Being my hood, I’ve gotta throw in my two cents. I have sushi at least once a week. Of the sushi places on Brand Blvd. I have to recommend Ichiban. It’s my favorite of all the places. Sushi on Brand has been okay, but I personally Ichiban. It’s over by the movie theater by the spitting frog fountain. Its pretty cheap, and the service is great. Especially at the bar.
Ask for Jessie or Tony.

There’s street parking if you’re willing to walk 1-2 short blocks behind Brand blvd. (in other words, east of Brand).

You don’t need to feed the parking meters behind the building if you’re there after 6 p.m.

This place is not that expensive, though it’s not cheap. We ate there Tuesday and the bill came to a total of $50 for: 1 miso soup, 1 wakame salad, 1 seared tuna with japanese salsa, 1 ca roll,1 spicy tuna roll, 1 salmon skin roll, 1 large beer.

The seared albacore was great, but the portion really isn’t THAT much. I think it looks larger because of the crispy onions.

Glad there’s a menu on the site! :)

There are some Americanized sushi here, but they also have traditional, standard sushi and sashimi without any fanfare. I just chose not to order them because I knew which ones are more unique to the sushi chef I was ordering from. So, before you write this restaurant off as “BLAH,” give it a chance first. If you’ve tried it and hate it, then I’ll respect that opinion a lot more.

That seared albacore looks amazing! I have had seared albacore with crispy onions at Katsuya, which is fantastic, but no spicy sauce. Also, the portion you show is much larger. This looks like a great place.
