I had taken Greg to Saito's when he was in town last year and he was eager to take Sara there on this trip. We spent the afteroon checking out the last day of the Klimt exhibit and walking around the La Brea Tar Pits so were ready for some great sushi. I always start with the Albacore Salad and it did not disappoint--lightly seared melt-in-the-mouth albacore sashimi with a ponzu sauce and chopped scallions. I could eat that every day. I don't normally order tuna sushi because I don't find it to be very flavorful but Greg and Sara wanted it and I'm so glad they did. This was some of the best tuna sushi I've ever had. More like toro, this tuna was absolutely lucious. We also had the Japanese Spanish Mackerel which was superb and something my friends said they normally don't like. The halibut and hamachi were all super fresh and fantastic. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing sushi place in my neighborhood. Anyone want to go again?

This place is awful, don't do it. Tuna had tendons in it, double the price it should have been, very little variety, bums outside ready to ask you for money
i agree with amberspahr... i liive nearby and wish it were even decent. but unfortunately it sucks.
