"Sushi Tsujita is a great option if you want to do omakase on the cheaper side without sacrificing quality. This Sawtelle spot from the people behind Tsujita Artisan Noodle offers three omakase levels—$49, $69, and $89—all of which include three appetizers and a little scoop of sake ice cream for dessert (a nice touch). We recommend the priciest tier (the Tokyo) which includes premium items like a toro hand roll and buttery wagyu nigiri. An a la carte menu is also available, but unless you eat three pieces of nigiri and call it a night, you’re not getting much of a deal." - garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins
"This striking Sawtelle Japantown sushi spot serves a slate of reasonably priced omakase sets. Menus start at $49 and include appetizers, seven nigiri pieces, two hand rolls, and dessert. The $89 option includes two more nigiri, a wagyu course, and a “catch of the day,” plus spicy salmon and toro hand rolls. Choose one of the thoughtful sake selections and have a night of excellent — and affordable — sushi." - Matthew Kang
"Like the Jonas Brothers, there’s a third Tsujita restaurant in Sawtelle that people don’t talk about as much. That’s Sushi Tsujita, and it’s also the easiest one to get into. This sushi bar is great if you want an omakase on the cheaper side without sacrificing quality. They offer three omakase options—$49, $69, and $89—which include appetizers like fried scallops with mango dressing and a salmon sashimi cocktail. We recommend the priciest tier (the Tokyo), which includes a toro hand roll, nine pieces of nigiri, and buttery wagyu torched in front of you. An a la carte menu is also available, but unless you eat three pieces of nigiri and call it a night, you’re not getting much of a deal." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore

"Like the Jonas Brothers, there’s a third Tsujita restaurant that people don’t talk about as much. That’s the underappreciated Sushi Tsujita, a fairly casual sushi bar on Sawtelle that, unlike its ramen siblings, doesn’t require waiting in line for 45 minutes. This spot is popular with UCLA students who want quality sushi on a budget and parents on dates with their teenagers. A la carte nigiri is available, but the main draw here is the reasonably priced omakase. There are three set menus to choose from —$49, $69, or $89—all of which include three appetizers and a little scoop of sake ice cream for dessert (a nice touch). We recommend the priciest tier (the Tokyo), which features eight pieces of nigiri, plus premium items like a toro hand roll and wagyu blow-torched in front of you. Walk-ins are welcome, but the staff gets overwhelmed easily, so making a reservation over the phone is the best move." - Sylvio Martins
