Preferably within 30 minutes of k-town. Under $50 pp if possible. Convenient parking is also a fairly big plus.
Basically I want to be able to stuff my face with average (or slightly better) quality fish without resorting to a chirashi bowl; they typically have only a few ounces of fish and most of the calories come from the rice. If there’s a chirashi bowl that bucks this trend I’m ok with that too.
LA Hwaluh. Korean-style sashimi in K-town.
Thanks - looking primarily for japanese options, but I’ll definitely take a look. I do like halibut.
High QPR is hard to find in this sector. Expect to pay up for decent knifework and decent fish.
I’m aware - and I’m prepared to sacrifice my other preferences. i.e. what’s the best regardless of location, best regardless of price, etc? Obviously nothing is perfect. Just want to know what I should have on my list when I get the urge.
High quality chirashi bowls with top end fish at Tsujita and Kasen in OC. Neither of them meet your distance requirements obviously.
Maybe Sushi Gen?
Sushi Ichi in Pasadena.
Take a look at @J_L’s fantastic review of the place, and if you run a sieve through some of the discussion about booze and what-not, you should be able to get a sense whether the price point of Ichi fits your definition of QPR.
