7 Omakase Spots in Los Angeles 🍣

Yamamoto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ingredients are fresh — tuna was excellent. Generous portion of crab meat per person (much more than Kaneyoshi’s shared crab). Chef is handsome, polite, and attentive. 📍 Beverly Hills | 💲390+ pp Kaneyoshi ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Harder to book than it is delicious. Ambiance is nice but noisy. Started strong with appetizers, then declined — the tamagoyaki was oddly bad (even the chef admitted he doesn’t like it 😅). 📍 DTLA | 💲400+ pp n/naka ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The BEST 🏆 From the moment you walk in, service is professional and warm. Every course was a delightful surprise, flavors harmonized perfectly. My favorite recent omakase — left happy and satisfied. Will return! 📍 Culver City | 💲310+ pp Kogane ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The chef seemed in a rush the night we went — minimal interaction, felt like he wanted to finish early. Fish was fresh and tasty, but service was lackluster. 📍 Alhambra | 💲300+ pp Sushi Yuen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Saw mixed reviews online but was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful tableware, delicious food, chef was humorous and engaging. They even sang happy birthday, served cake, and gave a Polaroid photo — such a sweet touch. Will return for the lovely dishes and warm service 🫶🏻🥰 📍 Rowland Heights | 💲250+ pp (weekdays) Shunji (by Shunji) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shunji’s appetizers are much stronger — he focuses more on starters, while his apprentice Miki specializes in sushi. 📍 Santa Monica | 💲280+ pp Shunji (by Miki) ⭐️⭐️ Miki’s seat is easier to book (next to Shunji’s room), but the food wasn’t great. Only memorable dish was the eggplant 🍆 — won’t return for Miki. 📍 Santa Monica | 💲250+ pp Sushi Zo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wide variety of fish — small portions per course, so you can try many things. No misses, good for smaller appetites. Simple, no‑frills setting. 📍 DTLA | 💲250+ pp Personal taste, not professional reviews #LAOmakase #LAFood #LittleTokyo #LobsterRoll #Eggslut #CaliforniaEats 🍴🌴
