It's like the owners and head chefs learned all the things that make a sushi spot perfect in LA and put them all into Karma. The food is magnificent. The employees are knowledgeable and experienced but not pretentious. The drinks are spot on and...Read More

Valet on weekends. Street parking available too.I guess you can bring kids, but I would not call this a kid friendly place. It's a bit more upscale, but I've seen kids there.Handicap parking in back but you need to come around to the front to get in. I think if you call ahead they can unlock the back employee entrance if that's easier.
