    Wow- This was my first omakase experience and it blew me away. All the seafood was so fresh and had impeccable taste. One of the dishes is raw oysters and as someone who doesn't really like raw oysters, these were full of flavor and super fresh (no slimy textures here!). Each plate was curated to perfection and I will say the halibut with truffle and yuzu was one of my favorites of the night. The staff are great and quick to bring on the plates as you enjoy your experience. Jinpachi is a small restaurant, but it has two levels with a bar on the first level and seating on the second floor. I will have to come back again and try more for myself!

    Jinpachi might just be my favorite sushi restaurant in all of LA, which is a bold claim but everything was freaking delicious. Cute and simple interior - everything is focused on ensuring you have a good meal with great and attentive service. I definitely recommend making a reservation. We had the pleasure of going during Dine LA Week and the deal was so good. The Wagyu nigiri wasn't on the Dine LA omakase but we had to get it...and then proceeded to get several more orders. I will be going back!!!!

    The ambiance is very warm and intimate.

    Jinpachi is one of those rare places that by hard work, consistency, and superior fish quality had manage to still be a place that gets excited visiting even after 10 years in this city. Nothing about it is fancy, everything about it is filled with genuine care for their customer's experience. To me that and the fish quality is everything.

    Best sushi I've had in LA so far. I ordered the sushi moriawase and my partner ordered the sashimi moriawase - pieces were all fresh and delicious, comes with miso soup and a salad. Recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch the chefs slice and craft each piece so carefully and efficiently. I also really loved the neighborly, cozy feel of the space, as well as the efficient and helpful service. Definitely on the pricier side (a la carte sushi items were up to $12 per piece!), but worth it for a special dinner experience in my opinion.

    My favorite sushi! 10/10 experience always. Taka is so nice and every piece of nigiri is treated with care.

    What an experience! Fish was so clean and delicious, perfectly cut. Server guided me through several suggestions and they were all absolutely fabulous. newfound favorite was the Amber Jack... had to go back for more. Service was top notch with empty plates being whisked away moments after they were finished, and somehow it seemed my water glass never emptied even though i was drinking through the whole meal. Obviously a respected local spot with a warm friendly atmosphere. Worth every penny and then some. Chef skills were apparently next level.

    10/10 for sushi quality. Took my super picky friend here and he said this was the best sushi he's ever had in LA! I will say it's definitely top 3, will be coming back again and again. The service was super quick too and the price was not bad for the quality of the fish.

    Jinpachi serves up terrific and fresh sushi and sashimi, mostly in classic styles. It's a small sushi bar that people sit around with a few ground floor tables in West Hollywood. There's an upstairs that can accommodate another half dozen dining groups. The tiny affair is minimally decorated, nothing worth mentioning, but consistently good... The one drawback? It ain't cheap. Know that going in.

    Jinpachi is great. An unassuming spot hidden right on Santa Monica blvd in West Hollywood. Easy to walk in without a res and fish is high quality.

    I was in the area and stopped by for the open handroll lunch. Service was attentive, and the…read morepresentation was impressive from start to finish. One unexpected twist was the seaweed. Instead of the traditional nori typically used for handrolls, they served a salted, crispy version. While some diners may enjoy the added texture, it wasn't quite for me. It reminded me of the seasoned seaweed used in Korean kimbap--similar to what I buy at Costco and use at home--which took away from the experience I expect from a classic handroll. The fish itself was fresh and above average, especially considering the lunch special pricing. Overall, it was a solid meal, but if I order this again, I would definitely request traditional nori to better complement the quality of the fish.

    Stopped by before a show at Largo, and there were only four other people dining at the time…read more Service was friendly. I ordered a diet coke, two orders of the eel sushi (each order comes with only two pieces!). I didn't feel four pieces of eel sushi was good value for $16. The hand rolls were $6 a piece which were smaller than the average hand rolls. The eel had great flavor, but the spicy tuna was off. Oh how I wish I didn't have to walk through the kitchen to get to the restrooms. I didn't enjoy seeing the behind the scenes of it all. And the bathrooms need to be cleaned better, especially around the base of the toilets. They smelled awful. I hate to say this, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Definitely a good spot for a date night. I was craving some yakitori, so we ordered a bunch of different ones including Negima, Gizzard, Tsukune, Wings, Chicken Thigh, Liver, Hearts, and Cartilage. All the yakitori was cooked to order and everything came out really good. We also had the Hokkaido Scallops & Sweet Shrimp Crudo, which was delicious. For sushi, I ordered some nigiri including Scallop, Salmon Belly, Bluefin Toro, and Kanpachi, plus the King Tuna Roll. I have to say everything tasted pretty good. I honestly came in thinking it was going to be just okay, but I was pleasantly surprised and ended up really enjoying everything we ordered. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was nice and intimate. I'd definitely come back, especially for the yakitori. Great little spot for a date night if you're around The Grove.

The first round of The Chicken Oyster skewers: smokey but a bit pale, while the second round had the beautiful char we expected. Same goes for the shrimp toast - it felt there was a shift change. Other items we tried: Unagi (nice beautiful piece and great for the price), tuna with crispy rice (fine), yellowtail handroll (on the bland side), tempura brussels w/truffle salt (tasty, not at all greasy). The Lychee martini I had heard rave reviews about tasted off. I feel we caught them during an off moment, so we will definitely try it another time. The Happy Hour for 2-6pm really can't be beat.

Pressed sushi - these are hard to find outside of Vancouver so it was a delight to see them! We had the salmon and hamachi version. Loved that the Hamachi had a delicious spicy kick to it! The matcha mochi chocolate cake was so soft, gooey with strong matcha flavor! Great way to end the meal. It's on a poppin street on West Hollywood.

Everything was delicious and clearly made with very high-quality fish. On top of that, it's incredibly well-priced compared to nearby alternatives. Excellent value for the quality. We will definitely be returning!
