"I feel like a victim. I feel victimized and violated... It's just scary," she said. Hamachi JalapenoHamachi belly sashimi served with thinly sliced jalapeno in ponzu sauce. Hiroyuki Urasawa is a legend in LA’s Japanese food scene although not always for the best reasons. Setting employee lawsuits alledging chopstick assault and unpaid wages aside, when it comes to omakase, he and his Rodeo Drive institution in Beverly Hills only ever get high marks—including two Michelin stars in the most recent Los Angeles guidebook. Urasawa personally inspects and approves every piece of seafood that is flown in daily and then turns it—plus edible gold flakes, foie gras, and truffles—into beautiful plates that respect tradition and push boundaries simultaneously. Reservations are hard to come by despite the 25-course experience costing $400 before drinks.

Despite being around for decades, the restaurant is regularly packed and still churns out top-quality sushi using both the expected (albacore, freshwater eel, and sea urchin) and uncommon (bonito, sardine, and orange clam). There’s also a wide selection of oysters, cold dishes including sashimi tacos, and hot specials like black cod with miso and chicken truffle dumplings. Many of his best ideas are also served with a side of waterfront scenery at Nobu in Malibu or in Newport Beach's Lido Marina Village.
A Glitzy LA-Based Sushi Restaurant Is Opening Its First NorCal Location
They make trips to the fish markets every morning to grab fresh cuts to fill the multi-course menu of mostly nigiri (served atop signature warm rice) with sashimi and handrolls thrown in for good measure. Dinner is by pre-paid reservation only and costs $175. Fees are charged for rebooking and no-shows, and they won't accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, anti-rice, or anti-vinegar diets. Los Angeles is easily one of the best sushi towns outside of Japan, thanks to an abundance of fresh seafood, superstar chefs, and a large audience rabid for raw fish. Given the big difference between grocery store sashimi and top-of-the-line toro, this list will narrow the crowded field down to 12 superior restaurants. Crabmeat, mango and cream cheese roll (top with shrimp, sweet miso and spicy mango sauce).

The folks behind the bar were all trained in Ginza at the main outpost, which contributes to the $300 price tag. LA-based TAG Front Architects designed the 4,500-square-foot restaurant, which features textured Japanese brick tile on the exterior and interior details including an accoya wood screen, live edge walnut bar tops, and textured glass panels. Innovative Dining Group co-founders Lee Maen and Philip Cummins say they hope the restaurant draws diners from both Silicon Valley and the Peninsula and are excited to be a part of the area’s legendary tech community. In 2022, the company also shared plans to open a location of Boa Steakhouse in Palo Alto, though details of that project’s future have yet to be announced. Diners of a certain age may remember when West Hollywood’s Sushi Roku seemed to draw celebrities through its doors like flies to honey. The stylish restaurant, which first debuted in Los Angeles in 1997, even appeared in a handful of reality TV shows that were popular in the early aughts including The Hills and Rachel Zoe Project.

Given the high standards and top-notch seafood being used, the $80 omakase is a steal. They stock a phenomenal variety of sake, shochu, and Japanese craft beer. The gut reaction to the phrase “strip mall sushi” might be to run in the opposite direction. But in LA, many wasabi wizards toil in nondescript shopping center spots, often in the San Fernando Valley, including Shin’s Taketoshi Azumi, who named his Encino restaurant after the one his late father ran in Tokyo.
For gins of a clear spirit, the Sundown on Sunset blends Monkey 47 gin, sake, blood orange, apricot brandy, and grapefruit bitters.

Witnesses at the restaurant tried to follow the man but he escaped. The victim filed a police report and posted the footage online - soon learning that another woman had been assaulted in the same area earlier that day.
It results in unique and tasty creations like baked lobster with miso hollandaise and blue crab caviar with garlic aioli and truffle soy sauce, making Sushi Roku a good place to go with someone who would rather have steak than smelt egg. The white walls, paper lanterns, and blond wood can evoke the wrong first impression of this 39-seat, dinner-only restaurant on Pico as the food is anything but boring. The Michelin star recipient starts with house-made tofu, organic produce from the farmers market, and mostly wild-caught fish splayed gracefully over rice or wrapped in seaweed. Even finishing details like hibiscus salt, yuzu pepper, and mountain yam paste are well thought out. Complete the experience with green tea ice cream churned from scratch. Sauteed vegetable with shrimp, scallops, chicken and beef with chef's special brown sauce.
The code demands rice be loosely packed and warm so it melts in the mouth. Stringy, chewy, tough, and fishy fish are all verboten. It adds up to simple, balanced pieces of sea bream with shiso, albacore belly, and bay scallops. Order a la carte or choose a preset package ranging from $19 to $52.
Currently, Sushi Roku has seven locations (including the upcoming Palo Alto outpost) spread across California, Texas, and Nevada. All are owned by Innovative Dining Group, the Southern California-based team behind Boa Steakhouse, Katana, Robata Bar, and a handful of other restaurants. While the sushi section of the 13-course kaiseki meal is small, it’s mighty enough to merit inclusion. "Chef’s Table" subject Niki Nakayama cut her teeth at Brentwood’s acclaimed Takao before embarking on a three-year working journey around Japan. The minimalist Palms space, her third solo venture, is a culmination of all her culinary experiences. With the help of added girl power from sous chef Carole Iida-Nakayama and their own organic garden, Nakayama has modernized the traditional, often formal Japanese style that emphasizes balance and seasonality.
