18 Best Sushi Restaurants in Los Angeles | Condé Nast Traveler

"Shibucho is possibly the most polarizing restaurant in L.A. , but the quality of the food is almost never in question. The chef's buri (adult yellowtail) is famously steak-like and cut to perfection, and he (blessedly) includes temaki in the omakase. His uni, often sourced from nearby Santa Barbara and served in temaki, is unmatched, as is the sea eel nigiri that materializes toward the end. Not for the faint of heart, the restaurant is best for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience at a hole-in-the-wall sushi spot." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams
