Shunji Japanese Cuisine

Shunji balances sushi & hot dishes at an attainable price in an old Depression-era chili restaurant . The sashimi plate, nigiri sushi , and tomato agadashi are worth the admission fee. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Everything is amazing, but definitely try the Tomato Tofu . It's incredibly good and very unique. Omakase or Sushi Special is a great deal for the money. Vegetable and cooked dishes are very good.

I have never dined in the countryside of Japan, but Shunji is what I would expect to find if I did. It was not unrefined, quite the opposite in fact -- it was understated elegance! A must when in LA..

Shunji takes a vegetable-centric approach to sushi in a former barbecue and chili joint in West L.A. Shunji wields incredible fish and produce in a way that's only possible in L.A.

Best omakase I have had in LA so far. Pricey , but worth the treat compared to others. Tomato tofu , squid ink truffled egg , and toro platter are three of the top sushi dishes I have ever had.

The epitome of LA dining: an exquisite sushi restaurant housed in a giant stucco chili bowl situated a few car lengths from a freeway overpass. Put yourself in the sushi chef’s hands. Read more

Chef Shunji spends as much time on tomatoes (his agedashi tomato tofu ), as he does on octopus and Dungeness crab . Be just as mindful when working your way through all seven varieties of snapper .

The sushi is different every day, but the omakase will invariably include a species or two new to you. Read more

Shunji will open for lunch , Mon-Fri, from noon to 2 PM, starting Tuesday, October 1, 2013. They will also be open for dinner on Sundays starting in October.

One of the best Japanese restaurant of the country . Very nice and unpretentious atmosphere , too!

French and Californian cuisines inflect chef Shunji Nakao's contemporary Japanese cooking. For the full experience, order the omakase . Read more

Not for a Sushi novice or the non adventurous. Don't come up in here with the intention to order and dictate but bow down and be schooled by Samuri masters under the tutelage of Mr. Shunji. "Omakase "!

Extremely limited vegan/vegetarian options

Top sushi with pleasant ambiance. Service efficient and courteous.

Not just a sushi bar . You expect expensive wild sea bream to be treated reverently at a sushi bar . You do not expect the same care to be taken with a carrot . Read more

Amazing! Be brave and go for the omakase ! It was amazing!

Named Best Sushi Los Angeles 2014 in our 2014 Best of LA issue! Read more

All the sashimi here is great!

An oasis of calm and lights out Japanese cuisine

Everything.

At these prices, you'd think they could finish painting the ceiling/soffit

We got the Japanese Style Tasting for $100 per person and it includes this very special dessert ! 4 fruits ! Lol! Go to Asanebo and get your money's worth!

From FL, best Japanese food ever!

Best Japanese restaurant in LA

Not worth the money and not even close to what you would get at other top japanese restaurants such as urusawa, sushi zo or asanebo .

Одно из лучших заведений в стиле маленьких домашних японских ресторанов . Удивило тофу из томатов ! А также мороженое с трюфелем и и с обжаренным чаем . Обязательно побалуйте себя саке Kimura!

Сашими свежайшее ! Отдельный кайф сидеть за стойкой и смотреть как работает ваш суши шеф .

とっても美味しいです! Tasting menuをいただいたのですが日本酒 にあう繊細 な季節のお料理とお寿司 、とっても美味しかったです。
