We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Q! Without question we had some of the best sushi of our lives, if not one of the best meals of our lives period! Chef Hiro does bravura work - it is a treat to watch a master work, and his wife, Kyoko, is incredibly attentive and polite in her service.
The fish is all from Japan and the 18 courses are diverse, well-balanced, and chosen incredibly thoughtfully. This is not an establishment where they are going to drown the fish in sauces. But when Chef does use sauce, it is exceptionally well prepared and complements the dish perfectly. The speed and volume of the meal was spot-on - leaving us full but totally comfortable. And the sake recommended by chef paired wonderfully with the entire meal.
The ambience of the restaurant is excellent and put us in the perfect relaxed headspace for enjoying Chef’s meal. There is a lovely warmth, intimacy, and elegance to the design and decor of the space that feels totally upscale and completely unobtrusive. It is quiet but with enough classical music audible to not feel “flat”. The spacing between patrons/groups was very comfortable and it was very easy to have a conversation and shift about in my seat without feeling like I was intruding on anyone else’s experience. After a stressful day, it was absolutely perfect!
While I understand that some folks might never think it is justified to spend $300 per person (before drinks), we felt the price point fairly reflected the meal and attention to detail given — and is well in-line with comparable establishments throughout Los Angeles.
If you are looking for a traditional Omakase that is focused on quality fish and technique, and not gold leaf and bone-marrow (though there’s certainly a time and a place for that haha), you would be hard-pressed to find a better meal in Los Angeles. Highly recommended and definitely plan on returning in the future!
