"Sushi is an essential food group in Brentwood, and while there are plenty of mediocre places that have been around since the ’80s and near-constant lines at the local Sugarfish, we go to Sasabune instead. This small restaurant on Wilshire is an LA classic where you should be getting a seat at the sushi bar and opting for the omakase. In the tasting meal, expect standards like tuna sashimi with ponzu, nigiri, and a crab handroll, as well as incredible cooked butterfish, and uni if you’re in the mood. The $100 price tag isn’t cheap, but it's a reasonable price to pay for high-quality sushi." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
