Kazunori

It’s all in the name of this Sugarfish offshoot—Kazunori is the original hand roll bar, at least here in Los Angeles. Though I’ve tried the other high-profile temaki options in the city (including Sogo and Uoichiba), very few places can outrank this fast-casual sushi bar concept in terms of portion size, consistency and widespread availability. With outposts in Westwood, Santa Monica, Downtown, Koreatown, Marina del Rey and Mid-Wilshire, much of the city is within a short drive of a Kazunori location—and whether you end your meal with lobster or blue crab, these speedily made hand rolls hit the spot whenever you’re in need of a quick sushi fix. Just beware: This spot is no-reservations and fills up fast, though solo diners will usually be able to quickly squeeze in.
