Diner Reviews
  • "I had high hopes but realistic expectations. The sushi was awful. Some seemed pre made and the fish was try. I had toro sashimi for a high price as a daily special and it wasn't toro at all... Any hole in the wall sushi place in LA has better sushi. If you're just coming for other food or just drinks during happy hour it could be a great hangout. I took a date for sushi and it was a complete bust."

Ordered our drinks I got An iced tea and asked for sugar which never came and when the waiter realized he forgot brought me another iced tea cuz it was warm. And that's just how It Began.. Was looking forward to an amazing night and I was just completely disappointed.."

  • "First time here, awful service. When asking out waiter about the menu, he quickly seemed annoyed and told us that he and other stuff to do and he would come back. We felt rushed to order so we didn't really get to explore the menu. My date ordered the burger med-well, it came out almost moo-ing (rare-med). The music had been shut down for the dj, but it took the dj nearly 30min to set up, I had to get up to ask one of the servers if some music could be turned on since the ambiance was that of forks hitting plates and kitchen pans being tossed - awful that there was no vibe, radio silence for a restaurant in venice. The sashimi pizza was the only good thing i could enjoy. Not a pleasant first experience."

  • "Went Fri nite. Restaurent pretty empty. Menu items not that appetitizing. Thank goodness they are associated with James beach restaurent across the street. They brought us food from their kitchen. Don't have a lot of hope for this place."

  • "The decore is interesting and unique while I was ok with it, my wife hated it. The food was a real letdown. We know our sushi and this is not up to par with the LA sushi restaurants. Service was tolerable but it seemed to get slower as the evening progressed, we had to call several times to ask for the check."

  • "Great time.....Solomon was funny and recommended several dishes as it was our first time. I truly enjoyed the Volcano cocktail (drink serves 2-4) with a flame in center .....they must start selling the glass it's served in.. Super cool and unique."

  • "This place is a Venice staple. Great happy hour. Good food. Relaxing Venice Beach atmosphere. Not pretentious. No complaints. It's a solid place."

  • "The service was absolutely horrible & the food just as bad. We ordered only sushi & we weren't sharing it with the 3 of us. Yet what came out was everything for one person, then the next & then finally the last person. So we didn't even get to eat together. It took over an hour to get food to start coming & when the last person's food arrived, it was wrong. Can honestly say I will NEVER go to this place again. When we tried to get our waiter's attention, he would come over & we would ask him what was going on & then he would disappear. He wouldn't return to give us an update. The wine was awful, the mixed drinks even more awful - never a good sign when you keep adding water to your cocktail not because it is strong but instead gross."

  • "Always love Canal Club. Great food and very good service. Loved that they served their regular menu and happy hour on Valentines Day, as opposed to a handful of restaurants sticking you with a "special" menu for the night. Thanks for a really nice evening."

  • "Second time dining there. This time the food and service was just average. We sat in the bar area becuase it seemed more lively. But our waiter seemed to forget about us there. We were there for my husban's birthday and they gladly surprised him with a dessert -- with candle and all. But they also charged us for it. I was kinda surprised, since it seems most places will do that gratis for someone's birthday. The key lime pie was outstanding however, so I had no reaso to complain."

  • "No toro, though it was on the menu. Spider roll (tempura-fried soft shell crab) was the skinniest I've ever had--and not particularly tasty. Uni sushi so-so. Great mojitos, though. Would only go back if my girlfriend insists on it."

  • "Great atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. Nice diversity on the menu, tried the sushi and grilled carne asada; both were exceptionally good. Good destination for special occasions."

  • "Wanted a place with a vibe and not to noisy to talk... This was perfect, the lively bar area is separated by the sushi bar, good layout!"

  • "My boyfriend and I had an over all lovely experience at the Canal Club Wood Grill and Sushi Bar. The food was excellent and was ready in no time. The drinks were eclectic and tasty. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed uninterested in us and proceeded to dote over the other couples surrounding us and pretty much ignoring us. He failed to clear our appetizer dishes till we were almost finished with our entrees and never asked us if we would like another round of drinks. Since the food and beverages were so good, along with the company, our waiters absence turned into a minor irritation that we joked about."

  • "We stumbled into Canal Club Wood Grill and Sushi Bar and had the BEST meal. I am a bit of a sushi freak, and the Rainbow Roll was one of the best I've ever had. My husband thought his tempura tasted like donuts -- never a bad thing! We'll be back."

  • "This place is a local Venice hangout, quirky ambiance and a great staff. The food isn't up to five star standards, but we thought everything was very tasty and well presented. I'd never been there before, but I plan to go back. Low key and fun."

  • "I love this place! I go here several times a week and love it always! This goes for the other two restaurants that Danny and James own (Danny's & James Beach) both in Venice and delicious! Keep up the good work guys! Great happy hour too! -Jon G"

  • "Even though "sushi bar" is in the title, I wouldn't eat here for the fish. It's convenience-store quality at best. But the bar scene seems pretty lively and the service was very good."

  • "From the website, this place seems like a posh, sleek, and intimate fusion restaurant, but upon arriving at the restaurant I was surprised to find half the restaurant is a very lively, rowdy sports bar with a sushi bar in the middle, and a more upscale booth-centered seating area on the other side. Unfortunately the sushi bar in the middle does little to dampen the noise emanating out of the bar section, so the ambiance is unfortunately not so great. The food was good and inventive, and an interesting mix of different cuisines, though not necessarily fusion as much as a mixture of items from different cuisines on the same menu (sushi, chinese food, mexican food, burgers). Very expansive wine list, and all in all we still had a great evening"

  • "A very fun dinner. Excellent service, good sushi and enough other choices for those who don't like sushi. Some innovation in sushi as well as general high quality."
    Dined on 7/3/2010
  • "There were 4 of us. They never brought my husband's main course. Of course they didn't charge it, but it was upsetting. By the time the manager came around after we'd asked to see him, the rest of us were finished with our dinner. We won't go back."
