Message from the Business
Sushi Roku is located steps away from the Santa Monica Pier, 3rd Street Promenade and walking distance to the beach.
Our chefs prepare innovative small dishes out of succulent, sliced hunks of raw fish. The scallop dynamite is tender and sweet--one of the best in town--and the rich black cod is a perfect counterbalance to the more delicate sashimi dishes. Try any sashimi appetizer, such as salmon or bonito, with tangy garlic ponzu sauce and jalapeno tempura. We have daily sushi specials that usually include rarer and more expensive Japanese imports such as ishi-tai (black tail snapper), sayori (half beak) and kohada (gizzard shad).

on Citysearch Jan 13, 2009The sushi and sashimi is fresh and attractively prepared. The server kept up with our ordering pattern, but seemed a little distracted (overworked?) and it took a few reminders to keep the drinks coming in concert... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 08, 2009This is one place I take out-of-town friends because it ALWAYS delivers! Consistently fresh sushi and they always have really good "fancy" rolls that are different than anywhere else. I cannot recommend highly... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 09, 2008<b>In Short</b><br>The Santa Monica branch of this ultra-hip sushi chain offers the same urban-meets-Zen design, but surpasses other outposts with an ocean view from the enclosed patio. Most nights, the bar area... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 12, 2008Worst sushi of my life!! I wouldn't have minded the $200+ bill if the food was good. Very smushy rice, tough kobe beef, california rolls that tasted like the sushi chef was practicing on me and really, I'm not that hard... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2008Sushi Roku's Santa Monica location (there are also locations in West Hollywood and Pasadena), is on Ocean Blvd. and is always packed full. A great place to people watch and if you are an "out of towner", this is hip... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 24, 2008While the bar is a bit of a "scene", the service was good and the food was even better! The view is wonderful and the location is one that will keep you staying around a bit longer than you might otherwise. The eel is... (more)
