We stopped by on a high 90s high humidity day in LA and had to wait a bit outside in the heat. Was so looking forwarding to stepping inside only to find out that it was only mildly better temperature wise. We had already waited and were seated so decided to stay but it made for a quick meal (maybe that's their tactic lol). I ordered the miso carbonara and it was good - not too salty - but the portions were tiny! I would say it's close to half the amount of the frozen udon blocks you get at the supermarket. Nice chew and flavor but almost like an appetizer for $17/$18. I do really like the food but would probably either not wait or grab another noodle place nearby. Feel really bad for the workers who have to work in such hot conditions.

I love that they were able to substitute imitation crab for real crab because I don't do imitation crab. So when I can get a California roll with real crab, I'm getting it. It's such a simple roll, but so yummy! I'm a nigiri girl, and let me tell you the fish here is just so delicious, fresh, buttery and melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. And the best seat in the house is at the bar watching the sushi chefs do their thing, the whole vibe is just great. It's perfect for lunch or a nice date night. I do recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends. Definitely worth it

Reminded me of dimsum shrimp balls. - Bara Chirashi - LOVED the different textures and flavor profiles of the various components of this dish. Esp the Shiso flowers (tartness) - Miso Soup - Premium Sashimi (scallop, Otoro, salmon): salmon was my favorite! otoro was oh-so-fatty melt in your mouth - Premium Sushi (Golden eye snapper, ebi uni, and I forgot the other): Golden eye snapper was my FAVE! - Miso black cod: sweet, savory, buttery, also melt in your mouth. tasty! - Yuzu Sorbet: refreshing - Birthday matcha ice cream and basque cake.: cake was yummyy - Roku Rose was alright Overall, glad I got to try the DineLA tho the pricepoint def does reflect the higher quality of ingredients. I'd potentially come back for special occasions. Service was friendly, but it felt a little disorganized tbh. Felt like we had to flag people down for drink orders. Also felt rushed through our courses. Wish they waited for all of us to finish before collecting our plates. Easily found free street parking around the corner so don't have to do valet

We ordered seaweed salad, shrimp shu mai, Cilantro Salmon Roll, baked Baby Crawfish roll, house Eel & Avocado roll and Truffle Salmon Blue Crab signature dish. Everything was delicious and fresh, but I would've like a bit more unagi in the eel roll. My favorite was the baked baby crawfish. There was plenty for the 2 of us to enjoy. Service was attentive, friendly and quick, maybe because they weren't too busy at 3pm on Sunday. We were seated in a booth and the lighting was low and felt slightly clandestine, which we both liked. This would be great for a business meeting or after work drinks and starters. They validate parking for 2 hours and the 2nd floor location was easy to find. I look forward to bringing friends here for more private whispers and town gossip over good food. Cheers! "CC"

There's a parking structure nearby where you can park and get your ticket validated, which makes…read moreparking pretty convenient. Seating inside is very limited and consists entirely of bar seating, so don't expect to come here with a large group. The staff was very attentive and did a great job making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. One small detail I really appreciated was the restroom. They have two types of hand soap: scented and unscented. The unscented soap is meant for when you're going back to continue eating, while the scented soap is for after you've finished your meal. It's such a small touch, but it really adds to the overall experience and shows how much thought they put into the details. For the food, we got the 6-hand-roll set, which ended up being plenty to fill us up. The rice was perfectly warm and had a slight seasoning to it, which helped bring everything together with the flavors of the fish and seafood. The hand rolls were fresh and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. Price-wise, I think it's fair for the quality you're getting. Overall, Kazunori is a solid spot for hand rolls if you're in the area or just craving some good sushi!

