"This is a pioneering sushi restaurant that aims to please on a high level of execution. The house specialities are approachable and inventive (sea bass with butter lettuce, toro tuna with shiso pesto, egg custard with Santa Barbara uni) but they’re also not above making a spicy tuna roll—part of the reason it's so popular. This is one of the cozier expressions of L.A. strip-mall sushi design, with the lighting just a bit dimmer and the vibe a little warmer." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams
