“I'd give this place a 4 star for their nice ambiance and overall food quality but the service was not so great and too rushed so one star had to be subtracted.”

Yen Sushi & Sake Bar

Pico-Robertson, Los AngelesWorth trying

Waiting for a flight to Seoul, Roger and a friend grabbed dinner here; he found the rainbow and philly rolls decent but poorly wrapped, and the mixed sashimi plate fresh, though the staff rushed them out the door ahead of closing.

The call

The documented visit included rainbow roll and philly roll and mixed sashimi plate. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

“I'd give this place a 4 star for their nice ambiance and overall food quality but the service was not so great and too rushed so one star had to be subtracted.”

With a few hours to kill before a flight from LAX to Seoul, Roger and a friend ended up at this Pico-Robertson sushi spot after their first choice was closed; the rolls and sashimi were solid, but staff visibly rushed them toward closing time, pushing for payment before they'd finished eating.
