I’ve been to Orochon, Daikokuya, Killer Noodle, many other Ramen spots in LA; Nishi is by far the best I’ve had! The broth is extremely flavorful and the Spicy Miso bowl has a great kick to it. Highly recommend, owner was trained by the HiroNori founders. Probably something there that has to do with it.

I wanted to try a new Poke & Ramen restaurant and NISHI did not disappoint. It was suggested to me to try one of their house Poke Bowls, The Hawaiian and it was Excellent...

Ordered Aloha and Koa Bowl to go, it was so delicious! Didn’t know that we can all the toppings offered, love it so much. Portion was enough for me, fresh fish and veggies. Dine in place was okay, nothing special, but def good to order in or to go. Added to my favorite list, hope they maintain their quality and fast service!

Awesome poke bowls AND ramen. Having dined at the Nishi Poke & Ramen Bar that's slightly up north, I finally tried this location, so I can say that quality is consistent between locations. Pickup: easy, painless Food: I had the large poke bowl. I'm a disgusting pig, so I I inhaled it. It was a good amount of grub and it tasted fresh to the point that I felt 'good' after eating. Service: both locations have such kind people working there. Only adds to the experience. Parking: 100% sure there's a parking lot, but in true Justin fashion, I parked across the street before I realized that. Recommend: Yes

One of my favorite poke places! I love the Aloha Bowl. The interior is small with only a few spots—my wife and I like to walk here for a casual lunch or dinner, but if you’re coming from farther I’d get the food to-go.

High quality fish for the Poke and consistently friendly staff. Great prices too when taking into account the portion sizes, especially compared to some of the more "fancy-looking" Poke shops that are trend-first, quality second. Definitely worth it every time.

This is the best Poke place. Very fresh delicious ingredients with many different selections of toppings to choose from. Really like that it is conveniently located in the Culver City neighborhood with ample free parking. The shop hours here have recently changed. They no longer are opened on Sundays. The sign on the door stated that their other Nishi Poke shop at 2536 Overland Ave (near Pico Blvd) is open on Sundays. Went to this second Poke shop on a Sunday to get our Poke's. Parking is very limited at the second Poke shop & had to park on the street.
