"Between places like Sushi Fumi and Jinpachi, the best sushi in West Hollywood is typically found in small, bar-like settings. But that’s not Uchi. This upscale Japanese restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd. looks like a high-end airport lounge with multiple dining rooms, a separate bar area, and a large street-facing patio. The menu is equally large, so stick mostly to the unique-sounding hot and cold dishes that catch your eye, then pepper in a few rounds of nigiri for the table. The daikon salad with crispy rice, smoked yellowtail on a yuca tostada, and the sakana mushi, flaky white fish braised in a sweet tom kha broth, are all standouts." - brant cox
