"Daichan in Studio City specializes in the kind of Japanese comfort food you need after a terrible week, like large bowls of poki made with vinegared sushi rice that came from the Aroma sauna just seconds prior. Compared to other poke bowls that have more toppings than a Sweetgreen salad, these ones are stripped-back. Each spoonful has warm rice, buttery fish, and a little smooch of soy dressing—that’s it. For $27, the negitoro bowl comes with more fatty tuna than you’d get at an omakase, but we also love the scallop bowl with red pickled ginger for a spicy and salty one-two punch." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
