Word of advice: Don't get the sashimi combos. You get what you pay for.
The cuts a la carte are waaaaaaaaay fatter, fresher, and more delicious.

2. Irori Japanese Restaurant
Did I hear correctly? They are under new management.
I've had it a couple times since I heard someone say that. But I could be totally wrong and propelling rumors into the throes of Yelp. HA!

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
Musha is good izakaya, not great. It obviously caters to the population that is largely Santa Monica.
The sashimi was fresh enough, no complaints there at all. The spicy tuna was pretty on par with all other LA joints. The asari sakamushi was…More »

kabuki isn't the most authentic japanese food you can get, but it's pretty decent for the area. they have a pretty good sashimi tuna salad. during lunch, i also order the chicken bowls or ninja delux. the sashimi is decently fresh but nothing…More »

Category:

Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
Tsujita is synonymous with long lines at lunch time. Artisan noodles are the culprit of that.
The tsukemen definitely steals the show when compared to the ramen, which is a bit lackluster as compared to the yamadaya, shinsengumi (Torrance),…More »

The Open Door was a lot better than I remembered. The service was very accommodating after the guys in the party started to complain about how they didn't put our name down and they almost gave away our table.

10. Akasaka Restaurant
If quantity is your thing, then you best come to Akasaka.
The quality is okay, and the service is great. Huge huge huge portions. I say huge because I had a tough time finishing up. The menu is very deceiving. Tricksy like hobbits hiding rings.

clams are great, pork medallions are fantastic, ahi tuna sashimi is delicious. one thing is you might want to skip the lamb carpaccio unless you absolutely love lamb.
be sure to get there early on a fri night or you'll wait for a while.

1. Too much rice, not enough sashimi

In terms of decor and appeal, I'd give this place 4 stars. It's very typical of a darkly lit Japanese restaurant with modern decor. In terms of Japanese food, I'd say around 3.
We went on an off peak hour ~3pm on a Sunday. The restaurant was…More »

23. Arado Japanese Restaurant
The hwe dup bap is not bad here, but hardly the best bowl I've had in LA--not that the quality gets much better than this. It isn't quite as big as A-wons vat of salad, but the quality is better. The fish is only slightly stringy at this joint,…More »
