On my trip back to the United States in September, I finally got to stop in to see everyone and enjoy some of the best sushi ever.  If you love sushi and visit Southern California, stop by Aki’s on Redondo and 7th in Long Beach to visit an amazing neighborhood locals’ joint.  Even though I haven’t lived in Long Beach since 2004, I can go back and it’s almost like I never left — the same regulars and still the best sushi I’ve had.
