I've never had an experience quite like this one. Very intimate and the chef and server were both very kind and attentive. The sushi was great, especially the toro, the best preparation I've ever had. On that note, many of the preparations for the sushi were very unique and satisfying.
Some reviews are bad on here, obviously reviews are subjective so I wouldn't let one person's opinion stop you from going here. I didn't and I'm so glad I went!

Mind blowing omakase experience. We had the entire place to us and it was one of the most intimate and extraordinary taste experiences ever

I wish I had read more bad reviews on this place, so I did not choose this restaurant. I am a foodie I've tried restaurants worldwide, high-end and low-end, the spectrum. Particularly Japanese restaurants, so I have a lot of comparisons making my review. Walking into the place itself felt very cold and empty, the lights were way too bright, and it hurt both my and my company's eyes. The service of the chef was so slow, and it was only five people in the restaurant, including ourselves. When it is slow, it messes up the temperature of the fish; it was warm and a bit off-putting. The waitress was fine in her service. The bill came, and regardless of the money being overpriced, it was not worth going already. We were all super upset.

Iāve eaten a lot of sushi in my life and Masakazu is easily one of my favorites. The flavors are complex, the music is just right, and the service is fantastic. Chef really is a visionary, no visit is the same and every visit is a culinary journey. Sometimes the chef takes risks with bold and complex flavors, but be still manages to make them accessible. Masakazu manages to be both modern but definitively Japanese. Thatās not a balance thatās easy to strike. I couldnāt possibly recommend it more. (For those who have access to chase dining - you can have this wonderful experience for significantly less by booking through the Chase app so a double win)
I've had 100+ omakase across the world and this one would be ranked at the bottom. Many sushi pieces fell apart before even putting on the board. Fish quality is pretty bad. Service is mediocre at best. Would not repeat.

Chef Shin delivers an exceptional and authentic omakase. He also succeeds in creating flavor profiles that are unique and differentiated from the sea of sameness that you experience at most sushi restaurants while retaining the core essence of sushi. All of his dishes are delicious and hit home in surprising ways. On top of that, his prices are very reasonable for such high quality.Last night was the second time I visited his restaurant, and it was just as consistent and delicious as the last time I went 5 years ago. Just make sure you make your reservation in advance, as I donāt think they do walk-ins.ē¾å³ć!!!

Leaving another review because yet again, this business refuses to answer any of my calls nor emails. Every time I call, they will either not answer or when I get to speak to someone they will hang up. Iāve continuously sent emails which still has not been answered. They continue to refuse to acknowledge my review. They are trying to get away with stealing my hard earned money. Hopefully once we go to court justice will be served.
Best restaurant in LA, and i never leave reciews!
