The worst sushi I've ever had in my whole life!!! Everything is loaded with jalapeno and the fish is sooo NOT FRESH (maybe that's why they use so much jalapeno: to cover up the bad taste of the nasty low-quality fish). I went there with my husband and we ordered the dynamite roll, which was shockingly disgusting (both in appearance and in taste): soggy california rolls dipped in some really nasty tomato sauce and covered with a stir fry of carrots, broccoli, and scallops (everything sour and mushy). We also had some other stuff off the revolving belt (all equally horrible!). Seriously, how can the owners be so clueless? I noticed how the people sitting next to us were just as offended by the food as we were, and I even overheard one of the guys say: "this is awful".

Daichan is in a very Japanese-y area on Sawtelle and Olympic. It's a kaiten sushi, also called revolving sushi, which is nice because you can grab whatever you want as it comes around. The sushi tastes pretty good all the time and the sushi chefs are friendly. I like going here, but I like to go during crowded hours (it's never ridiculously crowded) otherwise there's not much sushi going around and you'd have to order and ask for it. Price is also pretty good for sushi.

Don't pay attention to the person who reviewed below saying they had bad service...must have been a fluke, because I have been eating here for months now since I have discovered it and these people bend over backwards to accommodate you. Trust me. This place can't be beat for the value. Very fresh and delicious sushi with a good selection of beer/sake, along with very friendly sushi chefs (who are more than willing to do a sake bomb with you!). Whats more, this is one of only two kaiten-style sushi restaurants (that I know of) in the city of Los Angeles. If you haven't been to kaiten-style sushi (where the plates come around on a conveyer belt around each table in the restaurant), don't judge it till you have been--it's great. It's actually the most popular style of sushi restaurant in Japan. All the commonly ordered dished rotate around for an hour (covered) and then are kicked off if not picked up (to maintain optimum freshness). And the chefs are there to make custom dishes/sushi as you like. This is just a fun place, and if you have not been, go! You won't regret it.
