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 [...]

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 [...]

Last Minute Change – Kazu instead of Midori
Well, due to a surprise guest in our rotating spot, we decided to postpone the ‘all you can eat’ and go for something a little more traditional with Kazu Sushi. Unfortunately, our surprise guest had a last minute surprise for us and wasn’t able to make it (thanks Ted!), but we decided to continue on [...]

Getting Ready for Midori
We are all going on diets, planning our loose fitting outfits, and planning to need to loosen our belts for August’s sushi club at Midori – and all you can eat small sushi chain in the valley (again, I know.) So look out for lots and lots of pictures in our next review since we [...]

Iroha Sushi of Tokyo (of ‘the Valley’)
We’re back and this time the A/C was pumping, so it was nice and chill!
Since Sushi Club was created while we were at Ahi Sushi last time, we are considering this our first full featured review. We were more prepared, took notes and photos and everyone was excited to get started.
Keep in mind that we [...]

Ready for the Redeaux!
Well, we were suppose to kickoff sushi club at Iroha last month but due to some unfortunate circumstances (their A/C was out on an amazingly hot day) we decided to abort. So it only seemed natural to revisit Iroha for our second outing, which is planned for Wednesday, July 16.
More details and photos to come!

Ahi Sushi (aka Sushi Club Kick-Off)
Last night sushi club was created!
We started out in the valley on Ventura Blvd. Our original plan was to eat at Iroha, which many of us had been to and know how good it is. Unfortunately, their A/C was out and it was 100º+ that day, so we ventured elsewhere.
Luckily for us, we were on [...]
