Sushi . . . On Sunday?

Fellow Hounds,

My wife and I are in Los Angeles to see family this weekend (visiting from Dallas) and have one precious night to dine out (Sunday) and we're dying for some great sushi in the Studio City/Tarzana area (or up through Woodland Hills and Calabasas as my family lives in West Hills). We usually go to Sushi Tsune on Ventura and Reseda but, like many sushi restaurants, it's closed on Sunday.

I've scoured the boards for notes on places like Tama and Nozawa but there's no info as to when they're open. Can anyone please provide some recomendations for a great sushi restaurant that's open on Sunday? We're looking to keep expenses around $60-$75 per person and we won't be drinking. We'd love to find a great omakase, classic-style place if possible. The quality of the fish (rather than the "scene") is the primary factor for us . . . but all of that is out the window if nothing is open. We'll even consider driving over "the hill" into the city if that's our only option to find some good sushi on a sunday.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Skedhead

    Thanks everyone for your feedback! Looks like we're in good shape with Tama or Katsu-Ya.

      Some people recommend against sushi on Sunday due to the delivery schedule of fresh fish. If it's delivered on Friday, then by Sunday it's not so fresh.

        Nozawa is closed on weekends, and it would be pushing your budget anyway.

        Katsu-Ya is open Sundays for dinner only, and is sublime -- and within your budget. Iroha was one of the first sushi places in the Valley, and although I haven't been there for years I have heard good things.

            Not the first place i ate it -- but definitely the first place I *enjoyed* it.

          I'm pretty sure that Tama is open for dinner on Sunday. And you can't do better than Tama for the price.

            Always a good idea to google the question: http://losangeles.citysearch.com/prof...
