Kaori Sushi かおり寿司

"Kaori Sushi is living proof that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Don't let its location within a nondescript open-air mall fool you, as this spot's flavors are anything but ho-hum. The menu may not be large, but it includes a list of daily dish selections, cooked dishes, such as mara udon or gyu tongue, and more unusual choices like kani blue crab 'risotto.' An entire menu is dedicated to the restaurant's well-regarded 'rolls,' but stick to the classic sashimi and nigiri." - MICHELIN Guide

"Kaori Sushi is living proof that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Don't let its location within a nondescript open-air mall fool you, as this spot's flavors are anything but ho-hum. Inside, a riot of lanterns of all shapes and sizes brighten this space where traditional izakaya vibes reign.The menu may not be large, but it includes a list of daily dish selections, cooked dishes, such as mara udon or gyu tongue, and more unusual choices like kani blue crab "risotto." An entire menu is dedicated to the restaurant's well-regarded "rolls," but stick to the classic sashimi and nigiri to savor slices of fish like golden eye snapper; thick saba sitting over shiso and rice; beautiful toro sided by wasabi; or a delicious duo of ika topped with yuzu kosho." - Michelin Inspector

"Half a dozen Los Angeles restaurants, and three from Orange County, were added to the California Michelin Guide this week." - Cathy Chaplin
