ni$$$$$$$himura – although presentation was definitely tops, the place is still insanely overpriced for un-spectacular sushi. fresher and better fish can be found elsewhere such as sasabune.

WOW... – was what my friend and I said when we received our tab. Do NOT order omakase unless you are ready to spend $100 a person and have eaten beforehand. Overated and nothing special. You're better off going to Echigo or Sasabune if what you're truly after is the fish but if you want the unnecessary presentation (a flame was lit underneath one of our omakase dishes) and to subsidize Nishimura's rent, then this is your place.

Get a little, pay a lot – Although this place has beautiful ambiance and decor, I do not recommend it. I am a huge sushi lover and this place has good quality fish served very artfully but overall I would have to say that their portions are miniscule and their prices are obscene. You can get amazingly fresh, delicious fish at Sushi Ike or Sushi Sasabune or Sushi Sushi without paying through the nose for decor (or valet...). Avoid this place unless you want to spend a mininum of $200 per couple and still be hungry when you le... read more

Divine – This is the place, my friends. I almost didn't want to post because I don't want people to discover just how fabulous this place is, and then I won't get a seat! When you sit with Hiro, just let him do all the preparations. Sit back and enjoy what he creates. And buy him a glass of sake, he'll appreciate it. It's truly a delightful sushi-eating experience--for both the eyes and tastebuds. It's true what the other reviewer said, don't even bother pouring yourself soy sauce, he seasons all of his creations to perfecti... read more

Best in LA – Best sushi in LA by far. Better than Matsuhisa, better than miyagi's, the Sushi Roku's, Koi, even better than Sushi Sasabune. Hiro Nishimura uses only the best produce he can find and prepares it so you can really taste the freshness and quality of the fish. 90% of the time I don't even use soy sauce as he seasons it for you. Its a bit hard to find and can be on the pricier side but well worth. I try to go at least one a week.
