Often the most affordable way to experience a sushi restaurant is through the chirashi bowl.

Here in Los Angeles, high quality sushi is usually a pricey proposition, where diners can expect to spend upwards of $100 for a sit-down omakase.

Instead, a chirashi bowl isn’t just simpler to prepare for chefs, but also easier for diners to eat, especially for takeout and delivery. And since chefs can use various off-cuts or end pieces of fish, it’s a way for restaurants to maximize their product instead of slicing nigiri-sized pieces. Here now, 16 affordable chirashi bowls around Los Angeles, usually priced around or below $35.
