Many moons ago I, with my family, used to eat at the sushi bar. So, so good!!! But now with 3 sons, I can't afford it!! I know they would love to eat at the sushi bar but I'm afraid of how much that would cost!! Osoroshii!!! My friend in Torrance says that the sushi at the Marukai on Hawthorne and Sepulveda is good. I haven't tried it yet.
That Marukai is a dinky store... Better off going to the one on Artesia near Western... Or the Mitsuwa.

I can appreciate your dilemma...eating at a sushi bar ordering sushi a la carte can be quite expensive! Perhaps you need to find a sushi bar, and I think most do, that offers a set lunch or dinner at a predetermined price. That way you can get enjoy a meal with your family at a more reasonable cost.
...or just go eat with your family tto a ramen shop....at 9 bucks a bowl I'm sure it'll be cheaper than sushi!

I was thinking the same thing about set price sushi plates.
Your $9 ramen seems kinda pricey to me though. HEre in the sticks we are only charged about $7.50. _________________

The sushi at the Torrance Mitsuwa is pretty good but I don't care for Sushi Boy sushi that's sold at Marukai.... it's OK. There are 2 Japanese sushi men making the sushi at the Marukai on Sep/Hawth in the corner of the store. One day I'll order one of those party size dishes for a family gathering.

That's an idea. One sushi set would be just fine for me but I may have to order 2 orders for the boys or order a couple of sushi platters (take out).
Only one of my sons is noodle freak like me but the other two aren't that crazy about noodles but they do enjoy a good bowl of ramen or udon. I do want to try the ramen shop at the old "Meiji" plaza.

I hope you get a chance to try it. I think you'll enjoy their ramen. If you also enjoy udon...if you haven't tried it yet, you have to go to Sanuki no Sato in Gardena. They actually make their udon noodles from scratch and you can seriously taste the difference. I don't really think there is another udon shop that can hold a candle to it as far as I know. They have what seems like a million types of udon dishes and they have a picture board with tons of photos of famous Japanese celebrities that provides evidence of the restaurant's popularity. You'll actually recognize a few of these celebrities as they've acted in numerous doramas and films.

Yeah I remember seeing Kenji Sakaguchi, Ken Watanabe, and a host of Japanese baseball players up on the wall.
Our places claim to fame is John Travolta.

Yeah, that's cool. I've been to a couple of izakayas (taverns) that have played Japanese popular music that I recognized from drama soundtracks
It was amusing once when I sang the chorus to a popular Tiawanese drama, Love AT THe Dolphin Bay. Very cheery songs, they always put me in a good mood. The staff were stunned. Our town is not a big place for Asian drama. One of the girls asked me for a series after that. Very amusing.
