What is the best West Side (Santa Monica/Venice) area sushi restaurant?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The blue crab roll is amazing--you'll order two.
Butter fish, bonito, Norwegian mackerel and toro are my favorites at echigo.
Some feedback:

It's in a strip mall on the second floor. The parking spaces on street level say 30 minutes, but you can ignore that since nothing else is really open at night.
Get the chef's choice the first time.

Here's a summary of my most recent dining experience there, which was excellent.
For a group of 3:
Edamame, Cruncy Spicy Tuna with Avocado, Salmon Sashimi, Chilean Seabass in Yuzu Butter (out of this world), Panko Crusted Salmon with Wasabi Cream and Tonkatsu Sauce, and a couple large glasses of Hot Sake "Ozeki".
I'm a sucker for dessert, so we all shared a Chocolate Volcano "Sushi Roku" style with vanilla bean ice cream. Needless to say, it was a wonderful meal and broke down to about $40/person.
