SUSHI MIYAGI Los Angeles

An all-around outstanding dining experience!

The best omakase experience we’ve ever had so far! We were so impressed by the creativity of each dish. Every sushi was so well seasoned and each of them had such unique flavor and texture. The chef Shin introduced each type of fish to us with stories and pictures, making the whole experience even more special.

Thank you Sushi Miyagi for such a great meal and for hosting us with such great hospitality and friendliness. We will definitely come back!

Amazing place! Chef, food, atmosphere!

Chef Shin and his wife are phenomenal hosts. The full omakase is unique and beautifully presented by the chef. Furthermore, Shin does his best to impress every customer, while describing the dish and even showing pictures of the fish prior to preparing. The omakase fee is extremely competitive and the saki list is top notch. All items are seasonal and well chosen by the chef. You will probably taste some seafood that you have never tasted before. Please try Sushi Miyagi, and I guarantee that you will be booking another reservation right after you leave.

Our favorite Omakase. You will not only try sushi that you've probably never had, but you will also learn about the fish and Chef Shin and his wife Minh always make for a fantastic dining experience. We are so lucky to have Sushi Miyagi on the westside. If you love Edomae sushi, this is a meal not to be missed!

Chef Miyagi never fails to impress us with his creativity and high quality omakase. The food, ambience, service and hospitality is always perfect. Can't wait to go back soon! Thank you Sushi Miyagi!

My favorite in Los Angeles. Food is great. The couple that own and run this are great hosts. Place is small and intimate so you will be sitting next to other people but that has also been enjoyable for us. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

I have eaten at this restaurant several times, and I have never been disappointed. Chef and his wife are welcoming and very professional (even when other guests have had too much to drink). Chef Shin is a master of his craft, and it shows in each dish. Every single dish is unique, full of flavor, and presentable. The chef changes the menu all the time based on what ingredients are available. I always look forward to going back for a delicious meal and a wonderful experience.

Chef Shin and Miho create a magical experience every time. It is our favorite sushi spot in LA. If you are looking for amazing fish, a fun experience, and excellent service, I recommend Sushi Miyagi. You won't be disappointed.

So, here's the scoop on my recent dining escapade this omakase. I dropped a grand for two premium omakase courses and a $150 bottle of sake. Sounds fancy, right? Well, hold onto your chopsticks.

First off, let's talk sushi chef hygiene. Now, I get it, latex gloves are all about cleanliness, but call me old school--I prefer seeing bare hands at work. What really got me though, was seeing the chef handle his phone with those gloves on. It's a no-brainer--food prep and phones don't mix. He kept on going to his phone to show us the fish we were eating, I expect those to be written up and I want my raw fish to not have his phone germs. This was a major red flag from the beginning.

Now, onto the language issue with the chef. Look, I'm not expecting Shakespeare-level eloquence, but when your sushi chef's English is so horrible, and his accent is thicker than a miso soup. It affects the whole experience. The explanation was so bad that I was guessing the fish every dish. AndI didn't win any prizes.

Other than the phone being a huge red flag, Let's just say the kitchen could've used a spruce-up. For the big bucks I shelled out, I expected a spotless setup.

On to the food. The high end dishes were good but 3-4 of the dishes were bland with no flavor. One dish both of us actually couldnt finish after the first bite.

Props to our server, though. I'm pretty sure she's the chef's better half, and her service was top-notch. But here's the kicker--they slipped in a 20% tip without asking. Come on, folks, let me decide how much to tip.

In short I won't be returning and I regret coming here to spend $1000 on my wife's birthday to have such a poor experience

If you think places like sushi note omakase is good, this small intimate restaurant blows it away. Yes it is expensive, but the quality of the fish, the rice and the service is fantastic. Not for sushi novices.

I go here often, and the quality of the servers is amazing. It's a sushi restaurant with a Japanese feel that not only tastes good, but also has courteous hospitality that makes you want to come back and introduce it to others.

This was beyond fabulous. One of the best omakase's I've ever had with delicate attention to detail by the chef and warm, welcoming service throughout the evening. Five Stars plus!

Sushi Miyagi was the most intimate and pleasant omakase dining experience my husband and I have ever had. The sushi chef is classically trained from Osaka and the kind, attentive host is his wife. It is a family-owned restaurant and the entire time we were there, it was just the two of them. Being that there were no other guests at the time we dined, it allowed us to get to know the family as the wonderful individuals they are. The food was unique and absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed some of the best sake I ever had the pleasure of trying, outside of Japan. I definitely recommend making a reservation to be taken on a journey, tasting a series of delicious dishes through this authentic omakase experience.

Impeccable food and service. The chef/owner and his wife provided 2-1/2 hours of an exceptional experience watching the omakase dinner unfold. It was worth every penny. Food was fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant.
