The Tsuri Story
Tsuri Sushi has been a quiet fixture on Melrose Avenue for over a decade — serious fish, inventive rolls, and a room that feels like a neighborhood secret worth keeping.
Tsuri Sushi | Our Story
Rooted on Melrose Since 2013
Tsuri opened on one of LA's most eclectic stretches and has stayed put ever since. More than eleven years in, the address hasn't changed — and neither has the commitment to getting the fish right.
The Fish Comes First
The menu is built around pristine sashimi, thoughtful nigiri, and an omakase experience that lets the kitchen show what it can do. Every plate starts with the ingredient, not the concept.
Rolls Worth Coming Back For
The chef's rolls draw regulars on their own — including the Hungry Steve, a house creation that guests have been calling out by name for years. Inventive without being fussy.
Everyone Eats Well Here
Tsuri runs a dedicated gluten-free fryer — rare for any restaurant, rarer still at a sushi bar. Vegan and vegetarian options are woven throughout the menu, not an afterthought.
A Neighborhood Gem, Recognized
ABC7's Community Eats featured Tsuri as exactly what it is: a warm, unpretentious room where first-timers leave feeling like regulars. That's the goal every night.
