Service was good but the ambience needs work--small, cramp, dark and sort of just yucky. ”
- “
All the chefs are fun and friendly. ”
- “
The decor is not particularly impressive, but it has a sceney atmosphere without being oppressive and you really might sit next to a movie star. ”
- “
It melts in your mouth, great service, fun rolls. ”
- “
The service was great - and the atmosphere - but those shadows on the wall are a little bit spooky, aren't they? ”

What Matsuhisa lacks in atmosphere it makes up for with its delicious food and sushi. ”
- “
Oh, and ambiance was poor (as expected). ”
- “
would highly recommend this location for a buisness lunch, especially for out of town or Far East customers. ”
- “
It was extremely loud, and the decor was uninteresting at best. ”
- “
The atmosphere was nice but the inside of the restaurant definitely needs renovation. ”
- “
recommend Gonpachi across the street who serves much better food in great decor, with much less bill. ”
- “
If you like more romantic mood, Nobu Malibu is recommended. ”
- “
Interior design is very simple and not gorgeous but that makes cozy atmosphere. ”
- “
Tasty food, great service, good atmosphere ”

The warm banana cake is good, though. ”
- “
The food is amazing, as are all the deserts. ”
- “
The desserts menu is incredible (we had the Bento Box chocolate lava cake and the green tea ice cream). ”

If you love chocolate souffle, the bento box is the one for you. ”

First, Japanese oysters (one with caviar topping, another with Maui onion salsa), second, salad with fresh sashimi and vinaigrette, third, spanish mackerel in warm chili sauce, fourth, shrimp-fish thingy wrapped and fried in noodle with awesome sauce, fif ”

The food was great! ”

My mom and I really enjoyed each new dish and were really happy with the quality of the food, the beautiful presentation, and interesting combinations of tastes and textures. ”
- “
Good unique dishes ”
- “
I'd highly recommend the Blackened Cod with Mizo, which is considered the signiture dish here. ”

But "hot" japanese food should never be as expensive as good sushi (except for kaiseki), and hot food here is very expensive. ”
- “
Best Japanese food, classiest customer service ever ”
- “
We do not recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting fine sushi. ”
- “
Everything was fresh and delicious. ”

The food is amazing, as are all the deserts. ”

He was a delight and we had a wonderful experience from the service to the food. ”

The food was good, not ingenious, but above average. ”

For the best sushi in LA please try Hamasaku. ”

All ingredients are fresh and you can really taste the difference. ”

If youre idea of good sushi is California rolls and Kabuki, youll be blown away. ”

the fish was very fresh, and they had some interesting food combinations. ”
- “
Also, all dishes are beautiful, creative and tasty. ”
- “
love that, though the food is extremely good and the chef is reknown, it's not a food chapel--it's loud, it's crazy busy, and some terrific food comes out of the kitchen. ”
- “
If you want great sushi and a good price go to pasadeana (sushi of napoles) no that is the best sushi I've ever had! ”

The sushi is very good but there are plenty of restaurants in LA with great tasting fresh sushi without the inflated price and the inconvenience of waiting only to be treated poorly. ”

The sushi here is excellent, however you can find sushi of the same caliber at other places in town such as Takao or Hamakawa. ”

3rd baked king crab with lemon-ginger vinagrette-really fresh, definitely enjoyed it. ”

This is where an amazing blend of fusion seafood began. ”

The yellowtail with jalapeno is fresh tasting, but nothing impressive, and the rock shrimp tempura is okay. ”

went to this place because someone told me it was the best sushi they ever had. ”
- “
cannot believe i haven't left a review for my favorite upscale sushi/azn fusion LA restaurant. ”
- “
The quality of the sushi is good, but its not jaw-dropping like at rival places like Sasabune or Nozawa. ”

6th was sushi: toro, hamachi, sake, uni, hakai-the uni was terrific, ate 3 of them in fact, courtersy of my neighbours:). ”
- “
Ok the food is fresh and good but this restaurant is WAY over rated ! ”

Desert was tasty, but that? ”

The food at Matsuhisa is superb. ”

The vegetables and other ingredients are as fresh as the fish--I don't think I've ever lingered over a peppercorn before, but I did here. ”
- “
But the hot food was wonderful. ”
- “
In fact there are only three other restaurants in all of Los Angeles which have the quality of sushi offered by Matsuhisa, and none have the creative dishes that make them a "must try while in Los Angeles" for anyone that wants to explore something new in ”

Outstanding food! ”

Oh, and the kobe beef was pretty great too. ”

recommend Gonpachi across the street who serves much better food in great decor, with much less bill. ”

would definitely go back and would recommend Matsuhisa to anybody that enjoys good sushi and Japanese food, but stay away from the omakase menu if you're hungry. ”
- “
Rock shrimp tempura pop in your mouth, the miso cod is addictive, the lobster salad is exceptional and the sushi is always fresh and of the finest quality. ”
- “
For $80 or $100 or $120, you can get some unique dishes (7 total ~ quality changes with price). ”
- “
The most disappointing part of it was we were expecting amazing sushi and all we got was okay cooked and semi-cooked food. ”

Note to sushi chefs: keep in mind that you are nothing more than a mediocre sushi chef so enough with the attitude. ”

wouldn't come here and order sushi. ”
- “
You go for the scene, but if you want a good sushi place, there are plenty of better restaurants out there. ”

I have yet to have a bad food experience ! ”

The rice was exceptionally tasty. ”

The best sushi in town and the by far the best restaurant. ”
- “
The sushi was fresh and delicious. ”

This restauraunt however had plenty of great dishes for those of you who don't like fish. ”

had the new sashimi, kobe beef sashimi, lobster ceviche in lime stone lettuce cups, and the scallops with a delicious crispy garlic topping. ”

Everything is so fresh and the Saki's are great because they offer a variety of flavors (best is Passion Fruit and Pineapple) You just can't pass this up. ”

Always the best palce in town for a huge selection of sushi delicacies and nuvo fru fru dishes. ”

Watching the chefs roll the sushi was a treat as well as getting to eye all of the fresh uncooked fish! ”

What Matsuhisa lacks in atmosphere it makes up for with its delicious food and sushi. ”

Yes, its expensive, but this is definitely a different take on Japanese food. ”

Aside from the usual sushi and sashimi, black cod w/ miso is yummy too. ”

So with my personal experience, the $100 menu offers some delicious creations. ”
- “
The "hot" food, however, is quite good. ”
- “
You want really the good stuff, stick to little tokyo restaurants like SushiGo55 (live items), Komasa (good and cheap), Hamakawa (excellent chu-toro although I prefer otoro), and newly opened Tekumi (tasty kumamoto oysters) ”
- “
Their unique dishes are what makes this place great. ”
- “
I have pretty much been to all the new " fancy " sushi places - but I still consider this the best sushi in LA ”

Service is attentive and timely and the food delicious and fresh. ”

do, however, endorse the Cod with Miso - totally delicious, and the only thing that was above average. ”
