``The Brothers has recently moved up a few notches in my estimation. They used to be tucked away at Corbin and Vanowen - their `new' Ventura Boulevard location is way better, their turnover is pretty darn good, and in a few short years Brother has grown to become just about the best sushi bar in Woodland Hills.

``Long renowned for their mildly raggae atmosphere, and their wasabi and gari served up on green (banana) leaves, Brothers provides a unique atmosphere for lunch or dinner and a very high degree of discipline and freshness. Only on very rare occasions will they miss the mark on freshness (keep a distant eye out for bad oysters, however; I've caught two bad oysters at Brothers over an 18 year period. I did not consume them and they were replaced, of course).

``Because the prices are somewhat higher than usual, Brothers Sushi doesn't make my personal `A' list. While I have been to Brothers about 20 times over the years, if the tea were richer and pulpier and the prices a bit lower, I would have gone many more times. Tea gets a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. Brothers excels at making special mixtures of scallops and fish eggs and this and that. You will probably be able to find some rare and unusual item at Brothers. Ikura and uni consistently excellent. The selection is among the most colorful of which I am aware. The hot food is also very rewarding for those who don't revel in the raw.''