I've visited this location numerous times, but this review is based on my most recent visit…read more * Parking is available in the same building for $7. Street parking is also available, but it can be difficult to find and may require a bit of a walk. * We were a party of two. My partner ordered three ankimo hand rolls because she loves ankimo, and I ordered the six-roll set. * The rice in my first two rolls was a little too hot, possibly because it had just been prepared. From the third roll onward, the temperature was fine. * After my partner had the second ankimo roll, we both felt that there was too much sauce and that it was overpowering the ankimo. We had just visited the Pasadena location the week before, where the flavor was much more balanced, so the difference was noticeable to us. * We asked the server if they could use a little less sauce on the next ankimo roll, but we were told that everything was standardized and could not be changed. * We tried to clarify that we were not asking them to change the ankimo recipe or any pre-made seasoning. We were simply asking for a little less of the sauce that the chef squeezes on while assembling the hand roll. However, we were given the same answer again that it was standardized and could not be adjusted. * At that point, we stopped asking and just accepted it as it was. Interestingly, the last ankimo roll actually tasted just right, which made us think the chef may have understood what we were asking for even though there seemed to be some miscommunication with the server. Overall, the food itself was not the main issue. We've visited this location many times and have generally had good experiences. This visit was disappointing mainly because a very simple request turned into a communication issue that we felt could have been handled more easily.

I've heard that Daikokuya usually has a long wait, but we were lucky enough to get seated…read moreimmediately on a Wednesday around 2pm! The restaurant really felt like stepping into a ramen shop in Japan, especially with the booths and the bar seating right in front of the cooks making the ramen. It was fun being able to watch them prepare the food. My friend and I both ordered the Daikoku Ramen since it was listed as their top seller on the menu. The broth was so rich and creamy, and the noodles were really good and chewy. The marinated egg was also cooked perfectly. The whites were nicely set while the center was still gooey, with a little bit of sweetness from the marinade. Overall, we really enjoyed the ramen and had a great experience. I would definitely recommend the Daikoku Ramen if you're visiting for the first time!

The location isn't super big and it does get super busy with people putting their names on the wait list and people queueing busily outside (overflow of people waiting for many of the other restaurants along this part of the block too). Overall the ramen isn't bad, chashu is nice and fatty and tender. Ramen is rich and filling. It's nice that it already comes with an egg too and you don't have to add another one. Lots of other side dishes and combos too if someone in your party doesn't want ramen. However, with the increases in prices, the fact that there's many other options in LT, and the fact that there are other Daikokuya locations, it's an alright LT option.

In my party of four, we…read moreshared the following dishes: two orders of the spicy tuna handrolls, two orders of the negima -- "jidori chicken oyster with negi", a scallop crudo, a curry pan (two pieces to an order), a charred Japanese sweet potato (three pieces to an order), an order of aburi salmon (six pieces to an order), budo-"gnocchi" -- made with rice cakes instead of actual potato gnocchi, wagyu zabuton -- prepared as steak frites, and a few cocktails. Although their menu is regularly updated and posted on their website, they'll also have a piece of paper on the table listing on the special of the day. On our visit, the special was fried yellow tail, but we ultimately passed since our order was already loaded. After you place your order, the dishes are coursed out so not everything hits the table at the same time. Pacing was perfect and service was polite and attentive. Of the items we ordered the crowd favorite was the fries from the steak fries dipped into the sauce of the budo-gnocchi dish. The fries were effectively a perfected version of the McDonald's fry: golden and crispy, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The wagyu was sliced into beautiful bite-size pieces and was melt-in-you-mouth tender. Definitely a must order! Another favorite of mine was the Japanese sweet potato. The surface of the potato is beautifully brûléed, there's an intense richness from the glob of miso koji butter on top, and the chives add a nice freshness to the dish. I cannot recommend Budonoki enough if you're a foodie. Seriously some of the best food I've had in LA.

The Kodo trio comes with uni, toro, & wagyu and the Toro sampler comes with o-toro, chu-toro, akami. All of these handrolls were phenomenal & just left you wanting more. The Wagyu katsu you cook on a hot stone at the table which I liked as an interactive dish. The Wagyu cheeseburger was dripping with juice but still had those crunchy edges. The Uni pasta was beautiful & delicious. The Chimichurri prawns I could eat multiple plates of- the shell comes sliced down the middle so you just have to peel it off. For dessert we ordered the Kodo basque cheesecake & Miso chocolate torte. I love a basque cheesecake & the sesame crumble added great texture. The miso chocolate torte made me wish I ordered my own.
