Fresh In The Box, is my personal favorite quick service sushi spot. There's no place in LA that offers traditional Japanese cuisine with healthy alternatives such as the brown rice sushi, organic green salads, vegetarian options, all natural free-range chicken, beef, pork, and seafood all at a very reasonable price. The environment is not your traditional Japanese sushi restaurant because there's no sushi bar with a sushi master to serve you. Although it does get more food credit and respect in comparison to the Anglo food trap franchise chain known as Sushi Boy (not to insult to Chef Michiyo because she has done a fabulous job in providing delicious fresh and somewhat organic options in her cuisines). You go in this place with the intention of receiving great service and plus you are craving a quick healthy tasty fresh Asian (not implying on a happy ending - but it is possible). My personal choice is the Healthy-Mate Box, No Carb House Special Roll - cucumber, salmon, crab, and avocado, and side of seaweed salad. I recommend trying any of the sushi with the brown rice: shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, spider rolls, etc. I promise you will get hooked. That's how I got hooked, and have been a loyal patron since2007.
