What The Fish

Found this place via Unilocal.Hidden gem, fresh fish, loved the surf & turf and spicy tuna roll. The flavored garlic edamame was delicious. Service quick, went during the week at lunch time not too crowded. Highly recommend for the sushi lover.

The bento box is awesome. The sushi dinner special is also pretty good. But their beef teriyaki is unreliable. Sometimes its great and sometimes is looks like it’s from Yoshinoya.

Very nice place. Small and inviting. The staff greet u as u enter & the provide u with a menu & checklist to order ur food. They have a very large selection of sushi & I cannot wait to try the Philadelphia roll spicy of course!

Located in silverlake this little restaurant goes with the other hip places popping up in the area. The first thing I noticed was the uncleanliness of the dishes. Some had black specs and some with previous stains from other condiments.
In terms of food, I highly recommend the oysters, they are pretty cheap and goooooodddd. I had the deluxe sashimi which had decent quality of fish. Overall quality of food is nothing special, your typical around the corner sushi spot.

WTF is pretty ace considering the location and prices.
It’s a tiny place however, so grab a seat, and stay put.
The quality of fish you get is well above grocery store sushi, and just above (or on par depending) the typical price.
Which makes this place a steal.
Service is really attentive, and you’re treated like royalty here.
The one hangup however, is the ramen.
I waited 25+ minutes for a bowl of ramen that was on the menu with no description or price.
But hell, I love me a bowl of noodles, so I waited for this mystery bowl.
It looked pretty, don’t get me wrong.
The noodles were really nice.
But the broth wasn’t as hearty or flavorful as a pork broth usually is.
It honestly wasn’t worth the long wait.
The whole ordeal prior to my bowl… My friends had received, and shared all of their appetizers, and sushi, because they felt bad for me sitting there, waiting.
It just… No.
But please, enjoy the sushi. It’s definitely worth it, and comes out fast.

They have a «build your own roll» option. That basically sealed the deal on this becoming my new favorite sushi place. I only wish they had a licence to serve alcohol so that I could have some sake to go with my meal.

Eh… Ok. Wish it was something special.

WTF isn’t just okay. I got the combo dinner and a yellowtail roll. The sushi in the combo dinner wasn’t the quality I expected. It was pretty absent of flavors. Then I get got to the albacore part and almost puked– it tasted and smelled like rotten spam dunked in the ocean.
While ordering something told me to just stick to rolls but honestly even if I did I think I would be unsatisfied. The fish wasn’t fresh and was mute of flavors. This might of been because I ordered in the last hour they were open. However, that shouldn’t even be a factor.
Some good things, I asked through Eat24 if I could trade miso for a small salad without an extra charge– they included a small cucumber salad. The only problem was it was literally very thin sliced cucumbers with sugar water squirted on top.
The spicy tuna roll by far was the best thing I had from here. It was a better spicy tuna in this sushi price range. Get that. Overall, I have to do some real healing before I eat again from here.
If it weren’t Monday I would have gone to Noshi sushi. I’ll end this as positively as possible– my food was ready when I picked it up. I guess that counts for something.

Whenever I’m in this part of town, I try to stop here and grab some sushi for example the ganja is a great appetizer and the fish always fresh I always go with the yellowtail and salmon and from the rolls gotta go with an Obama roll. I stopped by recently and now there serving BEER & SAKE this place just got that much better and their hot sake here taste so much better than most places it doesn’t have that nasty after taste overall great spot now I can grab a beer and some sushi

I have been in WTF restaurant since November 2015 and I tried the best sushi ever I tried before. WTF restaurant has a delicious sushi and plus it is cheap. Moreover, they also deliver the sushi. I would definitely suggest you WTF sushi restaurant. In addition, starting yesterday
WTF started to serve a beer and a wine. I think, it is a good combination sushi with beer and wine. If I were you, I would try combination sushi with wine. I would definitely suggest you this restaurant; moreover, you will not find the second restaurant who makes sushi very good and serve wine and beer.

I’m a sushi type of person I would definitely bring my friends here I love there 911 roll it’s a little spicy. When I first came here they didn’t have beer wine but now there serving it ! Sushi + beer ! That’s a perfect combo for me u guys should come I know I’ll be back for sure (:

Those late night cravings get the best of me and the delivery option was too good to NOT use. They brought it to us in less than 45 minutes right before they closed and after their usual cutoff of deliveries. Will use again!

