Known forLittle Tokyo institutioncash-friendlylong lines worth it
A no-frills Little Tokyo sushi bar that has been serving impeccably fresh, traditionally prepared sushi since 1980. The sashimi lunch special is one of the best deals in the city — thick-cut fish at honest prices. Expect a line out the door at lunch; dinner is easier but still busy.
