Hilo sushi Omakase

Chef Hilo has created a multi sensory omakase experience that blew away our expectations. We went for my partner’s birthday and did Omakase A, and as people who don’t usually spend a ton of money on restaurants this was worth the splurge for the special occasion. The matching of the background orchestral music to the different courses, the amazing flavors in each serving, the visual atmosphere itself, even the water was surprisingly an elite water (who knew that was possible), and of course Chef Hilo himself and his stories and information sharing, it all came together for a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this gem to anyone.

The most delicious, tasteful sushi! The experience, the service, everything was incredible. The chef explained every plate he served. Where the fish came from. Great vibe and is super casual. I can't wait to go back.

Well... i visit this place a week ago and had terrible experience.. First of all, lets talk about the foods.. Some of sushi are okay(not meaning good. Just okay) and most of sushi has weird smell ( I love sushi so i knew that sushi was really bad) DO NOT EXPECT GOOD QUALITY OF SUSHI AT THIS PLACE. Second problem is their service. Japanese cheif was really rude and impolite. When we asked for warm water, he frowned and became annoyed. We just asked for a glass of warm water. Third problem is price. With terrible service and these low quality food is not worth this price. If you want waste time and money, this is best place.

I recently had an amazing and unique lunch experience with Chef Hilo. He puts such delicate care and thought into each and every dish. The flavors are unlike any other sushi restaurants I’ve been to. This is unlike your normal sushi restaurants that just churn out many of the same recipes/dishes. The sauces are all made in house and using only high-quality ingredients starting from the fish. The variety of fish was also amazing…he served Wild Faro Island salmon, ocean trout, Hawaiian amberjack belly, pink snapper, Italian blue fin toro, East coast halibut, Albacore from Fiji, king snapper, long fin tuna from Maui and the most delicious uni from Santa Cruz. From my understanding on talking with Hilo, you’ll rarely get the same set of sushi each visit. He's constantly creating. This place is truly a hidden gem!

A must-go omakase experience in LA! I’ve been here a few times and the menu has always changed to incorporate interesting new ingredients and dishes. I’ve had fish and ingredients here I have not had anywhere else - Chef Hilo does a lot of selective sourcing around the world and it’s a lot of fun hearing him explain where everything comes from! It is all delicious and fresh. I highly recommend.

When it comes to Omakase, Hilo stole my heart today. I’ve indulged and have had some of the best Sushi Los Angeles has to-offer both Omakase and À la cart. But Chef Hilo took it to the next level with his artistic touch and flavors that can only be described by the experience itself. The Japanese Red Snapper, trio Oysters, Hawaiian Kahala and pretty much everything he served still has me wanting more! Even offering Sapporo on draft!!

The term “expert” is earned, and Hilo has definitely earned it. From homemade soy sauce to globally-sourced fish, Hilo’s Omakase is perhaps the best around. You’ll have cuts of fish you’ve never seen as sashimi, with unique garnishes for each. You won’t find a California roll here, nor will you be served yesterday’s fish; it’s fresh and authentic all the way. After a short interview of your likes and dislikes, Hilo will present you a custom Omakase until you’re 100% full and satisfied. If you consider yourself a sushi connoisseur, or want to be introduced to a wider range of sushi, or have specific food allergies that make other sushi dinners challenging, Hilo is your man!

Best Omakase I have ever had I HIGHLY recommend here if you want the BEST of the BEST BC

Cozy and quaint spot. Came for omakase dinner. Really great selection of alcohol, and chef knows his alcohol. He had this bottle of Chablis that's now my fav new white wine. He also serves bottled water from France that I really enjoyed. A lot of reviews complained about the chef's personality, but I found him hilarious and personable, with really great stories. He was playing a lot of 80s/90s soft rock, which was a fun vibe. All of the fish was really fresh and he uses a special rice from Japan that a very limited quantity is exported. It was really great rice - more chewy and slightly al dente but still sticky. Can't wait to come back for more.

While I did respect the deftness and expertise of Chef Hilo, it was difficult to enjoy the meal as it was served. Most Omakase is offered graciously not gruffly by an arrogant and grouchy sushi chef. We were the only ones at the sushi bar and were treated as interlopers whom he deigned to serve. He rushed through the descriptions of each piece and was sorely affronted when I dared to ask him about one of the few standouts. The quality of the sushi was good but not overwhelmingly so. My lack of enthusiasm might be attributed to the fact that most of the pieces were paper thin which made it difficult to actually savor the sushi and his surliness affected my digestion. The interaction of the sweet woman assisting him was appreciated.

