We both think this is the best sushi in LA.

NYC closing in August
competition at the very top end is just too fierce in NYC. LA hasn’t quite hit there yet. But might soon ha.
It’s funny the clientele at high end sushi places in LA and NYC. LA is a proliferation of very wealthy Chinese people at top end omakase and NYC is a lot of finance bros. Can’t go to either without being generally surrounded by them.

Who has the big money varies from place to place. When I went to Sushi Yoshizumi most if not all the other customers seemed like Chinese / Chinese-American techie couples.

Was at Sawa friday night with an old coworker. Not that it’s as high end as the others but everyone was a very old chinese man on a date with a very young woman

Dang. You got me food than me. I only got 11 pieces of sushi + one egg when we went end of may
Wasn’t as good as I remember from pre Covid but nostalgia is the most deceitful memory
AFAIR, Yohei-san does offer his customers the option to go into extra rounds after the completion of the formal omakase. Is this maybe what happened here?

That’s too bad. I have many good memories of Sushi Ginza Onodera in NYC. But I guess that’s in part because it was always easy to get reservations there when I was in NYC. The LA branch seems to be doing better.
