“Nozawa Bar was a great experience and we left very very very full. We booked a month ahead by phone and paid upfront. It's about $225 per person, and with drinks and tax, the bill totaled around $600. There were around 22 courses including dessert. The dishes were incredibly fresh and tasty. The most memorable courses were the Hokkaido Octopus, New Zeland Pink Lobster, Bluefin Tuna Akami, Santa Barbara Uni, Japanese Kinmedai, and the 3 different type of oysters (Kumiai, Kumamoto, Kusshi). There were however a few courses towards the end of the whole dinner that felt like filler pieces such as the Tamago, Maine Lobster, and Japanese Anago (sea eel) nigiri. I could have gone without those courses and felt the menu was a little overpacked. At then end, they gave us a passion fruit sorbet and hojicha tea which was the perfect way to end the dinner. Chef Fujita, his sous chefs, and the staff were very kind and lively. Dinner was very interactive because Chef Fujita made a lot of jokes and interacted with everyone. Dinner setting is also intimate as it is only 10 seats. Overall, great experience and would definitely come back!“
“I tried the ribs and they were exceptional, the cole slaw and fries were very tasty, the price is high but it is normal for BH. The recommended wine was not the right one, and the cost is high per bottle, but again, typical for LA in general. The atmosphere and the place are good, the service too, you usually have to wait in line, from what we saw there is always a waiting list. Totally recommended.“
“Yusuke, Tyler, and Teppei San are a warm trio that serves up a delightful dinner. Yusuke has been serving and creating his delicious dishes for years for our family. Great for a special occasion or just a splurge on a good meal supporting a local business.“
“Will I return: Yes, definitely ?The 'Trust Me' sushi omakase @US$30 was excellent value for money. Overall very good sushi and handrolls. Winner was the warm toro (fatty tuna belly) handroll. Melt in the mouth goodness with a crunch from the crispy seaweed. The umami goodness explodes in your mouth! The tuna sashimi in ponzu sauce was a close second.Unfiltered sake Nigori @US$12 was great value too. If you like sweeter sakes, pick the unfiltered ones.Service is prompt and attentive.Note: 16% service fee is included in the final bill.“
“Quite possibly the best sushi place I've eaten at anywhere in the world, including multiple Nobu restaurants and a few very highly priced and exclusive Tokyo sushi places. I have no idea what their secret is, but everything they serve is world class. Even their miso soup, edamame, and green tea ice-cream send one's palate into raptures of ecstasy! I've taken, and recommended, this well hidden gem to dozens of people. Almost without exception, they have raved about it and become regulars. It's fun to see the animated enthusiasm even among reserved, non-expressive introverts or those with exceptionally high standards who know what outstanding sushi is all about. Fingers crossed that reviews like this don't prevent me from getting future reservations at my absolute favourite sushi restaurant on the planet!“
“I own a Pilates studio down the street on Robertson (Pilates Body Beverly Hills) and I have been in for sushi here several times. It is very cute and is a great local sushi spot. Everything I have had here is always delicious and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Sometimes I go here after work with my clients and friends and we all love it. It is nice to sit at the sushi bar too and watch them prepare the sushi. I wish they would bring back their happy hour menu though, because that was always a fun place to go for their happy hour and the prices were very reasonable. Overall great spot, and I definitely recommend!“

“Good quality sushi. Very professional and friendly staff. After a few visits they remembered me and I was treated as a valued customer. Now that’s service! 10/10. Need I say more??Vegetarian options: As a vegan they looked after me and helped me find what suited my diet.“
“This restaurant is great if you like take out sushi. They used to have a sit down restaurant years ago but has relocated to a pick up only. Sushi rolls are large and justifies the price. It's very tasty and quality is up there. I like how consistent they are. I never had one bad order come from them. You can tell if you're getting questionable fish by the smell of the restaurant and this place never smells bad. I.e. fish that's close to spoiling has this distinct smell. The only downside is that the folks running the place are a bit older so on a busy Friday/Saturday night the order can take a half hour or more. Their website needs a refresh but I uploaded some photos of their menu.“
“Was going with my sister to her appointment at a near by office. She was hungry and wanted something light to eat, so sushi seemed like the perfect choice. Being our first time, we didn’t know there were no menus and it was the chef’s selection. I don’t this guy, we were walking out the door and almost left, BUT, so glad we didn’t because it was amazing! Incredibly unique and delicious food, along with an entertaining education while enjoying our meal. The owners a good guy who takes a tremendous amount of pride in what he prepares for his guests. You’ll love it!“
