Mori Nozomi’s all-female team brings a unique perspective to this ancient craft, blending respect for tradition with innovative techniques. Every part of each dish is a carefully composed harmony of flavors, textures, and visual appeal, designed to showcase the natural beauty of the seasonal fish sourced from Toyosu Market, Japan and seasonal vegetables chosen from local Santa Monica’s Farmers Market.
“Just go here. They are amazing. Best omakase sushi in LA. The concept is fantastic, service is even better, and they genuinely understand what makes sushi good. Honest criticism: The tamago was a bit subpar against how amazing the rest was. Secondly some may be off put by the slightly cold lighting, yet I think they are wrong in such an assessment. Sure it isn’t perfect for Instagram but it highlights the food better.”
“the omakase sushi experience here was magical. the whole all-women team worked together with symphonic perfection. each dish, as well as the progression through the 25 course meal, was balanced, delicious, and well thought out. the tea pairing with certain courses was so unique -- one tea was a very rare and special second-pick tea, which had a lovely smooth but assertive flavor. and the chilled black tea was deliciously floral. we not only enjoyed remote and local ingredients, but learned a lot along the way. reservations required, and it books up quickly. huge thanks to Chef Nozomi and the team 🙏”
“A true experience, amazing staff, Chef is truly magical. We came to LA for a concert and was fortunate enough to be able to get a reservation several weeks before coming to LA. Highly recommend the Tea pairing.”
“Chef Nozomi is remarkable. You can taste her passion and see how much care she puts into every aspect of the omakase. Her dedication to the food and service is unlike any other.”
“My experience at Mori Nozomi was the most fun I’ve ever had eating sushi. Chef is so friendly and fun! The courses are the best I’ve had and each staff member was so attentive. We left feeling like family!”
