those that say the CO or UA C seat is "Great" must not have flown many other airlines in C. The NH seat is 100X better. Every seat has aisle access & room to stretch out when its a bed, the CO seat is fine for shorter hops to Europe but that little cubby hole for your feet ruin the seat. NH food, service & IFE is miles better then the sCO flights (& the sUA flights as well)
UA C seats are great when your not paying for them & upgraded but if paying for C or F, you don't fly UA. Especially when NH gives you the same mileage credit

NH in an instant: food, seat and service are all significantly better than UA even with the UA lie flats. Plus you'll have a gamble with UA on whether you get an old crappy recliner instead of a lie flat.
Don't know what NH facilities are like at LAX, but you'll have better service at NRT with NH.
PS Avoid the Tomato Parfait (seriously!) for desert on NH. As the saying goes, knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad!

Go NH all the way. I took my first flight on this route on UA...eh...the last three I have taken on NH and its so nice. its a 1-2-1 config in business class with a lot of privacy for every passenger and great service. easy to sleep on the lie flat bed
ua is 2-4-2 which is terrible for a biz class product.
now once they offer the 787 on this route I might change my mind