Chef Hilo provides a unique omakase experience and really stands out from the many, many "elevated" omakase options in LA. I really think Hilo Beverly Hills might be one my favorites and it has as much do with Chef Hilo as it does with his dishes. The whole experience is intimate and really interactive (in a good way) and really do feel like you're dining at his dinner table. He really has some great stories and is his charm is as much a part of the dinner as the food! We went on Saturday for the 6:00 pm omakase seating. So there are 2 omakase options available (A or B) but I would just go ahead and pay a little more to go with B when you book online so that you don't miss out on any of the dishes. There was a couple next to us that went with omakase A and after the whole experience, I think that we definitely made the right decision with omakase B. Omakase B is a little longer and it included what were some of my favorite dishes of the night. Overall the dishes were all amazing and there was really good variety. Chef Hilo really does a spectacular job with umami flavors and also utilizes a really delicious soy sauce very well in a lot of the dishes. You'll also have a chance to try the the special premium rice in some of the sushi dishes. There is real pride of ownership at Hilo Beverly Hills and Chef Hilo really does a spectacular job with his dishes which are infused with his charisma! The whole experience is about 2 hours and I promise that you will leave feeling full and amazed! Thanks Chef Hilo for the amazing dinner!

My friends and I were excited to try Hilo Sushi Omasake, but after experiencing the premium omasake course, I would tell everyone to stay far away from Hilo and Chef Hilo. Parking was relatively simple; street parking was not hard to find. The establishment is very small, about 4 tables inside and then about 12 bar seating. Upon arrival we were greeted by staff and low lighting, our table was ready. The sushi was by far and large either comparable to best available on Uber Eats or just low quality. My friends said the Lobster was dry and tasted old. The Fish broth was horrible. The monk liver was not edible, and neither was the abalone. Course after course we were faced with either just passable and mildly disappointing sushi (given the price point) or sushi that was not edible or bad. But we were having a good time and vibing to the great company, sake and music. This is not me and my friends' first omasake experience. We had an incredible experience a few weeks ago at Sushi Zo. Sushi Note, Sushi Bros., Sushi Spot, Matsumoto, Bar Sawa are also all incredible. Sushi Hilo, which is at the same price point, does not remotely compare. The music, which was at first fine started to kill the vibe. It was on a short playlist of classical music (such as Beethoven's 5th and Carmen), when the list ended, the waitress just started it from the beginning again. On the 3rd go around, my friend suggested to Chef Hilo that he play something else. Chef Hilo's reaction was aggressive and belligerent; sarcastically and loudly apologizing with anger. Loudly saying things like, "Sorry I can't live up to your standards." And even bowing towards our table and yelling, "I apologize that this place isn't good enough for you." My party and I felt attacked and considered leaving then and there. But, my naturally positive friend trying to save what was supposed to be a nice dinner, tried to calm him down by lying to him and telling him that we loved the food and that Chef Hilo was doing a good job. We continued to slog through the courses, but then we heard Chef Hilo say to other guests: "If I can handle the Jew, I can handle the Italians." The other guests at the bar laughed, sadly he was referring to my Jewish friend who requested the music change earlier and was nice enough to try to calm him down. At that point we were all disgusted with the racist remarks and asked for the check. We did not want to stay and enjoy dessert. How could we in such a vehemently unwelcoming environment with mediocre food.

I really loved my experience! Still thinking about it a week later. This was my first omakase in LA and I'm off to find another one this week. The next one will definitely have a tough act to follow. Chef Hilo is hilarious, personable, and did a great job of providing an intimate setting. He also did a great job of describing each course. The sushi was fresh and each course was tasteful. Even some fish I don't typically like, I actually enjoyed here. The assisting staff was also very kind and helpful so that was awesome too!

I'm speechless about this place. Chef Hilo pushes boundaries and I LOVE IT. I brought my amazing girlfriend here for her 24th birthday and man, was it an experience like no other omakase sushi spot. I emphasize on pushing boundaries because the chef prides himself on innovation and creativity. You can even say there are hints of gastronomy in his food. It's very comparable to fine art. We went with the 24 course omakase B menu, their top of the line premium choice. It was the best $250 a person meal we've ever had. I'll let the pictures tell the story. All I can say is that with Chef Hilo, fine details matter. Ask him about the special rice that he sourced from the snowy rice fields in Japan. It took him 3 years to source it and only a select number of restaurants are recognized to even carry it in their restaurant. The service was top notch. I felt like I paid for a Michelin Star restaurant. I will most definitely be coming back. I want everyone I know to have an experience like this. It is THAT GOOD. From the decor down to the design of the dishes, Chef Hilo has created the modern form of edible art.

