AMAZING
1st KAMPACHI SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Premium yellowtail. Buttery, melt-in-your mouth, this piece of kampachi is better than some sub-par toro. Incredible!
2nd AJI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Excellent pieces of Spanish mackerel. A must have for me since I can’t get it around where I live. :|
3rd UNI SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Ahhhhh I haven’t had sweet uni of this quality since….too long ago. It was sweet and firm like it should be. Glazed with mild soya sauce. Delectable!
4th SUSHI PLATTER
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Chef’s choice consisting of 10 pieces of sushi and 1 cut roll which’s spicy tuna. All excellent.
REALLY GOOD
5th TORO (FATTY TUNA)
Yonaka Modern Japanese, Las Vegas
Bluefin tuna belly is wrapped in nori, battered in glutinous rice batter, then flash fried. Served with marinated vegetables, and edible flower. The edible flower was missing from some of our dishes so they took it away and came back decorated with it. LOL Such a stunning dish! Fatty melt in your mouth tuna turned chewy due to the glutinous batter was genius! I think I heard Sam say he preferred it raw, but I actually welcomed this chewy version of the dish! First time I had such and it was very interesting in a good way!! The picked vegetables and slightly bitter flowers cut the richness perfectly! (8 more dishes to be spotted from this place next time…too much at once isn't good for your health) :D To be continued...
6th UNAGI NIGIRI
Harumi Sushi, Phoenix
Plenty of broiled eel topped with sauce and crispy tempura crumbs. Delicious!
7th SAKE SUSHI
Harumi Sushi, Phoenix
Fresh salmon topped with a pinch of real wasabi. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
9th HAMACHI HANDROLL
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Not the hefty portion I’m used to getting at some of the sushi places, but high quality hamachi wrapped in impeccably crisp nori. Topped with scallions. Excellent.
10th IKURA SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Salmon roe. Yummy poppers. :)
11th AJI SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
So good!! Unfortunately they were sold out of Shima Aji by the time I went, but this piece of Spanish Mackerel was superb! Sweet and succulent!
12th O-TORO SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
Very good. Melted in my mouth. :)
13th HALIBUT SUSHI
Sushi Sushi, Beverly Hills
So fresh! I also ate Mirugai (giant clam) which was sooooo good...firm, sweet, and chewy as well as Zuke (marinated blue fin tuna) which is hard to find at most sushi joints as they have to know what they’re doing. Unfortunately, I must have forgotten to take those two pictures since I was so happy to be eating such fresh yummy sushi!!
14th SALMON SKIN HANDROLL

Excellent crisp salmon skin wrapped with lots of julienned yummy vegetables.

19th SPICY TUNA ON CRISPY RICE
