Sudachi (West LA)

Anyone been or know anything about it? Was invited by a friend and am going in a couple weeks. Hardly nothing about it on forums, just some reviews on Google/Yelp (all of which seem positive, but not sure how reliable they are). Curious if anyone here has been.

No idea lol! But I’m curious too

It’s a favorite of Chef Brooke Williamson and family.

Well regarded in that area.

I had a great dinner at the counter there. So nice to have a upper-middle to lower-upper class non-omakase sushi option nearby.

Price ?

hard to say because we had a lot to drink but is not as inexpensive as hide or uzumaki and not as expensive as the the omakases

I’ve been on the fence about Sudachi, I love the prices on the 3 set menus but honestly it seems like not a lot of food compared to what I would get for the same price at Moto Azabu, on the other hand I haven’t been so maybe I’m miss judging.

Maybe the move at Sudachi is to just order off the menu and get a mix of dishes. Thoughts?

It has been a very long time since I have been to Moto Azabu, but always found the quality fairly good and the QPR very good. Not quite at the level of Sudachi, IMHO, but similar. At Sudachi, I was siting next to ABC News anchor David Ono - :rofl:

Everyone was very nice and welcoming. A+ for hospitality. I didn’t really like the sushi or the $35 add on “Hassun.” They do have udon and yakatori don for lunch. Maybe better?

You now have my attention…

I got the yakitori don along with the salmon sampler at lunch yesterday. Chicken thighs were good, meatballs a little dry, veggies (asparagus and shishito peppers) nicely flavorful. The rice was covered by a layer of soboro, which was also on the dry side. I would have loved more thigh vs the ground chicken layer. It’s a good-sized dish! No problem getting full.

Uphill alert: Fantastic dinner last evening at Sudachi with Haya-san… The seasonal matsutake miso cod donabe gohan is an insanely delicious value on their a la carte menu. Huge bite!!!

That looks like a LOT of matsutake.

Sensational aroma. A la carte price: $28 for the matsutake donabe, and $6 for the miso cod supplement… Six plus bowls of rice.
