The 25 Best Sushi Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Come any day of the week to Sakae (except Mondays when they’re closed) and you’ll find parents, hip Gen-Zers, and grandmas running errands waiting in line outside. It’s a cash-only, family-run shop that’s been open since the ’60s, hidden behind an office building in Gardena that serves retro handmade sushi. Get a box of eight pieces for about $37, wrapped up in beautiful white parchment paper and a green bow, so you can try each variety on the menu. There are bright yellow tamago maki enveloped in a fluffy, sweet egg blanket and tongue-curling sabazushi, a bite-sized piece of pickled mackerel placed on a mound of vinegared rice." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
