"Hamasaku, West La. In LA we usually try to avoid restaurants in characterless strip malls, but once in a while, a place like this pops up and forces you to make an exception. This is not your typical LA hole-in-the-wall Sushi joint. Decorated with a clean, modern, Zen sensibility, this more upscale dining option is where you go when you want to make Sushi more of an event. The menu is loaded with innovative and elegant takes on all your favorite Sushi fare as well as a great selection of small plates and hot food. If you’re in the mood to splurge, try their Omakase, which means you leave it up to the chef to create a delightful seven course adventure."
