Go a bit further East to Echigo. It is still my go to for straight-up good sushi and yes I do like the warm rice. Just had a meal at Sushi King (because they are open late) and couldn't help wishing I was at Echigo. I like the Hump too but if you order beyond sushi, it is $$$. They do wonders with mini-torches.

Irori has been our go-to weekly spot since we moved to LA. Hard to beat their ambiance, quality-to-cost value ratio. But we understand they've lost Shige, which hurts, cuz he was one of the main reasons to go there. It's one of the few places you can go in LA and get amazing quality sushi and be content for $50+ for two people.
As far as more spendy sushi places like Sasabune, Kiriko - like those too, but they cost a lot more. Just got home from Hiko and had a fabulous meal - comparable and slightly less $ than Sasabune. We'll be back to Hiko soon.

Try Kiriko or Sushi Zo--with slight edge to Kiriko. See all the rave posts on both these places. Kiriko has a terrific lunch deal ($30) for 10 pieces plus dessert (home-made ice cream that is incredible). Been there twice lately. Hard to imagine much better.

Yup, I love Kiriko, but I've had that same 20 minute lag. One of the reasons I go to Sushi Tenn more often lately. I think the sushi is just as good and the cooked dishes better (except for Kiriko matsutake mushroom soup, which cannot be improved, but matsutake season is over). Kiriko has better ice cream though. Haven't tried Zo yet.
