Shunji@West LA ★★★

Omakase Sushi with Shunji-san at the Sushi Bar. This time instead of the Shunji Omakase ($130-$160), I ordered the Sushi Special for $50 and added a few more sushi requests. It's much more economical this way. The sushi bar experience was more authentic than the table seating. Also got the gut to try Shirako, which is sperm sacs from Cod Fish...
Compare with Shunji from 2013 (3 years ago):

Tsujita Annex@Sawtelle ★★

Ramen Alternative to the original Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle across the Street. Heard original restaurant is better. Noodles were too thick for me, but the soup base was good. You get thirsty after having the ramen. I prefer the rice bowls under $4. About an hour wait for 4 people for lunch in the weekend. Cash only.
