“The sushi here is amazing for the price!! And the katsu chicken was also so delicious !! I would suggest checking out yama!! The reason why I gave it a 4 stars and not a 5 star is because the space is super small, and it does get overwhelming! I had a rude experience with a customer, they don’t know how to say excuse me lol. (I got the Cali roll with the salmon avocado roll!) I also asked for eel sauce:)!!”

The karage was unique and had a delectable sauce. For dessert, we had the matcha pudding, which had a great texture and good flavoring. I would definitely return!”

“Jade is genuinely one of the best spots in Beverly Hills. Christian and Corinne are two of the most amazing people, and the way they went above and beyond for my birthday made me feel like an actual celebrity. The bubbles, the hospitality, the entire experience was unreal. The staff is incredible, the bartender is amazing, the ambience is beautiful, and don’t even get me started on the corn cheese. I don’t even eat sushi or fish, but that corn cheese is SO good it’s worth coming just for that alone. Everything about this place is a 10/10. Christian and Corinne deserve all the success in the world, and honestly, this place should be packed to the brim every single night. If you’re in Beverly Hills, GO. ❤”

“it's a little piece of japan; very much a neighborhood izakaya, with a wrap around bar intended to induce friendly interactions with other customers. I had the mille fieuille tonkatsu w/ cheese ala carte, tako wasabi, hotate, ikura and an order of tataki kyuri. Unfortunately, they were out of california uni on this visit so I subbed in the ikura. I had to ask for an extra leaf of shiso to accompany the tako wasabi, which only came with what seemed like a quarter leaf at the bottom of the bowl. I assume most people don't understand it's an essential part of the dish and waste it, so they don't give out much. However, they gladly gave me extra, which ended up being more than i needed. the dish itself was delish. The hotate also was perfect - It was melt in your mouth tender with a hint of konbu and I loved it. The mille fieuille tonkatsu was very, very good. Tender, juicy, and embued with melted, stringy cheese, it was the perfect kind of savory, especially with the housemade mustard served on the side. The crust stayed crisp despite it's delicate crunch, and the accompanying homemade takuan was also perhaps the best I've ever had. I have a feeling that people that rate this tonkatsu as run of the mill are not ordering the mille fieuille and instead are ordering the cutlets/loins. Even so, the breading and fry is still topnotch, so I don't know what they're complaining about. I finished with the tataki kyuri, which was perfectly seasoned with a light shoyu and bonito flakes. It reminded my of summers as a child with Dad's cukes straight from the garden. They also had my favorite bar sake, otokoyama tokubetsu (which pairs with everything and anything without costing an arm and a leg) and in my world that counts for a lot. In Japan right now, the whole meal probably would only cost $30 (not including the airfare), but I spent $100 including the bottle of sake and a healthy tip. That's not the restaurant's fault, though. That's today's USA. If you want to pay and (not) tip like you're in Japan (as suggested by a past review), I suggest you get a flight out - LAX is right there. To some of the other past reviewers: I feel like people always expect all restaurants to do everything well, when in reality, most restaurants have one or two specialties, and then they serve other stuff just so you don't complain they don't have what you think is this particular ethnicity's food. This place is an izakaya, with a specialty in katsu, specifically the mille fieuille tonkatsu. That's what you go there for. If other things are also good, that's a bonus. If you're rating them based on their soba, their salad, or their miso soup, you've missed the point. As far as service goes, it wasn't terribly busy early on thursday evening, and I felt they were extremely attentive and took care of me very well. Of course I didn't insist on sitting at a reserved table either. As for me, I'm looking forward to my next visit when I can bring friends and try even more food. For everyone else that doesn't have the time or money to fly to Japan right now, I highly recommend Kagura El Segundo for the feel of a real izakaya. Bring friends, make new friends, and get the mille fieuille tonkatsu!”

“Chinchikurin was my first ever Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. I've had the Osaka version in Japan many years ago, but haven't had okonomiyaki of any kind in the US since. So this experience was definitely fun. The food was very tasty and well built. I ordered the Loaded Kaisen, which was the seafood okonomiyaki as part of the 11-layer savory pancake. It was very filling. After the cooks make the okonomiyaki at the main teppan grill, you eat it at your own personal grill at your table, which keeps your order nice and warm. Be sure to put a lot of the mayo and otafuku sauce atop it to make the flavor even bolder and more exciting. If you've never had okonomiyaki before, Chinchikurin is a great place to start. There are very few of these kinds of restaurants in LA, so Chinchikurin is a very unique Japanese cuisine in Little Tokyo worth scoping out. I did a YouTube video of my eating adventures here, which can be found on my channel called Rockstar Eater”

“Masa-san serves chef's choice, and the food is fresh and delicious. Eating here is an extremely delightful experience. The sweet shrimp with eggs is one of my favorites. Always finish your meal with at least 1 (maybe 2 or ...) of his blue crab rolls. The crab is carefully hand-pulled, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is crisp. You won't find that combination of quality and easy dining experience anywhere else in the Valley. Please try it!”

Soothing yet lively atmosphere, large fish pieces that are incredibly fresh and delicious, and friendly staff. Come early - sometimes there’s a line!

“Came here for valentines with my boyfriend and we made a reservation in advance. There’s some parking available in their lot but it can be crowded, so we opted for street parking. We ordered the garlic noodles, fried rice (which was my mom’s recommendation), and two cuts of meat. We left satisfied but not overly stuffed. The waiter was nice and though it did get a little smoky at times, it was a nice vibe. The fried garlic noodles had a great texture and the fried rice had an umami taste. The meat was tender and you cook it yourself. They have an omakase option if you’re looking to be more structured.”
