Sugarfish on 7th Street, downtown Los Angeles, applies the late Kazunori Nozawa Trust-Me set menu format to a casual sit-down room since 2012.
OrderThe Trust Me set: tuna sashimi, salmon and yellowtail nigiri, toro hand roll.
TipThe Trust Me Lite is the better-value set for one; rice is warm, vinegar pronounced, fish room temperature.
KazuNori on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles is the original temaki handroll bar, with the five-roll set delivered within 30 seconds of rolling.
OrderThe five-roll set: blue crab, scallop, lobster, yellowtail and toro in sequence.
TipWalk-in only, the line moves once a seat opens; eat each handroll within 30 seconds, the nori loses snap fast.
Sushi Note on Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, pairs traditional edomae sushi with a 90-deep natural-wine list, a Valley counter that books two weeks ahead.
OrderChef-selection omakase with a pour of grower Champagne from the deep wine list.
TipThe 90-bottle natural-wine list is the real reason to choose Sushi Note over its peers; ask the server for guidance.
Sushi Tama on Robertson Boulevard, Beverly Grove, is Chef Hideyuki Yoshimoto's Tsukiji-trained omakase room serving fish flown in from Japan three times.
OrderThe omakase with hirame, kinmedai, uni and toro flown in from Toyosu market three times a week.
TipChef Yoshimoto trained at Tsukiji; the omakase is shorter than the chef-counter rivals but the fish is unmatched.
Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis's Arts District room set the tone for downtown LA's modern Italian cooking in 2012 and still pulls bookings six weeks out.
OrderCavatelli alla Norcina with house pork sausage and black truffle.
TipBook six weeks out for prime time; bar seats walk-in only from 17:30, and the menu is the same as the dining room.
Walter and Margarita Manzke's Republique in Los Angeles serves pastries, lunch and a French-Californian dinner from a 1928 commissary on La Brea Avenue.
OrderThe kouign-amann at breakfast, then the half roast chicken at dinner.
TipPastry counter opens at 08:00 weekends; queue forms by 09:30. The dinner side reopens at 17:30 with a separate menu and easier walk-ins.
