🍣 LA Omakase Mori Nozomi | An All-Female Team Restaurant

This year’s Michelin star winner—and probably LA’s first female sushi chef to earn one! Let’s start with the conclusion: the thoughtful service really elevated the meal, showcasing a distinctly feminine attention to detail. The restaurant’s decor appears simple yet elegant and refined. But! From a food perspective, I wasn’t completely won over. The sushi seasoning was very subtle—mostly the natural flavor of the fish—but when I got to the Mackerel, I even felt it was a bit fishy. 🐟 The rest were okay; the eggplant sushi was a first for me. The Fresh Scallop, Bluefin Tuna Belly, and Baby Snapper were pretty good. The Belt Fish and tempura were definite highlights. 🍤 Then there’s their Instagram-famous: Kegani Ankake Hairy Crab. The plating was beautiful, but the texture was sticky and gloopy, and I could barely taste the crab… 😂 Finished it in confusion. Dessert was quite delicate, and the chef prepared matcha by hand. Since we were celebrating an anniversary, they gave us two tea bags—so thoughtful! ❤️ 📍 mori nozomi Still, reservations are hard to get! Tock opens every Sunday at 10 AM for the following week.
