Rooted in Tradition, Crafted in Los Angeles
Umaya LA was born from a deep love for Japanese cuisine and the traditions that shaped it. Food has always been a connection to our roots, a way to honor the flavors, techniques, and artistry that define Japanese cooking at its highest level.
At the heart of Umaya LA is kaiseki, the centuries-old Japanese art of multi-course dining. Each meal is a journey through the seasons, with every dish carefully composed to balance flavor, texture, and presentation. It is cuisine that demands patience, precision, and respect for the ingredients, and that is exactly what we bring to every plate.
Leading our kitchen is Chef NaO Sugiyama, a culinary master with over 50 years of experience. His deep understanding of kaiseki traditions, combined with his ability to surprise and delight, elevates every dining experience at Umaya LA. From delicate sashimi to rich umami-layered broths, Chef Sugiyama's creations are both timeless and unforgettable.
Nestled in the heart of Koreatown, Umaya LA offers an intimate escape from the everyday. Whether you are joining us for an omakase lunch, a multi-course kaiseki dinner, or a quiet evening at our whiskey bar, we invite you to slow down, savor each moment, and experience Japanese cuisine the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

What our guests are saying
This is a great date night restaurant that is sort of a hidden gem. It easy to miss this place when walking by, but once you step inside you notice the chic decor. The service is very attentive and all the dishes are explained by the wait staff as they arrive at the table. The three course tasting menu is a bargain with a just right portion size that will fill you up but not overstuff you.

Went here for our one year anniversary. It was beautiful! The location had little parking, but the valet was affordable and professional. The food was amazing and well portioned. Our server was extremely attentive and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend.