I’ve been to Silver Lake twice in my life now, and both times I chose to eat lunch at What the Fish. It’s all in the quality and execution here. The prices aren’t cheap, but you’re getting what you pay for. I’ve tried a few different things off the menu, as well as straight sashimi (thick slices of lovely fresh tuna and salmon) and a few different small plates like seaweed salad and Ahi with crispy scallions (YUM). The rolls are fresh and executed beautifully and the recipes are thoughtful and delicious.
Our server on my first visit was slow at first, as we arrived at an odd hour in between lunch and dinner. All our orders arrived quickly after that and our drinks were promptly replenished. Our server on my second visit was a super nice and friendly dude who delighted in our sleeping infant (points!) and brought each delicious order out in perfectly timed fashion.
Although it’s small, it’s full of charm and the staff obviously love what they’re making and serving. I love this place, I would highly recommend it to anyone, and I will definitely be back when I’m in the area again!

Ordered delivery and received food 1 hour and 45 minutes later. Did a call to check in on the status and was told food was out for delivery. 30 mins later received food that was soggy and turned upside down.
Received 2 free ice teas so that means food wasn’t out for delivery. The ice teas also spilled all over the food and created a mess.
Sad to say but I won’t be returning for in-​house dining or delivery.

I’m going to have to repeat pretty much what Jessica D. said… we must have been there at the same time!
The prices were reasonable, the sushi above average and the timeliness service-​wise great. However, the waitress seemed to be in a really bad mood or have a chip on her shoulder and brought the check without us having to ask… which is great if you’re in a hurry, but not if you want to have a relaxing time. I got the vibe that they wanted us to get the «WTF» out.
It’s a cramped space, small tables, and the ambience is lacking. However if you just want a quick bite to eat with above-​average sushi at reasonable prices on your way in/​out of Trader Joe’s or having your shoes repaired, then this is a decent pit-​stop.

Scorching temperatures make me hungry for sushi and many sushi places are closed Mondays. Not What The Fish! It is small, cramped and busy. I liked the blue crab roll, salmon, uni, oshitashi. They have a lot of fun rolls, but I like more traditional sushi.
The octopus in the sunomono was too chewy. The sushi rice has a little too much vinegar on balance. So many Unilocalers raved about the BLCR so I tried it, but it is too rich for my tastes. But to be fair, it came last so I was filling up.
I’d go again.

I almost don’t want to post this review because I don’t want this place to blow up. It’s phenomenal fresh with unique flavors. It’s expertly decorated. It’s delicious.
We got the BLCR (so good!), garlic edamame, miso soup, shrimp tempura tuna roll, salmon skin roll and spicy salmon roll. All delicious but the BLCR was my favorite … It must be the excessive amount of yummy mayo on top.
It’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

This place is booooomb. I’ve only gotten take away… but I’ve done it twice in the last two weeks… hahaha
When I walked in, everyone was extremely friendly and definitely made we want to come here to sit down and eat with a friend!
Since I’m not a fan of eel and was Mer about spicy tuna rolls, I opted out of the combo sushi dish and instead ordered an order of albacore sushi, yellowtail, shrimp, uni, and tamago (egg) sushi. It was pretttyyyyy bomb. Everything felt fresh, rice was well cooked, and they give you more wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce than I knew what to do with. With tax, pick up was $ 24 (uni is about $ 7…but it’s so worth iiiit haha)
Definitely ordering from here again!

First of all, such a cute name for a sushi place! They have good advertisement outside, and it really caught my eye — especially in comparison to the place that was there before (I cannot even recall the name).
I’m very happy that they now offer online ordering (Eat24 or grubhub). I ordered online the other night and got the dinner combo. It was about $ 14 and included miso soup, 7 pcs of variety sushi (6 raw fish, 1 seared), and a spicy tuna roll. Definitely worth the price! I didn’t even finish it all and was full. Now I’m excited to go back and try other rolls.
There are meters right out front!

This is such an expensive habit, but I can’t stop ordering from What The Fish. I just really love seafood. This particular restaurant, though, is pretty hit-​or-​miss: I’d give it about 3.5 stars if that was an option.
I usually order the Dinner Sushi Combination for $ 13.95, which is seven pieces of sushi (tuna, salmon, shrimp, albacore, yellowtail, red snapper and eel), a cup of miso soup and an eight-​piece spicy tuna roll (spicy tuna and cucumber with rice outside). And I also always get a five-​piece salmon skin roll ($ 3.95), which is salmon skin, gobo, cucumber and dry bonito.
Sometimes they’re missing a piece of the sushi, and sometimes it’s pretty warm, and sometimes it really doesn’t taste fresh at all. Sometimes the items are packed really haphazardly and spilled all over each other and there’s miso soup on everything and it’s a big mess.
But! Other times, everything is beautiful and delicious, and that’s what keeps me coming back. The salmon skin roll is usually always crisp and fantastically savory. The eel and albacore sushi pieces are always the best.
They raised the prices after they’d already gotten me hooked, though, which is very unfair! And then they gave me some coupons that are only valid if you’re a first-​time customer, which is not useful at all?
Ah, but I just can’t quit. It’s just too convenient and (mostly) satisfying.
