Kogane — The Only Name You’ll Want to Remember 🍣✨

Went for a meal with friends without sky-high expectations—just trying a new spot. But wow, were we blown away! 😄 🍶 Clean, Comfortable, Classy Similar price range as Sogani, but I personally prefer Kogane—better ambiance, presentation, and even the plates feel more refined. 👨🍳 The Chef Truly Makes the Experience So personable! He introduced each dish, chatted with us, and kept the vibe warm and engaging. When we took photos, he jumped in playfully 🫶. Throughout the meal, it felt light, fun, and genuinely enjoyable. At one point, he even brought out a freshly delivered box of auction-grade uni 🎁—just arrived that day! We added it on the spot. So sweet, so fresh… absolutely unforgettable. And yes, you can find auction-grade uni in LA, but this felt special ✨ 🍣 Not a Single Miss—Every Piece Stood Out No overly fancy tricks—just confident pacing, precise sourcing, and deeply satisfying flavors. Left us feeling completely content, happy, and already planning our next visit 💫 💸 Dinner vs. Lunch We did dinner 🍽️, added sake and a few extras—came out to $500+ per person. Felt complete and worth every penny. Lunch is $120/pp—fewer courses and nigiri, perfect for your first omakase experience or if you just really love Japanese cuisine. Feels like a reliable everyday version designed for regulars. Definitely trying next time! 📌 The Takeaway: Easy to book ✅ Great chef conversations ✅ Relaxed environment ✅ Fair pricing ✅ Zero disappointments ✅ Consistently excellent experience ✅ This is the kind of omakase you try once—and immediately want to remember and return to. #KoganeLA #HiddenGem #Omakase #JapaneseCuisine #LAEats #FoodieFind #OasisInTheDesert #SushiLovers #MealToRemember
