Sushi Kaneyoshi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Master Sushi Chef Yoshi-san has created something special in a competitive LA Omakase realm. That has the potential to Trump all other competitors, but not quite there yet.

Pros: Easy Adjoined Parking structure ($6 cash) 1 dinning session per working day means no waiting and eccentric staff. Corkage option available (BYOB $50 fee) Extremely generous portions.

Cons: Currently $300 per person (tax and gratuity not included) Is only open wed-fri. Reservations are extremely hard to come by.

Ill go over my experience and won't judge the food individually as menus change and of course peoples pallets are different...

The 22 course menu starts off extremely strong. Dare I say, better than any Michelin Star restaurant that I've been to (92 stars and counting).

Unfortunately half way through the experience it's starts dulling out as the Nigiri wasn't as extraordinary as the opening dishes. This may be because they are a bit heavy on the wasabi and often found the fish being overpowered by the root.

Other than that, the experience itself is amazing. Chef Yoshi and his staff are truly delightful. Other omakase experiences should take notes on the hospitality offered here.

This place is semi-new and I can't wait to try it again in the distant future as a few tweaks to their menu and no doubt will this be LA's top...

Good, but honestly not worth the hassle of getting a reservation when you will find an equally satisfactory (or better) experience at 715 Sushi, Ginza, or Morihiro. There was nothing that especially wowed me, though my favorite dishes of the night were the ankimo (monkfish liver) and mackerel handroll.

Unlike the other omakase restaurants I mentioned, Sushi Kaneyoshi did not offer dessert nor the option of adding extra courses at the end of this meal. I was quite disappointed with receiving just tamago at the end and would have ordered extra courses.

The restaurant seats 11 people, which ends up feeling like a less intimate experience than other places that seat far fewer. To be honest, my experience was ruined sitting next to 3 raucous regulars who were friendly with the chef and enjoyed making their conversations and antics known to the...

I remember hearing about Sushi Kaneyoshi after Hayato and Morihiro. After awhile of going to omakase restaurants in LA, you kind of go “oh, how is this one special?” Well, I really loved their Chawamushi and sushi. The cuts were beautiful and the ankimo was game changer. No one does ankimo like Yoshi-San does. My first experience was a quiet one, but the chefs are very nice if you talk to them. They respect if you want quiet and just want to eat, but they also entertain and answer any questions you have. Kaneyoshi is more subtle so at first glance it doesn’t hit you, but when you give it some thought you realize how amazing it was. It feels like hidden gem and I’m glad they got a star this year.

If you’re lucky to grab a seat, go here. Otherwise, it’s ok. Omakase is not the same everywhere, but sushi Kaneyoshi is special and unique and...
