Alex Valner: Best omakase I have had in LA so far. Pricey, but worth the treat compared to others. Tomato tofu, squid ink truffled egg, and toro platter are three of the top sushi dishes I have ever had.
DailyCandy: Chef Shunji spends as much time on tomatoes (his agedashi tomato tofu), as he does on octopus and Dungeness crab. Be just as mindful when working your way through all seven varieties of snapper.
Vic Zaud: Everything is amazing, but definitely try the Tomato Tofu. It's incredibly good and very unique. Omakase or Sushi Special is a great deal for the money. Vegetable and cooked dishes are very good.

Lee Simpson: Amazingly good all you can eat sushi deal. Some of the baked rolls are a touch intense for my liking - stick to the hand rolls.
