So we came in for one night stay and happen to be at a hotel down the street. We gave this…read morerestaurant a chance due to a recommendation at the hotel. The service was great, the ambiance was great, but the fish.....the fish was amazing. We eat sushi twice a week minimum, and we were very impressed with the quality of fish. Plus they have a couple items that most sushi restaurants don't and they were fantastic items. We didn't have anything from the kitchen, all we had was sushi, and I can't wait for an excuse to come back to Beverly Hills.

DELIVERY Ordered for delivery so this may not represent the…read morequality dining in. SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced.

My friend and I were a bit boozed out from the night before, so we stuck with a handful of sharable platters including California rolls and ceviche, all tasted amazing. Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

Chirashi - the fish is QUALITY. 2 types of each fish, so it's still shareable with a friend. Standouts: their Uni was so creamy and fresh. Also loved the kanpachi pieces - firm and flavorful. Hamachi was also so buttery and fresh. The Miso Chilean Seabass skewers were the best. So tender, soft and grilled and marinated perfectly. What a nice thick satisfying chunk. This is a must order. 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. We walked to Dayglow for matcha and the Pacific Design Center for inspiration.

The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. There were some delays in getting a few of the dishes to the table, but the service itself was still good and the servers did their best to take care of us. The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review. For now, it's a solid 4 stars from me.

We have been to Matsuhisa many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. We primarily go to…read morethe Aspen location now, which is consistently fantastic -- truly a 10/10 experience every time -- so we were excited to come back to the original Matsuhisa on La Cienega. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. We also didn't realize the restaurant had expanded. We were seated in the newer secondary room rather than the main dining room, and honestly, we felt like an afterthought. It was a Tuesday night and the room was practically empty, so there really wasn't an explanation for the lack of service. Our waitress briefly came over to take our drink order, then disappeared. One of my drinks was forgotten, which in itself would not have been a big deal, but then we sat for approximately 18 minutes without anyone returning to take our food order. No one checked on us at all. Eventually, I had to get up and go back to the front desk, where the staff were thankfully very kind and apologetic. I explained that no one had been to our table in 18 minutes and that we were in a hurry. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the service. We ordered many of the things we normally get: vegetable tempura, albacore, salmon and other sushi, miso soup, chicken skewers, rice, and the creamy spicy shrimp. The creamy spicy shrimp was very good, but much of the rest was surprisingly underwhelming. The miso soup tasted completely different from what we remembered and was incredibly salty. The biggest surprise was the rice. It was overcooked and somehow managed to be mushy and hard at the same time. For a restaurant of this caliber, we honestly could not believe the side of rice was that poorly prepared. We have had so many wonderful experiences with Matsuhisa over the years, which made this visit even more disappointing. Between the lack of service, being seemingly forgotten in the secondary dining room, and several food-quality issues, this simply did not feel like the Matsuhisa experience we know. Unfortunately, we have to give this location two stars and will not be returning. We'll stick with the Aspen location, which continues to be exceptional. We are genuinely sad to say that because we expected so much more from Matsuhisa.

I got salmon, hamachi, and chutoro. All of it was sooo good. Zero fishiness. Every piece was plump and firm with clean cuts, not broken up or mushy, and it had that clean, slightly sweet taste fresh fish should have. I'm normally put off by the aftertaste of tuna, even at expensive omakase, but this chutoro had none of that and I could actually appreciate the flavor of the fish. What surprised me most was the California rolls. They're massive, rolled perfectly, and actually packed with filling. What made my meal was taking a slice, putting a piece of my sashimi on top, and eating it together. Basically a cracked out rainbow roll for a fraction of the price. The crab roll was solid too. I was surprised I could get a roll with real crab at that price. Service was super friendly and store was clean. I really can't wait till I'm back in SoCal. This was worth every penny!

The restaurant is clean and cozy. Dinner promptly started around 6pm. The 17-course omakase was absolutely amazing for a price tag of $195/person (not including the mandatory 18% service charge and tax). Most, if not all, the fish and ingredients were flown straight from Japan. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! My favorites were the shirako and monkfish liver nigiri since these are delicacies that you don't see often in omakase menus in the US! I was so excited to see such variety thru out the meal. Overall, I had a blast at Yasu and thought that it was a 2-hour well spent. My belly was satisfied and I didn't feel the discomfort of being ridiculously full.

Chef Yasu was serving us and we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time so we had the full attention of the staff! All of the fish we had was of high quality and it was great being able to see the chef prepare the sushi in front of us as we were waiting and eating. You get to experience a wide variety of fish and some which you may have not had before! Several favorites of mine throughout the whole meal were the monkfish liver, tamago, & scallop! I would recommend coming to Yasu for any special occasion and you will get to eat some amazing sushi here. The overall ambience was fancy but also welcoming and comfortable. It's more suited for smaller groups so I recommend your max party size be around 3-4 people. The pricing for the 17 course omakase menu we had was quite reasonable with picing at $195 per person with + 18% service fee and after tax it came out to be around $250 per person! The value and service you get here is phenomenal and it's one of the better priced options for omakase in LA.

My fear of going to omakase places is that I will pay a lot of money to still be hungry at the end, but I didn't leave Nozawa Bar hungry at the end! The location was located inside Sugarfish in Beverly Hills and since they do a 6pm and 8pm time slot, arrive on time! We were greeted by the chef as we enter in the back of Sugarfish and seated intimately in front of the chef as he prepared every dish in front of us and explained what we're eating. Everything prepared was fresh and flawless and the chef was super nice to talk to. I definitely had favorites and some were definitely things that I've never tried before so it was a pleasant experience to try new things! Overall, I would recommend this place as a date night.

NOTE: Dined in on 10/27/24…read more Definitely want to write a couple of reviews before the end of the year to shine some light on restaurants that really need some more love here on Yelp. Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value. In particular, the lunch omakase is probably amongst the best sushi deals I've had for a sitdown spot. I'd definitely take it into consideration over let's say... Sugarfish. People often talk about how "fresh" fish tastes at sushi restaurants, but I feel like the best raw fish is often aged to an extent. The taste of the fish here is good, but I don't feel that they always use the best cuts. For example, the otoro was tasty, but it was not as marbled as I'm used to seeing. That said, another critically important and often overlooked component of sushi, particularly in handrolls and nigiri, is the rice. The rice here is delicately warm, pairs well with the fish, and has a pleasant, slightly sweet and vinegary taste. Simply delightful. The miso soup was also quite delicious, with a hearty, deep, set of flavors in the soup stock, and the scallop hand roll here was so good, I forgot to take a photo before devouring it haha. The lunch special should be enough food for most folks, but you're always welcome to add additional items to it! Now, is it good enough for me to try the more expensive dinner courses? Debatable, but it might be... just barely! The value proposition is hard to ignore, though. It's certainly one of the best deals you'll find on the Westside.
