Sushi Chitose

"LA’s South Bay has several great, affordable sushi places, but one of the best bang for your buck is at Sushi Chitose, an omakase spot in Redondo Beach. It’s $75 for the 15-piece omakase, which includes high-quality cuts of fish, a piece of toro, and a great miso soup appetizer. Be sure to call ahead for a reservation—this place fills up quickly." - garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins

"Sushi Chitose has a fantastic, affordable omakase in an almost impossible-to-spot building on PCH. It gets pretty crowded, so come early or make a reservation, preferably at the bar where you can watch baseball behind the heads of the people preparing your fish. For $75, you’ll get somewhere around 15 pieces of fish, plus an appetizer, some belly cuts, and a dessert. All the sushi here is great, but you’ll probably end up asking for another piece of the fantastic, shiso-topped snapper." - brant cox, nikko duren, kat hong, garrett snyder, sylvio martins

"Priced at just $75 per person, the omakase from Hirofumi “Gen” Sakamoto offers one of the best deals in town. Settle into 15 pieces of terrific sushi that impresses even the snobbiest of sushi-goers — the varieties of fish range from familiar cuts to more obscure ones." - Matthew Kang

"The best part about the South Bay is the affordable sushi selection, and none offers more bang for one’s buck than Chitose located along Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach. The relaxed atmosphere is quiet and restrained with expert sushi chef Gen preparing omakase meals for under $100 a person." - Matthew Kang
