Club Sushi is located in the heart of Hollywood just adjacent to the Arclight theatre. Club Sushi has 2 other locations in Hermosa Beach and San Diego. Since we’ve been mostly going to restaurants in the West LA area, neither of us had heard of Club Sushi before they contacted us, and man, were we glad that they did! To be honest we probably would not have gone to Club Sushi on our own, since we usually search out smaller joints that focus on fish and simply - sushi. We were extremely surprised by the quality, the creativity of the menu and the comfortable location. Highly recommended! Here’s what we had:

 

Yellowtail Cilantro Roll - Awesome

A beautiful presentation that resembled a snake, this roll was pretty top notch.  The veggies in this roll made it very light & fresh; wrapped with avocado and topped with jalapeño this roll provided a perfect combination of flavors and had a little kick. 

 

‘Tuna’ Sashimi Salad - Awesome

A creative presentation with the tuna (shaped like a rose), this salad was a great starter dish. The portion and quality of the tuna was good.  Although topped with a citrus/sesame oil/soy dressing that brought out the dish, it could have used a bit more citrus to brighten it up.

 

Chef’s Choice - Amazing

We were served this wonderful presentation of seared ‘Tuna With Strawberry, Crispy Shitake Mushrooms & Miso Mayo’ that was easily the best dish of the night.  A very creative dish that was not only appealing to our eyes but to our mouths. The tuna was nicely seared and had a delicateness to it that was a little nutty, light & sweet.  This is a must order.

 

Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad with Asparagus - Good

A VERY generous portion! The cut’s of tuna were a bit too large and a little over seasoned. Again, the dressing could have used a bit more citrus (less soy) to brighten it up and perhaps help cut the seasoning.  If you’re in the mood for a hearty salad, this is definitely what you want to order. Very good! 

 

Also recommended: Kobe beef sliders and the sticky toffee pudding! We had to try a couple off menu items just for the hell of it, as they were a couple signature items. If you’re a burger lover and have a sweet tooth, these don’t disappoint. 

 

In Short:  We very much enjoyed our experience at Club Sushi.  It may not come across as your traditional sushi spot with the sports bar/entertainment hot spot vibe and more varietal menu options, but it has some creative dishes you don’t want to miss.  A perfect spot for groups, pre-theater dinner, or simply - sushi.
