Jonathan Gold visits one of the most dependably delicious sushi restaurants in Los Angeles, Hiko Sushi.

The house policies create an environment of high expectations, which the food actually transcends. Hiko serves traditional sushi only -- no tempura, no teriyaki and no California rolls, but the combination of steaming hot rice and soft fish are a delectable and mouth-watering mixture.
