The 15 Hottest New Restaurants in Los Angeles, May 2024

"Tucked into a hard-to-find second-floor space with no windows at Gardena’s Tokyo Central Market, Waka Sakura represents a new level of quality in conveyor belt sushi that one would typically find in Japan. Here, plates run a few dollars more than at budget spots like Kura Sushi, but the overall freshness and execution, from the provenance and seasoning of the rice to the freshness of the fish, are worth the premium. Waits are pretty long, up to an hour, so put your name down and go shopping for Japanese groceries downstairs. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
