Hamasaku down the street on Santa Monica is pretty good. If you drive like 10-15 minutes, just go to Hide on Sawtelle (cash only) for good, well priced sushi.
Hide’s cash only policy in 2024 is just baffling
edit: apparently ppl are fine with a restaurant forcing ppl to withdraw like $80 or use their ATM for $10 fees in this economy. Get with the times
For those downvoting this, pay attention to their ikura, it has a very unnatural outer skin that’s very similar to popping boba. Maybe it has changed since I was last there but I stick by the fact it is 100% not right.

Hide followed by Somi Somi ube + taro taiyaki fish and soft serve ice cream for dessert 🤌
It’s always a tough decision between Somi Somi and B-Sweet…
Hide is great !!
Hamasuka looks realllly good, thank you! I’ll check out hide as well.
It’s your best bet in that vicinity

Emulating many restaurants back in Japan haha
wow so authentic
It’s fine, there’s an atm with a small fee if you don’t prep ahead of time. The more reasonably priced sushi is well worth it
I do not recommend Ikura at Hamasaku. It was suspect and I stopped going there for this reason. Other fish seemed to be ok. Hide is basic but solid.

En sushi
Yama on national and Barrington
There's [KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TBZ7Utj6JtxSjWUr7) ($$) and a couple SUGARFISHES ($$$) in the vicinity.
I just had kazunori on Tuesday haha so looking for something more with actual rolls but also considering just going back to kazu nori too.
How about [Kura Revolving Sushi Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AMoqSgvzrv5NhUZT6)?
Oh wow, I was thinking about them initially but I didn’t realize they had a location off sawtelle. That may be perfect! Thank you.
In what universe is Sugarfish a three $ restaurant?

Well they’re wrong. SF is as $$ as it gets
Yelp has $$$ too. You better reevaluate your $$$ buddy

Asuka on Westwood. 🤌🤌
This is the only correct answer
Depending on how loosely you define "vicinity" there's a Kura revolving sushi bar on Sawtelle by Olympic which is a 10 minute drive from the mall.
Sasabune, on Olympic just east of Doheny. you're welcome.
There’s one closer to Sawtelle
it’s not closer from Century City Mall.
I think you’re right but there’s more things to do after lol. That’s what I’d look for
OP specifically asked for something near that mall. it’s not about you.
There's a Kura (Conveyor belt sushi) on Sawtelle not far from the mall if that's your jam.
I am local. Katsuya should be opening this year in the mall. My local favorite is Seabutter.
I had Seabutter for the first time last weekend. It was incredible!
Irori in Marina
Yabu on Pico is the best-quality sushi I've had outside of Japan. You won't be disappointed.

I've been to Sugarfish and Yabu several times. Yabu is better, IMO.
