Food and service were very good. Few misses. The price is okay for a sushi omakase. Dinner was about 2.5 hours long

Truly an unmatched dining experience for us. Everything is worth it. I wish I had remembered that we could bring our own sake/wine for a corkage fee, but the sake we had there was wonderful. It's amazing to see so much of the hard work that goes into the art of making delicious omakase up close, and the chefs make you feel welcome and special from the first moment.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Worth every penny. A bit hard to find but that’s the only knock on what is probably the best sushi in Los Angeles.

Sushi Kaneyoshi exceeded all expectations, redefining the LA omakase scene. Chef Yoshi-san and his team blend precision and creativity, elevating the omakase/kaiseki experience to extraordinary heights. The adventure begins with a cinematic entrance—through a parking garage, down an elevator, to a basement dining room—setting the stage for a memorable night. Each bite bursts with flavor and texture, guiding you on a culinary journey through Japan. We couldn’t have loved it more. Thank you for this gift and memory, Chef. Sushi Kaneyoshi is truly exceptional!

The best sushi you can get in Los Angeles. It can easily hold its own against some of the best places in Japan. I love dining here and if you are fortunate enough to get a reservation I think you will have a great time. The food they make is certainly with a Japanese palette meaning that there are dishes presented here will not be all melt in your mouth fish that most Americans want. There will be a variety of tastes and textures. I love it, but I can see how some people may not love every dish.

I spent 2 months this summer in Japan and tried several of the top omakase and Kaiseki restaurants - Kaneyoshi is truly up there with the top. The subtle creativity of each course is perfectly stimulating, the delicate freshness of ingredients is delightful, and the overall consistency of excellence in every bite is downright inspiring. Think I fell in love with a Kohara fish mid-meal - though of course some of the off-menu gin yuzu highballs may have contributed to this marine romance. Definitely an occasion as the meal could be a pretty penny, but a fine display of how money may actually be able to buy happiness. Gochisousamadeshita!

Deliberately hard to find from the outside, refined Japanese craftsmanship inside, with just enough Los Angeles flair.
Food is superb, and if you can snag a reservation to one of the Kaneyoshi x Inaba collaboration nights, it's even better, if that's believable. The latter are not cheap (paying two chefs, each with their own Michelin star, never is), but it's so good.

So far, this is my other favorite besides Sushi Takeda. It came with so many dishes, and every individual one was detailed and well-made. They only have one session per day, and the setting is very authentic Japanese style. This is the omakase place that I’ll keep coming back to.

"Sushi Kaneyoshi in LA is legit! The omakase is fire ?—fresh fish and flavors that pop. The chefs are chill and know their stuff. It's pricey but worth every penny for the experience. Definitely a must-try for sushi lovers!"

Top quality seafood, amazing craftsmanship, and abundant varieties! My favorites were the oyster and monkfish liver!
Fantastic service and atmosphere! The seafood was so fresh and tasty. This omakase was crafted with a unique depth of flavors and texture!

Least favorite omakase we’ve had. The textures were not doing it for me, esp one dish made me feel sick (crunchy raw seafood anyone?). Very limited raw seafood options. Getting to this place through a parking lot wasn’t great as well. The amount that was paid for it (almost 1k for 2ppl) left us feeling literally robbed.

Got back from Japan a month before this meal. This is as authentic as it comes. Nine total people get a reservation each night. All reservations are for 7 pm and clients are expected to announce their arrival at 645.The restaurant looks and feels like similar places in Tokyo. The chef and his five assistants and co-chefs create a dinner made for their nine new “friends”. About 50% of the 20 very small dishes were either sushi or sashimi. Each dish was impeccable. Service was also perfect.This is an experience. Not cheap but an experience. Even in Japan, there aren’t many places like this.

I remember hearing about Sushi Kaneyoshi after Hayato and Morihiro. After awhile of going to omakase restaurants in LA, you kind of go “oh, how is this one special?” Well, I really loved their Chawamushi and sushi. The cuts were beautiful and the ankimo was game changer. No one does ankimo like Yoshi-San does. My first experience was a quiet one, but the chefs are very nice if you talk to them. They respect if you want quiet and just want to eat, but they also entertain and answer any questions you have. Kaneyoshi is more subtle so at first glance it doesn’t hit you, but when you give it some thought you realize how amazing it was. It feels like hidden gem and I’m glad they got a star this year.If you’re lucky to grab a seat, go here. Otherwise, it’s ok. Omakase is not the same everywhere, but sushi Kaneyoshi is special and unique and worth a try.
