SushiWa is a very trendy looking restaurant, which will throw you off on entrance, because from the outside it looks like a mom'n'pop operation. However once you roll in its definately upperclass.\n\nthe interior is very spacious, with private booth seats, regualar tables and an expansive bar area which we graciously occupied.\n\nYou can get the regular-whatever's-trendy in west LA fancy rolls here, but we befriended the Head chef (by ordering daiginjo sake and pouring a round to all the chefs;-) ) and asked for Chefs choice (Omakase style) but on the traditional side... and it was just crazy good!\nI think the constant Kanbai's with the chefs helped, cuz we got all the usual, but high grade toro, ikura, uni etc, but he also showed us a flying fish, live and whole, then fillet it before our eyes, and we had flying-fish sashimi, garnished with flying fish wings. Ditto with the Uni Rice where the rice was mixed with seasoning and Uni and served inside the Uni shell. I don't recall all that we ate here, i lot of stuff was new to me, but thats part of the fun in going to a new restaurant!\noh they had Orion beer here too, which is a plus.\nThe head chef also showed us a picture he took with the Princess of Belgium? who is apparently a regular there, but what i couldnt understand was, what the heck is the Princess of Belgium doing living in Vegas...
