The 25 Best Sushi Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Getting into Sushi Kaneyoshi, easily the most upscale sushi option in Little Tokyo, is a battle. Not only making the reservation but physically entering the premises. You'll have to wander through a hotel lobby, buzz in, and descend a staircase to a dim lair that happens to serve a $300 omakase to 10 people per night. Each meal includes 20 courses of appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri behind an elegant wood sushi counter. Expect to be seated next to serious ballers who don't blink at dropping several hundred on a bottle of sake. Kaneyoshi is tailored towards high-level sushi purists, but your meal will involve some of the most flat-out delicious bites of seafood in LA, like the seared saba handroll or the fatty tuna sprinkled with flaky sea salt "snow." Reservations for the coming month are released on the first on the month at 3pm, and usually disappear in minutes. Bookings tend to be easier at Sawa, their ten-seat cocktail and omakase bar next door." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
