Uoichiba Handroll

Uochiba Handroll Bar - Review - Culver City - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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 use simple 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 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." - Garrett Snyder
