It is solid, if not spectacular sushi option at the busy stretch of Santa Monica Blvd. Friendly unpretentious place, competent service, fairly reasonable prices, and good sashimi/nigiri/rolls options. Fresh and sushi grade, needless to say, but didn't have wow factor for me. Still, quite good!
Simply excellent. I'm worried that these types of Japanese restaurants are fading. This place totally reminds me of what Nippon used to be in Toluca Lake. High level of craft is what you need when the dish only has two components. The best part, no kewpie with siracha anywhere ;)
YES YES YES!! Jinpachi is no question one of the best sushi spots in LA. it is unassuming and authentic; the owners are from japan and the fish is fresh and absolutely delicious. I was a regular at Jinpachi when they opened in 2007, then moved away… and after 15 years they are still absolutely top notch! Highly recommend the carpaccios (all of them) and also the spicy tuna crispy rice is a MUST. can’t wait to come back on my next trip to LA.
