Stopped in for an impromptu dinner and was seated right away. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The food came out to our table in a reasonable amount of time and was SO incredible! We got a few basic rolls (tuna, scallop, etc) and everything was fresh and flavorful! When we stopped by to the dessert place next door after dinner they let us know that Jinpachi was some of the best sushi in the area! Next time we are around we will definitely be back! read more

Jinpachi - Tuna Roll - Japanese Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The food was absolutely astounding. I'm not a sushi expert, but I've definitely made my way around, and this was, without a doubt, the BEST sushi I have ever had. The service was also impeccable; the staff was so kind and attentive. The restaurant is also beautiful, filled with gorgeous art and a warm, wooden atmosphere that feels calm and comfortable. 100000000/10! read more

My party and I arrived at 8:30 pm on a weeknight. The place was packed! Very local crowd too which was a surprise considering the area. We waited around 30 minutes for them to clear a table. You know a sushi place is legit when the menu is accompanied by a pencil and paper to fill out your order. This place was stacked with options and a few specials for the night. We ordered a few salads and carpaccios to start. The halibut was def the standout. The mushroom truffle flavor complemented the fish so well! The yellowtail carpaccio was a bit oily but had a nice citrus punch to balance it out. All the fish pieces were cut very uniform and had a nice texture. The sushi rolls were extremely fresh! I loved the r spicy salmon and the crab with soy paper the most. The rolls all had a great rice to fish ratio. Overall I def recommend visiting. A bit pricey but what can I expect for the Weho area. A very solid spot ! read more

Wow- This was my first omakase experience and it blew me away. All the seafood was so fresh and had impeccable taste. One of the dishes is raw oysters and as someone who doesn't really like raw oysters, these were full of flavor and super fresh (no slimy textures here!). Each plate was curated to perfection and I will say the halibut with truffle and yuzu was one of my favorites of the night. The staff are great and quick to bring on the plates as you enjoy your experience. Jinpachi is a small restaurant, but it has two levels with a bar on the first level and seating on the second floor. I will have to come back again and try more for myself! read more

Jinpachi might just be my favorite sushi restaurant in all of LA, which is a bold claim but everything was freaking delicious. Cute and simple interior - everything is focused on ensuring you have a good meal with great and attentive service. I definitely recommend making a reservation. We had the pleasure of going during Dine LA Week and the deal was so good. The Wagyu nigiri wasn't on the Dine LA omakase but we had to get it...and then proceeded to get several more orders. I will be going back!!!! read more

Jinpachi is one of those rare places that by hard work, consistency, and superior fish quality had manage to still be a place that gets excited visiting even after 10 years in this city. Nothing about it is fancy, everything about it is filled with genuine care for their customer's experience. To me that and the fish quality is everything. read more

Jinpachi - The ambiance is very warm and intimate. - Japanese Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Went here on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy but they do accept reservations! They have an upstairs seating area too (I think). We were seated at the sushi bar which was a prime spot in my opinion. We tried a variety of nigiri and rolls and everything was so fresh and the fish melted in your mouth and was properly dressed. I 100% recommend this sushi spot! It's awesome and very under rated! read more

Best sushi I've had in LA so far. I ordered the sushi moriawase and my partner ordered the sashimi moriawase - pieces were all fresh and delicious, comes with miso soup and a salad. Recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch the chefs slice and craft each piece so carefully and efficiently. I also really loved the neighborly, cozy feel of the space, as well as the efficient and helpful service. Definitely on the pricier side (a la carte sushi items were up to $12 per piece!), but worth it for a special dinner experience in my opinion. read more

Simply spectacular. Please sit at the bar, let the chefs do their thing, sit back, and enjoy. Thank you and you're welcome.

What an experience! Fish was so clean and delicious, perfectly cut. Server guided me through several suggestions and they were all absolutely fabulous. newfound favorite was the Amber Jack... had to go back for more. Service was top notch with empty plates being whisked away moments after they were finished, and somehow it seemed my water glass never emptied even though i was drinking through the whole meal. Obviously a respected local spot with a warm friendly atmosphere. Worth every penny and then some. Chef skills were apparently next level. read more

Great spot for my sushi fix in Weho. The staff is friendly and sushi chefs are prompt and experienced. If I can't make it to the valley for my regular spot, I hit Jinpachi! read more

10/10 for sushi quality. Took my super picky friend here and he said this was the best sushi he's ever had in LA! I will say it's definitely top 3, will be coming back again and again. The service was super quick too and the price was not bad for the quality of the fish. read more

There are some sushi places where the only things you should order are the Americanized dishes..and then there are others where the fish quality is so good, the authentic options are what you should stick with. Jinpachi is the latter. We tried the yellowtail serrano sashimi, salmon sushi, toro scallion roll, and yellowtail roll, all of which were amazing. We also ordered a spicy tuna roll, crispy rice spicy tuna, and lemon roll. The lemon roll was pretty awful, the lemon on it was extremely bitter, which was disappointing. Even with the lemon removed, the fish quality didn't seem quite as fresh as in the sashimi. Jinapachi doesn't offer many specialized rolls, but based on our experience, they are doing you a favor by not offering them. If quality sushi and sashimi is what you are after, you'll have a fantastic experience in a unique space in West Hollywood. read more

Wonderful experience - omakase, and very bite was memorable. The chef was attentive and the sushi was subtle and surprising with excellent seasoning throughout. We loved it! read more

Good service. Nice Setting and quiet. The food is alright nothing special in my opinion.

