About
Q Sushi opened in 2013 on West 7th Street in DTLA, drawing on strict Edomae tradition with fish sourced from Japan. The restaurant held one Michelin star during its early years and has maintained a loyal following for its no-menu, counter-only format. The dining room seats a small number of guests per service and does not offer rolls or cooked dishes beyond traditional tsumami.
Neighborhood & visiting
Q Sushi sits in Arts District, one of Los Angeles's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
