Arguably the best sushi on this side of the US. $900 plus for two people is unrealistic for most of the population, however if you got the scratch, and think you know sushi it's worth EVERY GOD DAMN PENNY. Try it, because it will become the high water mark which all others will be measured!

A great place to visit if you are willing to pay over $300 for a quality dining experience. The staff was extremely friendly and the portions full of flavor and reflecting the skill and quality of ingredients. Décor was not an eyesore and seating was very comfortable. The overall meal was very satisfying

The student has become the master. Urasawa is the best sushi I've had in the US, hands down (and definitely better than Masa in New York). Make reservations beforehand, be prepared for a pricey bill, and just leave your palate in the hands of the chef.

USD $450 without wine and before tip. Every dish is perfect in ingredient, cooking and presentation. Once in a life time treat.

Possibly the three best meals I have ever eaten; without contest, the three greatest Japanese meals anywhere, including Tokyo. A small, warm, convivial yet serene spot where you will see food as art at a very high level.

If you're on a budget don't go here. If you're looking for a California roll don't go here. If you're not a full-on foodie who likes trying something different and isn't afraid to pay for it don't go here. With that being said you got to go to here a minimum one time in your life. The presentation is amazing, if you take a sip out of your water glass somebody feels it, and let's not forget about the food! OMG the food! By the way did I mention the food?!? I can't describe it so you got to just try it:-)

It was a great experience dining there. Food was excellent! I wish we had the "Fourteenth Generation Sake" (Not sold in US). It would be the perfect pairing for me.

I've been dreaming about eating Urasawa's food for over a decade. Then came coronavirus, and a perfect opportunity arose. Urasawa's offering bento boxes, which are substantially more affordable than eating-in. Price was $220. It was easy to call the restaurant and reserve a meal for take-out. There was very little traffic, and street parking was easy to find. I called the restaurant, and a few moments later, the chef walked over carrying a tray with this beautiful cloth-wrapped bento box. Inside the bento box, there were real ceramics. The bento box did not come with a written description of the items, but I will try my best. Beef roll: slightly sweet. There was a pleasant contrast between the slight chew of the beef and a crunchy vegetable inside. Ginger shoot: crunchy, refreshing for palate. Bean: a cute crisp green bean. Scallop: firm and sweet Tako: chewy in a good "Q" way. Not rubbery. Shrimp: so beautiful, toothsome. Gari: yellow, not pink Smoked fish: I think it was smoked fish. Wrapped around a crunchy vegetable. Squash: I think there was a squash piece. Waxy texture in a good way. Mushroom: sweet Snappea: good crunch Taro: sweet and smooth Chestnut: very sweet. It didn't dust or fall apart. Daikon: soft and juicy Carrot: it tasted like a carrot Gobo: simmered. Earthy, sweet, and fibrous. Abalone: good crunch and chew. Not rubbery at all. Chawanmushi: smooth texture. Caviar: I think there was caviar. Was I supposed to eat it alone? Sushi rice Pickles: I saw daikon, renkon, cucumber, eggplant. Chirashi: a believe this is a chirashi rice. There were bits of unagi, uni, ikura, tamago, and a crunchy green vegetable. Lovely. Huge portion. Strawberry: a beautiful strawberry Shisho leaf wrapped around something sweet: I think there was a bit of sweet orange inside? Ume: sweet and firm Strongly recommend Urasawa.

Finally made it to Urasawa & "wow" is my only word I can use to properly describe our dining experience! Be ready to spend a legit amount of money for this meal, $600 per person + tax, tip, & alcohol, but it's an exquisite adventure definitely worth going to venture at least once. It will definitely set you back some, but a worth while adventure in my opinion if your up for it. Overall Rating: A++++

I had the privilege to finally dine at Urasawa. 2 Michelin stars warrants an applause, yes? For years, I had been curious about this exclusive restaurant and have wanted to try it after hearing so many fanciful and wonderful compliments about the Omakase. To say the least, I definitely had a memorable experience. Chef Hiro is a highly revered master sushi chef - devoted to his craft and is constantly in pursuit of perfection and excellence to the point of obsession. He balances precision and artistry in every painstaking detail of his work. For quite some time, Urasawa was not only the most expensive restaurant in Los Angeles, but the second in the entire country. The high cost to dine here will be around $450 per person before tax and tip, and the prices continue to rise (every few years, it seems). The place can only accommodate 10-12 guests at a time on any reservation date. So what makes Urasawa so luxurious? The intimate dining, utter-secrecy, and the 30-course omakase menu that changes daily. To confirm, it really is the "ultimate sushi experience". The quaint little restaurant is hidden on Rodeo Dr. and once you find the location, you'll need to take the elevator to enter. There's valet parking. The servers and Hiro will kindly ask you to refrain from taking any pics. My 3 friends and I had a magnificent time, but we were all beyond stuffed after the 30 courses. The total cost of the bill was about $4000 after tax, tip, and orders of sake. Worth the life experience!! We only live once, right?
