My first Omakase experience, overall very positive. Chances are, if you're like me and have mostly eaten at the many I will say average for lack of a better word Sushi restaurants all over LA, you probably have never eaten not only the type of fish on offer here but also the quality is on another level.

My wife and I sat in high chairs facing the Sushi chefs and our chef was an older man, extremely nice, I just really wish I could understand him better. Poor guy is wearing a mask the whole time and trying to describe the dish he's serving and with a fairly thick Japanese accent, not his fault of course but it just dampened the experience a bit for me.

My main reason for docking a star (Google by the way doesn't allow for half stars or else I'd give them 4.5 stars) is for me and you might be the same, I can eat a lot of Sushi and these being Sushi not rolls, even after 17 courses, while not hungry, wasn't exact full either. Many of the 17 courses are single piece tastings of a particular fish and average in size.

I would say if you've never had a true Omakase experience before, this would be a great place to come. I appreciate that it's Japanese owned/runned (owner Yasuhisa was there, came out a few times), fish is all imported from Japan and employees are Japanese.

Price also I would say is in line for the quality of product you're getting here. I also had a Sake Pairing that comes with 5 types of Sake, most of which are not available in the US, all very good. Would definitely go back for many of the reasons I gave here, you're likely not going to find the high quality fish in too many places across LA that you'll get here and I've eaten at some of the most popular s Sushi...

The food was good, but it wasn't quite the Omakase experience with $250, including everything. I didn't feel that food was tailored to me. The only question that they asked me was, "Are you allergic to anything?" Everyone in the restaurant was given the exact same food. They were mostly all nigiri sushi except 4. A total of 17 set pieces (course) were offered. When a customer did not want what was offered, rather than tailoring to the customer and asking what they would like, the chef simply skipped it and only gave 16 pieces. If you are short, good luck seating at the chef table. The tall chair is heavy with a very little room to manuever. It's very difficult to pull them out and pull yourself in toward the table. Use the bathroom before you...
