LA Diamond Bar | Makomae | A Humble, Hidden Gem of Sushi

Tucked away in a quiet, unassuming plaza, Makomae draws a loyal crowd even on weeknights—no flashy decor, just pure, honest sushi 🍣❤️ My friend had been before and raved about their omakase: no fixed price, just an estimate (~$60 for 10 pieces), and a staggering variety (she once had 22 unique pieces for $90!). We arrived around 8 PM and snagged the last free table (they start queueing at 6!). Since we weren’t at the counter, we skipped the omakase and ordered à la carte instead—and it was still fantastic. The toro melted with rich, buttery oil, and the fried oysters were plump, fresh, and perfectly crisp 🦪🔥 The high turnover means everything tastes incredibly fresh. Honestly, part of me wants to keep this place a secret—I’m already worried about longer lines next time 😅 But good food deserves to be shared… just book early or prepare to wait! #Foodie #HiddenGem #LAEats #Makomae #SushiSpot #NoFrills #FreshFish #LocalFavorite #WorthTheWait #KeepItQuiet
