About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
Sushi & Whiskey

Chic. Modern. Sophisticated. But also casual and friendly. The Venue is the cool hot spot on El Paseo, popular with locals, out-of-town visitors and food critics who serve up rave reviews. The Venue is artful, from its sleek décor to the original, ever-evolving menu, enthusiastically created by owner/chef Engin Onural. "This is my art," he shares. "Each plate is a painting, but I use fish instead of paint."

    The sushi rolls are inconsistent and last night is was not great, I should get the same experience everytime I visit. The El Paseo roll did not taste anything like us usually does and the Venue roll was so spicy (much more than usual) and not enjoyed.

    We started with the oysters, they were fresh and the sauce was perfect. We then ordered some nigiri, the order is only one piece which is different than every sushi restaurant we have been to. Then we had two rolls, the lollipop and the experiment, both were delicious. Our server was very friendly and efficient.
