Sushi Yoshizumi - San Andreas

Generic cliches and hyperbolic statements like 'best meal I 've ever had ' usually sound disingenuous, but I can really state that was the case. I 'm not a snobby foodie; I enjoy neighborhood AYCE sushi; I enjoy Korean sushi chefs; I enjoy sushi in Tokyo, I even order rolls at Cheesecake Factory. But my palettes getting there. Lots of fancy places I sit and pretend I enjoyed it, but usually the experience beats the actual taste. Here, both experience and taste topped all expectations. Best in class. Sonny 's sommelier skills made every sake pairing an event, his passion and presentation getting my appetite whet with just a few words. Definitely hear him out. Oh and Chef Yoshizumi 's personal pairing of Kiminoi and monkfish liver massaged braised octopus my tongue and mouth never felt that incredible in my life. I can name off other fish like goldeneye snapper but you probably either heard it or maybe tasted it. Forget everything you know. Sushi Yoshizumi will transform all that fish to unique gems worthy of..... connection to what defines you as an eater.

Sushi Yoshizumi was by far some of the best sushi I have ever had. From the second you walk on Yoshi and his staff make you feel welcome. The the place only seats 9 at a counter so yo feel like Yoshi is there just for you. The sushi was beyond delicious, Yoshi curates and hand crafts every piece right in front of you. Watching him yiu can tell that this is a labor of love for him. Yoshi only offers Omakaze (chef's choice) but he asks you of any allergies as you sit down, just in case. We can't wait to come back.

My favorite place for special occasions with my special one.

Best sushi ever!!!!! It was amazing! 18 different pieces of things I would have never thought of ordering. So worth it!

The closest I 'm going to get to a 'Jiro Loves Sushi ' experience. All the pieces were balanced and flavorful, beautifully presented.
