Be the first to ReplyTHE DEFINITION OF JAPANESE PRECISION AND
THE DEFINITION OF JAPANESE PRECISION AND PERFECTION! Located in a private 10 guest room in the rear of sugar fish in Beverly Hills, if you can get a reservation then book it. Be prepared to spend a hefty fee and be prepared to be instructed on how to eat sushi. "Eat this in one bite", "don't use wasabi on this piece", "don't put wasabi in your soy sauce". Hey, they got it right, so just follow the instructions and become a sushi connoisseur. The service is impeccable and the private room is very intimate. No drop of soy sauce remains on your space, as it is removed immediately. Su is an elegant and attentive hostess. Chef Fuji demonstrates his expertise while his assistants quietly complete each course (all 20) and present it to each guest. Initially it seems a little stressful (like what I imagine Jiro "does sushi" in Tokyo would be like). Follow instructions and pop sushi in mouth. As the night progresses, you realize that chef Fuji is a comedian and raconteur. He talks about his wife (the shogun) and people from different cities in Japan. Now the sushi. Twenty courses, no need to grab a burger on the way home. First course is freshly cut Hokkaido octopus and New England pink lobster and hotaru ima. Amazing live presentation. Akamatsu (ruby snapper)--wow. First taste for me, dazzling color and melts in your mouth. Mirugai (geoduck) is my favorite and it contracts on the surface prior to being sliced. Maine lobster hand roll was surreal. I'm not a huge uni fan, but this one was generously folded and buttery. Oh and chef boasts that 70% of the fish is from Japan. The courses climax with expertly cut tamago (egg) expertly zig zag cut pockets to hold ume. I'll never go to jiro sushi in Japan but Nozawa fulfills the pickiest sushi lovers dream!

Nozawa Bar was a great experience and we left very very very full. We booked a month ahead by phone and paid upfront. It's about $225 per person, and with drinks and tax, the bill totaled around $600. There were around 22 courses including dessert. The dishes were incredibly fresh and tasty. The most memorable courses were the Hokkaido Octopus, New Zeland Pink Lobster, Bluefin Tuna Akami, Santa Barbara Uni, Japanese Kinmedai, and the 3 different type of oysters (Kumiai, Kumamoto, Kusshi). There were however a few courses towards the end of the whole dinner that felt like filler pieces such as the Tamago, Maine Lobster, and Japanese Anago (sea eel) nigiri. I could have gone without those courses and felt the menu was a little overpacked. At then end, they gave us a passion fruit sorbet and hojicha tea which was the perfect way to end the dinner. Chef Fujita, his sous chefs, and the staff were very kind and lively. Dinner was very interactive because Chef Fujita made a lot of jokes and interacted with everyone. Dinner setting is also intimate as it is only 10 seats. Overall, great experience and would definitely come back!

Amazing! Chef Fuji put on a show for us and the fish was top notch. 10/10 will be back again.
Be the first to ReplySecond time here and it was even more enjoyable.
Cozy 10 person bar situated in a private room allows you to get to know you fellow sushi foodies and interact with Chef! Fish is first rate and you will be full after the 18-20 pieces/dishes. Favorites were the lobster roll and the uni but honestly it was nice just sitting back and getting surprised. My only job was to enjoy the great sushi and great company!
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best omakase experiences.
It was my first time doing a limited seating style meal and everything was delicious. The chef was able to accommodate a shellfish allergy and price was definitely reasonable compared to some of the places doing similar things. And we got a photo souvenir with the chef! Would come back anytime.

Saturday 8:30pm I reserved about 1 month in advance and payed online. The host came out around the reservation time and called out the reservers name to for checkin. The host then lead everyone to the back. Parking: Parked in the Beverly Canon Gardens Parking. Parking is free for the first 2 hours before 6pm. After is a $5 flat fee. Food/Drinks: Everything was absolutely amazing my favorite was the toro and tamago. Ambiance: The place is super small and in the back of another restaurant. Only 10 people at a time. The chef was so cute, he talked to everyone and would checkin on us. Since the place is so small, it was fun to talk to the others while waiting for the sushi to come out. Overall, a very warm and welcoming vibe. Service: The food is prepared right in front and they tell you when you can use wasabi. Would definitely go again for special occasions.
Be the first to ReplyAt Nozawa Sushi, the experience was fantastic.
The sushi was very fresh and bursting with flavor, the chef was engaging in conversation with us most of the time, he was very friendly making the meal more enjoyable. It's a very welcoming and private ambiance with excellent service.