If you are looking for quality sushi and a nice quaint spot on Beverly drive you found this place. Yes it might be a little pricey but when you eat the food and choose from their very unique select sake menu you'll understand why. I've never seen a sake menu that includes the type of selection and variation as they do. They have unique bottles that are few and rare which is amazing. Chef Hilo was there and soon you realize that this gem of a spot that has been here for years is passed through culinary expertise. They have omakase, but we did a La cart. They have a good selection of food that is curated for the sushi lovers. If you understand sushi I won't have to tell you what to try. But do try the uni shooter and the oysters they had. Other than that all their sashimi was delicious and melted in your mouth. The service was fantastic and I loved their presentation of food and how it came out. I would come here again. It's a great spot and has great food.

I had one of the best omakase experience in my life yesterday. I can tell Chef Hilo is passionate about his craft, he is truly an artist behind the sushi bar. Even his classic music that he plays in the background matches the tone and atmosphere of the omakase dinner. It was an epic meal start to finish and the price was one of the best parts. He explained all of the fish thoroughly and I learned so much. I love the intimate setting where we asked Chef Hilo anything and he was so open and knowledgeable not just about his food but the restaurant industry that he's been in for a long time. Our first course was a trio of oyster and scallop and from love at first bite, I knew it was going to be a great night ahead of us. 18 courses for $150, you cant beat that in all of LA. I will definitely come back and bring all my friends and family to experience this one of a kind omakase.

Best Omakase I have ever had I HIGHLY recommend here if you want the BEST of the BEST BC

Chef hilo is such a badass. His stories are incredibly entertaining and he's got the scars to back them up. On top of that the food... omg the food taste amazing. We were lucky to be seating between some interesting people. It's all one can ask for. Lovely company and good food.

Just got into Beverly Hills on a Wednesday night and was craving sushi. Found some great reviews of Hilo sushi so we gave it a try. It was the best Omikaze experience I have ever had. Chef Hilo was incredible, serving us memorable bites and offering wonderful banter stories about the food. Everything about the experience is what I love about quality, intimate dining. The quality down to the water they serve the British royal family, to the special rice only a 0.03 percent of sushi chefs use... it was a very special time that I was undoubtably be returning for.

I love this place for omakase. The presentation and explanation of each course is amazing. Everything is of course delicious as well. They pay attention to every detail down the fancy French water served with your meal. Great date night spot.

If i could decribed in one word I would but yelp won't let me. The best omakase..............AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic chef, staff and experience. LA MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Japanese restaurant in LA. Quality A1. Service is A1. I will come back here now on. So happy I found this place.

Such a wonderful omakase experience at Sushi Hilo!! Every dish was exquisite and the quality and the temperature of the dish were just PERFECT! Dark but modern atmosphere and service was awesome. Chef Hilo is so knowledgeable and friendly. From serving hot hand towels at the beginning to beautiful ceramic plates used .... you will be amazed by everything here. Perfect place for date night or family/friend get together to celebrate any occasion. One of the great omakase places in LA. You must come here for a memorable omakase experience.

The food was delicious! My husband took me there for my birthday and it was truly a memorable experience. The fish was delicious and it was fun watching a lady sushi chef at work. Our favorite were the Kama and amaebi.

I have been to Hilo three times because I loved the experience so much each time. Each time was exceptional - the dishes changed and were always interesting. I sat at the sushi counter and it was a great location to see everything prepared and to speak to the sushi chef, who is very welcoming and explains all of the dishes as they arrive. I've had fish/ingredients here that I have not had anywhere else and it's all been delicious, fresh, and paired with interesting flavorings.

Last night I had an unforgettable experience at Hilo's restaurant. The Omakase was an around-the-world adventure with dishes from Fiji, Italy, Japan and more. It was insanely delicious, unique, and thrilling. Hilo was super engaged with our group - chatting with us about the food and about life. He's a true artist who flows with the kitchen and dining experience seamlessly. It's an intimate place, simple and old-school. The setting suits Hilo's friendly, laid-back style. World-class food, top-class service, without the stuffiness. I absolutely recommend it and will be back!

