One of the best Omakase experiences in LA! Quick, delicious, yummy and friendly. I’m picky about the food. I’ve been in Tokyo and can compare.
You should try this spot guys! 5 stars!

I came to Q with my girlfriend for our anniversary to experience high-quality sushi and a unique experience since I had found the restaurant on the Michelin guide. I spent almost $1,000 on a dinner for two and we both left hungry. The chef needs to add more dishes to the course! The sushi rice had way too much vinegar and was overpowering all the dishes.

Although I believe the service was ok, not great. They add an automatic 20% gratuity charge which I did not believe was fair. Dinner Omakase was falsely advertised at $300 per person but with the added gratuity it was actually $360 plus tax per person.

The dinner was very awkward since the chef wouldn't talk to anyone, he was just servicing the dishes, explaining what they were briefly, and after would retreat to preparing the next dish.

Whoever gave this place a Michelin star was smoking crack that day.

I definitely will not be returning and would rather take my business to a more casual sushi restaurant since at least there I can spend a fraction of what was charged and not leave hungry.

Like what Winnie in another review said, the service from this place is terrible.
There was no water or tea offered by the waitress, and there was basically no interaction with the chef which is not what I'd expect from an omakase experience.

Despite being seated at the sushi bar (and there being no one else in the restaurant), the chef made the sushi at the other end of the bar diagonal from us so we could barely see the sushi being made. He only ever came over to tell us the name of the fish with no other descriptions.

The fish quality was good and definitely fresh, but I found that the rice was a little too vinegary which overwhelmed the fish (which is of course subjective).

They added a 20% gratuity to the bill which is fine, but they also then taxed on top of the added gratuity instead of the gratuity being added afterwards.

The worst part is that as we were leaving, the waitress chased after us and yelled after the chef who was unlocking the door to not let us leave yet because she thought we were 2 cents short on our $600+ bill, and when she recounted and realized we were actually 3 cents over, she never apologized or did anything else.

For the price paid, the quality and service definitely does not match. I've had better omakase elsewhere for far cheaper. Overall, this might have been the worst fine dining experience I've had.

I'm not sure how they got their Michelin star to be honest.

I will not come back here again, the service at this place is the dealbreaker 🙃 The waitress didn’t even offer water or tea, and she only said three sentences throughout the whole dining experience- “hi” “no video please” and “goodbye”. The chef was like a sushi robot too… He just made sushi, give it to us, and then he just started to play on the phone. Zero explanation of the ingredient except for the name. Not sure how they got the 1 star Michelin?

The food itself was decent (maybe 4 stars), but we didn’t get emotionally engaged. The whole place was just so cold hearted lol

With this kind of service, they still added 20% service charge to the check? Definitely not recommending this place.

AMAZING Omakase experience in DTLA. Very high-end; every piece of fish from Japan. One of my favorites so far in LA. The restaurant is designed beautifully, love the ceiling lighting and brick walls. As for the food, everything was fresh and super tasty. My favorites: Kingfish, Uni, Bluefin Tuna.

Never had such a peaceful dinner outing because our party of three slowly savored every bite with our eyes closed in state of sushi trance. Whenever our eyes opened, we were mesmerized by the elegant décor, impressive artwork and beautiful antiques. Gorgeous black walnut ceiling shaped like an ocean wave set on top of the sand blasted brick wall lined with a glass pane modernizing the vintage DTLA space. Service was very attentive and courteous. Chef Hiro is a true master!

The most hungry omakase for Michelin 1 star Japanese omakase. I am so hungry after the $150/person lunch. The service is terrible and almost to nothing but they still automatically charge a 20% service fee.

This place is on par with a "nice" sushi establishment, not anything to write home about; the experience is great, but not worth the exorbitant cost, better to go elsewhere and not feel like you spent your life savings on an average meal.
