After a heinous day of jury duty in downtown Los Angeles, I decided to treat myself to an extravagant (for me) sushi lunch to cheer myself up before going back into the office for the remainder of the afternoon. Since moving from Hollywood to the suburbs ...
Hello Daos, Food looks good, I gotta try this place. I actually like salmon with the smokey flavor but not a fan of amaebi. When scallops are fresh, it sure is tasty! Do they have tobiko? No dessert? -MW
I'm sure you could've ordered it though IF you sat at the tables. The sushi bar serves omakase only. No way I had room for dessert after all that food. I was so stuffed I thought they'd have to roll me out of the restaurant! I'm just trying to hold onto s...
thanks for the nice post. My mouth is watery right now. If i may, the toro didnt look fatty enough. The white straps being the fat, and mainly what gives the nice taste and the smooth texture. Aaaagh, i've jst ordered spaghetti bolognese .. they better be...
...known around town as "the sushi Nazi." I don't think I could get pictures there, but I will try to take pictures soon at another restaurant I'm trying for the first time called Eva. How was the spaghetti bolognese? Cheers, Daos
.... i mean the spaghetti :P.. And dont risk ur life for those pics. I mean if the guy has such a nickname , there must be a reason. U dont have to discover what is that reason K
I MUST have sushi tomorrow! I'm hungry now. I miss the days when I used to work for this Japanese guy and he used to take me out for sushi meals for meetings.....best sushi I ever had...and best of all I didn't have to pay! Thanks for sharing Daos, quaint...
feeling much better now. Somebody said: "with friends like that you do not need enemies"... LOL Looks great and tasteful, great photos Thanks anyway. Luc
I just got home after thousands of flight miles and got a sushi meal delivered at home but no photos. all already consumed1 Have a good week end Cheers Luc
I suppose that the economical situation will accelerate their decision, I Cant wait for it! Glad you like it I had fun designing it... and seeing the face of my boss when I showed it to him ( He asked if you need an gun license to drive it ) cheers, Luc...
I LOVE the quilted bucket seats! So mod! Are those sculpted lines on the rocker panel? The LED headlights are also a hot touch (one of my favorite things about the current Audis). This design really hits for me; aggressive nose, and stance, luxe interior,...
The rockers are carved to enhance the athletic stance. You are really a freak!, you noticed all the details! You put the finger on it, cannibalization is a topic especially if this spanish brand could generate a lot of sympathy from the hispanic generatio...
too bad about the toro..I am a big toro fan...and from reading..I think I know exactly what you meant by it being a bit subpar... but...I think I do need to try it..any place that don't serve california rolls is interesting...
The restaurant is definitely worth trying and the owners seem very kind and focused on serving fresh fish. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ever visit Sushi Nishi-ya! Cheers, Daos
Hi, Daos! I am happy to learn you are off jury, and boy was your reward well worth the effort! All the dishes look super tasty! Sorry to hear about the toro, though. It is a tricky dish. I ate one last week at a local sushi joint here in my hometown and i...
Hi, Daos, You're on! From the look of things and how my calendar is shaping up I may be able to squeeze in a trip sometime before spring! Yei!!!! Will get in touch with you once it's clearer. Looking forward to it! Alex
Hi Daos, Yum, especially the albacore dish. I love anything with ponzu. The broiled ell looks really good too, nicely charred on the outside. I'm craving sushi now . Good thing lunch time is only an hour away and Little Tokyo is only 10 minutes away from ...
The omakase looks delicious Daos! Thanks for sharing, I'll have to this to my places to visit. When are you taking CaliforniaJed there :P Regards, ED-209
Sushi. My wife, Patti and I, just love sushi. We have it virtually weekly. The toro looked good, however, chu toro is the fattier of the two and some places in Japan have what is called, "Bin" toro, pronounced Bean Toro. In your first shot, the tuna from ...
It's pretty good! I can't wait to try your Sasabune! Yum! The Hokkaido scallop was indeed light, delicate and sweet. I enjoyed every bite. I could eat sushi everyday! Cheers! Daos
Looks delish! Thanks for sharing Daos. Sorry to hear about your Jury Duty. We all dislike jury duty. The place looks delicious; it's such a pity that it seems when I come to Southern California now, I feel like a tourist and I end up eating like a tourist...
It may not have the foodie street cred of San Francisco or NYC, but there is a wonderful diversity of food available here across all price ranges. Cheers, Daos
