Straightforward attentive service and quality food and over all experience. We wanted to order sushi but it wasn't allowed that night (Valentine's) because of strict reservations and how busy it was which is understandable.

This was our third time dining at Eigikutei and we were just as pleased this time as we were with our maiden experience. We were favored with our personal favorite of the sushi kaiseki Yawaragi (10-piece sushi). All the separate elements of the course melded perfectly for our palette. The service was attentive and on que with our pacing of eating. And the ambience was quiet serenity. We highly recommend dining at Eigikutei for any fine dining connoisseur!

Quite a nice experience at lunch there. Little Tkoyo has the most authentic Japanese food in the LADT area, so all the food there is great. Definitely should try.

Food came extremely slow, it took 30mins for them come out with the first dish, then another 30mins for the second dish. Overall would not recommend unless you want to wait 2hrs for food.

I was super excited to snag a reservation for the lunch omakase— which I thought was a great dinela deal for $55! However i was so surprised when it was not served one by one and instead all on one plate (totally fine if they marketed it as a sushi platter). The items themselves were quite basic and I thought the quality was mediocre. But my biggest complaint is somehow the fish was lukewarm ?? We were on the late end of lunch at 1.30pm so it felt like maybe they batch made the sushi and brought it out. Apparently you have to request the bar seating to get it served proper omakase style. The appetizers were lovely and delicate though Waitress was lovely and ambiance was great.

This was my third time dine here. The food is always top-notch and high quality, authentic with very reasonable prices. I believe the sushi chef, Minoru, was the head chef at a previous sushi restaurant, and his sushi is consistently amazing. I’ve been here twice for business dinners, and the atmosphere is spacious and clean, making it suitable for both family dining and business occasions. Highly recommended.

Good high quality sashimi and sushi. Got the Omakase Sushi Kaiseki Yawaragi - plenty of food. They were accommodating to Gluten Free which was great.

A hidden gem in plain sight. It reminds me of the places i went to in Japan, like in Hakone. Lots of courses, excellent appetizers to cooked dishes to sashimi to sushi. Frankly I don't get the fuss about most of the sushi only omakase places. The great ones are amazing with high prices to match, but so many are just okay. Here, the mid-priced sushi kaiseki course gets you everything you want and more for $160, an absolute steal in today's high-end sushi market. Want to add Hokkaido king crab shabu-shabu? Its just another $30. Very good and reasonably priced sake as well. Get seats at the sushi bar (unless you are doing shabu-shabu or sukiyaki). The owner specifically set out to make his prices reasonable. Sure you will get lots of great sushi@ herei, but break out of that sushi-only mindset. Real Japanese eat like this.
Amazing find, theit sushi kaiseki is the best and the middle set at $160 is one of the best values in town. Reminds me of places we went to in Japan. Sit at the bar and get an authentic omskasa experience for way less than comparable restaurants.

We had omakase sushi for 3 at lunch at the counter. The sushi was excellent and the chef and staff were very kind and solicitous. It was a nice quiet lunch after visiting the Geffen Contemporary Museum. A somewhat hidden jewel.

We came here for our anniversary and had an absolutely perfect tonight! The staff was wonderful, very friendly, and the restaurant is new and beautiful. We got the Shabu Shabu and sushi combination and every single dish they brought was fantastic. We just got back from Japan a month ago and were missing it, and this entire experience was so authentically Japanese and the quality was absolutely five stars! Highly recommend and they have a ton of menu options for vegan, no fish, etc. The cocktails and dessert were great too! We will be back!

I had an amazing experience here! The food was incredible, every course was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the calm, relaxing ambiance made the whole evening feel special. Definitely a place I'd love to come back to!
