I guess I’m not so food-fashion forward after all. Here I thought I was one step ahead on the culinary runway, when I look left, look right, and see that both Los Angeles Magazine and Food and Wine have both highlighted sushi in their most recent September 2005 issues. Sheesh. Well, let’s take a look-see, shall we? Today, Los Angeles “In the Raw,” a list of the best 15 sushi joints in La La Land. Gawd, I love lists.

They did it alphabetically, but let’s face it, here in LA, the freeway matters, so I categorized by region:

Asanebo – 11941 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, 818.760.3348
Katsu-Ya – 11680 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, 818.985.6976
Tama Sushi – 11920 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, 818.760.4585

Westside
The Hump – 3221 Donald Douglas Loop South, Santa Monica Airport, Santa Monica 310.313.0977
Mori Sushi – 11500 West pico Boulevard, West Los Angeles, 310.479.3939
Sakura – 4545 South Centinela Avenue, Los Angeles, 310.822.7790
Sushi Tenn – 2004 Sawtelle Boulevard, West Los Angeles, 310.473.2388

Southbay
Kantaro Sushi – 1542 West Carson Street, Torrance, 310.320.0200

LA Central
Matsuhisa – 129 North La Cienega Boulevard, Beverly Hills, 310.659.9639
Nishimura – 8684 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, 310.659.4770
Shibucho – 3114 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, 213.387.8498
Sushi Gen – 422 East 2nd Street, Downtown Los Angeles, 213.617.0552
Sushi Ike – 6051 Hollywod Boulevard, Hollywood, 323.856.9972
Urasawa – Two Rodeo, 218 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, 310.247.8939

I would also add Sushi Hirosuke in Encino to the list of Valley sushi joints.

I can personally vouch for Central LA's Sushi Ike! He is the absolute BEST and his sushi is ALWAYS fresh and just melts in your mouth! :)

Being a recent transplant from LA to the "outback" of the East Coast, I sure miss
excellent sushi! I *do* have confidence though that the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area of beautiful PA will soon be on the cutting edge of sushi lovers everywhere and rivaling the NYC area and LA! :)
