Santa Monica Sushi Legend

Recently wandering around Santa Monica with friends, we stumbled upon a Japanese restaurant with amazing quality and value! Not only are the ingredients incredibly fresh, but the prices are also surprisingly friendly. A restaurant that's thrived in LA's competitive sushi scene for 40 years is no accident—highly recommend! 🏆🎌 🍞 Uni Scramble Toast Highly recommended! Layers of fresh uni and ikura on top, creamy scrambled eggs in the middle, all resting on crispy toasted bread. The uni’s sweet, oceanic flavor melts into the rich, buttery eggs—each bite is delicate, savory, and beautifully layered! 🌊🥚 🐟 Black Truffle Salmon The salmon is tender, buttery, and melts in your mouth—naturally sweet with rich, smooth fat. Infused with the deep, earthy aroma of black truffle, it adds luxurious depth without being heavy. Pure indulgence! 🖤🍣 🌶️ Hotate Criolla A beautiful Japanese-Latin fusion dish! Sweet, juicy scallops meet the tangy-spicy kick of Criolla sauce. Topped with minced toro and ikura for extra texture—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor! 🍋🔥 🦪 Sushi and Oyster The ingredients are incredibly fresh—enjoy them immediately for the best experience! We tried Uni, Bluefin Tuna, and Jumbo Scallop sushi—each piece was sweet, silky, and utterly satisfying for any sushi lover. 🍣💖 🍱 Kobachi A 9-piece assortment of Japanese appetizers—crisp, refreshing, and full of authentic flavor. Alongside classic dishes like spinach egg and apple potato mash, I especially loved their sweet potato, mushroom, eggplant, and burdock root sides! 🥢🌸 📍 Noma Sushi 2031 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403 #100RestaurantChallenge #CaptureTheMoment #LALife #LAEats #LAFoodFinds #LADining
