The sushi herd is as good or better than anywhere else in LA. The staff and service is great. Unfortunately, since they moved their seating outdoors due to covid, they allowed their patrons smoke cigarettes at their tables while other people eat.

Good quality sushi. Service was good. They get busy so make a reservation. A bit pricey for me but quality of is good not sure if it justifies the price. 2 people around $60-70
We had 2 sushi rolls teriyaki chicken which didn't come with rice. And a tofu appetizer.

Service is practical, quick and sweet :) the entire menu is extraordinary - best sushi’s I’ve had worldwide. Can’t leave LA without a trip to Jinpachi!

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.

One of my favorite WeHo sushi restaurants. I would not say this is the best sushi in LA, but the sushi and sashimi are always well prepared and more Japanese oriented than many other places offering sushi in the area. Sure they have a California roll and a few other common rolls but you are better served eating nigiri style here.

Wow! Finally found an amazing sushi spot in LA. I really like sushi Fumi, but it’s somewhat inauthentic and lots of sauces on their sushi. Jinpachi is the first sushi restaurant that I throughly enjoyed in LA for its simplicity and flavor. I go to sushi in San Diego a lot (which has the best sushi in the country). This place reminds me of Hane Sushi from San Diego. The seaweed used for the handrolls are really crunchy and nice. The Spicy tuna crispy rice was fantastic. I had a bunch of different nigiris (no rolls).
If you enjoy traditional style sushi, then this is a great option; especially in Los Angeles (which lacks authentic, fresh, good sushi).

We had the omakase here. It was a bit hit or miss compared to others I've had. I expected much better for being charged $130 per person. Service was a bit on the slow side too.

Delicious sushi and some of the best tofu I've ever had.

Very cool place to go for Holoween. lots of music and food venders. Great time if you to dress up for the occasion and can handle large crowds.

Great atmosphere and delicious sushi, filled with locals
This is easily the best sushi experience I've ever had. I went here in early April 2017 with my girlfriend (we're both Norwegian), but we felt like we fit right in despite almost everyone in the restaurant being locals.
We were able to order our sushi and drinks in English with no trouble, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We even got to speak to a few locals, some of whom offered us hot sake!
The food is fairly cheap, especially considering the quality of the restaurant and sushi.
If you're staying in Kyoto and like having a good time (with sushi), you have to try Genpachi Sushi. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Kyoto!
