Japanese sushi and omakase restaurant in Echo Park, Los Angeles; one MICHELIN Star in MICHELIN Guide California 2025.

**Morihiro** is a Japanese restaurant in Echo Park, Los Angeles specialising in Edomae-style sushi and a chef's omakase, listed with one star in the [MICHELIN Guide California 2025](https://knowledge.ivjn.us/hi/works/michelin-guide-california-2025.html).[^michelin-profile][^stars2025]

The kitchen is led by chef Morihiro "Mori" Onodera. He grew up on his family's farm in Fujisawa, Iwate Prefecture, learning to make soy sauce, tofu and rice from scratch. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1985 and worked at Matsuhisa, Katsu and R-23, as well as Hatsuhana in New York; his namesake sushi bar earned Michelin stars in 2008, 2009 and in every year from 2021 to 2025.[^morihiro-about]

In October 2025 the restaurant moved from Atwater Village to a new space on the border between Echo Park and Victor Heights. The counter omakase remains the focus, starting at $400 and served to only four guests an evening, while an à la carte menu has been added.[^eater-morihiro] The sushi rice is Akitakomachi grown in Onodera's hometown of Iwate and milled in-house daily, with the chef checking its moisture content and the calibre of each grain.[^morihiro-menu][^morihiro-about]

MICHELIN wrote in 2021 that the omakase yields an impressive amount of food, including impeccably executed items such as firefly squid with wakame seaweed and halibut sashimi with pink peppercorn.[^michelin-2021-stars]
