![]() ![]() It was also a very large portion of chicken and rice and the older boy supplemented his sushi selections with some of it as well.Īt the fishy end of things, this was our order: the missus got the “Sushi Lunch” combo-8 pieces of nigiri plus a choice of tuna or California roll (she chose tuna). This came with salad and miso soup, both of which were very good. The non-sushi eater got a chicken teriyaki plate. Thankfully, his brother has recently decided he does not like sushi-I think there was an encounter with too much wasabi somewhere-and so it did not turn out to be a ruinous meal. This is both a source of parental pride and a source of financial stress. I think I’ve mentioned before that our older boy has in recent years developed a taste for sushi. There were three tables set out and having arrived just as they opened we grabbed the one 4-top and got down to bidness. And so we were all the more glad that Sushi Nozomi still has outdoor seating. I am sorry to say, however, that unlike in L.A proper places in the South Bay do not seem to be asking patrons to show evidence of vaccination before entry-the mandate seems to not really be in effect down here. With more and more diners obviously jazzed about eating indoors most restaurants cannot staff indoor and outdoor spaces and so have punted the latter. Yesterday, for example, I called place after place in Long Beach, Gardena and Torrance only to hear from them all that they have suspended outdoor service. This arrangement is seemingly now rarer and rarer in the South Bay (and probably elsewhere in Los Angeles too). I should note first of all that Sushi Nozomi, like a lot of the other restaurants in the large strip mall it is situated in, still has excellent tented outdoor seating (with heaters if you want them). We stopped in again on this trip-Torrance being much closer to our new base of operations in Seal Beach than to our previous in Koreatown-and this meal was even better. I’ve previously reported on a meal eaten there six and a half years ago, a bit on the run on the way to the Long Beach Aquarium. And if you’re in Torrance one of the best choices for that combination is Sushi Nozomi. I will instead only reiterate that it is very easy to find good sushi all over Los Angeles county-you don’t need to go to the temples of sushi in order to eat very good fish served atop very good rice. My views on Minnesota sushi being just about as beloved as my views on Minnesota dim sum, I will say no more about that. If dim sum is one of things we most look forward to eating in Los Angeles, so is sushi. ![]()
