any dessert! Service was friendly, although at one point it was difficult to get their attention to refill our hot green tea. They didn't rush us at all, unlike many other places (taking order, giving you the food, ask how's everything, once they saw you're on the last bite, here is your bill.) All in all, wonderful experience! Highly recommend this place for the sushi. Will come back to try their other dishes!

Best sushi happy hour in Little Tokyo. They have a great deal with ordering one large beer at regular price ($9.50) and getting a large sake for 1 cent! If you’re not a sake drinker, you can simply order the HH large kirin / asahi / Sapporo bottl for $6.50. HH hand rolls also fare for $6.95, cementing their happy hour value for sushi. Rolls were ok but kinda pricey - aka rainbow for $13.95. Happy hour goes from 4-7pm Tues-Fri, all day Monday, and Saturday from open-4pm. Will definitely come back!

I was waitlisted a block away at another sushi restaurant, with a 90-minute wait ahead of me. I was getting “hangry” and could not wait any longer. I walked over, and Tenno seated me right away. The sushi is simply fantastic and is a solid value. Very friendly and attentive service. I got the 12-piece chef’s choice sushi. I was at the sushi bar and even had a nice conversation with the sushi chef who prepared my meal. Strong recommendation.

The sushi is amazing. Love their menu. Enjoy going on their happy hour, but if I can't make it on time, I still enjoy my time there. I've invited nitpicky people here to try the fresh mussels, and they even liked their salsa that supposedly they hated. They still rave about it to this day. Staff is always wonderful.

Wonderful. Slight misunderstanding with Saki size but it was handled well and satisfactory. Food was soooo delicious and filling. Hella dark from the tinted windows but inside as you can see it's a great mood and service. Regulars were behind us and spoke highly so we felt even more comfortable

Me and my hubby ordered too many like more than 5 dishes. Everything was surprisingly tasty and has a good balance each of them. Fresh, perfect taste(not too sweet), generous portion, and friendly even though they were busy! Worthy to eat out!

Love the place, although it is very much a made up version of Mediterranean food. Everything is tasty except the pita chips. I think they are way too oily. The wraps are always on point but they have something that annoys me at every branch and every truck. The paper wrapper. PLEASE stop sticking it inside the actual wrap. I’ve taken a bite of it once and have to take it out of my food almost every time. The bowls are also great. Love the drinks and the 22oz beer BUT the sangria is like it doesn’t have any alcohol in it. Straight up juice to keep u getting more. I don’t like that. It sounds like a bunch of negative things but I’ll keep it 4 stars I like this place overall.

Went there on a Saturday night, after theater. We love the atmosphere and the contemporary style of the place. It's the perfect place for a drink or for some good food at a reasonable price. All the items on the menu can be made with the vegetarian or vegan option, with the choice of sandwiches or wraps, plus salads and their unique fries The staff is friendly and there is a good selection of craft beers.

Came here on a Saturday night. The vibes was like a bar. We ordered the Mediterranean fries (which are amazing). Servers and employees were nice. Would come again during the day.

Overall: 4.2/5 (Postmates delivery) The food delivered earlier than expected. I liked the food but had better. However, I was able to get a huge chunk of my daily vegetable intakes from it so I'm happy. Doner Basket ($16.75): The portion is huge so we had leftovers enough for another meal. Their fried pita stick was hard so I wasn't a fan. You can customize your fries so we got mixed sweet potato and regular fries. The sweet potato fries are the waffle version and were clearly better than the regular fries where were starchy. We got beef, lamb, and chicken for our protein. Beef and lamb gyros were thinly sliced while the chicken was cut into cubes. The lamb didn't have a smell or gamey taste while the chicken was dry. I also didn't really like their falafel mix. The rest of the toppings went well with the salad. Street Cart Diner Wrap ($14.75): This was a big wrap that they cut in 2 for you; I ate one of the halves and was full. For my protein, I got beef, lamb, and chicken and felt that this wrap had more meat than veggies while the reverse is true for the Doner Basket. Nothing really stood to me about the wrap; everything blended in to create a homogenous wrap. I think there was a lot more flavors in the Doner Basket. Single Doquito ($7.50): This actually comes with 2 rolls and was the best item out of everything we ate. This is way better and like an elevated version of the Mexican taquito. A Doquito is a fried lavish bread rolled in feta, onion, and aioli. The flavors were on point and it was fried to perfection. It didn't get soggy even with all the additional toppings smothered on top.

The Berliner was my favorite. Didn’t like the Doner basket as much as the Berliner but it was still filling for the price. The Doner basket has everything in it and I thought it’d be more my speed but was just ok. Gives me lunch vibes or something quick vibes. Bartender was delightful, food came out fast and feels healthy. The beef-lamb meat is flavorful. Didn’t like the falafel. Strong and unique drinks. I’d recommend this place for a quick bite. $15 Flat rate parking garage near by. They should validate parking

Our search for Mediterranean food got us to Spitz in Little Tokyo. Surprisingly, I have crossed this place a couple of times and never tried it. The interiors are quite colorful, with almost a bar like feel. We were greeted by the staff who handed us a menu. You've have to order at the counter and the food arrives at your table. Since it was a Tuesday evening, they had happy hours for appetizers and drinks. It's was also game night and I must say, they had some great collection of games! We ordered Berliner fries, Street cart doner and Spicy Doner (both with chicken). The fries were delicious and crispy. It would definitely be a bang for your buck during happy hour. (I will come to that part in the end). Both Doners were huge! They seemed a bit dry but if you pair them with the sauces they have, it's pretty tasty. Okay tiny sad bit, when we checked our bill, the fries were not discounted (it was in the happy hour menu). Hence the -1 on the rating. Great meal otherwise! Would definitely come back here.

The bar server was amazing. Awesome attitude very accommodating. Only deducted stars because of the food, was a bit expensive for a little bit and the medi bowl meat was a bit dry.

Staff are friendly, clean restaurant, people just kept on coming through the door, food was yummy. I would return!

The Good The bento box was filling. The King sushi was good and huge! Very feeling. The OK Their chicken bowl was OK. I didn't care for how they made the cabbage. The service was OK as well. It was very in and out. The Bad tempura veggies were not good.

Cool sushi place in Little Tokyo, not much waiting. With so many sushi restaurants nearby it's hard to compare the sushi taste. We went in at noon and got the Hawaiian Poke Salad. It's excellent and very filling. It's a little pricey at about $19 but 2 people can share it. There are lunch deals too but we didn't try them. Overall, it's a good restaurant, cannot say it's better or worse than nearby but at least it's not as crowded.

Food and drinks are solid quality and really good. The vibe is chilling and cozy at the same time. The only thing I would complain about is the service. The bartender girl with the white shirt and glasses was having an attitude the whole time and looked bothered when we started ordering. Also it’s like self-service which I don’t mind but I feel like they don’t really care the customers because of the way they treated us. I like the salad, so I would go to another branch but would never come back here again.

*Do not order from this location on delivery apps!* I used to love going to the Los Feliz location, so I thought I would order dinner for my household. It cost $100 for 3 entrees and 4 sides, even after a $20 coupon. When the order arrived, we only received 2 entrees and 2 (incorrect) sides. The only sides that we received were the fries in our combos, which were supposed to be the street cart upgrades, but neither came with the upgrade. In addition, the fries were extremely cold and stale, despite only being ordered 15 minutes prior. The only correct items in the order were the 2 wraps. Only half of my family were able to eat from Spitz. I received $35 as a refund, and to reorder the same exact items it was going to cost $50 before taxes, fees, and tips. I am so disappointed with the quality control at this location and unfortunately will not be returning to Spitz, despite the fact that I used to love going there. Don’t waste your time and money ordering from here. It will just result in a massive headache, lost money, and stale fries.

The guy at the front desk asked how may I help you when I walked in at 11:12 then when I started to order he told me I couldn’t place an order and laughed as I left. I’ve been to this place about 10 times probably spent about $800 and I won’t ever come back. There’s plenty of other sushi places. Denying service in this economy is not good business bye Tenno.
