Te Isshoku Sushi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Let's be honest. When you hear that a bento costs $40, can you resist feeling skeptical? It's unlikely. Even for someone like me, born and raised in Japan, such an expensive bento is quite unheard of.

However, this time, fueled by my husband's remarkable curiosity, we ventured to try this American-style sashimi bento.

Having sampled Japanese cuisine all over the United States, the experience at Te Isshoki became one of the highlights of Japanese food in America. Beautiful people, beautiful food!

The exquisite Sashimi Bento provided a dining experience reminiscent of a Michelin-starred establishment. The impeccable presentation and quality of the dishes made a lasting impression, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit to relish these exquisite flavors once more.

I highly recommend the tuna bento; although my husband isn't typically a fan of tuna in the US, he changed his mind after trying mine and declared that he will choose tuna over salmon next time!

The setting, the food, the people - everything was beautifully brought together, creating a memorable dining experience that transcended mere food...

Haven’t had this quality of fatty tuna like this since I was in Japan at a tuna festival. Dining room is next door in the bank building which is nice and beautiful but a bit stiff. But for the quality of food and the price this place is my...

It appears that I have stumbled upon LA's greatest hidden gem. Chef Te delivers on the ultimate promise of fine dining at a shockingly affordable price point. Fresh, seasonal fish and accompaniments compose Chef's signature bento boxes, having immense variety and unmatched quality. This is some of the greatest fish I have ever consumed and it is available nearly at-cost thanks to Chef's dedication and low overhead. Having recently expanded hours to dinner service, the market has not yet caught up. I attended twice and was able to be served with no wait and had some delightful conversation with the Chef about his experience. If you are reading this and the review is at all recent, go immediately. You will...
