Jinpachi

Chefs kiss! My husband and I love quality places. It’s pricey but worth it. The fish is so fresh and the chefs are very talented. Honestly better than some Michelin places I’ve been to. This is better than your average sushi but accessible. The atmosphere and vibes are also very cool. Intimate, chic, and relaxed space. Grab a seat at the sushi bar if you can!

Jinpachi is some of the best quality and best prepared sushi in Los Angeles. The chefs were very talented and friendly and enjoyed explaining the preparation of each fish. This is the type of sushi ya that carefully adds a little flavor to each piece of sushi and it works phenomenally. The atmosphere is slightly upscale but still relaxed and intimate. Despite the great quality we were a little disappointed that their online menu was not up to date. The prices in restaurant are twice as much as was listed online. I realize this isn’t necessarily the restaurants fault, nor the chef or staff but we weren’t able to order as much as we had hoped to. Additionally, 10 pieces of sushi, a miso soup and 1 drink (beer) ran us $125 per person with tip.

This is an effortlessly chic sushi restaurant. Healthy mix of couples, friends and solo eaters. It’s easy to sink into the dark wooded, close quarters venue with soft jazz as background noise behind the bustling of the staff. Infatuation will tell you to order the crispy rice with spicy tuna and sushi moriawise, which a lot of folks were getting. If you have the $200/person (after tax and tip), it’s a special omakase. The ocean trout with kelp is non-pareil, sweet and umami flavors. Worth a visit.

Very delicious sushi spot that just blends in with majority of the closed shops near it, especially since the entrance was roped off as if it was actually closed, from the outside. If you’re looking for a kikkoman soy sauce spot, this isn’t for you. Ordered two carpaccios, one with fresh wasabi and ponzu, can’t remember the fish, and another carpaccio, think either halibut or albacore, that had yuzu juice and mushroom and those two dishes were phenomenal. Every bite was simply amazing and irresistible. Great fish quality, not a single piece was questionable in appearance, texture, taste; the quality was delicious. The assorted tempura was crunchy, the batter didn’t disintegrate when you dipped it and didn’t break up when you were biting it. A delicious batter that kept its integrity and

This restaurant is truly a gem. I dined here in April and it has been unforgettable since. The owner and his team are masters at their craft. An amazing dining experience!
