You can always hit some of the spots in Venice like Wabi Sabi and Hama for decent sushi. Not the best in the city, but good and close enough to the airport

if they are willing to travel that far from the airport, then imho they should go to sushi zo and order the omakase.

if they want to be in the wabi sabi neighborhood in venice, right across the street, at shima, the quality will be far better (and, as one would expect, the prices would be somewhat higher)

Sorry if this is late and they were here last night, but I have a friend who loves Kanpai on Lincoln near Manchester. They apparently have a great selection of sake.

[westsidegal]

what night of the week will they be here? many sushi places are not open on sundays.

you'll have better options if you're willing to travel a short distance...there's K-Zo or Sushi Karen in Culver City; Shima or Chaya in Venice; The Hump in SM...

Even Irori in Marina Del Rey would be fine.

the hump, aside from being the farthest of the group, can also be UNBELIEVABLY pricey--sometimes costing more than urasawa.

i've now heard several stories of unpredictable and unbelievably high checks coming out of that place.. . . .

Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa 4722 1/4 Admiralty Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292

i respectfully, completely disagree with the sugarfish recommendation.

their sushi is, at best, fair to poor, imho.

if you like your tuna sashimi to be full of white veins of connective tissue (the kind that look and taste and have the mouth-feel of white dental floss), and you also like to have the dental-floss-sashimi flooded with a gallon of ponzu sauce to cover up the taste, you may like sugarfish.

if you don't like ordering for yourself, and are willing to accept insipid rolls and other fillers as a required parts of the 'package deals' that one is required to order in that place, then maybe you'll like sugarfish.

i did have some sushi that was actually good in the LAX area a couple of years ago at taiko on rosecrans (el segundo/manhattan beach area). if i were limited to the LAX area, that's where i'd go.

I went to sugarfish and had mixed feelings. We ordered the "surprise me", some items were decent, others not so good. Overall just average and not totally worth the size of the bill..

[Foodandwine]

Taiko has gone downhill very fast. Not what it was a few years past.. A friend of mine was there two weeks ago. Its a pass...

[westsidegal]

that's too bad.
thanks for the warning.

Hands down. Sugar Fish in Marina Del Rey. Nice marina setting, super close, damn good sushi.

Also, you may want to look into sushi in Manhattan Beach. Also very close and scenic, but no personal recommendations.
