Sushi Sasabune

15 Restaurants That'll Make You Fall In Love With LA Again - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"On a pretty anonymous part of Wilshire on the Brentwood-Santa Monica border, Sasabune stands still in time, with a small sushi bar, a handful of tables, and what we like to think of as a quintessentially LA omakase. It starts with sashimi, ends with a crab hand roll, and includes a whole lot of nigiri in between. If that all sounds familiar, know that Sasabune does the Sugarfish thing better than anyone (even Sugarfish).  There are higher-quality sushi spots around LA, to be clear, but that’s not the point of this particular genre of low-key sushi joint: you can walk in pretty much whenever, eat a bunch of excellent raw fish, and feel instantly revived. Your Sasabune might not even be Sasabune. But the fact that we all have one is what makes Los Angeles so damn special." - brant cox, garrett snyder, jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins, cathy park
