Sushi Tsujita

Sushi Tsujita locates on Sawtelle Boulevard, the West Side’s Little Tokyo, where there is no shortage of competing Japanese restaurants - but here is a steadfast classic sushi experience for you, with elegant geodesic patterns and glowing chandeliers adorning the space.

With veteran Tokyo sushi chef Shigeru Kato at the helm, a new heavyweight for Japanese food has emerged. When you arrive for dinner, you'll find an ambitious and occasionally bizarre omakase menu that includes everything from braised abalone with tofu skin to homemade squid cake with a stalk of puffed rice. Lunch here can be much more expensive than down the street at the noodle shop. The lunch menu is the best perk, as an amazing chirashi dish can be had for as low as $15. You'll get the same fish as those who choose the more expensive omakase, with a few fewer cosmetic cuts. It's like a sashimi Nordstrom Rack, and it’s one of the city's most enticing sushi deals.
