Los Angeles has a slew of sushi spots. Which is perfect for a city that is very down with the raw fish. So, if you’re looking for your next maki roll, sushi or sashimi, here are some places for you to check out:
Saito’s Sushi
On a budget? Get your butt to this Silver Lake local spot. Chef Saito creates plates of innovative sushi that are still affordable! 4339 W Sunset Blvd.; 323.663.8890
Wa Sushi & Bistro
A WeHo spot among all your usual staple restaurants, offers a unique experience. Fill up on unexpected seasonings like black truffles and pesto. Come on. Be a little adventurous. 1106 N La Cienega Blvd.; 310.854.7285
Sushi Park
Sushi Park is unassuming against the ritzy spots on Sunset. This is more of you on baller status. It’s Omakase-only and comes with a hefty bill. But with that, the chef walks you through each dish and the experience is worth every penny! 8539 Sunset Blvd., Suite 20; 310.652.0523
Sushi Gen
Resys are recommended for dinner at this spot. As for lunch, it’s only $15 for rice, miso and a sampling of little plates. 422 East 2nd St.; 213.617.0552
Hiko Sushi
Sawtelle is known for sushi restaurants, but check this one out. They are straight forward with their sushi fare here. 11275 National Blvd.; 310.463.7688
Asanebo
Here’s a little secret. Strip malls usually have the best restaurants. This Studio City gem may be a little pricey, but order up the Miso Chilean Sea Bass With Daikon in a butter lettuce cup, Roasted Gingko Nuts in sea salt and the Halibut Sashimi with black truffle. 11941 Ventura Blvd.; 818.760.3348
