Best Japanese Sushi Restaurant in LA

[Suitopi21]

My absolute favorite place is Sasabune. I don't think I can live without it. I go there about once a week and although it is somewhat pricy, it's so worth it.

What Japanes Sushi restaurant do you consider the best in LA?

Omakase style

[amnesiac]

Try Miura in Lomita, on Pacific Coast Highway.

It's some of the best sushi I've had, exquisitely prepared. Not terribly overpriced like most Westside locations either. A friend of mine who spent a few months in Tokyo says it compares favorably to the best places he's eaten over there. Now that may be a slight hyperbole but it's honestly fantastic.

Places "like" Sakura on Centinela. Old standby kind of joints that existed long before the sushi craze that started 20 years ago.

That make alot of sense. What sushi is supposed to be.

But you GOTTA love Roku.

.....It's my I have my dates take me.

(the ones that can afford it.)

One of the most ironic things is that most of my Japanese American friends laugh and would never think of going to these high end "BEST" omikase type sushi restaurants.

Time for an "LA Sushi Board."

Are there any good Chinese Sushi Restaurants in town?

[monku]

Don't know of any Chinese...but there are a lot of Korean sushi restaurants and most people don't realize they're eating at one.

I heard in an earlier post that sushi Z in alhambra is Chinese owned and is considered one of the top sushi bars in L.A.

[monku]

Thanks...now I know of one.

When San Gabriel Square first opened 15 years ago, there was a sushi bar that catered largely to elderly Chinese who had first tasted sushi during the occupation. It served perhaps the most traditional Edomae sushi in town.
