Tasty food, great service, good atmosphere 10/15/2007

I had a wonderful experience dining at Matsuhisa. Nobu was greeting all his guests (all of which were incredibly attractive), and dining across from Mark Wahlberg certainly didn't hurt. Pros: food, service, attractive crowd Cons: loud, crowded seating more

Best Sushi I've ever had! 10/5/2007

My Dad and I came here ravenous out of our minds around 9:30 pm. We had been on a plane and moving into my new apartment all day. We called about an hour ahead and got an appointment (on a Wednesday night). We walked right in and sat at the sushi bar. It was a bit crowded and the tables were uncomfortably close together, but nonetheless, cozy. It was a bit loud, but the people-watching made up for it. The chairs at the sushi bar were a little close together, but most, if not all, sushi bars are like that anyways. It was interesting to watch the chefs yell orders back and forth to eachother--it conributed to the loudness of it all but it showed they were organized and working hard to get our food out fast. And it did just that--we received our sushi literally five minutes after we ordered. We were out of the restaurant by ten. I ordered edamame and vegetable roll sushi. My Dad had the california roll. The edamame was fresh, salty, and scrumptious! The veggies were clearly fresh and the rice was to die for! The california rolls were EXCELLENT. Clearly no immitation crab-meat. Watching the chefs roll the sushi was a treat as well as getting to eye all of the fresh uncooked fish! I love this place--I will definitly go back to try more adventurous sushi rolls! Pros: Fresh sushi and VERY fast service Cons: crowded and loud more

Pros: no wait at the sushi bar more

Top of the line 7/21/2007

Phenomenal! You don't go to Nobu for Sushi. You don't go to Matsuhisa for sushi. If you do, you'll be disappointed. Hence the poor reviews. And it's their own fault. Everyone should know this by now. Stick to the other selections, and you'll have an amazing night. more

worm on my plate! 5/22/2007

I went to Matsuhisa for a business lunch today and was pretty happy with the food until I found a little live pink worm slithering around on my plate. We quickly complained and the staff was apologetic and comped our entire meal, but that doesn' t really change the fact that a parasite was crawling through my food. I understand that this can happen at any sushi place, but for the amount of money you pay to eat at Matsuhisa, you'd at least expect your plate to be clean and your food to be free of worms. Cons: need I say more? more

For the westernized taste 3/22/2007

Ok, I've been back to this place several times. It's usually because someone wants to try it and he or she doesn't want to take my word for it that it's just alright. Food is mostly fushion style with cooked items that taste good. Omakase is not bad but not worth the money. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind plucking down 3 bills per person if food is worth it. But if I pay $600 for two people, I should be getting some kick-ass fish like live amaebi, otoro, caviar (not the California sturgeon), etc. Here, you get some average fish and cooked items. Definitely you're just paying for the name, similar to Nobu at Malibu. 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) Pros: Famous Cons: Average Fish, Good cooked dish, not worth the price more

No bad, but overrrated. 3/21/2007

Ehhhhh...the night was made cooler when Nobu himself came out to greet a table of obscenely loud, obnoxiously ostentatious people next to us and I stopped him on his way back into the kitchen to say hi. But, after the reviews everyone I know gave it, frankly, I was expecting more. My parents went on and on about the mushroom salad for 15 minutes. We thought it was good, but kind of forgetable. In fact the whole evening was that way. Good, but forgettable. Which was weird, because our friend Brian, who was with us that evening (though granted, he was the only one of us who ordered the $120 tasting menu) exclaimed that it was one of the top 5 meals of his life (and he eats at far fancier restaurants in far closer intervals than we do). The place was rather loud, the waitstaff was nice but not at ALL overly so. For the money, I was hoping for an unforgettable meal. more

not a good sushi spot 11/16/2006

i would recommend ordering the hot/cold dishes when coming to matsuhisa.. i believe that is what's best about the restaurant.. the sushi here is not worth the price.. it's not bad, but not the best in LA.. so it is not worth ordering in my opinion.. their banana egg roll desert though is a must have! Cons: sushi more

Nice to try 11/1/2006

Interesting fusion that tastes great. Yes, its expensive, but this is definitely a different take on Japanese food. Don't get the omakase if you are looking for lots of sushi. more

Loved it. Great place for foodies and special occasions. 11/1/2006

I took my mother here a few nights ago while she was visiting me from NY. We were both VERY impressed with the quality of the food. We ordered the omakase for $80 per person and we were very happy with the selections - including dessert, I think there were 11 courses. Our first course was a kind of minced toro dish with a wasabi sauce and caviar, the second course was a crab ceviche, third we had sashimi with mixed greens, fourth course was some sort of fried oyster thing in lettuce cups, fifth we had the black cod with miso, then came the sushi - bluefin tuna, seared salmon, red snapper (tai) with the lemon and sea salt preparation, giant clam, and sea eel. There was also miso soup. For dessert they brough two selections - an assortment of sorbets, and banana spring rolls with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. It was a decadent treat! 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. This is not the place to go if you are just looking for lots of sushi rolls. Loved the omakase - would definitely recommend. However, if you are looking for a more sushi oriented omakase rather than a mixture of cooked food and sushi, try Sasabune. The only drawback to this place is the price, and the difficulty of getting a reservation. Pros: Great, INTERESTING food - a dining adventure! Cons: Price, difficult getting a reservation more

Id Doesnt Get Any Better Than This!!! 9/29/2006

Never been fed so well and by such a wonderful staff. I always have a glorious time here. I will continue to frequent this wonderful resto as long as i live. Nobu is another one not to miss...Vegas Baby! more

One of my favorite restaurants in LA 9/20/2006

What Matsuhisa lacks in atmosphere it makes up for with its delicious food and sushi. 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. It's a must-try for a special occasion! Pros: Food, Service Cons: Atmosphere more

Best Japanese food, classiest customer service ever 9/2/2006

I just went to Matsuhisa last night. It was the best evening ever. Nobu was walking around and saying hi to everyone. He even took a picture with us! The food was great! I had the new sashimi, kobe beef sashimi, lobster ceviche in lime stone lettuce cups, and the scallops with a delicious crispy garlic topping. Everything was fresh and delicious. To top it off, Nobu even sent out a dessert platter for my birthday!!!! If you love chocolate souffle, the bento box is the one for you. It is pure chocolate, pure decadence. We also saw Mark Walhberg dining at the table behind us. The waiter was wonderful. He was very helpful and friendly. Pros: The food( both hot and cold), service, Dessert Cons: Cramped seating more
