anta Monica Sushi Legend: 40-Year Artisanal Japanese Restaurant 🍣✨

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! 🙌🔥 Uni Scramble Toast MUST ORDER! 🚨 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! 🌊🍞 Black Truffle Salmon Buttery-soft salmon that melts on your tongue 🐟💫 Enhanced with earthy black truffle aroma - luxurious yet not heavy. Each bite is pure silk! Hotate Criolla Japanese-Peruvian fusion magic! 🎌🇵🇪 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! ⏳ We devoured uni, bluefin tuna, and jumbo scallop sushi - each piece was sweet, tender perfection. 🍣👑 Kobachi 9-compartment appetizer tray with refreshing bites: • Spinach egg • Apple-potato mash • Our faves: sweet potato 🍠, mushrooms 🍄, eggplant, burdock root Why We Love It: • 40 years of consistency 🎂🎉 • Creative fusion dishes 🌏✨ • Santa Monica hidden gem 💎 💰 Price Range: $$ (Great value for quality) #100RestaurantsChallenge #LALife #LAEats #SantaMonicaFood #SushiLovers #JapaneseCuisine
