Sushi Kaneyoshi

Don’t come here for the Inaba x Kaneyoshi collab! It was disappointing to say the least. The rice in the nigiri was too hot and the flavors on the fish were too overwhelming on 2 of the courses. One had too much jalapeño that you couldn’t even taste the fish nor the nigiri that came after it. I’ve been to Kaneyoshi for their non-collab omakase and it was much better.

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!

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.

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.

Good, but honestly not worth the hassle of getting a reservation when you will find an equally satisfactory (or better) experience at 715 Sushi, Ginza, or Morihiro. There was nothing that especially wowed me, though my favorite dishes of the night were the ankimo (monkfish liver) and mackerel handroll. Unlike the other omakase restaurants I mentioned, Sushi Kaneyoshi did not offer dessert nor the option of adding extra courses at the end of this meal. I was quite disappointed with receiving just tamago at the end and would have ordered extra courses. The restaurant seats 11 people, which ends up feeling like a less intimate experience than other places that seat far fewer. To be honest, my experience was ruined sitting next to 3 raucous regulars who were friendly with the chef and enjoye
