"When a sushi restaurant starts expanding around LA, you might worry quality will suffer. That’s not the case with Brothers. This Valley sushi spot has a sizeable third location in downtown Culver, which is easily the neighborhood’s best raw fish option. Dinner can get spendy (the 15-course omakase runs $140 per person), but there’s also an a la carte menu with hot and cold dishes that keeps prices manageable. At lunch, expect specials like five nigiri and a spicy tuna roll for $28, or a loaded chirashi bowl with ten kinds of premium fish for $55." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
