Hama Sushi

Sushi Gen usually gets all the Little Tokyo love, but we’re firm believers that time can play a factor in quality, and Sushi Gen takes an eternity thanks to that unrelenting line outside, which often forms before it’s even open. By comparison, you can usually grab a seat at Hama a lot quicker, and the traditional sushi and baked yellowtail collar are second to none. Just make sure you ask what’s off-menu because Hama’s most interesting seafood, such as halibut fin, red sea bream, or salmon belly, isn’t printed on the menu.
