Susuru Ramen Bar is a real neighborhood spot for ramen, and worth the walk and the drive! The Chicken Karaage is the perfect blend of moist and crispiness, and didn't feel heavy or oily. Some places serve chicken karaage over-breaded or drenched in oil, but not Susuru! The Mayu Ramen is really where it's at though. This pork-broth base ramen with black garlic oil surprisingly uses egg noodles, so it's a richer, different taste that certainly stands out. At the same time, no singular taste overwhelms the rest of the dish, and everything from the seasoned soft boiled egg to the perfectly charred chiashu work together in one harmonious feast. This is one ramen bowl that is literally good to the last drop!

My wife and I have very different palates. I usually prefer burgers or Mexican food, but she loves…read moreAsian cuisine. This time, she was craving sushi. The staff were attentive, even though we only ordered one dish. The sushi chef prepared our spicy tuna roll quickly, and it tasted pretty good. My wife liked it so much, she even asked me to try a piece. I was only able to eat one, as I was already too full. We would be happy to return if we're ever in the area again.

If you've been following me here on Yelp, (wink wink) what are you doing standing there not sending…read moreme a friend request by now? You already know how much I love reviewing new places or adding to reviews of spots I may have forgotten I've been to. Just like that one-time date whose name, face, and entire existence you mentally deleted. Oops. I love these unassuming places that end up being total gems. This restaurant is tucked behind a gazillion other amazing spots on Hillhurst Ave. in Los Angeles. The street is quaint, charming, and gives off "meet-cute in a rom-com" energy vibe. Let's dive in: PARKING Ladies, be prepared to walk, unless you get lucky and snag a spot right in front. I thought there was private parking, and I think there is... somewhere. But I didn't see it, and street parking on Hillhurst is like trying to find a guy who doesn't say "I'm not ready for a relationship" after three amazing dates. Red flag: Parking is elusive and mysterious. Like a man with no social media presence. Green flag: We found a spot, so the universe was clearly rooting for us. SERVICE The first thing I noticed? Service was sloooow. There was only one chef and one server, and the place was packed, on a Sunday afternoon, no less. I felt sorry for the server who had to juggle all his customers by himself. The sushi chef was friendly and greeted us when we walked in. I liked that. Red flag: Understaffed and overwhelmed. Like a guy who's emotionally unavailable but still insists on dating. Green flag: The staff was doing their best, and I respect the hustle. But whoever owns this place needs to hire reinforcements ASAP. Sushi deserves better. FOOD We ordered the Microtech sashimi with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, crab meat, and soy paper. It was unbelievably delicious, I fell in love instantly. If I wasn't trying to lose weight, I'd have ordered three more plates just for me. We also got another sashimi plate, and it was solid. Green flag: Flavor that makes you forget your calorie count and your ex. Red flag: None here...this dish was a total catch. AMBIENCE Very casual vibes. Lots of kids, big tables, and even a dog in the back room. It's giving "family-friendly" with a side of chaos. Now, one of my little pet peeves: flies. I don't like places that ignore the presence of annoying flies. If I were the manager, I'd be checking those windows and setting boundaries. Why? Because flies and raw fish are a toxic combo. Red flag: Flies buzzing around sushi? That's a hard no. Like showing up to a date and realizing they brought their emotional baggage and their actual ex. Green flag: The casual vibe is great for low-pressure hangs. Just maybe not your first date unless you're both chill and fly-tolerant. WOULD I TAKE A DATE HERE? Absolutely. I'd give it another chance. The food was yummy, and the laid-back atmosphere makes it perfect for a second or third date...when you're past the "impress me" phase and into the "let's just vibe" stage.

Oh em gee. This place is beyond amazing. I would eat here every night if I could…read more I eat everything and my partner is vegan and we both had an amazing time. I had a chutoro tostada, salmon yuzu nigiri, a soft shell crab hand roll, hamachi, toro, and we shared the broccoli appetizer. The sushi man who took care of us was incredible and so talented too!!! Do not miss this spot!

Santo Silverlake is the 2nd outpost of acclaimed original Santo Mexico City, which is truly a…read moreunique, visionary dining concept. This Japanese Mexican fusion restaurant on Sunset is simultaneously cozy, sexy, and sophisticated. The seating is intimate and as such, perfect for date night or catching up with a friend or two. In addition to indoor sushi bar seating, there is also a bit of outdoor seating, which makes for a good people watching experience. On to the food. What we ordered for the table: 1. Hamachi choco nigiri - their signature nigiri which consists of seared yellowtail topped with Oaxacan chocolate and salt. A very memorable and unique offering, and I recommend everybody to try this at least once while at Santo. 2. Uni nigiri - fantastic uni which was both buttery and sweet. 3. ikura nigiri - I'm just a sucker for ikura and will order it at every opportunity. Fantastic ikura quality. 4. Unagi nigiri - I love my eel. 5. Soft shell crab - perfect. 6. Salmon nigiri - a classic. 7. Otoro bowl - love fresh fatty tuna. Delicious little bowl. 8. Spicy tuna roll - my +1 isn't as fond of nigiri and sashimi as I am, so we indulged in a few rolls as well. All of them were excellent. 9. Daruma roll 10. San shake roll 11. Matcha brûlée - not quite what we expected, as under the perfectly seared brulee, there was a rice pudding filling. This is a solidly executed desert in its own right, but perhaps not my favorite. 12. A Junmai sake for the table. We were fortunate enough to find metered street parking immediately outside, but there should be free residential parking a couple blocks' walk from the restaurant as well. Service was courteous and prompt.