Great sushi - fresh as anything and the place is a vibe! I love this place and always go back

Jinpachi serves up terrific and fresh sushi and sashimi, mostly in classic styles. It's a small sushi bar that people sit around with a few ground floor tables in West Hollywood. There's an upstairs that can accommodate another half dozen dining groups. The tiny affair is minimally decorated, nothing worth mentioning, but consistently good... The one drawback? It ain't cheap. Know that going in. read more

Jinpachi - Blue Fin Tuna with Wasabi Roots Sashimi Special Red Snapper with Garlic Chip Sashimi Special - Japanese Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Went here with family for a late Thanksgiving celebration. We were a party of 4 with a reservation at 6, and were promptly seated when arrived. Everyone in our party chose the omakase, but it was a shame we couldn't sit at the bar to watch the chefs make our dishes. Instead, we got a table on the second floor, but got a balcony view of them instead! I was absolutely starving when we arrived and the halibut yuzu carpaccio was a beautiful and fresh start to the tasting menu. The star of the show was definitely the first set of the nigiris, (tuna, salmon, yellowtail and red snapper). Although these are typically the cheaper cuts of the fish, the quality was superb. The fish practically melts in your mouth, and the wasabi was an extremely gentle compliment. Overall, it's quite a comfortable and cozy restaurant nestled in West Hollywood. It's definitely worth giving it a try. read more

Extremely belated review! Went with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Small, cozy spot in West Hollywood. The octopus carpaccio was so out of control good- it's been almost a year later and I still can't stop thinking about it. Servers are attentive. Highly recommend! read more

The food is great and the service is also on point. If the quality of food was a bit better, I would love probably given it a 5 star but I've had much better sushi in LA. I would for sure go again if I was in the area. read more

Be prepared to $$$$pend. Decided to come here for dinner with a friend after not having been here for a few years. We ordered miso soups, cucumber seaweed salad, 2 sashimi dishes, crispy rice, a few sushi dishes and 2 hand rolls each. We were a bit surprised when the sushi was served as individual pieces (had to end up ordering 2 more orders of each thing after already ordering 2 of each). The fish was honestly whatever. Even the yuzu and ponzu weren't so great. Really felt like place is so overpriced and the sushi was just OK (definitely doesn't justify the price). Probably won't be coming back here. read more

The sushi was good but it was the prices that were amazing! In a first for me at a sushi restaurant, a sushi order is priced for *one* piece, presumably so you won't choke on the price for the standard pair. A salmon avocado cut roll was $16. Yellowtail carpacchio for $30. Oysters at $5 each. A very modest dinner for two adults and a nine-year-old, with only water to drink, came to $213, plus tip. Neither food nor service nor atmosphere was good enough to justify those prices. Maybe that's why the tiny place was almost empty at 7:30 on a Friday night. It doesn't matter how wealthy you may or may not be. No one likes to be ripped off. read more

Street meters available for parking. Staff is nice and helpful. A great surprise for yummy sushi. It is quality so the pricing is fair. Restaurant is a bit small so reservations recommended. read more

I love this place. They have some of the best and most fresh sushi. You can't go wrong with any of the sushi or sashimi that they have to offer. They don't have many specialty rolls if that is what you are looking for. Of course the basic spicy tuna cut rolls they do but i believe they have very limited specialty options, which is not an issue since their fish tastes so fresh. Their service is also very good, I personally enjoy sitting at the sushi bar. The ambiance is somewhat dark, but not enough where you can't see what you're eating. They have a few seats outside. You should make reservations. I like this place and recommend it. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood sushi joint. The fish is always fresh and the sushi chefs are always welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend sitting at the sushi bar and getting their omakase menu. My only suggestion would be they make it more clear how many pieces come in their omakase menu so that it is easier to know how to budget for the meal. read more

Better than I remembered it to be. Great quality fish and selection. Will definitely be back.

I arrived late on a Saturday evening, after having made a reservation using Yelp. Although the restaraunt never received the reservation on a busy Saturday night, they accommodated us. The staff was patient, and kind, and i believe, seated us in the most intimate spot in the house - upstairs in a secluded corner. There's nothing to focus on but yourself and your date, hidden from the bustle of LA despite being on Hollywood. The rolls we ordered were simple, elegant and excellent. The rice was expertly prepared and sticky, which I believe as a want-to-be chef, is sometimes tricky and presumed to be easy by the uninitiated and unattended. Do not miss out on Jinpachi. read more
