        <content>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?</content>

      <content>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.</content>

      <content>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.</content>

      <content>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.

      <content>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.</content>

      <content>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.</content>

      <content>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.</content>
