Sushi chefs with an attitude problem. The sushi is very good but there are plenty of restaurants in LA with great tasting fresh sushi without the inflated price and the inconveni...

Ruler of the Sushi Universe 1/10/2011

I have eaten here dozens of times and each time, it's a miracle. Consistently fabulous, only the freshest and best ingredients go into the exquisitely prepared food here. Someone with a sharp eye keeps the quality top notch every single time I've been here.\r No disappointments. \r \r The justly-famed sashimi salad is a perfect fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine, the Golden Plate award-winning cod is always a delight, and the little caviar appetizers served in a martini glass are as elegant as they are delicious.\r A safe bet for a date or business lunch or dinner. Even people who don't like fish will find something pleasing on the menu.\r \r To me, there are 2 categories of suchi/sashimi resaurant - 1.) Matsuhisa and 2.) everywhere else. more

Old School is the Best School 6/17/2010

I recently visited Matsuhisa and understand why after 26 years, its still in favor - this Chef's Special Menu is superb. The food is extremely fresh and tasty. Pros: Still the Best after 26 years Cons: Can be difficult to get a last minute reservation more

Bad Service & Food 5/6/2010

We came all the way from Tokyo and made reservations for four and was assigned seating at the sushi counter. We were anticipating freshly made sushi from this reputable restaurant. When we arrived we were told that seating was being prepared and 30 minutes later we were led to a table. The person at the reservation desk ignored us and seated parties who arrived after us at the counter and was overall very impolite. The food offered at the table was not the same as the fresh sushi served at the counter. The sushi tasted as if they were made in the back room by amateures. The waiters were not knowledgeable about the food and the service was not personable. Reading the fine reviews of this restaurant, we expected much better service and food. We do not recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting fine sushi. Cons: Crowded, confined space, food overrated more

total disappointment 8/3/2009

My friend and I went for celebrating our birthdays as our bds are very close to each other. As we both know that Nobu is a good restaurant, we wanted to try Matsuhisa for this event. However by the time we left, we might have expected too much... Food is just so ""okay"" here, nothing special. We ordered some sushi and the day's specials. Nothing to remark. The bill we recieved was over $260 as we expected. We would not felt expensive if we were satisfied with the food. Won't go back there for sure. I recommend Gonpachi across the street who serves much better food in great decor, with much less bill. Cons: way overpriced! more

Terrific Tuna 2/13/2009

FANTASTIC and expensive! Located in Beverly Hill! Fresh selection in fish which melts in your mouth. Tuna is to die for and I've never had the black cod with miso soup like this anywhere else. It's pricey but worth it at least once! more

Overpriced and underwhelmed 12/30/2008

I don't get why this is a well-respected restaurant. I hated it. The tables are so close together that you bump into other people or they bump into you regularly. The service was awful ... my waiter not only got my order wrong (bringing me food I didn't order, then charging me for it), but he never brought the rice I ordered either. And he didn't stop by the table except to bring the check. The food was ok, but definitely not worth the price. There are many other much better sushi restaurants in town. Pros: Food's ok Cons: Service, price, ambience more

Get the omakase 12/27/2008

I don't think anyone can say that the food isn't good here. My friends and I had the omakase and it was amazing. My favorite was the soft shell crab. The decor is really casual and tacky, but in a charming way. The only downside is that this place is not for everyday dining for the majority of us since it is pricey. Cons: price more

Service needs work! 9/4/2008

For the money you're spending here, it would help for the service to improve. The waiters don't know how to ""wait""...you have to crane your neck to try to track them down to ask for something. They don't seem to care about their customers. Food was good, but definitely think it's overpriced. and incredibly small portions. You go for the scene, but if you want a good sushi place, there are plenty of better restaurants out there. Cons: RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! LOUD & OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE! more

Disappointing 2/27/2008

After dining at a few of the Nobu locations (which I like), we were excited to give Matsuhisa a try. Being an avid sashimi fan, i was VERY disappointed. The salmon was fatty and chewy, and the yellowtail and tuna were definitely nothing special. We also had the rock shrimp (which was fine - same as everywhere else) and a crab dish which was ok. The bento box dessert was not nearly as good as it is in the Nobu locations. For a $250 bill for 2 people, we could have done much better somewhere, probably anywhere, else. If you are looking for great sashimi I would definitely recommend Hokusai instead - it is amazing! Oh, and ambiance was poor (as expected). Hopefully the new Nobu opening on La Cienega will be better! Pros: Good service, Large menu Cons: Food Isn't Good, Ambiance more

Good unique dishes 2/14/2008

I always have a good dining experience at Matsuhisa or any of the Nobu locations. I wouldn't come here and order sushi. You can do better on sushi elsewhere. Their unique dishes are what makes this place great. Unfortunately, it is a bit on the pricey side, but worth it in my opinion. If it's your first time, I would definitely get the tasting menu, then you can start to figure out what you like best for subsequent visits. Pros: Good dishes Cons: Expensive more

Above average sushi, To die for desserts 1/13/2008

My husband and I walked in one night as we were passing by and were seated right away. The staff and chefs were extremely friendly. The service was excellent. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The rice was exceptionally tasty. The desserts menu is incredible (we had the Bento Box chocolate lava cake and the green tea ice cream). The atmosphere was nice but the inside of the restaurant definitely needs renovation. We just had 3 sushi rolls, a couple of pieces of tempura and dessert and our bill was $80+. But we still thought it was worth it. The worst part of it all was that I got sick as soon as I made it to my car. Pros: Ambience, Service Cons: Crowded, Loud more

so-so 1/2/2008

For an omakase experience, one is much better off at SASABUNE, WA or NISHIMURA. Pros: Parking Cons: Impersonal, average omakase, more hype than anything. more
