in:Where to find actually GOOD sushi in NYC not omakase like LA sushi21 pts
replying to u/before8thstreet: The proximity to pacific, Japanese immigrant (food) culture, and relatively low rents/labor costs in LA means its casual sushi will always be a better value than NYC. We don't have a very strong "sushi-ya" culture, which is what you are looking for. That being said, you would like Sushi on Jones, Tomoe21, Tanoshii Sushi, and Osakana.
