I would even say best sushi on the westside, but that's because of the value Sushi Karen offers. The quality (fresh and thick cuts) and service (friendly and welcoming) must have been undervalued by the owner(s) of this establishment, because the price falls between fast-food sushi and mediocre sushi restaurants.


It is easy to miss this place as it seems like half the width of a normal shop along this block. Parking is not too difficult even though there is no lot for the restaurant. You can park along Midway Ave. (which intersects Washington) and enjoy a nice stroll to sushi bliss.


Not recommended for large groups as seating is limited, but I highly recommend this for couples. Order a little bit at a time (because the thickness of their cuts may throw you) and order some hot sake to sip along with your date.
