    First timers should always try the "Trust me" - a great assortment sampler - a perfect meal. Then, I also recommend the large scallop sushi and the eel. Did you know Nozawa makes his own Soy Sauce!

    Really good sushi. All of it top quality. I kind of long for this style of sushi when I'm in NY. Get the Trust Me and then if you still want more pick ala carte. All of it is excellent.

    Trust me lite is my go-to, but make sure to try the albacore belly. Doesn't get better than that! Austin, Monica, Will, the whole staff is incredibly friendly. They more than earn their 16% grat.

    The "Trust Me" combinations are all pretty amazing overall. The disjointed nature of their delivery created a touch of anticipation and satisfied hunger with every plate they brought.

    The sushi here just melts in your mouth! The tips they give you about what pieces to add (or not add) the different sauces are worth heeding. Your mouth will be happy you came!

    Yeah, I know I'm basic but it is really good. Just order the Trust Me, I had the mid-sized one and was properly full afterwards. Really fun to have multiple courses come out at once.

    The sushi here is so soft and tender. I didn't even know that was a thing. Try their "trust me" special. So good. 😍

    I only had sashimi but it was some of the best/freshest fish I've ever had. It didn't need any extra sauces either, it came ready and delicious.

    Trust. Lives up to the hype. Don't like to automatically pay at on top of the %16 tip? Order to go, sit by fountain outside…and tip the friendly staff as you see fit.

    Trust me, it's amazing! I'm addicted to Sugarfish. I swear they put crack in their rice. Make sure to sign up to get a free trust me on your birthday!

    If you don’t like raw, this place still has amazing options. Get the Blue Crab and Lobster roll. The Unagi pieces are the beat I ever had.

    First visit here lived up to expectations. The Trust Me menu was a solid choice to sample lots of different options for a reasonable price.

    The highest quality sushi on the west side. Not your normal spot though, very selective menu and no special requests. They make new rice every 30 minutes! No reservations so plan on a wait

    The fish is high quality and the rice is also amazing. A high value sushi place. They are either understaffed or disorganized as many orders come out wrong and there are avoidable mistakes.

    Busy location, limited seating & TERRIBLE parking BUT the fish is fresh and melts in your mouth! Friendly service. Salmon, amazing Toro & Blue Crab hand rolls. Order the "Trust Me" or a la carte!

    Pro: quality of fish was outstanding and service was friendly. Con: rice was a little warm for my liking and one batch was a bit too sour. The "trust me" omakase set was a good deal.

    First time here with one other person? Split the "Nozawa." After your finished, order separate portions of your favorite stuff! The sushi here is some of the best and most fresh I've ever had!

    Trust me: You'll love it! I lived in Japan a year & this is in my top five sushi places. Love the simplicity and the warm rice with delicate sauces. Just TRUST Nozawa! He does it uniquely right!

    Sushi was excellent. All of it. Get the Trust Me. Wish they had gluten free soy sauce. Seems like an easy thing to carry.

    Fresh sushi and excellent service. You’ve got to go with the Omakase and maybe throw in an extra hand roll of your liking.

    Remember you dont have to order a omakase per person. Wife and i just shared the nozawa just to try the place out. Not bad. Kind of a better quality sushi boy to be honest...

    The Nozawa Trust Me is an absolute must-have of fresh sushi: sashimi and nigiri pieces.

    Do right by the chef and the food. Order one of the "Trust Me" options and by no means should you dip any of the sashimi in soy sauce.

    Some of LA's best sushi. Not the biggest spot, however, so avoid busy times. Coming with a group on weekends is also tough.

    Sushi is good. Expect to pay a good price. The big travesty is that there's no connectivity of any kind inside. OK if you're with friends or fam but hard to have a solo meal & read the news.

    Food was really good. Not the place to go if you are hungry or on a budget, but if you like good sushi and don't mind having limited options, its a slam dunk.

    Trust Me. Love the warm rice and killer salmon sushi, tuna sashimi. Great lunch spot.

    Well priced, non-traditional style of sushi. Feels less about the fish & more about the light sauces & flavors. Not for purists. 1 hr lunch.

    They didn't have it with the trust mes we tried, but get the unnagi as an add on. Best we've had.

    Everything I got was extremely fresh. The food here is terrific. If you are a sushi nut, I would look elsewhere though. The rolls were too basic for my liking. It's a pricy meal, too.

    The waiters will politely tell you that the chef does not appreciate sashimi dipping into the soy sauce. And he is right, the sashimi taste is too good just by itself.

    If you get the "Trust Me" lets you sample a variety of sushi. The nozawa is filling and bang for your buck.

    Formulaic. Fish, rice, nothing else in the sushi, so while one could argue it's purist, it lacked creativity. Supposed omakase "don't think about it" is not - everyone's that night is identical.

    Get the Trust Me. Super fresh and the rice is warm :). It's in a strip mall but super yummy.

    Their sashimi is more like poke than traditional sashimi. It's comes dressed and marinated.