Phenomenally exceptional, and that still does not reflect the whole experience! Chef Hilo, his colleagues, the atmosphere, the aesthetic, of the restaurant, his as well as their knowledge, kindness, all embracing invitation to sit in their "Dojo!" Was beyond an amazing experience. Chef Hilo's combination of fish from Italy, Australia, and all points in betwixt coupled with generations of Family traditions make the experience beyond unique (in the best of ways) with his revolutionary (in the best of ways) places him among some of the best Michelin Chefs in the World.

Amazing and will always be our favorite sushi spot in LA. Not only is the food incredible but Chef Hilo makes every experience special.

Amazing food, amazing chef, amazing customer service! Trust the chef and you wont be disappointed!! Ive been to so many sushi places but Hilo was one of my best experiences. You taste the freshness of the fish. Loved this place and forsure we will be back!! Thank you Chef Hilo for your amazing food!

Chef Hilo is back at it again! My second Omakase experience with him. I'm still speechless. Also with everything I've been reading regarding sushi and parasites, I recently learned something new. Chef Hilo only prepares and serves Wild Fish. Many sushi restaurants serve farm raised fish, which can carry the parasites everyone is writing about. I'll be back soon!

Hilo Dreams of Sushi: The best Sushi I've had outside of Japan - and with that bold statement - I can say it was the best singular sushi dining experience I've had. Why ? Quality, Creativity, Attention to Detail, Entertainment and Education all in one great evening. The quality of each preparation matches my Japanese experiences, and yet the creativity and attention to detail exceeds them. Chef Hilo discussed each piece he prepared and served us. It was an unforgettable evening with the great company of an incredibly talented sushi artist. Don't think about it. Don't worry about what it costs. Just do it. You won't regret it.

My boyfriend LOVES omakase and HILO has to be his favorite omakase in LA. Not only is the chef / owner hilarious but we love that its an "eat until you tell me your full" policy. I personally am not a big fan of sashimi and sushi unless its the basic salmon nigiri . So I love that I can ask the chef for something specific or even ask him not to give me something I dont like. I mostly come for the wine and HILOS wine is so good and pairs well with the sushi.

Hopefully I can help provide some clarification. This is from their website: Only Sushi Bar Seating is Omakase. Lunch is from 12:00pm - 2:00pm. For dinner, meals start promptly at 6pm and 8pm, only. Please do not arrive late, you could miss courses! Tables are à la carte and you will be given a menu to select from. Now if you've been in a small dinner Omakase setting like this before you know it becomes an intimate gathering, and the evening has a flow. Reserving on resy pretty much sight unseen, we ended up being the fools popping in on that intimate gathering when it was already well underway. Thankfully they let us take a table, and even though we started the evening feeling ashamed, we ended enamored. Best sushi experience of my life. They take so much care to every piece of fish, garnish, sauce, kernel of rice, it is just exquisitely prepared, beyond luxurious, and every single bite was impressive. Know what you are walking into, this is not 2for1 sushi deal type of place. You will taste deliciousness here that you might not even taste again, so sit back, relax, and relinquish control. Trust the chef.

Hands down best Omakase in LA. Chef Hilo is a gift. The quality of the fish and rice (hand selected and imported) was outstanding, the sauce pairings were innovative (mustard tahini, who knew?) and the presentation was perfection. Chef Hilo takes immense pride in his work, and creates a wonderful energy for the dining experience. Shame on me for sleeping on Hilo, but thrilled that discovered this absolute gem!

Hilo is an incredible sushi chef. Hands down one of the best sushi places in LA - could be the best! Fresh fish, flown in from many locations. Beautiful presentation. Be willing to spend some money but it's so worth it.

unfortunately, the sushi and fish were so small, (I am from Japan and I've eaten at many known sushi bars in tokyo, Hawaii, Nyc and LA) some fish were cut smaller than my pinky size and some are cut in awkward shape. usually sushi chef needs over 10years of training just for sushi, and that's where I pay $200+ for, for the look and flavor and how perfect the rice is as well... ,This place is good, but not worth the price.

Best sushi in LA hands down. Hilo san really knows how to treat and wow his customers with every bite. My guest said Hilo Sushi is the best he's ever had and I do agree to a point. Try it. You won't be disappointed. Every time I go back, something different. Thank you Hilo San.

