Oishiisouuuuuu, Daos!
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 Boston almost looks like what toro and chu toro is supposed to be. I can see the fat meandering throughout the entire slice.
Did that scallop from Hokaido have a light, sweet taste to it?
All your sushi looks great!
Here in Hawaii we have a restaurant called, Sushi Sasabune. Yo don't order. The chef looks at you and then makes what he thinks you'll like. NO eating with hands and NO shoyu or wasbi.
If he gives you a sauce, then that's all you need. If he doesn't brush a sauce on the sushi, then you eat it as is...otherwise he'll yell at you and may even kick you out! His sushi is very, very good. I've had some great sushi all over Japan, from Kyushu to Hokkaido and this guy's food/fish will rival anyone from Japan. To me, it is THE BEST sushi in Hawaii and has matching prices to go along with it! 
Tabemashou (let's eat!)!

Sushi Nishi-ya
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 ...
Sushi=GOOD, Jury Duty=BAD....
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
The only tobiko I saw was used as garnish
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...
So what's for lunch tomorrow?
Hopefully it's something interesting to get you thru jury duty. Maybe Philippe's French Dip on Ord St. Dim Sum at CBS Seafood? -MW
I don't go back downtown until tomorrow!
I'll have to explore around the courthouse! Will report back! Daos
now we need the same post about ur favourite sushi joint :)
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...
My favorite sushi place is run by a chef...
...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
excellent :)...
.... 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
Thanks for sharing...
lovely food to complement the not so lovely way to spend a morning. Looking forward to the next installment!!
Thanks, Rob!
Hopefully, I'll be checking out a new place soon and will post pictures of that outing. Cheers, Daos
That's it!
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...
I could eat...
...sushi and Korean BBQ every single day! The only thing better than good sushi is good FREE sushi! LOL! Cheers, Daos

OK, you made my stomach growl! :-)))
So many great sushi places in LA. I don't know if you've been to Hirozen on Beverly, but it's worth trying, IMO. Thank you for the delicious tour!
Hirozen is on my list of places to try
Thanks for the reminder! We are blessed with tons of great sushi joints in LA! Cheers, Daos
I am stuck in an airport and ...NO SUSHI ! Thank you very much Daos!
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
Yes I did, I had no other choice after such a tempting post!
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
You have a great weekend too, Luc!
BTW -- new Seat Bocanegra looks hot (just saw it in Filip's post)! When can we see them in America (nudge, nudge)!? Cheers, Daos
Thanks Daos, and it goes like a rocket but still no decision to go to the States,
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...
Aargh!
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 diamond stitching is my favorite and I cant stop using it...
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...
hmmm...looks good...
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...
You should check it out
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
Me so hungry!!!
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...
I love to try new places!
I'm always up for sushi and sake. When you come to visit LA we'll have to check out one of the local sushi places! Cheers, Daos
It's a deal!
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
The albacore looks tasty...
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 ...
One of my favorite sushi places...
...is in Little Tokyo, Sushi Go 55. I always enjoy meals there. We'll have to meet up downtown one of these days. Cheers, Daos
Sushi Nishi-ya omakase
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
We went for a belated b-day lunch today!
I especially enjoyed the white sea bass today. Yum! Cheers, Daos

We have a Sushi Sasabune here in LA too!
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 good!
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...
LA is a great city for eating
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
There's lots of good reasons to visit LA
Great food, great weather, lots of PuristS. Cheers, Daos
