Summer Fish & Rice

Nona and Anthony were incredible and unfortunately I ate all the details and my apologies so there are no pictures 😂😩! I have driven by this place for so long and finally had the pleasure of dining here! When I say excellent I mean just that!! The food was phenomenal but it would definitely recommend The Summer Sashimi specials “The Sampler” is phenomenal in addition to the O-Toro. I like a dry chilled Sake so I recommend this one in the photo. I also like a little more jalapeño on my Yellowtail Jalapeño and they accommodated on the side perfectly. I can say I’m super picky and this really did not disappoint! Hope you try it!!

Great neighborhood place for sushi. Their food is amazing. They also have a happy hour from 5-7pm with special prices for drinks and food.

Amazing sushi!!!! The ingredients are fresh and I can taste how much effort they put in their dish. Comparing to all the overpriced sushi nearby, this place earned its price. The staff member are super friendly too. I would love to come here every day if I could. My favorite dishes are the summer sushi, the salmon skin salad, the mushroom/chicken karaage, she’s from Miami roll, and my favorite dessert of all time, the green tea tempura. They taste so amazing and this place definitely deserves a visit!

A lovely sushi spot, and our new favorite spot for sushi in LA. The sushi was so fresh and flavorful, salmon was buttery and delicious, every dish was perfectly seasoned and balanced. We loved every single thing we ordered. The best crispy rice I’ve ever had, we ordered more at the end of our meal because it was so tasty. Also the place itself is a serene and minimalist space, with a warm, inviting ambiance that balances simplicity with elegance. My party ordered chicken karaage, shishito peppers, crispy rice, plenty of fish roll, tuna mango avocado roll, 911 roll, Thursday night roll, and Philly roll, and the lemon salmon sashimi, and every single dish was amazing. I also have a shellfish allergy and they were great at accommodating that, can tell they take cleanliness and allergies seriously.

We love Summer Fish & Rice! We've been coming here for years and love the staff and the food. We love getting the omakase because it's always fresh and will leave you full! The chefs are so talented and know how to adjust based on taste and preference. This is always the best date spot or for spoiling friends who love sushi! 10/10 would recommend!

Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, Summer Fish & Rice is a hidden gem that brings a slice of Japan to Los Angeles. With its fresh, high-quality seafood, a welcoming ambiance, and an excellent selection of beers and sake, this restaurant stands out as a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts and anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience. Sashimi and Nigiri The quality of the sashimi and nigiri at Summer Fish & Rice is truly remarkable. Each piece is meticulously prepared, highlighting the freshness and natural flavors of the fish. The Bluefin tuna was buttery and rich, practically melting in your mouth, while the Yellowtail offered a delicate, slightly sweet taste that was perfectly balanced. The squid had a clean, subtle flavor with a nice bite, and the Halibut was soft with a refined texture. The Japanese mackerel, known for its rich and oily profile, was a standout with its depth of flavor, leaving a lasting impression. The care and attention to detail in every slice speak volumes about the quality and passion of the chefs here. Rolls: Crab, Eel, Maki, and Shishito Peppers Equally impressive were the rolls, particularly the crab, eel, traditional maki, and the delightful addition of shishito peppers. Each roll was thoughtfully crafted, combining fresh ingredients with perfectly seasoned rice. The crab roll was a wonderful blend of sweet, delicate crab meat and crisp vegetables, while the eel roll brought a delightful smokiness and a touch of sweetness that was simply irresistible. The maki rolls were equally well-executed, showcasing a harmonious balance of textures and flavors that is often hard to find. The shishito peppers added a unique, slightly smoky flavor with a hint of heat that provided a nice contrast to the cool, fresh seafood, making for a memorable bite. These rolls are perfect for those looking to explore different tastes and combinations without compromising on quality. Beverage Selection One of the highlights of Summer Fish & Rice is its impressive beer and sake menu. With a variety of options to choose from, there is something for every palate, whether you’re a sake connoisseur or simply looking to complement your meal with a crisp, refreshing beer. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to provide recommendations, ensuring that each pairing enhances the flavors of the dishes. It’s an excellent way to elevate the dining experience and enjoy a true taste of Japanese culture. Atmosphere and Service The atmosphere at Summer Fish & Rice is bright, lively, and reminiscent of a classic sushi bar in Japan (remember me a bar in Tokyo). There is a warm and inviting energy throughout the restaurant, making it a great spot for both regular patrons and first-time visitors. I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar, where you can engage with the chef, watch them expertly prepare each dish, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of sushi-making. The service is attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience with a genuine sense of hospitality. Having visited several times, I can say that the consistency in both food and service is truly commendable. Summer Fish & Rice captures the essence of a Japan sushi bar experience right in Beverly Hills. From the top-notch sashimi and nigiri to the thoughtfully crafted rolls, including the unique touch of shishito peppers, and excellent beverage options, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this is a spot that deserves a place on your list. With a vibrant atmosphere, great food, and the opportunity to engage with skilled chefs at the sushi bar, Summer Fish & Rice offers a dining experience that is both memorable and authentic. Highly recommended!

