After years of successful international expansion, Sushisamba is bringing its mix of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culture and cuisine back to the U.S, with a new outpost at 639 North La Peer Dr. in West Hollywood’s Design District in summer 2025. The brand’s newest location will be a rooftop space featuring multi-level open-air dining, 360-degree views of the LA skyline and a retractable roof.
Designed by Dizon Collective and inspired by the wave patterns of Roberto Burle Marx’s Copacabana sidewalks in Rio de Janeiro, the 17,500-square-foot space showcases soft, flowing shapes and inviting seating areas, enhanced by warm lighting and vibrant greenery.
Expansive sculptural trellises provide shade by day and transform into a vibrant light show by night. A marble bar with a billowing design will energize the space. The spaces will be anchored by custom Brazilian-inspired terrazzo flooring.
Inside, a glass-wrapped sushi bar and robata grill will offer an engaging “theater” dining experience where guests can witness precision and artistry up close. Adjacent to the sushi bar will be an exclusive 16-seat private dining room, accessible via a private elevator and a discreet kitchen entrance.
Sushisamba Los Angeles’ menu will showcase a fresh blend of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian influences crafted under the guidance of Corporate Chef John Um, who brings over 20 years of culinary experience and creative vision.
