Kaiten-sushi Daichan - Los Angeles

Tasty. Fun for kids. Reasonable prices. Blue crab handrolls are great.

Fun, lively reasonbly priced. Daichan popped my kaiten sushi cherry.......and i loved every second of it! woot!! <br/ <br/ dropped into daichan on halloween because i was craving sushi and above all....daishan is located near by to my pad. i also heard daichan was cheap and i had built up a good deal of intestinal fortitude this year so off i went. <br/ <br/ my friend and i were seated at the bar and to my dismay, all the fish was PRE-CUT!!!! boooooooooooo!! well, since i was unsure of the etiquette, i ordered a pitcher of kirin and sat back and watched the other patrons do their thing. after i finished my first mug, i joined in on the plate snatching and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish..........it was actually decent! <br/ <br/ maguro (tuna): nice thick cuts and pretty fresh for being pre cut <br/ sake (salmon): very thick cut as well and as with the maguro, pretty good for being pre-cut <br/ hamachi (yellowtail): just eh.......not good, not bad. <br/ uni (sea urchin): this was pretty good.....i was rather surprised <br/ ankimo (monkfish liver): just ok. not much flavor. <br/ chicken karaage: nice and fresh but not a lot of flavor. <br/ <br/ at this point, you are probably asking me why i gave the place 4 stars right? wellll!!!!!! <br/ <br/ it's because the itamae, bruce, was fricking hilarious. i bought a pitcher and poured him a beer. then kanpai!! filled up another mug.....kanpai!!!! we continued to chug beers all night with him buying a pitcher, me buying the next one, him buying...etc. so much for a mellow evening noshing on sushi and getting to bed early. bah!! <br/ <br/ and boy did we get SLOSHED!!!! bruce was behind the sushi bar making sushi with a ghetto slant. and every time bruce attempted to walk, he would stumble sideways. gooooooood times!! now i know why the fish is pre-cut.....so bruce wouldn't hurt himself when he gets drunk with the customers. lol!! <br/ <br/ in summary, daichan is a good place for decent sushi and a rocking great time chugging beers with the sushi chef! hahaha!

Sushi was fresh and incredible ! Will come back!
