Sushi Takeda

Sushi Takeda is easily one of the best omakase experiences in downtown Los Angeles. Chef Takeda brings an incredible mix of precision, warmth, and traditional technique that makes every course feel special. The ingredients are unbelievably fresh, the pacing is perfect, and the flavors are clean, refined, and deeply memorable. We also appreciated how balanced and approachable the menu is, with a nice mix of warm and hot dishes. The experience never feels intimidating and the food is beautifully prepared with absolute care. Chef Hide San is also incredibly friendly, humble and passionate about his craft which makes for a great experience from start to finish. Located on the third floor of Weller Court in Little Tokyo, Sushi Takeda is a hidden gem that is perfect for an elegant edomae style

My fiancee and I came for the omakase course and it was literally So GOOD. Showed up at our reservation time and got seated right at the bar where the chef was making real life magic. I can't recommend it enough. It's a small bar for about 8 people, so make sure to check for availability online. We did the $180 omakase menu and it was worth EVERY PENNY. They don't validate parking, unfortunately but that's ok.

Authentic Edomae style sushi omakase. All staff are very friendly. The food is amazing!

Such a special experience for a first sushi omakase! As of July 2025, lunch omakase was $110 per person and we received a total of 17 nigiri and side dishes. The variety we were given at that price was astounding! Each individual plate ranged from very good to stellar bites! Many favorites throughout the lunch; the seared tuna nigiri and tuna belly, both fried whitefish, rice stuffed squid, fish custard, and especially the uni and fish eggs. Even the prepared rice was lovely every bite! The lunch was paced well and the courses flowed start to finish ending with very satisfied and quite full patrons. I have only praise for our lunch along with the service and atmosphere. Very welcoming to us, very attentive staff, and we didn't feel out of place just wearing casual clothes. We went on a Tu

Amazing omakase, best one I tried in Los Angeles, Aji was phenomenal, chef was very good at his craft, nice small intimate setting which I loved, highly recommended
