"Uoichiba is run by the owner of Joint Seafood, a fish market in Sherman Oaks known for dry-aging seafood in big cold cases. The same dry-aged fish shows up in the handrolls here, and while it tastes like great thick-cut sashimi, the difference is subtle. The temaki sets stick to fish-focused fillings, but we prefer cheeky a la carte options like the toasted lox roll. Our main quibble is that the sushi rice could use more seasoning, but overall these are solid rolls priced a few bucks above KazuNori. Seating is mostly limited to stools at their locations in Sherman Oaks and Culver City’s Citizen Public Market, so your lower back says don’t plan on lingering." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
