Best Japanese Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

Great food. Great service. Great drinks. Great all around staff. Great ambiance. Always great spending time and eating a meal at this restaurant.

We've been going to Shu for more than a decade and they never disappoint. Lots of long time employees here and they make it a point to deliver an exceptional dining experience each and every time. We hadn't been to Shu in awhile but Leo, the head chef, didn't miss a beat in remembering what we like. We typically only eat sashimi and we trust whatever Leo decides to serve us. One of our absolute favorites is bluefin tuna with ponzu-wasabi. Some of our other favorite dishes are yellowtail with truffle, red snapper with avocado, and needle fish (not on the menu)! We often compare our sushi experiences to Shu and hands down Shu always comes out on top not just in the quality of the sushi but the overall dining experience delivered by the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We were promptly seated and the staff was courteous.

It was a great experience as always. My mother tried some new dishes too, which made the evening more interesting. We will be return soon.

The food was absolutely amazing although not inexpensive. Still, the sushi was top notch including the best albacore tuna I ever had! My mood was lifted to the stratosphere from the experience.
