LA's Japanese Dining Peak — Shin Sushi 🍣✨

Having lived in LA for eight years and tried plenty of Japanese spots, I can say Shin Sushi's chef truly focuses on the essence of sushi — no flashy gimmicks, just pure, delicious craftsmanship. Every fish’s texture and flavor are thoughtfully paired — he has seven or eight different soy sauces on his counter alone! The fish is seasonal — first visit the uni was from Mexico (a bit of a letdown), second visit it was Hokkaido uni 😍 I’m very sensitive to fishiness, but everything here is exceptionally fresh. The chef introduces each piece in detail, and chatting with him is a delight. His father runs a sushi shop of the same name in Tokyo, and he previously worked at Asanebo before opening his own place in 2018 — earning a Michelin star the following year. His senior colleague runs Kaneyoshi in DTLA. $130 omakase — outstanding quality for the price. Must‑order dessert: Tofu Mousse — heavenly! 📍 Encino is a bit of a drive, but weekends are less traffic‑heavy. 📞 Phone‑only reservations.
