Toranoko

Apparently the same owner as the next door Lazy Ox, Toranoko is located across the street from the highly challenged Japanese Community and Cultural Center, 243 S. San Pedro LA CA 90012. I ordered the sushi combo which was decent but not spectacular, not super fresh, but the rice was exceptional. The interior is hip 2008, kinda post Jeff Koons. I was disappointed by the jelly fish salad. It was not fresh, like it had been sitting around for a day or so. I loved the Lazy Ox, so it is surprising that I would have this kind of experience there, especially since it's in Little Tokyo. It's over priced fluff Japanese food. Too bad. Attention to detail? no attention here. "BATSU!!!"
