1. Morio's Sushi Bistro
Yelp did not let me down when I looked up sushi before my trip to Hawaii. However, even though I called over 48 hours in advance, they were supposedly booked for the week. But I got on the "waitlist" for the Thursday & Saturday that I was in town…More »
2. Izakaya Fu-ga
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 625-1722
I came here after a hockey game with some friends, and boy am I happy that we took a short drive to Little Tokyo instead of settling on Yard House or Trader Vics.
Not realizing that the garage next door offers free parking with validation, we parked…More »
3. Mitch's Fish Market
What a great Yelp find! We landed in Honolulu and immediately caught a cab to Mitch's Fish Market. When I say that it's off the beaten path, that is not an understatement. It's in an industrial area, but near the Alamo off-site car rental…More »

Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
Despite being sushi lovers, J and I haven't gone out for a sushi dinner since our trip to Hawaii four months ago. We just didn't think our places in LA could stack up to Morio's so we just went cold turkey. But now we were craving the raw fish and…More »

Today is my 4-star day, it seems. Iska B. was craving sushi so we decided to find a good place on the west side. Quality over cheapness, but nothing unreasonable. And in that giant Trader Joe's parking structure is K-Zo, which seemed like a good…More »
6. Nagahama Japanese Restaurant
I'm heading to JFK from Los Angeles to visit my family after two years. The plane's supposed to arrive at 4:37... but after a detour to Philly followed by sitting on the tarmac for 4 hours, I wind up getting to New York around 9:30 pm. My mom…More »
7. Fishlips Sushi Truck
I don't care what you say, but the name "Fishlips" disgusts me. Why not call the truck Cow brains or something equally unappetizing. But after all the hype about this place, I knew I had to check it out at the Food Trucks for Haiti event. And for…More »
8. Jogasaki Truck
Big stars in that this is the first food truck where a week later I'm wondering when I can get my next fix. Especially considering that when my husband mentioned that a "sushi burrito" truck existed I cringed majorly.
We visited the truck on the one…More »
9. U-Zen Japanese
In my mind, there's different categories of sushi places. There's the super-fine dining ones, for special occasions only. There's the 50% off, cheap places, where you'll go for some grub. And then there are the ones in between. Good quality, but…More »
10. Super Sushi
Very good sushi. Coming from great sushi in NYC and very sub-par sushi in Toronto, I was very pleased with the quality here. The tuna is really fresh - the tekka maki roll is MASSIVE. If I only knew how big it was, I would not have ordered the…More »
11. Yokoso Sushi
When I moved to LA almost 4 years ago, one of the first things I learned was that you could get good sushi in a strip mall. Apparently that adage transfers up to the East Bay. On the outside it looks like any other strip-mall storefront, but come…More »
12. Hecho
San Francisco, CA 94108

Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This place is tied to a Joie de Vivre hotel (Park Galleria) and was one of the few places open around 9pm in the immediate vicinity of where I was. I ordered two rolls to go - Salmon & Spicy Tuna. I was a bit surprised that the damage was $16…More »

Neighbourhood: Beverly Hills
Good, but overrated and expensive. The fish was fresh. The yellowfin with jalapeno was really good, as was the spicy tuna roll. Because of dietary restrictions (including no shellfish) I couldn't try a good chunk of this menu, but what I had was…More »
14. Hara Sushi
(Note: would give 3 1/2 stars if I could, but I can't) Went to Hara around 9pm on a Sunday night because we were craving sushi and both Hana and Bimi were too pricey for the night. Happy hour goes from 5-9:30pm every night, which meant 1/2 off on…More »
15. Hana Sushi - CLOSED
We decided to go for sushi, and Hana was close, which was good.
After being promptly seated, we were ignored for a good twenty minutes, which was bad.
We received edamame as an "I'm sorry for forgetting about you," which was good.
We aren't big fans of…More »

I'm going to be harsh here, especially since (1) LA has plenty of great sushi places and (2) I've now found sources for really great fresh seafood.
We had finished our torture at the Y and hadn't taken out anything for dinner. Thanks to a 2.5 hour…More »
