I have been to Ari-ya a few times and each time
the food was fresh and inventive. The sushi chef
is well known. I always have the black honey cod
and the lobster tempura roll. We also love the
warm eel roll. Everyone I have taken loves it
for service, W. Hollywood location, and ambiance. Most patrons love his sushi and sit
at the counter.
as well as the fresh food.

Oh yeah, Reel is is awesome for down and dirty, no frills seafood. Enterprise Fish Company in Santa Monica (off of Main St.) is a good, competant place of which I will be posting a review soon. Good alternative to the pricier seafood places

Jason-
Ocean Ave Seafood in Santa Monica and Water Grill Downtown (both part of King’s Seafood Company) are good bets. Neither are as reasonable as Reel Inn though.

Where can i go to find the best Seafood in the LA area? I’ve been to the Reel Inn but I need some more reccomendations! P.S. Guelaguetza is stellar! Monte Alban is just as good if not better…

Thanks for the tip on the new place U-E! Everyone needs to find a solid, not outrageous sushi place.

After reading about the new and ONLY sushi restaurant in Eagle Rock I knew I wanted to try it. That was about two months or so ago. This latest gems is called Mia Sushi and it’s on Eagle Rock Blvd. Now that we’re thinking about relocating from Silver Lake to Eagle Rock, we ended up having dinner at Mia with friends who live in the neighborhood. We had a nice dinner, ate from a fun menu, and met the owner who is an energetic, charming, real estate agent who was full of positive energy and had a great sense of humor. The sushi is good, nothing extraordinary, but if the sake (salmon) and hamachi (yellowtail) taste fresh to me, then the establishment is a winner in my book! The salmon and yellowtail were very very fresh. Mia is charming and literally stands out as it’s situated on a stretch of Eagle Rock Blvd that is dotted with cafes but mostly surrounded by small offices, auto body shops, apartments and single family homes. Check it out! *Reservations highly recommended. Our wait time was 20-40 minutes, and I think we were seated in about 30 mintues.

My friends and I went to the Inn of the seventh ray last weekend and I can not say that I would go again. It is a place with a very nice setting, and idealy, it would be a great place to have sunday brunch. But we found that our service was not great, especailly after the waitress knew that we were not going to have the brunch buffet. I ordered the crab quiche which was ok. It was surely something that was possilbly made the day before and was just reheated. But along with the quiche there was a very small small scattering of curry potatos that were very good, but i felt like I was eatting the leftovers to someone’s potato’s from last night. The cappucino was very good,but also very small. For such small portions, we all felt like we were being punished for not getting the $30.00 buffet. So the point of my comment is to get the buffet if you plan to go to the Inn of the Seventh Ray. This way you will be able to serve yourself, and the wait staff will not turn their nose at you.

If anyone is still looking for Sunday brunch recommendations, you can’t beat Madame Matisse in Silverlake, corner of Sunset and Maltman. They have great coffee and I really like their take on huevos rancheros. You gotta go early though to beat the late-sleeping hipsters–it’s a small place.
