Completely mind-blown by the level of service and experience at Chef Hilo’s Omakase! The food, the vibe, and Chef Hilo himself? Absolutely unmatched.
It feels like dining in his own kitchen intimate but never too serious. He’ll have you laughing nonstop all night while serving A5 Wagyu over rice.
At one point I flexed that I was a Yelp Black Elite… and Chef Hilo clapped back with, “Well, I’m an Amex Black Card holder” then proceeded to buy me a shot of sake. Legendary.
Perfect for date night, girls’ night, or even solo dining. Forget the rest this is THE Omakase you need to try. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
PSA: Make a reservation. And show up on time! NOT an hour early or late. Don’t be rude. This isn’t Cheesecake The whole dinner service is timed meticulously. Play by his rules and you’ll have the best time ever!

Chef Hilo has created a multi sensory omakase experience that blew away our expectations. We went for my partner’s birthday and did Omakase A, and as people who don’t usually spend a ton of money on restaurants this was worth the splurge for the special occasion. The matching of the background orchestral music to the different courses, the amazing flavors in each serving, the visual atmosphere itself, even the water was surprisingly an elite water (who knew that was possible), and of course Chef Hilo himself and his stories and information sharing, it all came together for a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this gem to anyone.

We had the opportunity to visit LA and were looking for a fantastic omakase restaurant. After some searching, we decided to try HiLo. At first, we were a bit hesitant because they had very few reviews, so we approached it with an open mind and no high expectations.
However, words can’t describe how incredible the experience was—everything was flawless, from the staff to the food. I have never had omakase this fresh; I could literally taste the essence of the ocean in every bite.
After the meal, we even got to chat a little with the chef, who shared stories about his life and career. This was truly an unforgettable experience for us, and we will definitely return and recommend it to everyone visiting LA.
If you have the chance to try it, please leave them a review so more people can enjoy this amazing cuisine together!

The term “expert” is earned, and Hilo has definitely earned it. From homemade soy sauce to globally-sourced fish, Hilo’s Omakase is perhaps the best around. You’ll have cuts of fish you’ve never seen as sashimi, with unique garnishes for each. You won’t find a California roll here, nor will you be served yesterday’s fish; it’s fresh and authentic all the way. After a short interview of your likes and dislikes, Hilo will present you a custom Omakase until you’re 100% full and satisfied.
If you consider yourself a sushi connoisseur, or want to be introduced to a wider range of sushi, or have specific food allergies that make other sushi dinners challenging, Hilo is your man!

The most delicious, tasteful sushi! The experience, the service, everything was incredible. The chef explained every plate he served. Where the fish came from.
Great vibe and is super casual. I can’t wait to go back.

I recently had an amazing and unique lunch experience with Chef Hilo. He puts such delicate care and thought into each and every dish. The flavors are unlike any other sushi restaurants I’ve been to. This is unlike your normal sushi restaurants that just churn out many of the same recipes/dishes. The sauces are all made in house and using only high-quality ingredients starting from the fish. The variety of fish was also amazing…he served Wild Faro Island salmon, ocean trout, Hawaiian amberjack belly, pink snapper, Italian blue fin toro, East coast halibut, Albacore from Fiji, king snapper, long fin tuna from Maui and the most delicious uni from Santa Cruz. From my understanding on talking with Hilo, you’ll rarely get the same set of sushi each visit. He’s constantly creating. This place is truly a hidden gem!

Best sushi in Los Angeles along with the best chef and dining experience. Would give more stars if I could, certainly will be coming back. MUST try if you are visiting LA or Beverly Hills – Chef Hilo is excellent!

When it comes to Omakase, Hilo stole my heart today. I’ve indulged and have had some of the best Sushi Los Angeles has to-offer both Omakase and À la cart. But Chef Hilo took it to the next level with his artistic touch and flavors that can only be described by the experience itself. The Japanese Red Snapper, trio Oysters, Hawaiian Kahala and pretty much everything he served still has me wanting more! Even offering Sapporo on draft!!

Chef Hilo was a joy to have as a host! Hilo was more than willing to accommodate dietary restrictions and the Omakase A course was delicious, well paired and paced.

One of the things I really missed during the pandemic was really really GOOD sushi omakase while sitting at a traditional tiny sushi joint. This is one of three I really wanted to try since before the shutdown. It came highly recommended by my Japanese foodie friends. Glad I was in the area and their only outdoor table was available for dinner time. Oishii desu ka!! Fresh & delicious.
Oh they house-made their sushi shoyu!! Reservation is recommended as they are really tiny. Otherwise, you can order for contactless pick up or delivery. Note: This is an traditional, old school, Japanese sushi joint. In Japan culture, Sushi is serious. Service was warm & kind. This place reminds me the unassuming, tiny sushi joints in Japan. Chef prepared today’s freshest catch. Eat them the way they were prepared and presented to you. That’s the non-verbal compliment you can give to the chef. Support mom & pop small restaurants!
