Sushi Dan might be fine for lunch if you are in the area but not worth going out of your way for fine dining or a date. Neither the atmosphere nor the food was very rockin’ at Sushi Dan in Studio City. There seems to be a bit of neglect by these sushi restaurants with [...]

Kat-who-ya? What happened at Katsuya?
Evidently Katsuya has been very busy expanding over the past several years. With the most recent outpost Downtown at LA Live and employing famous designer Philip Stark to design some of the interiors. The restaurant in Hollywood is probably the most well known – especially to paparazzi and celebrities (see Crazy for Katsuya) so they [...]

Getting “Together” at Kazuyo
Nestled amongst several restaurants on Melrose, just west of La Brea, Kazuyo, which means “all together” in Filipino, was quite a pleasant surprise. Parking is a little tricky because all the neighborhood areas are for residents only (be careful because parking tickets are $55 – we found out the hard way!) If you cant find [...]

BiMi Restaurant for Sushi: Highly Pleasing or Delightful?
It’s not a small restaurant but it is a little hard to spot from the street. Probably because of the readibility of their sign. The interior was clean and it wasn’t too crowded making accommodating our large group fairly effortless (even though we did have a reservation.) There was a steady stream of patrons and [...]

Yes or No to Yen on Ventura?
In a newer strip mall near many many other sushi restaurants on sushi row in the valley is Yen Sushi & Sake Bar. From the outside it looks like a typical contemporary restaurant in a 2 story strip mall. Inside it has a much warmer feel with dark wood furniture, although not the most comfortable [...]

What’s Special at Nami Sushi?
Nami is tucked WAY in the back of a large strip mall on Van Nuys, just north of Ventura Blvd. Parking is a plenty because there is not too much else going on in this mall except for Pineapple Hill dive bar next door. The staff at Nami were super nice and helpful. There very [...]

What?! Sushi Fukyo that’s What!
That’s right! Sushi Fukyo. Talk about sushi with attitude. I mean where else can you get a Big Black Cod, Suzi B’s favorite item on the menu? Plus, this restaurant had a very fun yet familiar theme, Japanese monsters…there were posters and even small statues around the restaurant with godzilla on them. The restaurant is [...]