Exceptional. Oishii. Fuumizekka. This place has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. Chef Hilo always delivers an extraordinary sushi adventure. We have been here a few times and each time was as unique as it was delicious. I strongly recommend you communicate with Chef Hilo you're taste and texture preferences in order for him to create a perfectly tailored omakase experience. 絶対におすすめですよ

I have had omakase sushi many times... I have never been anywhere that can compare to Hilo Sushi. It's more than a meal, it's an experience! Some of the most unique sushi from all over the world. I was able to try a 84 hour braised abalone which was epic! I also had fresh scallop with caviar and 24kg gold!!! Even toro from Fiji! This Chef Hilo is quite the character as well... if you bring a date or friends its a fun environment...prepare to be on the edge of your seat all night! I have been a few times and every-time the meal is completely different. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great experience. No words can describe Hole in a wall for all the brothers to enjoy their family and have a Japanese style sushi.

Hilo is PHENOMENAL. It just opened, and it immediately goes to the front of the line as one of the finest sushi restaurants in Los Angeles. Is it the best? Chef Hilo has run The Fish House for years, and now he is swinging for the fences with this top-drawer new restaurant on Beverly Drive. The fish was incredibly fresh and buttery, and Hilo's preparations and seasonings were out of this world. He is flying in fish from many countries, so the flavors were savory and unique. Some of the Omakase dishes we were treated to: Hawaiian Kahala with black truffle. Opakapaka pink snapper with yuzu and shisho. Fiji albacore with garlic puree. Australian ocean trout smoked with apple cedar. An amazing Tahiti longfin tuna topped with pickled garlic Maui onions. Get the picture? This is ambitious sushi and AMAZINGLY TASTY! Chef Hilo has no patience for rolls or tempura -- this is just the real deal. World class sushi! And -- he is funny and gregarious. He's not a serious, stern sushi chef. So sit at the counter and have fun with Hilo, as he makes your epic meal.

In a word, WOW. First of all, it's a 100 omakase experience. For those not fluent in Japanese, that basically means no menu. It's chefs choice, but you 100% state your deal breakers in advance. For me, that meant no monkfish liver, no eel, uni or octopus (bc that's a legit complex, intelligent source of life). The owner was cheffing this night and the waitstaff will handle your drink orders & bring their incredible "black edemame". They have a truly adventurous list of saki's & a rather sophisticated list Italian reds along w a mix of French & California whites. Oh also they have Japanese beers. The good ones. The vibe in the joint is dark, sexy and moody. I absolutely LOVED it. They play a moody mix of blues music by the greats. If you're lucky, your sushi chef will belt out a verse of two while slicing your next course. The omakase is entirely inventive, completely high brow and utterly impressive. Above all though, it's an absolute feast for the senses. Presentation is not something that is skimped on and I would say that the visuals, combined with the mood along with the incredible food makes this an excellent third date vibe or a super fun girls night out orrrr an impressive power dinner spot for a business content you want to make an impression on. I experienced no weak points or downsides dining here and metered parking out front is a plenty. It should be mentioned that the restaurant feels cozy and intimate while still feeling private. Not one of those XL BH super sized power dining joints, THANK GOD. I will be back. Over & over & over.

Even though again I do not do reviews, I am compelled to write a few lines about Hilo Sushi. Last night was one of the most impressive Sushi experiences I have had in LA. If Hayato has two Michelin stars, then I would give Hilo two Michelin stars, too ! The attention to detail was impeccabile ! Incredible amount of effort & time is put in preparing each course. There were so many unique types of fish that the chef is able to procure from all over the world, and not just Japan. Basically, it's the best of the best. My friends and I must had experienced twice the amount of their even larger Omakase since the chef has so many different types of unique fish to showcase. One of the only few places in Southern California where you can taste Kama Toro ! I can brag about the chef himself for hours for being very friendly, skillful, and knowledgeable about fish. You will not believe this, but we were there over 5 hours ( my previous record was at Ginza Sushi Ko/ Urusawa :) The best part was, unlike the other expensive Sushi bars in LA, it is not Edomae style !!

There is no one better than Hilo. Period. He's an absolute mad genius rockstar. Everything he makes is perfection and there's always a surprise around every corner. I am so blessed to have experienced this artist's work. I love you, Hilo! Thank you for everything!

Hilo sushi is legit divine! I am an avid sushi connoisseur. I'm all about authentic sushi and I can tell you guys if you want real deal authentic next level bomb sushi then they deliver that! Like I said if you are a sushi pro then this is for you! Don't come if you want a weak cali roll, or fried nonsense! This is for the pros. Chef Hilo is an artist and very friendly. Love this place!

