I'm a sushi snob from NYC and I'm shocked to report that the best sushi I've found in LA to date is in a run-down strip mall on the second floor.
Folks in LA I talk to are not shocked--the best food in LA is found in run down strip malls from what I've been told!
This is sushi only... no soup, no salad, no tempura.
It's Tokyo style which means the rice is warm and filled with flavor.
You get once piece at a time... even at a table. That's the way sushi should be served--so the temperature is correct. Anyone who orders a sushi deluxe is an idiot because the 15 pieces site for 10 minutes while it's being made and when it comes to your table with three others sushi deluxe plates you might as well have bought your meal at the Whole Foods sushi counter.
Amazing, amazing sushi...

I have convertable and I do a $50 hand wash an wax which is great... however, I always notice that the miss some spots, so at the end I do a little inspection and point our four or five spots they missed. Now they know me (and my yellow car) so they do a much better job.

Babalu is one of my favorite places on the west side... the burger with tempura onion rings is off the hook. The desserts are amazing as well... like any other place on Montana things can get a little crowded, but the service here is great and i've been there at least 10x since they re-opened. prices are just fine too.
also, you can order off the menu and they will accommodate.
great people watching as well. very friendly staff.

If you're a New York transplant like me you get strange cravings at all hours of the night for potato pancakes, black and white cookies, matzo ball soup, and pastrami sandwiches stack high on rye bread.
Living in Santa Monica you're faced with fancy food and a city that shuts down around 9:30.
However, as you drive around the city that oves to sleep you'll find a beacon of hope... a shimmering star in the distance in Izzy's deli.
A kid from Brooklyn couldn't find a deli in LA so he built one. Everything in this place is great including the service and the prices. You can't go wrong.
