Omakase By Osen - Los Angeles

When we arrived at 8 pm, our seat had been occupied. We have to wait outside for more than 20 minutes. The food is okay but not great. Overall, it's my worst omakase experience in my life.

I was still hungry when i left, food was in very small portions. The service was good, i guess it's all about the experience and the show rather than the portions and taste of the food. Not worth the amount of money they charge.

Was SHOCKED by the amazing service and food!!! Would 100% come back here. The service to begin with was more than expected, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. They made the experience worth it. The food... blew me away ? I was so happy by the end of the dinner and the omakase was delicious.

This was my first omakase experience and man did we do a good job picking a place! I found this place through the DineLA restaurants but wasn't able to attend last month due to covid and was able to reschedule our reservation for November. Every month they release a new menu and i believe it's 3 different types with different price points. We had picked the Hazuki but i think our waitress misheard us and we ended up doing the Uzuki one. We didn't realize it till we got to our last portion but no harm, as were able to try out the Miso Crab Salmon Caviar and the A5 Wagyu Beef. If i had to pick my favorite thing from the whole meal, it has to be the Miso Crab Salmon. It was sooooooo good, my husband ended up asking for one for himself after he saw me eating mine. The miso sauce was just so good and tangy and the crab filling with the salmon was just spot on. All of the sushi's were great and honestly only like 2 really needed like a little more sauce. I'm honestly not super good with the names, but the one with miso and the scallop sushi were definitely my favorite ones! The toro ikura caviar was so refreshing and flavorful. The A5 Wagyu was a little too chard for me on the outside but man it was like super buttery and juicy when you bit into it. Definitely super good! The Chawanmushi was so creamy and smooth, I'm not a huge steamed egg fan but it definitely had me looking it up online today trying to see if i could recreate it. For the desert i will say the matcha cheesecake was not it for me, it was missing something to it. I found that mixing it with the Coconut mango pudding made it taste better. But I'd opt for just the coconut pudding next time and that says a lot considering i don't like coconut hahah. The whole experience was very nice and the staff was very attentive and the wait was honestly perfect. I left feeling satisfied and not stuff. It was a great experience and would happily return to try the Hazuki Omakase. Definitely a 5/5. Solid ambiance, food and service!

Omakase by Osen is an elegant restaurant perfect for an exceptional evening of inventive and top-quality sushi. We opted for the sushi bar-side Omakase dinner, although they also offer table-side Omakase. Despite booking last minute, the staff were remarkably professional yet friendly, displaying deep knowledge and attentiveness. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel incredibly important, promptly seating us even though we arrived 20 minutes early.Our dinner included a delightful progression of 16 courses. While they do offer sake pairings, we chose to order our own sake and beer, creating our own sake bombs. The restaurant is not excessively large, but it strikes a comfortable balance in size. The ambiance is just right, facilitating engaging conversations during dinner. I don't recall any background music, as the overall atmosphere already exuded a fantastic vibe.This was my first visit, and it certainly won't be my last. If you're a sushi enthusiast eager to experience Omakase, I wholeheartedly recommend Omakase by Osen. Booking was a breeze, and the pricing was reasonable, making it a memorable dining choice.
