SUSHI CALIFORNIA
Fresh Phish!

My buddy Tom and I just had dinner here last night, I just love it here! We hung out at the sushi bar chatting with Sushi Chef John Baik (former sushi chef of Sushi-o-Sushi on El Camino).
He opened Sushi California (over a year ago) and his loyal fans followed!

The Fish is impeccably fresh here!
His MAKI selection is very impressive. Try the Rainbow roll and the Flying Dragon roll, they're both excellent!

NIGIRI rules at Sushi California.
The Toro (fatty tuna) is the very best I've tasted in the area! It's beautifully marbled and melts in your mouth.
The Hamachi (yellow tail) and Maguro (tuna) are both excellent!

Chef' Baik's fish is flown in from all over the world and delivered directly to his restaurant.
The crowd is a mix of sushi lovers and wine geeks. Last week we enjoyed his sushi with a bottle of CAVA (from Tom's collection).
Two tables away from us were some employees from The Wine Club enjoying some Kiwi wines (Cloudy Bay) and a few bottles of domestic Sauv Blancs with their nigiri.
When you bring your wine, give Chef Baik a taste. He loves wine pairing!
