I like U-Zen for the $80-120 range (which, ah, may now be “on a budget”).
K-Zo does a surprisingly good deluxe chirashi ($45), in my opinion competitive with similar offerings from Sushi Tsujita (i.e. the premium Kaisendon or Bara Chirashi).
Sushi Tsujita, obviously, does good chirashi ($35-50).
I’m still hoping to find some other options where I can eat “actual sushi” (i.e. at least a mostly-nigiri meal) in the “up to $100” range without leaving hungry and/or feeling like I’d rather have gone to Sugarfish (which I haven’t done in a while).
