Los Angeles, CA
Best Sushi in Los Angeles.
Harry's top 10 sushi spots in Los Angeles score 85–96 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing.
Los Angeles invented the California roll and then spent decades living it down. Sawtelle — still called Little Osaka by anyone over forty — is where the city's real sushi lives: dense, unglamorous blocks of counters with no view and no line out front. LA also gave America the strict omakase format, no substitutions, no rolls, eat what's put down. That posture gets imitated badly. Harry doesn't care about the ritual. He cares if the rice is seasoned and the fish came in today, not whether the chef made you feel something.
