Lest you think this is only about the price of fish, the lunch teriyaki/tempura combo has also gone up from $11.80 to $16.80. The most egregious is uni from $10/piece to $15/piece. Some examples: yellowtail from $3/piece to $4/piece halibut likewise from $2.80/piece to $4/piece. Almost all the nigiri by the piece has gone up in price by at least 30% as well. The deluxe combo has gone up from $50 to $65 the lunch omakase from $60 to $80. Here are some of the increases for comparison: the basis lunch sushi combo has gone from $19.80 to $29.80. A nearly identical meal eaten a year previous had cost $185 with tax and tip. So, what are my reservations about the price? Well, with tax and tip the total came to $258.72. Service was friendly and present when needed. Scroll down for thoughts on service and my reservations about the price. My picks of this bunch were the kanpachi, all three silvery/oily fish, the hotate and the uni.įor a look at the restaurant, menu and what we ate, click on a pic below to launch a larger slideshow. My assortment comprised the following: hirame/halibut, kanpachi/amberjack, hamachi/yellowtail, sake/salmon, kohada/gizzard shad, iwashi/sardine, aji/Japanese horse mackerel (billed as Spanish mackerel on the menu), saba/mackerel, hotate/scallop, Santa Barbara uni/sea urchin genitalia, ikura/salmon roe. The lunch sushi combo included the following: albacore, salmon, kanpachi/amberjack, maguro/tuna, ika/squid, hamachi//yellowtail, ebi/shrimp and tamago/egg. I put together a nigiri assortment for myself, along with some bonus pieces for the missus (uni) and the older boy (ikura). The three lunch combos came with miso soup and salad. He liked all of his food very much and in a shocker particularly liked the salad, or more accurately, the salad dressing: he ate it all!. The younger boy, who thankfully is not as committed to the sushi lifestyle as his brother, got the lunch teriyaki-tempura combo and also got two pieces of salmon nigiri on the side.

Please note that I am not complaining.Įverything else was as expected: the older boy and the missus both got an order each of the lunch sushi combo: 8 pcs of nigiri plus tuna roll. But, in fact, we ended up with two large appetizer orders of ankimo, each with 4 thick pieces. Two, I said, thinking that meant we were being offered ankimo in sushi form. She came back and said he would indeed be happy to serve us some and asked if we wanted one order or two. I asked if she could possibly see if the chef would be willing to spare some for pilgrims from Minnesota who are denied such pleasures there. At the time of ordering I asked if they had any and our server told us they did but it was reserved for dinner. What did we eat? We started with some ankinmo/monkfish liver. It’s a slightly crowded main dining room-there’s also a smaller private room off to the side and a few seats at the sushi bar. All of that is now in the past in Los Angeles, and we were inside. The last time we were at Nozomi-almost exactly a year earlier-they had, like many other places, tented outdoor seating on the go and that’s where we’d sat. The price, however, was not what we’d hoped/expected it would be-more on this below.
Nozomi is an altogether more reliable prospect though and I am pleased to report that our eventual meal there-lunch the next day-was just as good as we’d hoped it would be.
But Sun Country screwed us over and we ended up eating dim sum instead at the new Torrance outpost of Lunasia (a meal that was good but not as good as I’d expected it might be). Lunch at Sushi Nozomi was supposed to be our first meal in Los Angeles this December, to be eaten on our way from LAX to Seal Beach.
