anta Monica Sushi Legend: 40-Year Artisanal Japanese Restaurant š£āØ
Recently stumbled upon this incredible sushi spot while exploring Santa Monica with friends. Not only is the seafood ultra-fresh, but the prices are surprisingly reasonable! A restaurant that's thrived for 40 years in LA's competitive sushi scene is no accident - HIGHLY recommend! šš„ Uni Scramble Toast MUST ORDER! šØ Layers of: ⢠Fresh uni + fish roe on top ⢠Creamy scrambled eggs ⢠Crispy toasted bread The sea urchin's sweetness bursts in your mouth, perfectly balanced with the rich eggs. Texture heaven! šš Black Truffle Salmon Buttery-soft salmon that melts on your tongue šš« Enhanced with earthy black truffle aroma - luxurious yet not heavy. Each bite is pure silk! Hotate Criolla Japanese-Peruvian fusion magic! ššµšŖ Plump scallops meet zesty criolla sauce (slightly tangy/spicy), topped with minced toro and roe for extra umami layers. Sushi & Oyster EAT IMMEDIATELY for peak freshness! ā³ We devoured uni, bluefin tuna, and jumbo scallop sushi - each piece was sweet, tender perfection. š£š Kobachi 9-compartment appetizer tray with refreshing bites: ⢠Spinach egg ⢠Apple-potato mash ⢠Our faves: sweet potato š , mushrooms š, eggplant, burdock root Why We Love It: ⢠40 years of consistency šš ⢠Creative fusion dishes šāØ ā¢ Santa Monica hidden gem š š° Price Range: $$ (Great value for quality) #100RestaurantsChallenge #LALife #LAEats #SantaMonicaFood #SushiLovers #JapaneseCuisine
