Sushi Karen!

Palms and kuaptic are excited to introduce a new friend -- sushi karen! to the neighborhood. Tucked right across the street from the Best Buy on Washington, Sushi Karen is unassuming, but once inside, one notices that they've taken steps to jazz up the joint. Still, it retains the feeling of the best kind of stripped down, bad music playing, mini-mall sushi bar. The nigeri is excellent -- large pieces of well cut, fresh fish on rice. It has an auxilary menu including various types of teriaki (for the five people left in LA who don't eat sushi) and stellar short ribs. it has all the usual appetizers -- edamame, gyoza, green salads and miso soup, but the real show stopper is the sashimi, which is plentiful and well sauced, and of all this, the tuna carpaccio is the star. A huge dish, festooned with translucent tuna, dabbed with olive oil, a bit of soy sauce and rice vinegar. Heaven! Within walking distance! (Photo from The Delicious Life)
