"Hamasaku might be in a strip mall on Santa Monica Boulevard, but this is basically Brentwood, so this ain’t no hole-in-the-wall. But luckily, just because it’s a little bit fancy in here doesn’t mean you’re paying crazy prices for your sushi. The omakase is $55, very generous (with miso soup, egg custard, and dessert included), and they throw in interesting options like cuttlefish. Also the chances of seeing Robert Pattinson are about 2:1, so have your Team Edward shirt ready to go." - jess basser sanders
