Best Japanese Cuisine in LA This is my favorite restaurant. The food in incredible. The atmosphere is not pretentious. Nobu Matsuhisa is always dependable, no matter which of the world-wide restaurants you go to.

Above average sushi, To die for desserts – My husband and I walked in one night as we were passing by and were seated right away. The staff and chefs were extremely friendly. The service was excellent. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The rice was exceptionally tasty. The desserts menu is incredible (we had the Bento Box chocolate lava cake and the green tea ice cream). The atmosphere was nice but the inside of the restaurant definitely needs renovation. We just had 3 sushi rolls, a couple of pieces of tempura and dessert ... read more

so-so – For an omakase experience, one is much better off at SASABUNE, WA or NISHIMURA. We each ordered the $90 omakase for a Friday lunch. It was decent, but nothing stood out. Really the Nobu signature hot sake was perhaps the only thing worth mentioning. On the food: the toro concoction was trying too hard and the flavour just got lost. The oyster katsu was pleasant enough. Desert was tasty, but that?s not a course I care much about. Generally, as others have commented, hot dishes tend to be a bit better, but all of it fo... read more

Tasty food, great service, good atmosphere – I had a wonderful experience dining at Matsuhisa. Nobu was greeting all his guests (all of which were incredibly attractive), and dining across from Mark Wahlberg certainly didn't hurt. Service is attentive and timely and the food delicious and fresh. Try the sashimi salad as a started...yum!

Best Sushi I've ever had! – My Dad and I came here ravenous out of our minds around 9:30 pm. We had been on a plane and moving into my new apartment all day. We called about an hour ahead and got an appointment (on a Wednesday night). We walked right in and sat at the sushi bar. It was a bit crowded and the tables were uncomfortably close together, but nonetheless, cozy. It was a bit loud, but the people-watching made up for it. The chairs at the sushi bar were a little close together, but most, if not all, sushi bars are li... read more

unique and perfect – This is where an amazing blend of fusion seafood began. It is fabulous and is propelled by the energies of a chef, that if we were the country of France would be an American treasure. He creates flavors that are extraordinary. Omakase always delivers and the arrangement of hot and cold is pleasurable eating at its best. How many places do you go to where the entire party wants to go back for more the next night? Thanks for sharing your secrets through excellent reproducible cook books.

Top of the line – Phenomenal! You don't go to Nobu for Sushi. You don't go to Matsuhisa for sushi. If you do, you'll be disappointed. Hence the poor reviews. And it's their own fault. Everyone should know this by now. Stick to the other selections, and you'll have an amazing night.

worm on my plate! – I went to Matsuhisa for a business lunch today and was pretty happy with the food until I found a little live pink worm slithering around on my plate. We quickly complained and the staff was apologetic and comped our entire meal, but that doesn' t really change the fact that a parasite was crawling through my food. I understand that this can happen at any sushi place, but for the amount of money you pay to eat at Matsuhisa, you'd at least expect your plate to be clean and your food to be free of worms.

For the westernized taste – Ok, I've been back to this place several times. It's usually because someone wants to try it and he or she doesn't want to take my word for it that it's just alright. Food is mostly fushion style with cooked items that taste good. Omakase is not bad but not worth the money. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind plucking down 3 bills per person if food is worth it. But if I pay $600 for two people, I should be getting some kick-ass fish like live amaebi, otoro, caviar (not the California sturgeon), etc.... read more
