    I’ve been in the industry for 15 years managing, cooking, bartending, seeving. This is my definition of a true chef. There is a lot going on in that kitchen for a casual place and they’re doing volume. Well done.

    Discovered this placed about a year ago by accident while on my way to a Lakers game. Was looking for a “somewhat” fast serving food place for a quick bite, to my surprise this place was plagued with multiple Michelline star awards and the prices were reasonable. This has become my wife’s and my best Mexican seafood spot!!! 😊 🌟 ❤

    I remember going in 2019 after the worth it video dropped (they won) and I was in the area so i decided to give it a try. Haven’t stopped going and never miss a birthday there. Without a doubt the best seafood you’ll ever find in Los Angeles.

      You probably have but didn't realize it! Lots of sushi is dry aged. Most, if not all the fish in any edomae omakase will be dry aged. And in LA specifically, many popular places dry age fish - Yang's Kitchen and Providence off the top of my head. The Joint in Sherman Oaks is actually a dry aged fish market.
