apparently this place has been open for more than 20 years, but it only recently came onto our radar and I’m so glad it did. we walked in right at noon for lunch, just as they opened. the host asked if we had a reservation, and since we didn’t, she took a few seconds to decide where to seat us. at first, I thought that was a bit odd, considering we were the very first guests and few minutes later, people started trickling in and the restaurant quickly filled up. while reservations aren’t required, i’d definitely recommend making one.
as for the food, the fish quality is excellent and very fresh. The nigiri portions are on the smaller side; I just wish the cuts were a tad thicker to make them perfect. that said, everything was well-prepared and flavorful. my husband, who doesn’t eat raw fish at all, really enjoyed the rock shrimp and the tempura hand roll, which is a great option for non-sushi eater.
one thing to note is parking as it is valet only, even if you park and retrieve your car yourself. overall, a solid dining experience and a spot we’d happily return to.

Sushi and sashimi are wonderful! I really wish I could give 5 star but the pork jowl was way too salty. It comes with a sauce too but it’s already too salty & spicy before adding the sauce. Really regret I ordered it (since it’s so strong it’s harder for me to enjoy the subtleties of the sashimi flavor)
The sashimi chef selection is a good option! It says 8 pieces but comes out to be about 12 for me.
Yuzu cheesecake is really amazing too! It’s a great combo, and there are small pieces of yuzu in the cake, not just the flavor.
I made reservation ahead of time. Highly recommend reservation at peak dining times.

I work walking distance from this restaurant so I decided to stop in this past Thursday for lunch and I’m very happy that I did so. It’s quite large on the inside and has plenty of table or sushi bar seating options. It’s tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center with limited parking attached, however it never seems to be full and free street neighborhood parking on the side street is easy to find as well. It’s quite hard to spot, just look for the large wooden door otherwise you would easily miss it driving by. My server was very attentive and everything that I ordered came out pretty quick.
They have a very large menu that has a lot of great options on it. I ended up going with the SUSHI MORIAWASE which is 2 albacore, 2 salmon, 2 yellowtail, 1 tuna, 1 white fish, and 1 spicy toro roll for $39 and really enjoyed it. It also came with a miso soup and salmon skin salad and I really enjoyed both. They were a really pleasant treat at lunch. The sushi was also great, especially the albacore, and I already want to stop in again to try more items. I would recommend for lunch or dinner and feel it is a solid recommendation to any sushi fan.

If you are a sushi or sushi roll lover, this is the place to go and enjoy some delicious sushi or some delicious rolls. If you are in this area, you really cannot miss the morning menu. It has very good Japanese-style combos for a very good price. And if you like, in the afternoon you can enjoy an omakase. The prices are very affordable, compared to other places. This place is really better. Well, for me, after all, sushi is just sushi.

Hamasaku offers solid non-traditional Sushi in Westwood.
There are plenty of sushi restaurants in the area but Hamasaku definitiley offers a good balance of price and and quality. You can find better at a higher price and lesser at a lower price but not much at this mid range in this neighborhood so it makes it a great choice when you want something nice but not necessarily something extravagant or a multi hour omakase.
The nigiri and sashimi are definitley great quality and well prepared (the snow trout was a personal favorite). Many dishes like the tacos, tostadas and soba salad are of course very non traditional but are well executed and offer a creative take. The sake menu is surprisingly expansive with more options than often seen at higher end Japanese restaurants so its on opportunity to sample.
Service is fast efficient and attentive without being overbearing or making you feel rushed.
Parking is available with valet out front.

I’ve been dying to try this place since the pandemic. Finally. Did it meet my expectations? Mostly.
HIDDEN. Because the restaurant is located in the downstairs corner unit, its somewhat hidden. But I gave 4.5 stars for the nice modern Japanese decor and atmosphere.
FOOD. Dinner omakase $130. Hmm, I thought the food was really good, but nothing that really shouted “Wow!” But for the Westside, it’s about right. The pieces of fish were small, but at least the rice for the nigiri was still warm (nice.) But the competition for quality and value is tough out here in WestLA/Santa Monica.
The omakase ended with a nice yuzu sorbet. Perfect ending.
Sake: they sell a variety of sake by the glass or by a carafe (iced.) I trust they are serving me the right cold sake that I ordered. The serving size was smaller than I expected.

Very nice high quality sushi place with a friendly bustling atmosphere, very home like yet elegant. Best dish by far was the avenue of stars roll. Every bite you take of that roll you can tell it’s really high quality. Ricky castle roll and September flower are also pretty good but I would say they are not worth the price. Black cod tastes really good and tender but is also not worth the price with the tiny quantity of fish you get. Yellowtail collar is cheaper but the fish texture is definitely worse than the black cod, with some areas of the meat being pretty tough. The wagyu roll is pretty good and very creative! Overall, a pretty creative and high quality sushi place.

Didn’t know this is a Michelin guide restaurant and was impressed with the creativity and quality of the rolls! Every roll we tried was great. Would highly recommend Avenue of Stars if it’s on the menu. Besides the different types of fish inside and outside of the roll, it even has different toppings on each of the 8 pieces. The mushroom and the peppers were mediocre.

Straightforward Japanese style sushi bar. Omakase is excellent. Prices are reasonable for what you get, and the service is great. When I lived in LA, I came for special occasions. Now, I visit every time I am in LA.
