Umaya LA, on Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, is led by chef NaO Sugiyama, who sets both the kaiseki and Edomae sushi courses on offer here. The menu moves between the two disciplines, pairing seasonal kaiseki dishes with sushi service in the same sitting.
The restaurant runs two seatings on most weekdays: a lunch service from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and dinner from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday, and Saturday is dinner-only.
Reservations are handled through OpenTable, and booking ahead is advisable given the limited seating typical of omakase counters. Umaya LA sits in the Upscale price tier, reflecting a multi-course kaiseki and sushi format rather than a quick meal.
Diners can reach the restaurant by phone at (323) 997-4349 for questions not covered on the OpenTable listing, such as dietary accommodations or walk-in availability.
