MASAKAZU 1911 Westwood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90025

"I had reservations that I had to re-schedule due to sickness. I called multiple times to speak to someone and I emailed them 5 times. They refuse to respond after the first email and not only did they decline my request to reschedule but charged me the full price.. I paid $350 for nothing. I am currently filing a lawsuit against this shady business."

"Loved it! True authentic place with passionate team and excellent fish. Thank you"

"The experience wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t go back. When I pay a certain amount for an omakase, I expect exceptional experience but my experience was meh to mediocre. The sushi was small with thin slices, minced cucumber placed on top of the fish didn’t pair well with some and most importantly, some fish didn’t taste fresh. Now that I’m thinking back on the details of my experience, I’m more disappointed. Oh, they charge you for hot tap water."

"I cannot express how amazing this meal was. Shin is an amazing chef. His humble, funny, and kind chat made our dinner. Not a single piece of sushi wasn’t perfect. Many changed how I thought of sushi. Highlights were the black snapper (cured with kelp), ebi, bluefin, and sea breem. Japanese mackerel was perfect. It’s wonderfully chill and homey inside. Well worth twice the price. Couldn’t imagine another trip to LA without visiting. Would give 6 stars if possible."

"Excellent value and quality. It's a hidden gem on Westwood and requires reservations. They serve the entire room at once and are very strict on punctuality. It's so worth it though."