24 courses! Yes plz! 4th time here & still as good as the 1st. - uzaku (eel & cucumber) 5/5 - Hokkaido live octopus (sad but good) 5/5 - new Zealand pink lobster (give me 10 of these!) 5/5 - Ruby snapper (so soft w/ a touch of Yuzu)5/5 - Halibut fin 5/5 - Squid 5/5 - Maine lobster - Santa Barbara uni (usually don't like Santa Barbara since it's too briny but this was so good) 5/5 ***got busy talking after this but here's the rest of list*** - isaki - sardine - Hokkaido scallop - kama collar - oysters - ankimo - kinmedi - giant clam - ikura - sawara - anago - lobster handroll - tamago You might get a little confused but you actually walk through Sugarfish and into a private room in the back. It's allowed hustle and bustle in the main restaurant but once you get into the room in the back it's incredibly quaint. Seating for only 10 people. Park at the Beverly Hills public parking. If you come after 8:00 it's a $5 flat rate otherwise it's increments that go up to $16 after 3 hours.
Be the first to ReplyWe at here a couple of years back so this review is
We at here a couple of years back so this review is somewhat overdue, but lately I've been thinking back to what a wonderful experience it was, of which I am reminded every time we go to the regular sugar fish. Don't get me wrong sugarfish is excellent, but this is a much more intimate sushi omakase experience. All of the fish was fresh and served by a single chef with precision at the same time for everyone. The restaurant has very few seats. It is in the back of the Beverly Hills Sugarfish, you would never guess it's there. Almost like a well kept secret.We even took some photos with the chef at the end. Excellent.

A fairly-priced (considering the high-end fish being presented) 20-course omakase hidden inside a far-more-pedestrian "white people sushi bar" in Beverly Hills. The decor is a little sparse, but the food speaks for itself, and while most of the cuts are very typical of a Michelin sushi tasting menu, there are some outstanding surprises. The Yamaimo Mentaiko Handroll - yam with roe - was a completely new flavor for me. And the tamago finale is amazing.

You can book out the bar for 10 people. We had 8. We had such a great time. The service was spectacular and the food was amazing! I was stuffed and gave my food away. Everyone enjoyed the experience and the conversation with the staff & chef. Highly recommend it!

The entire experience - from the food to the ambiance - was Phenomenal! Fresh fish and seafood, exquisite flavor combinations, a comfortable/intimate pleasant vibe, and accommodating support staff make this one of the only luxury omakase dining experiences in LA (so, of course, it's located in Beverly Hills, but parking wasn't a problem) This is my 3rd omakase this month and by far my favorite I've tried so far. If you're looking for a real high-end sushi experience (without frills), this is the place for you. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyThis was an amazing food experience.
This is our second time here and I was so much fun. We enjoyed every course and can't wait to do it again soon. We were able to snag a parking spot in the front meters. It was a rainy day but we didn't have to walk far. The sushi bar is inside the back of the restaurant and there are two seatings. We were so full at the end. Hope you get to experience it. Happy Yelping!

It's been almost 9 years since I last dined here and the quality of the fish, the attentive service and the overall ambiance has remained consistent.Dishes were served at a great pace, everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. Chef Fujita continues the legendary preparation, presentation and tradition that I have come to appreciate from Master Chef Kazunori Nozawa.The value is also on par, with 20-22 dishes at each seating you go away full and satisfied. It is clearly a place that is all about respecting the ingredients and it shows.I'm so glad that this place remains consistent and will be a semi-regular here now that I've returned to LA.A special call out to GM Suji Lee for her hospitality.

