    Lesley Barger Suter is the dine editor of Los Angeles magazine. The May issue features sushi in Los Angeles. Barger Suter says that David Gelb's movie, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, has changed the way Angelenos consume the Japanese delicacy. No longer addicted to spicy tuna and California rolls, LA sushi eaters are learning to appreciate the art of the sushi master. Hear Gelb talking about his film with Evan Kleiman.

    For excellent fish, she recommends the following restaurants:

    Nishimura in West Hollywood

    Shibucho in Westlake

    Go's Mart in Canoga Park

    Plus, you can read more on sushi in Los Angeles magazine.
