"This Valley sushi spot's latest expansion is a location in downtown Culver City, which immediately became the neighborhood’s best raw fish option when it opened. The dinner omakase can get spendy, which is why we prefer lunch, when they roll out specials like five nigiri and a spicy tuna roll for $28, or a fully loaded chirashi bowl for $55. That’s not cheap for a solo lunch, but for a treat-yourself moment, ten kinds of premium fish—including dry-aged toro, shrimp, scallop, amberjack, and uni—over warm sushi rice is worth every penny. It’s also a large space with plenty of tables, in the event your co-workers want to tag along. " - nikko duren, brant cox
