Urasawa - Beverly Hills

I’ve been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world, including several in Japan, and I know Japanese cuisine very well — at least as a dedicated aficionado, if not a chef. But as many Japanese restaurants that I’ve been to, I was still so amazed and impressed by Chef Urasawa-san. The variety, creativity and beautiful simplicity of his offerings, including his nigiri, was just wonderful. The truffle ice-cream was out of the world — I said “wow” at least 15 times while eating it, and I was speechless afterwards, that’s how great it was. Every single dish was of the highest quality, and the chef’s meticulous attention to details showed in every single dish. I felt like I was in Japan for the entire time I was there! It’s really amazing to have this quality of restaurant in LA. It’s the kind of restaurant you’d only expect to find in Tokyo, NYC, or Paris! It was more than worth the cost; in fact,some restaurants cost even more money but they are not nearly as great as this one. I can’t wait to go back. Bravo to chef Urasawa, I bow to your mastery!

Pero como muchos restaurantes japoneses en los que he estado, todavía estaba tan asombrado e impresionado por el chef Urasawa-san. La variedad, creatividad y hermosa sencillez de sus ofrendas, incluido su nigiri, fue simplemente maravillosa. El helado de trufa estaba fuera del mundo: dije wow al menos 15 veces mientras lo comía, y después me quedé sin palabras, así de genial fue. Cada plato fue de la más alta calidad, y la atención meticulosa del chef a los detalles se mostró en cada plato. ¡Sentí que estaba en Japón todo el tiempo que estuve allí! Es realmente increíble tener esta calidad de restaurante en Los Ángeles. ¡Es el tipo de restaurante que solo esperarías encontrar en Tokio, Nueva York o París! Valió más que la pena el costo; de hecho, algunos restaurantes cuestan incluso más dinero, pero no son tan buenos como este. No puedo esperar a regresar. ¡Bravo al chef Urasawa, me inclino ante tu maestría!

Is the fish fresh? Yep. Can you get varieties here that are not widely available? Sure can. Is the A5 Waygu tasty? Indeed. Are there hundreds of restaurants around the world with more inventive food that is tastier and served in a better environment? Absolutely. Urasawa, like the Ginza Sushi Ko before it (now Masa's in NYC Columbus Circle) is great Japanese. But great Japanese is roughly the equivalent of 1 Michelin star French at 10x the price. So, if you want to go, don't whine about the cost enjoy the experience once or don't bother. Kind of like extreme molecular gastronomy. It is what it is. If you are looking for amazing cuisine, IMO, you should never be looking for Japanese. Just IMO.

If you love sushi and want an amazing experience that you will remember forever, this is the place to go. This really is the end all be all of any meal, period. It is the reason why I want to be rich. So that I could eat here once a month for the rest of my life. My only complaint was that I felt like it was so much amazingness packed in to one night and I wished I could break it up into four different meals and go for an hour a night for four nights so I could draw out the savoring of every melt-in-your-mouth piece. It was incredible fish and service but just so much food, and i can eat a lot. I will be back, though, for another special occasion soon. I think the bill was around 700 for 2 of us, with a bottle of sake. Every morsel of fresh fish was delightful.

Es la razón por la que quiero ser rico. Para poder comer aquí una vez al mes por el resto de mi vida. Mi única queja fue que sentí que había tanta maravilla en una sola noche y deseaba poder dividirla en cuatro comidas diferentes e ir durante una hora por noche durante cuatro noches para poder saborear cada derretimiento. pieza en la boca. Fue un pescado y un servicio increíbles, pero tanta comida, y puedo comer mucho. Volveré, sin embargo, para otra ocasión especial pronto. Creo que la factura fue de alrededor de 700 para 2 de nosotros, con una botella de sake. Cada bocado de pescado fresco era una delicia.

Just an amazing dinner experience in a minimalistic chic setting. A must when in LA and Rodeo Drive. Urasawa delivers inventive sushi using only top fresh produce. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!

If you love sushi then you need to experience Urasawa. We went with a party of 4 and were seated in front of our sushi chef. The sushi chef spent the next 2 hours making delicacies just for our party one by one. He would carefully examine each cut of fish, discarding it if it did not meet his expectations. As you are served by an attentive staff you will be instructed on how to eat your sushi for maximum flavor. The flavors are mind blowing! You will experience an extensive range of the freshest fish and flavors. You will also try sushi with things like Kobe beef and even mushrooms. I should mention over the 2 hours you will be severed close to 30 courses. Please go here with an empty stomach. If it's to much food, tell the chef and he will accommodate. The resturant only seats about 12 people so reservations far in advance are needed. I should also mention it is fairly pricy, close to $500 per person. But I promise you need this experience at least once in your life!
