Let's talk about sushi...

[Kid Nickels]



That was Chef Yasuda on the Bourdain show - who not too long ago moved from NY to Tokyo.  His former spot in NYC - Sushi Yasuda - was one of the best in the country.  In LA: Mori, Zo, Q and Go's Mart would be my picks unless we are talking $375 per head Urasawa level.  Sugarfish is not bad but is not traditional in the way they sauce their fish - although that can be good for a change of pace.  LA has a massive Japanese population and has arguably the best sushi in the US though some may argue the very high end in NYC (ie Masa) is better.

yeah that was the show.. good call and thanks for the recommendations!
