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 [...]

First Westside Sushi: Sushi King
Ahh, we finally made it to the westside to our Editor, Ruth’s favorite neighborhood spot, Sushi King (see her review on Yahoo! Local.) Being a little biased and knowing what to order here probably helped in our loving this place so much. But in addition to great sushi, large portions and reasonable prices, Sushi King [...]
