"This high-end sushi bar in Woodland Hills exemplifies dining in the Valley in the best way possible. Although the energy here is laid back and casual (you can almost guarantee there will be a table of small, loud children with their parents), the sushi is first-rate. The signature chirashi is one of our favorites in the city, packed with creamy uni, sweet and succulent scallops, and fatty toro that has so much marbling it belongs in a Greek temple. We also appreciate the variety of omakase options, from the $100 lunch option to a $160 nigiri-only and $200 tiers at dinner. Not up for a trek to the Valley? Brother's Sushi also has locations in Santa Monica and Culver City." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
