    Default Favorite sushi places in LA?

    Especially looking for a place for Monday night with great saki and people-watching.

    From personal experience, for people watching and atmosphere, Yamashiro's is hard to beat.

    For a "hipper" feel, I've heard good things about Katana but haven't hit it yet..

    Thanks. Looks like Monday night is a non-sushi outing with family. So now I am looking at Tuesday night.

    There's expensive fancy sushi everywhere in Hollywood, but the best place for locals is on the corner of Franklin and Highland. It's in a little strip mall next to a dry cleaners and a Subway, and it doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's the best sushi in Hollywood, hands down. I'm not a big sushi fan but I like the stuff they have here, and K is a sushi addict so we go there often. They also have an extensive sake selection; my favorite one has a slight banana taste and it's delicious.

    Just pick the board for the specific region you want.

    I'd meet you at Shintaro, but I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Montana. Have a good trip though!

    Hells bells!

    Alrighty, any other raw fish eaters? I can go either Monday or Tuesday night. Don't let me eat yellowtail all alone!

    Cheers.

    Have some of the banana sake for me. It's good stuff. They serve their sake ice cold in these special decanters with an ice pocket in the middle, and it's amazing. I don't like any other sake except the banana sake at Shintaro.
