Buddy convinced me to branch out a bit from my favorite sushi joint, Saito's, so we headed down to Little Tokyo to a place he had been once before. The inside of the tiny restaurant is mostly taken up by a u-shaped sushi bar, manned by two chefs. The waitresses brought us each steaming hot towels and took our drink order and returned with a tall, cold bottle of Sapporo to share. Over the course of the evening we downed albacore, toro (the good one at $10 per order rather than the cheaper version at $5), snapper, hamachi, more hamachi and some miso soup with clams. Did I mention the hamachi? It was the melt-in-your-mouth variety as was the albacore and toro. (It seems you can hardly go wrong with these in most sushi restaurants). The final tab was around $80 plus tip which is about what is to be expected for excellent sushi. Lucky for me I had forgotten my wallet (Oops!). Thanks Buddy. Get you next time?
