Restaurant in West Hollywood, United States
Intimate counter dining on Sunset Strip.
Sushi Park on Sunset Strip is a compact, counter-style Japanese venue suited to solo diners and pairs who prioritise precision over scene. Booking is rated easy but the intimate room fills fast on weekends — plan at least a week ahead. A focused alternative to the brunch-heavy options elsewhere on the Strip.
Sushi Park is one of West Hollywood's harder tables to plan around — seats are limited, the format is intimate, and the address on Sunset Strip puts it squarely in the path of a crowd that moves fast. If you are the kind of diner who researches before booking, that combination is a signal worth paying attention to. Book as soon as you know your date; this is not a walk-in situation.
Tucked into a Sunset Boulevard address — Suite 20 at 8539 Sunset Blvd , Sushi Park occupies a compact, counter-style room that rewards those who seek it out. The setting is deliberately spare: no sprawling dining room, no theatrical entrance. For food-focused diners, that restraint is the point. A small counter format means you are close to the action, which suits solo diners and pairs better than larger groups.
Weekend service in this part of West Hollywood is competitive. The Strip has no shortage of places chasing the brunch crowd with elaborate platings and long waits. Sushi Park sits outside that lane. If you are looking for a morning or midday format here, set expectations around a focused, Japanese-leaning menu rather than the eggs-and-cocktails circuit. That distinction matters for planning: if your group wants a sprawling brunch spread, Gracias Madre or Fresh on Sunset are better fits. If precision and a quieter room are the priority, Sushi Park earns consideration.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, which is a relative advantage on the Sunset Strip. That said, the intimate room size means availability can tighten quickly on weekends. Book at least a week out for weekend slots; weekday timing is more forgiving. There is no published phone number or website in our current data, so the most reliable path is a direct visit or third-party reservation platform. Parking in this stretch of Sunset can be difficult , budget extra time or use a rideshare. For more options in the area, see our full West Hollywood restaurants guide.
This is a venue for the diner who prioritises quality and intimacy over scene. Solo diners and pairs will get the most from the counter format. If you are drawn to omakase-style precision at venues like Atomix in New York City or the focused tasting approach of Lazy Bear in San Francisco, Sushi Park belongs on your shortlist for a West Hollywood visit. Larger groups or those looking for a high-energy evening should look elsewhere. For context on the broader neighbourhood, explore our West Hollywood bars guide and hotels guide to plan the full trip.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
The counter-style room at 8539 Sunset Blvd skews toward a relaxed but put-together crowd. There is no documented dress code, but the intimate format and Sunset Strip address suggest smart casual is a safe call. Avoid anything too casual — this is not a neighbourhood spot where flip-flops fit.
No specific dietary accommodation policy is documented for Sushi Park. For any allergy or restriction, check the venue's official channels before booking — counter-format sushi restaurants typically have limited flexibility on the night. If dietary flexibility is a priority, a larger à la carte Japanese restaurant in the area may be a safer choice.
Yes — the counter format is genuinely well-suited to solo diners. You get direct engagement with the service and the food without the awkwardness of a table for one. Booking is rated easy relative to comparable Sunset Strip venues, so a solo reservation is straightforward to secure.
For two people, yes. The intimate room and counter setting make it a better fit for a focused, low-distraction dinner than a celebratory group meal. If you are booking for four or more, the limited seating may be a constraint — check availability early and confirm the room can accommodate your group before treating it as a set-piece occasion venue.
Merois at the Pendry offers a higher-production rooftop experience on the same strip if atmosphere and cocktails matter as much as the food. Restaurant AOC on nearby Third Street is a strong alternative for wine-led small plates when you want a longer, more social meal. If the appeal of Sushi Park is specifically the counter format and intimacy, neither fully replicates it — they serve a different purpose.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
