The Great LA Sushi Hunt

This Japanese-style pub is a great addition to the Katsu-ya family. All the Katsu-ya favorites are here (spicy tuna on crispy rice and albacore with crispy onions) but there are also welcome additions like lamb and short ribs.

Located on an unsuspecting stretch of La Cienega, Boss is a reasonably priced sushi restaurant with a menu so long it could be referred to as reading material. They’ve got many a crazy roll for the tasting, but the tuna tartar “nachos” (don’t worry, they use rice chips) are king.

Yes, this place is located in Calabasas, and it is the size of your living room, but you won’t be sorry if you squeeze yourself in there. Everything on this menu is delectable (especially the spicy tuna on crispy rice cakes). And try not to lose your lunch if you see the sisters Kardashian— their store is in the same minimall.

Choosing a sushi restaurant in Little Tokyo may seem a little daunting, but you can’t go wrong with Haru Ulala. A filling dinner (including drinks!) for two can be had for under $40. The sushi is tasty, but don’t restrict yourself to the fish— the small plates are excellent. Where else can you get a piece of deep-fried sweet potato on a stick?
