😍 5/5 - Best VALUE Omakase Sushi Course in Southern California.

The title says it all. Best VALUE. Most omakase-style courses in the LA/Orange County area range from $80~$120 per person, starting. At Ohshima, it starts at $45 for the initial 8 pieces. Adding for extra pieces for a total of 12 courses of sushi put the bill at $75 per person, including 20% tip.
I glossed over some of the other reviews posted here on tripadvisor, complaining the "lack of this-fish-or-that-fish-on-the-menu." One thing a person should realize is that Ohshima looks to stock fish based on quality, not availability. That means certain fish will not make it onto the menu; perhaps the fish isn't in season, or the quality was not worthy enough to serve to customers. Good sushi starts with fresh fish. A sushi chef worth his salt knows which fish at the market will bring out the best flavors.
I've eaten at Ohshima through the years, and the quality is quite consistent. Each piece of sushi is treated with care, artfully scored, seasoned, plated, dressed. Placed before you when ready. Sumptuous, and rich. Mildly sweet, supple in texture. A marriage of flavors that dance along the palate as you chew. Sometimes you'll get fare so fresh, it is still live. Such as live spot prawns that get their heads ripped off before your eyes at the bar, peeled, slit, placed on a bed of vinegared rice. The heads get taken off for a secondary serving of prawn head miso soup.
Some pieces are mildly dressed in a particular soy sauce, to let the natural sweet brine of a particular fish cut through. Some pieces are accentuated with yuzu kosho for a touch of spice, and pungent acidity.
One night, you may get Bluefin tuna, Buri/Yellowtail, Hotategai/Scallops, Uni/Sea Urchin Roe, Amaebi/Santa Barbara Spot Prawns, Sake/Cherry Salmon, Tai/Sea Bream, and Kanpachi/Amberjack.
Another night, you may see some pieces represented with Tsubugai/Neptune, Mekajiki/Marlin, Hirame/Flounder, Saba/Mackerel. There's even foie gras and Japan-imported wagyu beef. It's astounding to me how much the menu can change from week-to-week.
There are not many sushi bars, if at all, that can offer this experience at this price point.
One thing to note, you should get a reservation. Call in between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM. If you don't get the first seating at the sushi bar, you'll wait a good hour ~ hour and a half. I can't say if omakase is offered if you get seated at the table. The space is small. Better to make eating here a couples date night, with a party of 4 maximum. Besides sushi, they do offer a contemporary Japanese menu worth trying as well.
