LA | Makomae | A Sushi Lover’s Dream

Some restaurants have that one dish you’d happily return for again and again— and for me at Makomae, it’s the squid sushi 🦑🍣 It’s the most tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth version I’ve ever had, cut with perfect thickness and precision ✨ Today, I also tried what might be the silkiest chawanmushi of my life—each spoonful was a quiet revelation 🥚💫 Why no photos? My friend took a bite, gasped in awe, and I immediately followed— it was so smooth, it practically slid down my throat before I could even reach for my phone 😂📸 At just $50–60 per person, the lunch set here is an incredible value 🏷️💖 The high turnover means everything is consistently fresh, and the efficient yet warm service makes every visit feel special. From flawless nigiri to delicate steamed egg custard, Makomae masters the art of subtlety and technique 🍱👨🍳 It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why you fell in love with sushi in the first place. #Foodie #SushiHeaven #LAEats #Omakase #JapaneseCuisine #HiddenGem #AffordableLuxury #FreshFish #FoodJoy #MustTryLA
