A Tale of Two Sushi Bars
Being sushi fans, we at kuaptic have many opportunities to sample our favorite cuisine in Los Angeles. In the past week, we have been to two new sushi places, and have marvelled at their differences.Tengu 10853 Lindbrook Dr, Los Angeles, CA
This is one of those super trendy places where they have a dj playing too-loud three year old techno to a crowd of people who are too good looking for themselves. Presumably, they aren't eating there either, as then they would discover that, while the sushi is decent (though not exceptional) the special dishes are severely lacking, most notably the filet wrapped asparagus, which is sausage-like, and not tastey. Tengu is obviously all slick deisign -- a carefully set trap to seperate the fashionable and foolish from their money.
Azami Sushi Cafe 7160 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Azami Cafe is a gem. Located on Melrose it's not pretentious, nor pretentiously priced. The sushi is great, well cut and served on rice that is still warm, served up by female sushi chefs, something of a novelty in the industry. The seared tuna wrapped asparagus was delicious and we understand they have great tempura too.
