Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-21

Guests highly praise the excellent location near Universal Studios, nearby dining, and friendly staff during operating hours. However, many criticize the small, outdated rooms, plumbing and maintenance issues like clogged drains and poor hot water, as well as inadequate soundproofing. The front desk lacks 24/7 coverage, requiring guests to visit another property for assistance at night, and parking spaces are often too tight.

Leona’s Sushi House

Japanese, Peruvian

$$$

Some places have great ambience. Others have terrific food. Think you can't find both in the same spot? Think again, then head to Leona's Sushi House. This hip spot has a variety of distinctive spaces that lure creative types and beautiful people. This Japanese fusion menu never misses a beat. Dishes are often irreverent, as in rich and savory udon carbonara with paper thin smoked pork belly, creamy egg and parmigiano; and the sticky-sweet oxtail-stuffed bao is craveworthy. Seafood is impressive, whether it's ceviche or sashimi-quality halibut bathed in a ponzu sauce vinaigrette. Chef's specia

Asanebo

Japanese, Sushi

$$$$

With its spare design, fire-glazed stone pottery and even Hello Kitty dolls doubling as décor, everything about Asanebo’s look is appealing. There is certainly no dearth of sushi restaurants in this city, but this well-regarded favorite has been at it for more than two decades. Three omakase options open the menu, which then expands to an impressive, if somewhat dizzying five pages filled with everything from maki, house signature dishes and an entire page dedicated to desserts. With so many decisions, it’s best to stick to the daily specials, though do keep a close watch on the prices, which

Experience the flavors of Argentina and Uruguay at ALTO, a live-fire restaurant in Studio City led by Juana Castellanos Lagemann and Esteban Klenzi. Both chefs have impressive fine dining resumes, and here they focus on the fire, delivering hearty, comforting dishes with an elevated, modern take. It's all easily shareable, so go ahead and order several for the table. Begin with breads like chipa, a cheesy yuca bread accompanied by tomato butter, or criollo, a buttery layered bread served with herb butter. Hand-cut braised beef and house-made dough stand out in the OG empanada. Proteins, like t

Sushi Note

Japanese, Sushi

$$$$

Nota bene: Sushi Note is far from a postscript. Whether you're here for the supreme fish or distinctly focused wine selection, it hits all the marks. The sleek dining room is defined by soft fabrics, moody colors and provocative artwork, including framed letters and photos. Chef Kiminobu Saito showcases serious craftsmanship, ace textures and rare flavors in his seasonal plates, available in half-note or full-note omakase menus or à la carte. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every piece of nigiri and sashimi cut to order. Meaty and sweet scallop with truffle salt and citrus, perfect
