Came for the nigiri, stayed for the cooked menu. The five-piece nigiri set runs through kanpachi (greater amberjack), hamachi (yellowtail), bincho (albacore), salmon, and hon-maguro -- Spanish bluefin from the Almadraba traps off Cádiz. That last one is the prestige fish here and worth the price line; texture and fat are in a different league than the rest of the set. Cooked side: the Musume wings are sticky, glossy, sweet-soy -- the kind of glaze that catches the light. The crunchy roll (spicy tuna + crispy onion + eel sauce) gives you the textural payoff in one bite. The crispy tuna bites (caviar + jalapeño + sriracha aioli over crisp rice) are the hero -- order them whether or not you do the rolls. Closer was an unagi don, glaze on the eel doing the heavy lifting. Service from T. was on point the whole meal. Room is small and lights are low -- book ahead for groups. Will be back for that bluefin. read more

Nothing beats fresh high quality sushi and this place definitely got it! We ordered the beef bowl, yellowtail crudo, truffle salt edamame, and musume roll. We also got their shaved ice matcha for dessert. The beef bowl is big enough to share between 2 people in addition to other rolls. The staff were very friendly and attentive too. We were seated at the bar and the chef gave us a rundown of what to expect and their suggestions too. Very chill guy and offered us a seared salmon freestyle he made. Would definitely be coming back everything we tried was delicious! Street parking is available in the area too. read more

Truly some of the best sushi I've had in LA. Have also had sushi in Japan and Hawaii and the fish quality, flavors, and menu items are very comparable. We had two hand rolls (yellowtail and blue crab) and they were incredibly delicious - perfect ratio of rice to fish (and very generous portion of fish), rice was warm and fresh, and the nori was wrapped in a way that secured the hand roll and still had a light crunch. Their house made Tonkostu ramen is a must. Extremely clean broth bursting with flavor. Matcha beer is something I've mostly seen in Japan but it's the perfect drink to pair with fresh sushi. To top it all off, they are so sweet and kind - always checking in on you but in a subtle way. And the restaurant is gorgeous inside (beautiful seating and dishes) and comfortably minimalist. Also everything came out so fast! Will absolutely be coming back and this currently my favorite Japanese restaurant in LA. Please do yourself a favor and come eat here read more

This is a long overdue review that I should've wrote months ago, but this place left a long lasting impression as one of the best sushi spots I've been to in LA. The fish tasted fresh and the portions were generous. The musume wings blew me away like who would've expected a sushi place to have super delicious wings? The staff was welcoming and frequently checked on how our table was doing. I will definitely be going back here on my next visit to LA! read more

This is one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in LA. And the best part is that it doesn't break the bank! We've been here for brunch and dinner. First of all, it's a pretty lowkey place - it's easy to walk by and you don't even know that you walked past it. The Tekka bowl, the Kaisen don along with their hand rolls have fresh fish. And they definitely put a good amount in the dishes. Everything's so flavorful. As for the non-sushi items, the chicken karage is pretty good too. Service is exceptional and parking's sometimes a bit complicated. If you can et a spot in the back, it's pay the valet whatever you want. For street parking, you got to go more into the residential areas but it's not a bad walk. Otherwise, I highly recommend Musume for a casual lunch/dinner if you are already in the area. read more

I live in Hawaii, we have great sushi there and this place is amongst the best I've had so that's saying something. The service was subtle and quickly and quietly attentive. The atmosphere is traditional ramen house shape with post modern color pallet and lines. They had a mix of music playing but wasn't too loud and was easily tuned out of you weren't listening for it. read more

Hidden gem of a restaurant! I recently came for a dinner on a Wednesday night from a friend's reccomendation, and this place was sooo good. The customer service was amazing, the owner was super sweet and offered us extra salmon pieces to try. The inside of the restaurant has such a nice clean looking aesthetic, everything was so well thought out from the interior of the restaurant to all the dishes we tried. We ordered the sashimi chef's special, the yellowtail apple yuzu, and musume wings. Every dish we had was so flavorful and melted in my mouth, and not only that but so much creativity in each dish we had. 10/10 experience and I will be back!! read more

I really like this spot. Such a hidden gem with great quality sushi and fish!! Def a go to place for us!

