Brothers Sushi, one of the Valley’s Best, Opens in Santa Monica Soon | Eater LA

"I learned via local Westside blog Toddrickallen, with confirmation to Eater, that Brothers Sushi is expanding to Santa Monica by taking over the closed Maria’s Italian Kitchen space at 1008 Montana Avenue. The Woodland Hills–based spot plans to keep much of its current menu and feel, from the omakase by chef Mark Okuda to a wide array of à la carte options. Over the past couple of years it has racked up countless accolades for its fresh fish and bento boxes, even as the pandemic shut down indoor and on-site dining for more than 15 months. There’s no timetable for the Santa Monica opening yet, though paperwork is already up for a beer-and-wine license." - Farley Elliott