Went for dinner and had a lovely experience. Ordered one of the dinner specials that featured 4 nigiris and a hand roll. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Service was amazing and everyone who works there is so kind. Can’t wait to go back!

The best and most underrated sushi place in all of L.A. Get omakase, or allow the chefs to choose at least one or two pieces for you. The way they combine citrus and truffle with the fresh fish is divine!

We went there for a friend birthday. Their service were surprisingly good. The sushi chefs, Beer& Woody & bank, were so friendly and funny. I brought macaroon as a birthday cake and they decorated the plate sooooo pretty. Thank you for making our party memorable and delightful. We will definitely come back!

My partner and I always pass by Summer Fish and Rice whenever we go on our walks. We decided to try it out on Aug. 3, 2023, and it turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. We visited during their lunch hours (11:30 am - 2:30 pm), and we were immediately sat at the sushi bar, in front of the chefs. I went for their lunch combo set, which was priced at $29 (available for dine-in customers only). I went with the Crispy rice and a chirashi bowl. My partner ordered a "Lunch Early Catch", a part of their lunch specials. He went with Origami Sashimi, since he has a gluten intolerance. As soon as he got his dish, he noticed that there was some sauce on it. Before we could ask what it was, the sushi chef asked if everything was okay. My partner asked what the sauce was, and he was avoiding gluten due to his intolerance. The chef, without a question, graciously took back the plate. They immediately remade his dish to accommodate his dietary needs. What impressed us the most, apart from the delicious and fresh food, was the level of service we received. The staff was attentive, friendly, and the sushi chefs were VERY understanding. It's not every day that you come across such exceptional service, and it left a lasting impression on us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at "Summer Fish and Rice" and will undoubtedly be returning for more delightful meals. Highly recommended!

This place was incredible. Honestly, why go to Sugarfish when you can come here? In my opinion, it’s much better. The food was delicious, and the salmon was perfectly buttery and melt-in-your-mouth. It was my first visit, and I was very impressed. The space is small and charming, and I’ll definitely be returning. 🍣

Our sushi and sashimi dishes, and even items from the kitchen were delicious. Been going here for a few years and never had a bad experience. I find it comical and embarrassing that people would put one star and admit that they didn’t tip. Of course, those are the reviewers that put five stars for people that let them bring their dogs into restaurants and go to restaurants that are above their means and don’t tip.

Love Nona and Antony :) Nona helped find the right table for our temperature preferences. I ordered Pork Chashu for the appetizer which I’ll always recommend. Crispy wafer like chip with a Pork moment on top. A satisfying savory start. The lemon and salmon sashimi which slayed. The perfect lemon slice size. Tuna Tataki. Have to order some version of this at every sushi place. Mango and Nutella cheesecake. The mango was very subtle and the perfect dessert for our healthy girls on health vibes for dessert. The Nutella was Antony’s favorite due to the amount of chocolate :) It was great and very American. 🥰💝 Will always recommend!

First off, love the name of the restaurant. Lol! Now for what’s important… the food. Amazing & lengthy array of options but still simple to get through. I had the baked crab hand roll it was O’gasmic. Plus the popcorn shrimp...fairly crunchy if you like it that way. The pork chasu which had a crispy layer on the bottom filled with a lot of pork on top, very yummy if pork is your thing. Then the dessert! … my FAV! the mango cheesecake was super fire, it’s very subtle hints of mango btw! & the Nutella cheesecake which packs a huge chocolate punch. It more so gives brownie cheesecake in flavour & appearance. YUM! then some hot sake to wash it all down. My fav part however I must say was Nona & Antony’s sweet & welcoming service. It’s always so special to be in a place where ppl seem happy to be where they are & to serve you. Plus the ambience is my kind of dinner spot, low lighting but can still see. 10/10!

It’s fresh, great food and high prices for decent portions. Location. Menu is normal and standard like elsewhere, so nothing special.

First off; the waitress took a very long time to come take our order. She would not refill our waters upon request, she did not bring the ginger or anything when we requested. While we were paying, because of the horrible service we did not tip and when she saw this she told us not to come back unless we’re gonna tip.

The food of the restaurant is very bad. The old grandma lady chase me and try to break my car door. She is very rude and lack of education. I think I don’t like the food and she did not give me good service, there is no point to give tips. But she event try to break my car and bag for tips like she is homeless. And she even say: don’t come to our store.” I think as a restaurant owner, it’s not professional.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PLACE DO NOT GO HERE TERRIBLE SERVICE. THEY SAID NOT TO COME BACK UNLESS WE TIP. IT TOOK A REALLY LONG TIME TO EVEN TAKE OUR ORDER LET ALONE MY PARTYS FOOD ARRIVING. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO COME HERE!. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!!!!!

They are very rude to us. Their food is very bad, and the old grandma lady just chasing us in the car and say: please don’t come back.” And the reason is I did not give much tips. But truth is she did not even serve me or nice to me. They are very rude, and the old grandma is very rude and lack of education, and she even tries to break my car to beg for tips.
