In the heart of the very snooty Sunset Strip is a small friendly place that serves great sushi. Chef Nobu and his wife Mama-san are gracious and charming hosts. Be prepared: the room is small, seating is tight and the place is usually pretty busy. Ordering sushi off the menu is good, but for a great experience, sit at the bar and ask Nobu to give you whatever he thinks you need. You'll get all the stuff you wouldn't normally order and everything is VERY unique and speacial. The ""off the menu"" experience isn't cheap (last time I went I paid $120 for 2), but you would pay a lot more for the same experience at Matsuhisu and it is really worth it. You can pay the same for a boat of ordinary sushi somewhere else. Parking is tight, they have a free lot behind (enter on San Vicente Blvd).
Pros: Unique, Yummy, Friendly
Cons: , Parking
