"For a long time, if you wanted affordable sushi for lunch in Beverly Hills, your options were limited to Sugarfish (which we like) or grocery store sushi (which we also like). But then Rockpool came along. This casual, barebones bar serves sushi sets featuring California-sourced seafood (something you don’t see too often). Get the 10-piece lunch special for $38, which includes high-quality cuts like seared local rockfish and bluefin tuna on warm sushi rice with a nice kiss of vinegar. It’s all very impressive for its reasonable price tag, and even more so if you’ve already eaten Ralph’s avocado rolls three times this week. " - sylvio martins, brant cox
