2. Q Sushi
The Michelin star winner helmed by chef Hiroyuki Naruke provides a traditional omakase experience in an intimate locale. While there are tables, the real action is at the 10-seat sushi bar where you’ll be served piece after piece of flawless fish. With only two seatings per night, a visit will require a bit of planning to assure a place, but we guarantee the experience is well worth the wait. DTLA, 213.225.6285
