It's called "It Zushi" in westwood.

Normally I would never recommend a Korean-run place for sushi as I usually prefer authentic Japanese.

But this place has some of the BEST quality fish, and some of the BEST rolls I've ever had. I don't say that lightly... I take sushi seriously

Someone mentioned Sakura, I've heard it was good but haven't tried it

I have a couple of other places too, but It Zushi is the best for groups and will have the most crowd-pleasing food IMO

 

all this talk and only 3 people on the list?

 

when and where?

 

yeah.. i dont know that yet. i'm thinking either this sunday or next weekend?
middle of the week is bad for us working folk.
the place... either one of the places suggested above or a couple places i have in mind, one's in montrose the other in hollywood.

 

sushi

 

yes, ben... sushi.

your point?

 

sorry but Rolls arent sushi... just FYI

 

if you're lookin for REAL sushi, may I recommend in the West-side area

1) Torafuku
2) Mori
-you're lookin at about 150-300 a person Omakaze

Sakura is really good for the price. About 70 per person.

Remember, these prices are NOT for no California Rolls, or BLT Rolls, or
350z rolls, etc. Its for real sushi.

 

never claimed they were, read the post again. Hamachi......

edit: I think my 3 years in Japan would qualify me to know what sushi is.

 

yea i read it again and you said you know a great sushi place and you mentioned rolls and hamachi. I mean its no big deal. But living in Japan for 3 years you know you would get berated for using Rolls and sushi in the same sentence.

 

Even though "rolls aren't sushi"

if you go with a group of people, it's important to go to a place that has good selection of rolls + "real sushi" to make everyone happy.

Hence my suggestion above.

 

 

^ about the same here, there was this really great place in diamond plaza in rowland heights, Tenga Sushi, but too bad its closed down.

 

Was tenga sushi right by The Boat? That place was disgusting.

 

ooh yay. and plus, Zushi has a Z in it

okay, I'm a dork.

 

Lets go to this guys place, we all chip in 20 bucks each and he supplies all the Sushi/Rolls and Saki and what not. Soundz good to me.

Sakura is good, I went there for lunch last Friday and paid like $30 for 2 people and Saki, so I dont know what is meant by 70 per person......maybe he meant 70 pesos or 70 yen

Also, I dont think peeps wit Zs typically drop $300 on a meal for 1 person. If I remember correctly Blue Fish was like $100 for 4 people with booze. Thats not bad at all.

 

damn. do you know of any good places around the rowland heights area.

 

$70 was for omakase/chef's choice.

 

i'm with ryan on this... i love sushi and all but my place in life right now doesn't permit me to drop $300 for fish and seaweed and rice
i was thinking more along the lines of $30-50 a person including drinks?

 

Hah, I thought you were going to say Sushi Deli 2. Sushi isn't great, but $5.50 for a sake and 22oz Sapporo you can never go wrong.

I'll have to check that out since it's right down the street from me... Perhaps another night - I'm hitting Sushi Ota this evening...
