"Once upon a time, Culver City was a sushi desert but then Uzumaki came along. The calm, wood-filled space and its $28 set lunch menu feel Sugarfish-ish in all the right ways, and the fish is great quality for the price. Expect a few pieces of nigiri, a cut roll, and a Japanese spin on ceviche with your set menu. But if you're not in the mood for omakase, you can also order a la carte without your check getting out of control. Use it for a small team lunch or casual midweek dinner that doesn’t involve an hour-and-a-half wait." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
