"There's something a proper omakase that makes you feel like a kingpin, and if that's your goal, the one with the best bang for your buck is at Sushi Chitose, an omakase specialist in Redondo Beach. It’s $85 for the 12-piece omakase, which includes high-quality cuts of fish, a piece of toro, and a great miso soup appetizer. Just be sure to call ahead for a reservation—this place fills up quickly." - garrett snyder, cathy park, brant cox, jess basser sanders
