The Best Sushi in Santa Monica, by the Record
Santa Monica has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Shunji, honored by Michelin Guide.

Rank 1. Shunji
Sushi
Two counters share the space, divided by a sliding wood partition, but regulars know which side to book. This is an omakase counter in Santa Monica where the chef's experience goes deep, the blonde wood counter runs minimalist and calm, and the nigiri speaks for itself. Prices match the ambition without apology. Reservations at the smaller counter fill fast, which tells you something without requiring anyone to say it.
