 Chaya Brasserie has had a devoted coterie of patrons for a quarter of a century, and has spawned sister restaurants from Venice to San Francisco and downtown L.A. One of the first upscale Asian-fusion restaurants in town, it offers elegance and trendy style. The décor scheme includes orchids and bamboo; tables are dressed in white linen and meticulously appointed. The patio, with a retractable awning, is a lovely alternative to the bustling main dining room and a “La Petite Chaya” tapas menu (e.g. a small jar of chicken liver mousse, brandade croquettes, truffled macaroni-and-cheese) is available there and in the very brasserie-esque lounge, where a guava martini whets the appetite. Over the years, Chaya has been famous for its sushi rolls, such as the Banzai version, made of soft-shell crab. Other starters include hefty platters of fruits de mer and a salad of frisée, lardons and poached egg in a mustard vinaigrette worthy of a Parisian bistro. As you can see, despite its reputation for Asian inspirations, Chaya is a very good French brasserie, as well. Pastas include Maine lobster and shrimp ravioli, and entrées feature miso-marinated white sea bass with wasabi beurre blanc, Pinot Noir-braised Kobe beef short ribs, and rustic boudin blanc sausage with apples. Try the warm chocolate croissant bread pudding or Hawaiian vanilla bean crème brûlée for dessert. After all these years, the place still rocks and it has a lively bar scene; for a table, make sure to call ahead for a reservation. |
