Master Critic Review

Asakuma Sushi 7.7
Sawtelle
A delivery-pioneer on the Westside with a broad menu of rolls, nigiri, and poke-leaning bowls. It’s not a hushed omakase temple—think dependable, fast, and fresher than most takeout-first sushi.
Must-Try Dishes: Assorted nigiri set, Spicy tuna crispy rice, Salmon avocado roll
