LA｜🍣 A Hidden Gem Japanese Spot I Tried Just One Week After Opening!

This Japanese restaurant deserves its own shoutout 👏 — it just opened one week ago, but the quality is already so consistent it doesn’t feel like a new spot at all! ✨ Toro (Bluefin Tuna Otoro) The marbling is incredibly fine, melts in your mouth, not greasy at all — the kind of delicious that makes you pause and nod in appreciation. ✨ Uni Toast They’re super generous with the uni! The toast is crispy outside, soft inside, and the uni’s natural sweetness shines through. There’s egg yolk inside too — seriously wanted to order another. ✨ Uni Flower Platter (Uni shaped like a flower) Not only beautiful, but the flavor is clean and pure. The uni is fresh with zero fishy taste. ✨ Handrolls Made fresh to order — crispy nori, perfectly warm rice, fresh fish fillings. Every bite is satisfying. They have Japanese uni, caviar, eel rolls — all delicious 😋 🧑‍🍳 Important note on the chefs: All three chefs here come from Providence — a Michelin 3-star restaurant! No wonder the execution is so polished, with attention to detail and flavor. Given the ingredient quality + chef background, the price is really great value! 📍 Sonmari 3503 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026 #Omakase #JapaneseFood #GreatJapaneseEats #LALife #LosAngeles #LAFood #LAJapanese
