David Surman: Try the chefs choice, he's go great taste! Excellent food, well presented. Nice atmosphere
Eater: With a new sushi chef Yoya Takahashi at the helm of the omakase counter, the level of sushi gets a major upgrade from the more roll-centric offerings on the menu (that are popular with celebrities).
DailyCandy: On the updated menu, its rolls now share the spotlight with dishes like salmon crudo and washugyu tataki (with thyme and wasabi). Miss the full roll-odex? Ask a server for the original 60-deep menu.

Matt Siditsky: Closest thing to New York pizza in L.A. Great tasting ingredients and large slices that fold in half nicely
Ross: Larry David gets in trouble here for stealing extra napkins. Curb Your Enthusiasm, season 7 episode 6 - The Bare Midriff
Peter Kallman: Most authentic East Coast pizza on the westside. Biggest slices in Westwood too. Owner is the son of the actor who played Luca Brasi in The Godfather... Thus the decor. Enzo, the baker, anyone?
