Description:
Even after almost 10 years, this place still attracts Hollywood's A-list crowd. Incorporating feng shui elements, the minimalist earthen-hued interior has a calming ambience that is a welcome relief from the hectic La Cienega scene just outside the ornately carved gates. The chef's fusions of Japanese and Californian cuisine account for the repeat clientele. As is the case for trendy restaurants like this, the food is overpriced, but wonderful. Start with the refreshing cucumber sunomono tower flavored with sweet vinegar and edible flowers, followed by a baked crab roll with edible rice paper (fantastic), the tuna tartare and avocado on crispy wontons, the yellowtail carpaccio delicately flavored with grape-seed oil, and black cod bronzed with miso that's warm-butter soft and exploding with sweet flavor. Tip: Request one of the horseshoe booths on the back patio amid Buddha statues and candlelight.

Smashing food, nice clientele, welcoming staff. The only thing is the deep couches and ottomans in the lounge - back ache after a while. Rock'n roll very tasty!
