Jinpachi - West Hollywood

I went on a Tuesday, really craving the raw stuff. I wanted something fresh, light and meltingly tender. And in this awful heat, something cool would be awe-some. I walked five blocks from my office to Jinpachi, muttering as I ambled along. Sweating like a roasted pig by the time I got to the small joint, I collapsed onto the bar. Yeah, me, very graceful. I picked up the menu, perusing its contents, even though I knew what I wanted. Some sea urchin here, some salmon there. Mackerel, halibut, scallop and squid are welcome as well. Each slice was placed gently on warm sushi rice. The rice itself was yummy and with fresh fish on top…drool. The highlight was definitely the uni – mildly sweet and slightly briny. I ended up ordering another 3 nigiri pieces. The total came out to be about $60, including tip and tax. But with such high quality fish, it falls within the expected range. Service was prompt, if a bit solemn and cold. But otherwise, it was a fantastic meal.

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.

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!

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.
