About Morihiro

Mori Onodera is one of the small number of sushi chefs in Los Angeles who makes his own ceramics to serve his food on — the plates, the vessels, the cups for sake are all his own work. The sushi is at the same level of craft: pristine fish, rice seasoned with precision, compositions that reflect Onodera's decades of study. The restaurant is small enough that the counter feels genuinely intimate rather than cramped. Located in Atwater Village, it sits slightly outside the usual dining circuits, which makes it one of the great quiet secrets of Los Angeles sushi.
