I am doing a sushi extravaganza to celebrate a life event, and wanted to get some thoughts from the sushi experts here. I used to be a big Mori fan–haven’t gone back since he left though. Is it still tops in LA? Is there anywhere else people are loving at the moment in LA proper (no valley) for Omakase?
Lesser QPR, but if you’re feeling flush anyways: Sushi Ginza Onodera (WeHo)
Sushi Zo (DTLA)
Go’s Mart (Canoga Park) Yamakase - Uncle Yama still be crazy in his latest location. (West L.A.)
Urasawa (it’s technically sushi kaiseki, but what the hell…) (Beverly Hills)
But what about…? Hayato ain’t sushi and it ain’t omakase - It’s traditional kaiseki. And damn fine eating, at that. n/naka ain’t omakase either (even though there are a few pieces of nigiri on the tasting menu). But again, a marvelous modernist Californian kaiseki meal awaits.
