Bar Hayama Sushi

Sushi chefs at  Toshi Sugiura's Bar Hayama on Sawtelle are fun and friendly, this is a sushi bar you can easily go to alone for a few pieces of sushi or kosara (little plates at the sake bar, ) or for a full blown feast with friends in the fancier dining room. Hayama sushi is exceptional and inventive, and its traditional to ultra creative fusion style Japanese dishes make for a memorable dining experience. Outside fire pit dining and roof top fire pit are available as well as elegant seating inside, and for toddy lovers,  one sake bar as well as a full bar in the dining area. 

Hayama is most delicious for lunch or early dinner 

of kosara when it is less crowded, and

with better service and guaranteed flawless sushi.

Sai Sai Sushi, Downtown Los Angeles

Sai Sai

More than just exceptional sushi, Sai Sai offers up inspiring Asian fusion at its best.
Too beautiful to eat Bento boxes are a Downtown lunch hour favorite,

Shrimp Tempura is best enjoyed as a single perfect piece, eating more than one dulls the palate

Shown: traditional sushi platter

Sai Sai real claim to fame is its innovative and unique flavor and texture combinations

Cherry, orange, lychee
Sai Sai also infuses it's own shochu with seasonal fresh fruits.
The luscious mixtures are lovingly displayed along the back wall doubling as art

Sasabune Faves II

Hirame

please, do yourself a favor, and don't dip the sushi in that crazy soy-wasabi-ginger slury, nonsense you've created in your dipping dish ...trust your sushi chef ...eat it exactly as it is.....
If you must have soy, dip only the fish portion, the rice if dipped will act as a sponge and completely ruin the taste and work of the sushi artist/chef
Sashimi may be dipped in soy sauce and wasabi that is just barely blended, but only when accompanied by rice
a tiny bite of ginger between each dish is a perfect palate cleanser, too much will paralyze your palate, and is a waste of good sushi

Sasabune, LA's Best Sushi

Sasabune

Broiled, crisp and smokey Salmon skin, maki sushi perfection


Salmon with a gossamer strip of kelp and a tiny sprinkle of sesame seeds, heaven!



This is the Los Angeles location on Wilshire, a smaller Sasabune can be found in NY, both maintain a no sushi nonsense rule. Say California roll and you may be asked to leave, but it's that purist attitude that is behind the most delicious dance of perfectly balanced flavors.
