Best Strip Mall Sushi

The valley is known for having some of the best sushi in the city- there are hundreds of options to choose from on Ventura. I have many favorite sushi joints, but Sushi Don in Studio City is my favorite hole in the wall, get in and get out, no waiting for a table type of restaurant.
Sushi Don is the little brother of Sasabune in West Los Angeles. Just as fresh, just as delicious as its counterpart but with a price tag you can feel good about. No fancy seared tuna rolls or baked crab with scallops- just fresh Nigiri, Donburi (rice bowl) heavenly miso soup, simple rolls sans icky mayo, and of course, the ever present California Roll.
Keep in mind, this is not a romantic date night type of place. If you are looking for ambiance or sake, this is not your place. It's simply sushi with a limited menu- but don't let that scare you away! I promise it will become your new favorite take out and lunch spot!

  1. Or, try Sushi Nozawa. Some amazing sushi, no frills. Try the "Trust Me"! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. But, DO NOT HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE OUT OR ON WHEN YOU GO TO THIS PLACE... YOU WILL GET THROWN OUT!!!

  2. Kushi-Yu in Tarzana should at least get an honorable mention, no?

  3. Omino on Devonshire in Chatsworth is the best. Got to look outside the overhyped, overpriced Sushi row to find the good stuff in the valley.
