Muzen Sushi@Westlake Village ★★★

New Favorite Sushi Restaurant. Hidden Gem. Great Price. Came here again this week mainly because of the name Muzen's similarity with Kibutsuji Muzan from Demon Slayer and its good quality. Good service. Sushi Chef Zack-san is from the beautiful Nagoya. Regular menu uses fresh sashimi. Omakase ranges from $30 to $120. Sashimi from lunch menu wasn't as frozen last week. $18 is a great price. We ordered 1 lunch menu and 1 regular menu to offset the price. Hot tea $3. They automatically add 4% to their items for credit card ($3 hot tea became $3.12). When you pay, you will get a bill with the 4% bill. Just pay it cash and remind them, and they will give you back the change with the 4% taken off. Free parking in lot.
