Sushi Nakazawa LA occupies a single counter at 145 Robertson Blvd, seating just 10 guests per service. Chef Kazuhiro Shida, trained in the lineage of Sushi Yoshitake, runs the 15-course Edomae omakase himself, with no private room and no separate lunch service. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin guide.
Dinner runs about 120 minutes and is priced at $300 per person, with an optional sake pairing available for an additional $50. The menu is presented in English, and dress code is smart casual rather than formal. Payment is not restricted to cash.
Reservations run through Tock, and the restaurant is generally booked out around a month in advance, making it a hard seat to secure without planning ahead. Service is offered Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm to 11pm; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Diners can also call ahead at (310) 953-3221 to check availability or ask about waitlist openings before booking online.
The counter format means the full sitting is with the chef and a small group of fellow diners, so arriving on time matters given the fixed 15-course structure and the two-hour seating window. Those wanting the sake pairing should mention it when booking, since it's an add-on rather than a default part of the menu.
