Mori Nozomi

The Toughest Reservations In LA Right Now (And How To Get Them)

"Verdict: The sushi at this women-led, eight-seat omakase spot in West LA leans traditional and is delicious across the board, albeit on the understated, nuanced side—like listening to a public radio jazz program. At $250 for 18 courses, you’re served a generous amount of sashimi, seared seafood, and nigiri, all of it sourced from Japan and served on gold-lacquered plates. While we might not suggest it as a first stop for the omakase newbie, Mori Nozomi should be on any serious sushi fan's checklist. Reservations for the following month are released on Tock every Sunday at 10am. Book around then and you’ll generally find a slot available, or just keep an eye open for week-of cancellations." - brant cox, sylvio martins