Wow. Probably the best sushi in Hollywood. Fresh sashimi that melts in your melt, portions of the cuts & rice were generous. This food was made with love I can already tell. The place itself was so cute and minimal. I wish I could stay in and eat so my hand rolls would have been fresh and crunchy but I had to order take out. Regardless, the hand roll salmon I got was still delicious. The chefs didn't mess with the flavors of the sashimi which was a good thing because it shows you the delicious flavor the fishes gives off naturally. Everything was well thought out and priced reasonably. You gotta check this place out, trust me. read more

Easy to place an order over the phone (haven't tried online) and pick up, their fish selection is nice and very fresh. I've ordered a couple times now and definitely appreciate having another fresh sushi option in the neighborhood! Interior is quite calming, minimalistic, clean and modern. Go give them a try if you're in the area - classic offerings are also available as a hand or cut roll which a plus to me (i.e., blue crab, tuna, etc.). Reasonable pricing for the quality. Side note: My first experience here there was a bill discrepancy and the owner was very quick to resolve. The fact that I was even contacted by the owner speaks volumes in Hollywood! Wonderful service and everything was taken care of. Will return soon. read more

As a big Japanese food lover, I am sooo happy this new Japanese spot opened near me! The tekka don was probably the best tuna bowl I've ever had and their happy hour deals were very reasonably priced (I got the shima aji crudo and it did not disappoint). Super quick service and really excellent quality of fish and presentation. It is a great switch up from the Sugarfish nearby, which doesn't have much variation if you're going often. Excited to try the rest of Musume's menu! read more

Musume - Shima aji with Yuzu Soy Garlic - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After hearing so much about this place and driving 45 minutes to try it, I found it a bit disappointing. The service is great, and everyone is very friendly. The décor is simple and minimalist, which I appreciated. However, I'm still puzzled by the food. The fish quality was average, with thin slices on Al Dente rice, but the biggest surprise was the overwhelming sweetness in everything. The rice, every sauce--everything had a noticeable sweetness that was overpowering. Here's what we ordered: * Garlic Shishito: Nicely spicy, but the shishito peppers had a tough, inedible skin. * Agedashi Tofu: The texture of the tofu was good, but again, it was very sweet. * Miso Soup: This was tasty and enjoyable. * Sushi: Yellowtail Belly, Salmon Belly, Shima Aji, and Amberjack were all average, each with its own special sauce, but yet again, all overly sweet. I won't be returning, though it seems a lot of people enjoy the flavors at this new spot. read more

Came across this on Yelp, as a new spot that just opened up. Parking was fairly easy to find, valet parking available in the back and plenty of street parking on the side. Our server was super attentive and would occasionally check in on us. The restaurant is in a fairly small place, but the interior was so modern and minimal looking. It gave off casual, but contemporary dining. The silverware's and dishes were so sleek, the overall ambiance was just so aesthetic. For the price we paid for dinner, with the amount of dishes we got including dessert, I would say this was a fairly priced spot. Since coming back from Japan, we haven't had a decent place to eat out, since Japan has set the standards high for us. However, this place met those expectations. Everything was so fresh and made with so much flavor. The beef clay pot rice was so tender and seasoned perfectly, which paired well with the garlic rice. Our sashimi came with a bowl of rice and seafood, so that we could pair them together. Even the white rice itself was seasoned and had a slight hint of sweetness. As for the dessert, I loved how it was not too sweet and not too overbearing, it was a light dessert that was great to end the meal. At the end of our meals, we were even given a complimentary chef's special of mixed sashimi with crab meat on top (so perfect!). I could go on about this spot, but this place was just as comparable as the meals I had in Japan and also very similar to Izakaya Osen but a way better price point. Will be coming back to the try the rest of the menu and their lunch specials. read more

I recently visit a Japanese spot in Hollywood with a minimalistic decor featuring beige/white colors painted and wooden walls creating such a calm and warm ambiance. We start off with Musume wings and let me be real with you the way they fried it was on point and have an amazing flavor. Then we move on to Sashimi set (Lunch) oh wow you have see and taste how incredible fresh their fish are and also price for lunch items are very reasonable. We also had 2 Crudo plates which is Tuna Ponzu and chili oil Yum Yum Yum But then Albacore garlic ponzu hand down to be the highlight of this meal. SUPERB! Friendly service complemented the excellent food, I'll definitely return soon. read more
