" I’m always looking for good sushi places in LA, and I’m glad I found Yen. It’s a quaint spot with a warm ambiance. The fish tasted very fresh and the rolls were nicely put together. I tried a variety, including their tempura rolls and a salmon roll. Each was enjoyable. The only downside was that the place got quite busy, so be prepared for a wait during peak times! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yen Sushi is definitely a must-visit for locals. It’s a small place, so they get busy fast, but the quality of the food makes the wait worth it. Their sushi is fresh and well-made, and I love their bento boxes! A great variety that’s always a good value. Plus, the servers are friendly and efficient! I’ll be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Yen Sushi & Sake Bar for dinner, and it was a delightful experience. The sushi rolls were incredibly fresh, and the presentation was top-notch. I tried their salmon sashimi and the baked yen roll, and both were fantastic. The service was friendly, though slightly slow during peak hours. The ambiance is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yen is a small sushi bar with a lot of character! The ambiance is unique, providing a cozy dining experience. The fish was fresh and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The servers were friendly but occasionally inattentive. I recommend their lunch specials; I had the chicken teriyaki and sushi combo, which was quite filling and well priced. Will definitely come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has tried sushi all around LA, I can confidently say that Yen is one of the better spots! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the rolls were quite innovative yet authentic. I appreciated the variety of options on the menu, and the tempura was crispy and flavorful. The only downside was that the restaurant is quite small, so it gets crowded quickly. This is definitely a must-visit for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re ever in the mood for sushi, I highly recommend Yen Sushi! I tried their specialty rolls, and while they were a bit on the pricier side, the quality made it worthwhile. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both family and casual dining. One drawback was the wait time, but it’s to be expected for such a popular spot. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience at Yen Sushi. The food was fine but not extraordinary, and I was a little let down by the service, which felt a bit chaotic. There were times when I felt like I waited too long for just drinks. It’s a cute restaurant, but I think I was expecting more based on the reviews. Not sure if I will return unless it’s more convenient. " (*Curated Review*)
