Asahi Sushi@Corona ★★★

$17.95 All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Lunch. Includes 1 piece of Uni Sushi. Super cheap price without compromising the quality. Impressed. Fresh Water Eel was fatty and tasted great. Request Quail Egg for the Smelt Egg Sushi. All these are included. Rolls were great. Some of them are really spicy. Rice portion in sushi was little, which was great. Can only place order 3 times max and 1 hour time limit though. Free parking.

Chaya Downtown@Downtown LA ★★★

New Special Menu: Chaya Downtown Summer on the Grill. New BBQ & Kushiyaki Menu. Really like the Grilled Drunken Squid. It tasted really sweet, and the squid was not too chewy. Hanger Steak was nice. See the sizzling in action at the outdoor grill in the patio. Beer w/ Frozen Foam was a bomb. Large Sake Sangria was quite a deal. Free valet parking in the underground parking lot w/ validation.

Enterprise Seafood Co@Santa Monica ★★★

Great Seafood. Love their Ahi Poke. Scallops in the Scallop Risotto tasted like it's missing some salt, but if you eat it with the risotto at the same time, then it would taste great. Mussels were fatty and great. Lobster Bisque was yum yum. Went with a $15 for $30 Groupon.

Scallop Risotto $23.95
prime pan-seared sea scallops served over a creamy seasonal vegetable risotto

Traditional Hawaiian Ahi Poke $9.95
