Yeah, I’ve lived in Los Angeles the whole time, but never made it to Matsuhisa…took a friend for her birthday here…I recommend going to the sushi bar (always) to ask the chef what they recommend…not to mention you can see what’s fresh…

We went mostly by what the chef recommended…and everything was tip top!

i am dying to give this place 5 stars. great sushi and sashimi, great service, low-key vibe… but they cooked my toro and didn’t think of giving to me as sashimi!!
also, omakase is NOT a must, if you are clear about what you like and are reasonably well acquainted with jap cuisine. a word of warning – if you’re looking for a totally authentic jap experience (à la tsukiji), then this isn’t the place for you – they will put unconventional (but often very fitting) sauces on your sashimi.

this place has the best sushi ever!!! go with some drug reps and make sure to order some unfiltered sake~
