LA | Makomae | Post-Work Fresh Sushi Fix 🍣

After a long day, when I crave some good sushi, I always think of this neighborhood spot. High turnover means super fresh ingredients — it’s actually a little-known gem among many top omakase chefs in LA. Heard it’s like a training ground for sushi talent! Whenever Diamond Bar comes up, chefs mention Makomae — just learned that recently. 🔪 Knife skills here are impressive — cuts are generous and thick. I usually order à la carte, but they also offer omakase starting around $70 for ~10 pieces. The chef keeps serving until you say stop, then bills you at the end. My friend’s record: 22 pieces for under $100 — insane value! 🍳 Their chawanmushi is the silkiest I’ve had — absolutely incredible. The vibe is cozy and genuine — almost hesitate to share since it already gets busy 😅 #LifeAbroad #PrettyPlates #MyFoodTreasures #SushiLovers #LAEats #LAFoodGuide #Uni
