Best chirashi in LA?

[cincodemayo1]

Where can I get a really good chirashi at a really good price?

I've had it at Irori and also at that sushi place on Lincoln not far from the airport. I've also had it at a few other random places. Always good, but nothing spectacular.

As much as I enjoy sushi rolls, I'm a bigger fan of the chirashi/sashimi type dished.

Any suggestions?

i would like to hear if anyones had a better chirashi than the one at kasen in fountain valley

Odeasan in Koreatown has a great korean-style chirashi

I second Sushi Tenn and Kiriko, though I am not a fan of Kiriko style tamago.

I vote for Sushi Tenn on Sawtelle. At lunch, chirashi is $18, which is an incredible bargain given the quality of the fish. Sushi Tenn gets expensive if you start ordering a la carte, but with the chirashi, you get the same high quality fish at a reasonable price.

I've had good inexpensive chirashi at Mako in Weller Court in Little Tokyo.

What is Chirashi?

[judge dee]

I believe chirashi sushi can be interpreted as "scattered sushi" - it's just a bowl of sushi rice (shari) with toppings arranged on the rice. At Sushi Gen, the toppings include tomago, various sashimi slices, perhaps octopus, ikura, shrimp, etc.

It's a bit a far from LA, but I liked the chirashi at Shaab in Old Town Pasadena when I used to work in Pasadena.

I, too, like Sushi Gen, but I cut my teeth on chirashi sushi at Brother's when they were on Corbin in Northridge.

Yes, Sushi Go 55 still serves an amazing and chirashi -- just had it a couple of weeks ago. It includes the usual cuts of fish, plus mackerel, squid, and octopus. Uni available for an extra charge.

Also, Izayoi has a beautiful chirashi on their lunch memo.

Love the chirashi at Sushi GO 55 - their lunch box is only $15 and is huge!

Dinner is slightly more expensive at $18.95. With uni and scallop they bump it up to $23.95.

I just had chirashi sushi at Sushi Go 55. It is a very large serving, but in terms of flavor and freshness, Sushi Gen is better.

I feel funny pushing this place so much lately, but call sushi go 55 and see if they still serve chirashi.

I recently had a great chirashi at Jinpachi in West Hollywood -- artfully assembled and included less-typical offerings like uni and squid. Worth every last penny at around $20.

Also, I enjoyed a workmanlike chirashi at the Sushi Kushi Imai (Wilshire / San Vicente). That one was definitely cheaper.

Lastly, I vaguely remember a very solid chirashi at Kiriko on Sawtelle, but that should not surprise.

Looking forward to hearing other ideas.

sushi gen? that's my dad's favorite chirashi, anyway.
