"LA’s South Bay has several great, relatively 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. All the sushi is superb, but you’ll probably end up asking for another piece of the fantastic shiso-topped snapper. Just be sure to call ahead for a reservation—this place fills up quickly." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, 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." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park
