BAD Sushi Los Angeles Reviews
I really enjoyed my visit to B.A.D Sushi! Delicious food and great service—such friendly people! I ordered “Love at First Bite” along with a Gyoza appetizer—absolutely 10/10! The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. I’ve attached the menu (as of May 2025) so you can check out the prices yourself! Let me know if you want this rewritten in a more playful or social media-friendly style!
So delicious! Seriously awesome rolls. This is a great spot if you want rolls with all the sauces, deep fried options, etc. that’s my husband’s sushi style and he loved it!
The atmosphere is warm and very friendly. The choice of dishes on the menu is huge. Everything is very tasty and beautiful. The order was delivered very quickly. I've added this place to my list of favorite restaurants.
Cherry spice roll & spicy tuna crispy rice are my favorite! Great prices and very fast service.
Probably the best sushi place around. Always excellent quality and service. Also their beer is the cheapest around! $6 for a big bottle of Asahi, not even happy hour price. In comparison to the other sushi restaurants nearby, this place will give you more 'over the top' rolls with tons of sauce and toppings. Its great if you're into that american-style sushi.
MUST TRY! I Order the Love at first bite , B.A.D Roll and the BSCR. They were so delicious can't go wrong with these rolls. Service is amazing as well.
One of the best in west la. Nice sauce and the ambience is perfect for almost every night and every get together. Bad sushi and white tiger are my favs.
Every time we come here it is the absolute best. The environment is lovely and the sushi is incredible. The wasabi is the perfect level of spicy… and we keep ordering the Cute Devil and Love at First Bite rolls every time!!
It's good that they serve baked salmon in rolls.
This place is delicious!! Customer service was great and kitchen was suprisingly fast, like really incredibly fast. Recommended: Love at first bite roll 💛
good sushi, great price, and a nice interior place. i've gone back once and would go again.
Amazing sushi! Coming to this place for years. If you want to eat a GOOD SUSHI you will come here!
Ive been coming to this place for 10 years and its only gotten better, my favorite sushi spot in LA, I moved to hollywood, I come back to Santa Monica for this place!
This is our favorite casual spot for sushi! The fish is incredibly high quality and the menu has a ton of variety. It’s a neighborhood staple.

AMAZING place. You have to come. Will 100% be back next week!
Best sushi in LA hands down. There is no better spot for delicious, creative rolls that are totally worth the price. Staff is the most friendly in LA and we love going there for them alone. Keep up the great work because you do such an incredible job. Their rolls are so delicious. High quality fish. Delicious customer rolls. Can’t say enough nice things about this place!

We came by for an early dinner on Valentines Day on a whim. The place was starting to fill up but we were quickly seated with menus. From the many options we placed our orders and sat back with anticipation while nibbling on warm, salted Edamame. The five Rolls arrived quickly and we were soon silently occupied by the food. Each Roll was delicious, generous in size and well presented. I liked the White Tiger Roll with its creamy smoothness contrasted by crunchy flakes. My friends liked the Dragon Roll with its eel and the Softshell Crab Roll. The cozy space was simply decorated but functional. The kitchen was speedy and turned over food quickly. The servers were perfunctory but the bottomless green tea was appreciated. Overall, not a bad place at all.

Walls are dirty, maybe owner could think about renovating the restaurant? Sushi was look like different, but they are all the same on taste! I won’t came back here. Waiters are super nice

First timer. I wanted to love this place as it looks so cool inside. When trying a new place I stick with the basics. In the case of sushi that would be cucumber and tuna rolls. If they can't do those right then why bother? The cucumber was thick style and that is never good. Needed to be matchstick style or the taste is wrong (for me). The tuna was decent but not great. I broke my own rule and also tried the shrimp tempura roll. Less shripm and more avacado so that wasn't great either. Still, others are highly reviewing this place so perhaps I came at he wrong time?
