Bar Sawa, a hidden gem in Los Angeles, offers an exceptional omakase experience. The intimate bar setting, with seating for about 10-12 people, creates an open kitchen vibe that enhances the overall experience. The staff is described as very nice and attentive, engaging with customers and making the experience enjoyable. The ambience is well-designed, featuring dark lighting and good music, which sets a relaxed mood.
The selection of fish is impressive, with dishes praised for their unique and delicious flavors. Customers highlight the time and dedication put into the preparation of each course, leaving them in awe. The experience includes over 18 courses, with standouts like the uni, squid, yellowtail, tuna, and toro. Many appreciate the optional cocktail pairing, with the yuzu saketini being a standout choice. The cocktail menu is vast, featuring a variety of Japanese whiskeys.
While the experience can be pricey, with the 19-course meal costing around $185 per person plus cocktails, it is seen as a wonderful place to splurge for special celebrations. The cheesecake dessert is also memorable. The restaurant is a little tricky to find, located in the basement of a building, and directions are provided for convenience. Many customers express a desire to return, making it a highly recommended spot for birthdays or anniversaries.
