High-quality, set-menu sushi with warm rice and crisp nori; excellent fish quality, but service pacing and wait times can frustrate some diners.

Restaurant Summary

The Hollywood outpost of this brand leans warm and bustling rather than fancy, with minimalist lines and a steady hum of conversation. Diners talk about fish that melts over gently warm rice, and staff who keep the crisp nori rolls coming. One diner summed it up: "Set menus made the choices easy and the blue crab roll was a knockout." The cooking is about elevated simplicity: pristine cuts, restrained seasoning, and that signature warm rice. Trust Me sets pace you through sashimi, nigiri, then hand rolls; toro tastings and uni add-ons tempt big fans. It suits people who prefer ingredient-first sushi over sauced-up fusion, though a few guests found pacing rushed or rice too loose. Families do fine here if kids like simple sushi. There is no kids menu, but cucumber rolls and crab hand rolls are easy wins, and portions on the set menus are manageable. If little ones avoid seafood entirely, options are very limited beyond edamame, so plan accordingly.
