    Great service and chef. Our family of four went for Valentines Day and food and service was good. Small wait even though we had a reservation but to be expected as it was a holiday.

    Such delicious and high quality sushi!!! It’s a little bit out-of-the-way for us as we live down the hill on the other side of Beverly Hills but we always love to come here because it’s worth the drive. The food is so delicious and the flavors are unique. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s consistently delicious

    Leona’s is hands down one of the Best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Each dish they serve is superb and tastes sublime. It is my favorite go to place for sushi, it is always so fresh! The ambience is nice, there are three rooms to choose from so you can decide how noisy you’d like your meal to be. The service is quick and easy. The restaurant is a great choice and I am always impressed with the quality.
