Robata JINYA on 3rd Street is an izakaya-style spot where skewers, ramen, and sushi rolls share a long, lively menu. Guests build dinners around signature rolls, robata plates, and cocktails, making it a versatile choice for groups who want more than a straight-ahead sushi bar.

What Makes it Special: Izakaya with serious skewers and bento-style sushi roll combos under one roof.

Worthy Picks

$$ Fairfax Japanese, Sushi
A European sushi chain's first American location that leans into high-technique presentations—wagyu nigiri, hamachi mango, composed rolls—paired with a soju-and-sake-only drink program that keeps the focus tight. The room runs loud with trance and jazz on weekends, so it plays better as a social date night than a quiet conversation spot. Seasonal menu rotations every four months give regulars a reason to come back, though the brand is still proving itself in the LA sushi landscape.
Must-Try Dishes: Hamachi Mango, Salmon Sushi Spoon, Wagyu Nigiri
What Makes it Special: First US outpost of a 50-location European sushi group, with a soju-and-sake-only cocktail program and a seasonal menu that rotates every four months.
$$ Fairfax Sushi, Steakhouse
Zori Gastrobar is a 3rd Street lounge-leaning restaurant where sushi shares the menu with steaks, ribs, and Eastern European-leaning comfort plates. Guests treat it as a nightlife-friendly spot for rolls, cocktails, and DJs rather than a pure sushi temple.
Must-Try Dishes: Salmon Philadelphia Roll, Black Dragon Roll, Carne Asada Tacos
What Makes it Special: Sushi, steaks, and cocktails served in a lively lounge setting.
