The 20 Best Places For Cheap Sushi In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"We’ve all picked up grocery store sushi in a pinch, but Yama offers is a cut above. The third outpost of this Japanese market mini-chain does freshly made sushi to-go at prices that won’t make you spiral. Rolls hover around $7-8, and the sushi rice in them stays surprisingly fluffy even after refrigeration. There’s also a seafood counter where the chefs slice sashimi by weight, plus shelves stocked with Japanese snacks, pantry goods, mochi, and tea. Yama is a quick lunch option worth going out of your way for—grab a roll or order a bento box at the front and scarf it down with a yuzu soda at one of the umbrella-covered tables out front. Or don’t. This stuff travels well." - garrett snyder, cathy park, brant cox, jess basser sanders
