First let me apologize, I havent seen the original few articles on
this topic, so dont know if this subject is particular to a certain
area or type of Sushi Bar, but that's never stopped me before.
You've got to be talking about Sakura. Its also one of my favorites.
They have one of the few "all you can eat for an hour" specials that
is worth the time, much less the money...
In the "area" also, is "Yuu" on Santa Monica near Sepulveda. One of
the few places that you have a choice of different brands of Sake. I
recommend them for those of you who like good Sushi and also like to
experiment in the unusual.
They are a bit pricy though, and if you dont watch it, the Sushi man
may feed you enough specials to break your budget (can you say $175
for two people in around an hour!)
For those of you in the South Bay, I have two suggestions; Tomisushi
on PCH at Pearl in Redondo is my absolute favorite. Been going there
for about 10 years. As Koba (owner) buys fish daily at around lunch
time, it is always a treat to drop in for lunch as he has usually
picked up a bunch of special items that will likely be gone very soon!
The biggest problem I have had with Tomi is that Koba typically calls
nearly anything a "Honeymoon Special" when you ask what it is. So
there is a lot of items I dont know the name of, thus when at another
"bar" I have to point and say "One of those" or "It looks like ..."
In Harbor City, on Sepulveda between Normandie and Western is Hakone
(behind the Arby's!). They are relatively inexpensive, are nice folk
and the fish is good! Thursday's is best, as that is when they
have just got back from the fish market.
