Omakase sushi with evolving menu & inventive dishes
"This omakase-only spot in the Arts District will cost you $350 per person (before tax and tip), which is a financial undertaking for just about anyone. But if you’re in the market for a splurgy evening (or celebrating a Powerball win), 715 Sushi is an exciting place to do it. For starters, the sushi is exceptional. Expect about ten meticulously assembled pieces of nigiri and ten small plates ranging from belt fish tempura to surf clams in a creamy miso sauce. Run by a young chef from Osaka, we appreciate that an upbeat meal at 715 feels less like you’re at a stern omakase temple and more like hanging out with a group of friends who happen to have a stunning sushi bar in their apartment." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"The entrance is so understated you might walk past it, which is kind of the point. Inside, it's all clean lines and natural materials, the type of space that immediately puts you in a contemplative mood. And with only eight seats at the counter, this is an intimate experience where the food takes center stage. The experience might be entirely unique each time you go, but expect somewhere around 22 dishes, some hot and others cold, plus soup, outstanding nigiri, and a handful of desserts. The flavors are clean and the technique impeccable. The sake list is impressive so don’t pretend you know it all and simply let them guide you through prefectures and styles you've never tried. You're coming for an education in omakase, with expert execution, flawless presentation, and a price point to match." - Celeste Moure
"One star. This high-priced and intricate omakase experience in the Arts District first earned a one-star rating when it was less than three months old. Chef Seigo Tamaru, who hails from Osaka, puts his own flair on fresh fish and seasoned rice." - Eater Staff
"Originally from Osaka Prefecture, Chef Seigo Tamura came to the United States with dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. Thankfully for Los Angeles, the only points he's scoring are with diners. The eight-seat counter is wonderfully spacious, and chef mostly keeps to himself as he blends the traditional with the inventive. This is in part evidenced by the surprising number of cooked dishes deployed throughout the meal. All of the seafood comes from Japan, and larger fish like tuna are aged in-house. Rice for the nigiri is on the firmer side with a touch of sugar added as a nod to his Osaka roots. Japanese hospitality reigns, with staff welcoming diners outside, and the chef seeing guests off personally at the conclusion of the meal." - Michelin Inspector
"This omakase-only spot in the Arts District is $350 per person (before tax and tip), but if you’re in the market for a splurge-y meal or celebrating a Powerball win, 715 Sushi is an exciting place to do it. The exceptional seafood featured in the omakase changes almost daily, but you can generally expect about ten meticulously built pieces of nigiri and ten small plates like belt fish tempura or surf clams in a creamy miso. There’s a youthful exuberance at 715 that makes a night here feel less like you’re a hushed sushi temple and more like hanging out with a group of friends who opened a sushi bar in their cool apartment." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