Mio padre è venuto dall'Italia per assaggiare le creazioni del maestro Hilo. Più che un pranzo la descriverei un esperienza indimenticabile. Cominciamo col dire che lo chef ha una personalità fantastica e poi ovviamente conosce il suo mestiere meglio di ogni altra persona. Perché quando mangi da Hilo, non solo ti senti bene, ma impari anche ad apprezzare l'arte culinaria. L'atmosfera è stupenda e il cibo è squisito. Le mie cose preferite sono state il riccio di mare e il tonno che proviene direttamente dalla Sicilia. Una volta che mangi con il maestro Hilo non puoi più tornare indietro. Tutto il resto e semplice sushi ma Hilo è arte. Grazie di tutto!

What a treat!! If you are looking for the best sushi and a great experience this is the place to try. Every single dish of the 24 course omakase was to die for. And I'm a picky sushi eater and this really was above all expectations!

Best new sushi place in town. Not the usual suspects - lots of fish I've never tried all expertly cut and served. Soft and buttery and delicious. And Hilo is a hoot - a showman explaining where each piece is from and making you mouth water even more. Great sake as well.

If I could give a 6-star review I would. Hilo sushi is incredibly innovative yet classically delicious. Every plate so unique, every plate so flavorful. Portions and ratios were perfect. The fish was more than big enough. Service was great and the overall experience was spectacular. Chef Hilo has a wonderful personality. It was a joy conversing with him throughout the night. Best believe I will be back soon!

Chef Hilo and the sushi take center stage. The restaurant is omakase style, meaning chefs choice. Hilo, entertains his customers while creating amazing and sumptuous sushi. The seafood is flown in from all over the world. In addition his garnishments are made from scratch. He is always pursuing new ideas to expand his culinary skills. You can never go wrong at Hilo's place.

Absolutely blown away by the food, and service. Much love to Hilo and his staff. Goes above and beyond expectations.

Want a meal? Go to a diner. Want a sushi meal? Go to your tried and true local joint. Want an experience that you will never forget, with the best sushi you ever tasted and a comaraderie at the sushi bar unlike any before? Come here. We did, last night. 3 and a half of the best dining hours ever. Omakase, and if you keep a modicum. If kosher, just let chef Hilo know in advance and you are more than accommodated. Pricey? I guess, but so what? What is the cost of a superb lifetime memory? Exactly.

Five stars is an understatement. I'm an avid Sushi eater frequenting primarily the highest quality Sushi establishments around town. I will definitively tell you to look no further as this is THE BEST SUSHI IN LOS ANGELES, PERIOD. Chef Hilo is an artist, and an incredible talent when it comes to cresting culinary experiences. This premium price is worth every single penny. We have followed Hilo from his prior establishment and his skillset has gone from insanely amazing to out of this world/ once in a life time Sushi Experience that I here in Los Angeles never take for granted. The key is in the fish and the fish Hilo gets not only is unique but also of the top tier quality. His preparation is masterful and there is so much flavor that it will blow your mind when comparing normal dishes such as toro or salmon at Hilo's to other top tier establishments. Hilo has its own unique brand and it is excellence. I can't rave about this place enough. Came here for my wife's Birthday and we WILL be back. From the first bite to the incredible mochi/vanilla ice cream/ real chocolate dessert, this was wonderful. Amazing service across the board to match the food Thank you Hilo for making my wife's birthday an evening to remember forever.

The best sushi I've ever had! Chef Hilo is professional, intelligent, and creative. He puts together combinations I never would've dreamed of. We followed him from his former restaurant to his new location in Beverly Hills and could not be happier. He is so passionate about his job that it rubs off! I've never enjoyed going to sushi so much. Bomb sake too, we asked the waitress for our usual and she recommended one that hit the spot.

Chef Hilo is amazing, he knows how to entertain his guests at the sushi bar. Food was very good and, the service was good as well. Reason for three stars is: You must eat from the chefs menu. You cannot just order anything you want. Yes, chef Hilo was accommodating and, allowed substitutions. The menu was a whole page however, the pieces were very very small! I had tea and, shared a bottle of water at $350.00 per person and, left hungry! Yes, you should go there for the experience and, even better if your company or some else is picking up the bill.

Love this place and go often. My daughter and grand kids also loved this place and the sushi.

Just left and had some of the best sushi of my life. This spot is about to blow up so get in when you can. Hilo, the owner and chef, has an attention to detail like no other. You can tell from the minute you walk in how much love he puts into his sushi. The dude literally creates his own soy sauce and sources the best fish from around the world. I highly recommend, especially if you appreciate fresh fish and high-quality sushi.
