Best Expensive Sushi in Los Angeles
If you are a fan of sushi, you know how great it is to find a restaurant that offers your favorite creations. And although you might be budget conscious these days, "cheap" sushi never seems like a good idea. On the other end of the spectrum is expensive sushi, some of it more expensive than you'll pay for any other meal in your life. Although these sushi restaurants are extremely pricey, the consensus remains the same: they are worth every penny. From pricey but delicious small bites to chef specific omakase, this is some of the best expensive sushi in LA. Start saving.
Urasawa
218 N Rodeo Dr.
Beverly Hills, CA 90210

The crème de la crème of expensive sushi, if it is okay to mix food metaphors, has to be Urasawa Restaurant in Beverly Hills. This exclusive, yet unassuming, restaurant on Wilshire is one of the country's most expensive restaurants period. With sake bottles starting at $70 and sushi selections that can double or triple that price, patrons typically spend close to $1000/person while dining here. Don't expect an Americanized version of sushi here either; at Urasawa, the food is as authentic as it comes. Advance reservations only, no walkups.
Matsuhisa

Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Although individual sushi selections at Matsuhisa are not extraordinarily outrageous, the fine quality sushi does begin to add up for those with hearty appetites or a lingering dining experience. To make the most of your dining experience, order omakase style, where you leave your sushi selections up to the chef based on three price points starting at $100/person up to $200/person. Matsuhisa restaurant's omakase menu features their best and most exotic seasonal, signature dishes; all you have to do is enjoy them.
