"This tiny spot in Sherman Oaks couldn’t be less similar to Katsu-ya, or as we like to call it: clubs pretending to be restaurants. Instead of people in bodycon dresses eating $20 rolls, you’ll find couples on casual dates having a quick meal at the sushi bar before catching a movie. The sushi here is not only better than what you’d get at the Hollywood Katsuya, but about a third of the price, too. It’s a great spot to get a mix of things:a few nigiri, some crispy rice with spicy tuna, and a roll or two." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
