Only 3 Locations Worldwide 🍣 When in LA and Not Sure What to Eat

Restaurant: Udatsu Sushi 🍣 — only three locations globally, the other two are in Tokyo and Hong Kong. We booked the evening omakase — 17 courses in total. Since it was just my friend and me, service was incredibly fast — felt like a private dining experience! 😄 The pacing was smooth and comfortable. Arrive 30 minutes early to enjoy drinks downstairs 🍷, or just come by 6 PM if you're not drinking. 🪷 The attention to detail stood out from the start: chairs pulled out, coats taken, each dish introduced thoughtfully without interrupting the meal. The champagne pairing really brightened up the seafood flavors, and their signature cocktails are also worth trying! 💰 $225 per person, plus $75 for caviar & truffle pairing. 🥢 A few favorites: 1️⃣ Seasonal Vegetable Roll — with okra, alternating temperatures, refreshing and texturally interesting. 2️⃣ Seared Rockfish Nigiri + Truffle Salt — tender yet chewy, clean flavor with a hint of pink on top. 3️⃣ Cod Fish Soup — light, fragrant, melts in your mouth, no fishiness at all. 4️⃣ Three Tuna Nigiri (Lean / Medium / Seared Fatty) Lean: delicate floral notes Medium: slightly tangy with vinegar hints Fatty: lightly seared, rich but not oily 5️⃣ Deep-Fried Ling Cod with Seaweed — crispy outside, tender inside, with lemon and matcha salt — refreshing yet satisfying. 6️⃣ Horse Mackerel + Vinegar Sauce — perfectly balanced sweet vinegar, served with pickled onion and floral accents. 7️⃣ Double Sea Urchin Nigiri + Fried Nori + Caviar — Santa Barbara + Japanese uni, layered over crispy nori — a journey from briny to creamy to sweet. Lately, it’s been relatively easy to book — and it often feels like you have the place to yourself! Valet parking is available at the door. #LosAngeles #LAJapanese #LAOmakase #LAFood #Michelin #LAEats #StudyAbroadDiary
