Urasawa

A great place to visit if you are willing to pay over $300 for a quality dining experience. The staff was extremely friendly and the portions full of flavor and reflecting the skill and quality of ingredients. Décor was not an eyesore and seating was very comfortable. The overall meal was very satisfying

I’ve been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world, including several in Japan, and I know Japanese cuisine very well — at least as a dedicated aficionado, if not a chef. But as many Japanese restaurants that I’ve been to, I was still so amazed and impressed by Chef Urasawa-san. The variety, creativity and beautiful simplicity of his offerings, including his nigiri, was just wonderful. The truffle ice-cream was out of the world — I said “wow” at least 15 times while eating it, and I was speechless afterwards, that’s how great it was. Every single dish was of the highest quality, and the chef’s meticulous attention to details showed in every single dish. I felt like I was in Japan for the entire time I was there! It’s really amazing to have this quality of restaurant in LA. It’s the kind of restaurant you’d only expect to find in Tokyo, NYC, or Paris! It was more than worth the cost; in fact,some restaurants cost even more money but they are not nearly as great as this one. I can’t wait to go back. Bravo to chef Urasawa, I bow to your mastery!

If you're on a budget don't go here. If you're looking for a California roll don't go here. If you're not a full-on foodie who likes trying something different and isn't afraid to pay for it don't go here. With that being said you got to go to here a minimum one time in your life. The presentation is amazing, if you take a sip out of your water glass somebody feels it, and let's not forget about the food! OMG the food! By the way did I mention the food?!? I can't describe it so you got to just try it:-)

If you love sushi and want an amazing experience that you will remember forever, this is the place to go. This really is the end all be all of any meal, period. It is the reason why I want to be rich. So that I could eat here once a month for the rest of my life. My only complaint was that I felt like it was so much amazingness packed in to one night and I wished I could break it up into four different meals and go for an hour a night for four nights so I could draw out the savoring of every melt-in-your-mouth piece. It was incredible fish and service but just so much food, and i can eat a lot. I will be back, though, for another special occasion soon. I think the bill was around $700 for 2 of us, with a bottle of sake. Every morsel of fresh fish was delightful.

Yes, it was the most expensive meal I've ever eaten! But you know it will be going into it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience (Sure if I had unlimited amounts of money I would come back). The food taste amazing and so much preparation went into each dish. If sushi is one of your favorite foods then you definitely have to try and plan a trip to Urasawa.
