Erick Barbor: My favorite sushi in LA. Spicy tuna crispy rice, rock shrimp tempura, albacore crispy onions, baked crab hand roll and yellowtail sashimi w/ jalapeno. You can't go wrong!
Fling Girl: our favorite Japanese spot, albacore with black truffle is decadent but way worth it
Navin: Do the crispy rice with spicy tuna, the albacore with fried onions, and the baked crab rolls. Then go across the street and have banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery for dessert!