Oh wow, I had no idea what to expect going in, but this was truly an amazing experience. Truly such an intimate, elevated dining experience. This place is located at the BACK of Sugarfish which definitely confused me at first. It was mesmerizing to watch the sushi chefs to work the sushi bar with such discipline. The plates were decorated with precision and brought out in such a timely manner. Definitely worth to get a sake on the side as well!! It paired so well. Thank you to Chef Fujita for a memorable night! He definitely made everyone feel welcome at the bar which made us comfortable sharing stories and more about ourselves. Definitely had a couple Such an amazing and unique experience!! Every dish was so well thought out and delicious. I appreciate there were no basic frills like gold flakes. It was really all focused on the quality of the fish.
Be the first to ReplyMan oh man, this was a delight! All of the food was
Man oh man, this was a delight! All of the food was delicious! It was a very simple omakase with high quality fish and that's what makes it great. There were no fancy gold chunks or garnishes to cover up the delicious taste of the fish. Chef Fuji was quite pleasant and was able to talk about the fish and they also had suggestions on if you should use wasabi or not. About 70% of the fish are from Japan, so there's a high likelihood that you've never tried it before. Staff was also very attentive. Expect to spend about $225 per person.
Be the first to ReplyThe experience was just so fun and amazing.
A group of strangers, gathered with a common desire to enjoy sushi and get mesmerized (lost?) in the skill of a master sushi chef. I will certainly remember forever the experience and the meal. Laughs and stories were shared. Truly was an unforgettable night. I would definitely like to see my family and friends enjoy this too. Coursed meal with a well thought out sushi experience with great palate control. From bitter to sweet, its a rollercoaster ride. Loved every minute of it. Approx 2 hours...which just flew by.
Be the first to ReplyFun and memorable experience! Definitely one of the more
Fun and memorable experience! Definitely one of the more memorable omakase's I've had. We decided to have a splurge Christmas gift to ourselves - an omakase! From start to finish, the meal was delicious and I loved watching Chef Fujita and the team prepare our sushi! Chef Fujita was fun to chat with and he's funny! It was really a treat to watch his knife skills and craftsmanship. Each fish was really fresh and delicious. There were a few seafood items I've never had raw so that was an interesting experience. So just have an open mind when you eat here. Everything was plated beautifully too.The only thing is I felt the beginning of service was a little chaotic. They seemed really rush to get our fish to us and the chef reprimanded his helpers/apprentices (?) for assembling our plates too slow... they'd also remind customers to eat as quickly as possible for the freshest quality. Kind of the same as Sugarfish. I would imagine this would be traditional omakase experience you would have if I were in Japan. (I've never had an omakase in Japan). Also, don't show up late - they'll start without you! They are also strict with some of their booking policies like a rebooking fee.Overall a really enjoyable meal and probably one of my favorite omakases locally.

My parents were in town for Thanksgiving and they absolutely loved their meal last night at Nozawa Bar. Delicious and fresh sushi w great service. Highly recommend - Special thank you to Su Lee who helped make the night so special!
Be the first to ReplyI'm really confused by all the rave reviews for Nozawa Bar.
Of all the people I know who have been here, half of them love it and the other half say that it's basically Sugarfish with slightly fancier seafood. After dining here last night, I have to say that I agree with the latter. For the price they charge, I can recommend so many other omakase restaurants that provide better sushi and service.First off, their website clearly states that they are not interested in making any modifications or consideration for dietary restrictions. They also do not allow customers to BYOB - which threw me off when I saw that they literally had like 3 options available on their beverage menu, including a $25 glass of very overpriced Sancerre.When we arrived, the female hostess/manager (not sure what her role actually was) Sue was a little abrasive in her communication. When we arrived (5 minutes past our reservation time), there were a few other parties also waiting to be seated at Nozawa Bar, so I commented that I was relieved they didn't start without us. Sue responded (not in a joking manner), "We were actually going to start without you but too many of you are late." Later on, she broke a glass in the tiny Nozawa Bar and the chef asked her if she was alright. To which she said, "I sure hope so." We felt uncomfortable seeing how much she didn't want to be there.Now, down to the food. The fish-to-rice ratio had to be the worst I've ever seen - there was way too much rice and the chef does not form it properly, so it's basically a loose lump of rice that falls apart right when you pick up the sushi with chopsticks. Also, they use long grain rice instead of the high grade short grain rice most upscale sushi restaurants use. The seasoning tastes exactly the same as Sugarfish, so I'm assuming they use the same rice for both sides of the restaurant. I get full on rice easily, and since the restaurant's website already prefaced that they're not interested in making any modifications, I didn't bother asking if the chef could go light on rice for me. I would just eat whatever rice I am able to pick up with my chopsticks along with the fish and leave the remainder sitting on the plate. A few pieces in, the chef finally asked if I would like him to go easy on rice, followed by, "I usually don't listen, but I'll do it for you. No chef likes what you do, it's no good." This comment ruined my night as I would never ever leave rice on my plate at any sushi restaurant, but the fact that I was not allowed to request any modifications + the sushi was just so loosely formed it's impossible to be pick up in its entirety just left me no choice. I really did not appreciate this. Shari (rice) is the soul of sushi, which I felt the sushi at Nozawa Bar was sorely lacking. The sushi is also made in an assembly line manner - chef forms the rice, one assistant puts the sushi together, and another applies the soy sauce. I've never seen this whiling dining at the sushi bar - it feels impersonal, like the other aspects of this restaurant that makes it clear that they're not interested in providing a customer-centered experience. The cuts of seafood were fresh but nothing out of the ordinary. My favorites were the Pink Scampi appetizer and Kama Toro (both sashimi without rice). I think this place is worth a try once but there definitely won't be a second.
