Personally i m a sushi lover. Although the Japanese food is super expensive, i went to this restaurant at least twice per month:)

The seafood are pretty fresh, and the dishes are tailored made. I pretty enjoy every piece of it, I pretty enjoy every moment of it:)

With five tables, a private VIP room and a cozy bar space, La Sushi brings intimate Japanese dining to the heart of Sanlitun. The exceptional menu covers the basics of sushi, sashimi, fried fish and meats, as well as soba and udon noodles, but the centerpiece is the toro fatty tuna.

The three-piece fatty tuna sampler (¥108) includes three different cuts of fresh, supple toro, paired with lemon, horseradish and wasabi mayo. The melt-in-your-mouth toro can also be tasted in most other sampler plates. We ordered the eight-piece sushi sampler (¥178), eight cuts of fish over rice, including salmon, yellow tail, mackerel, a gigantic botan shrimp, scallop, egg, octopus and, of course, fatty tuna. Served with a tuna roll and two bowls of piping hot miso soup, the sampler is a solid bargain.

Those looking to enjoy La Sushi on a budget should opt for the udon noodles (¥25). Though not hand-pulled, the soft udon are delicious and served with a soft-yolk egg in one of the best tasting miso broths in the city.

Service at La Sushi is attentive, and a cup of sencha tea, a hot towel and a small appetizer are presented upon seating. While everything was flawless on the floor, we were distracted by one of the sushi chefs practicing knife tricks behind the bar. Fortunately, he had some skill, but we were nervous nonetheless.

Décor is elegant, with wood furnishings and a beautiful copper stove. As is the case in far too many Nali Patio venues, however, there is no bathroom inside the restaurant. Behind the bar, wines outnumber sakes—perhaps this is where the “la” in “La Sushi” comes from?—both of which are reasonably priced, with sakes ranging from ¥150 to ¥1,650. :D
