As a regular guest and sushi enthusiast, I believe that Sawa is the best Omakase in town under $200. Cocktail pairings are available and they are also open for Late Bar nights for regulars on Friday nights. Chef Anthony and Ryotsro are great entertainers as well to make sure you enjoy a great time! Please come visit Bar Sawa!

Very fun bar located at the underground level of Kajima Building in Little Tokyo. They serve a full Omakase with cocktail pairing. On Fridays you can find a late bar special!

Tucked away in an unassuming office building in Little Tokyo, Bar Sawa offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of LA where Edomae-style sushi is paired with cocktails in a speakeasy-inspired space. Perfect for an intimate date night, or celebration.

Fun place to hang out

Wow. What a treat. Bar Sawa was perfection from beginning to end. It's not easy to find but once you're in, it's cozy and intimate, with only 8 people served at a single time. Much of the fish is dry aged and the techniques blend modern and traditional methods. The cocktail pairing is strong and a steal. The soy sauce Basque cheesecake at the end (not shown here) were also made in house by one of the sushi chefs. Can I just live here?

Bar Sawa is tucked away in the basement of an indiscrete office building. Once the doors opened into the restaurant, it felt like being transported into a truly Japanese experience. We did the omakase with drink pairing. All the sushi was fresh and delicately prepared. The sushi chefs were friendly and attentive. At the time we dined there, it was mackerel season, so there was a good portion of the pieces that were mackerel. The selection of fish change according to the season!

Amazing food and great service
