Getting into Sushi Kaneyoshi, by far the most upscale sushi option in Little Tokyo, is a battle. Not only making the reservation but physically entering the premises. You'll have to wander through a hotel lobby, buzz in, and descend a staircase to what looks like a dungeon lair that happens to serve a $300 omakase to 10 people per night. Each meal includes 20 courses of appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri, all prepared behind an elegant wood sushi counter. Expect to be seated next to serious ballers who don't blink at dropping several hundred on a bottle of sake. Kaneyoshi is clearly tailored towards Edo-style sushi purists, but your meal will involve some of the most flat-out delicious bites of seafood in LA, like the seared saba handroll or the fatty tuna sprinkled with flaky sea salt "snow."
