2 Die For Sushi
7.9
A small, unpretentious sushi bar that focuses on freshness and straightforward execution. Regulars like the hearty rolls and friendly, efficient service, especially for takeout. It’s not a flashy room, but the fish quality outperforms the setting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Eel Roll, Dynamite Roll, Caterpillar Roll

Who should go: Locals wanting no-frills quality sushi.
When to visit: Weeknights for easy seating.
What to order: Eel roll, dynamite roll, caterpillar roll.
Insider tip: Grab the daily cut rolls—they’re usually the freshest picks.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Small shared lot behind the building doubles as motel parking—expect competition for spots during dinner rush. Street parking on Reseda Blvd is the backup plan.
Weekend wait: No reservations accepted—arrive before 6 PM or call ahead for a wait estimate. Peak hours get crowded.
Dietary Options
Best For
Better for: Casual sushi with friends or family—booth and sushi bar seating work for small groups or couples who want a low-key neighborhood spot.
Consider Alternatives If: You need easy parking or a polished atmosphere—the strip-mall setting next to a motel is rough around the edges.
