WAY OVERATED!!!!

I initally read about this place on this website and it seemed like a good place to try. My wife and I love trying new sushi spots so we ventured over the hill from Studio City to try it out. When we got our first piece of single piece of sushi we almost laughed at the size of the cut, dont get me wrong the quality of the fish was top-notch but the cut was a joke. For the amount of money you spend on 2 pieces of sushi you can go to many sushi spots all over LA and get the same quality but a normal cut. Then we got out so called "large" sake to our table and it was undersized. I understand the ambience they are trying to create at Echigo but the place just does not fit with barren ugly walls and no atmosphere. By the end of our dinner we hade spent over $100 on sushi and were still hungry!! That has never happened to me in 15 years of eating sushi!! THe one positive was the service and the $34 cold sake we got which was amazing!! I do not recommed this place to anyone unless you are prepared to overspend on small cuts but quality fish. Instead try Brothers Sushi in Woodland Hills- same quality but decent sized cuts.
Pros: Quality fish
Cons: Size of cuts is a joke
