| The cheerful staff makes the artsy local crowd feel at home in a dining room filled with candle-topped tables and abstract art. At the busy sushi bar, chefs create impressive platters of sashimi, occasionally apologizing for a less than perfect toro that is nonetheless much better quality than what we're used to consuming at many neighborhood sushi bars. A salad of spinach and enoki mushrooms is redolent of sesame oil, and yellowtail carpaccio is drizzled with red pepper-ponzu sauce. One can ask for a California roll here, but the grilled sea bass with Saikyo miso or tender squid sushi---layered over a peppery oba leaf---are more interesting. Whimsical saké cocktails draw happy hour crowds into the lounge, and many end up staying for solid tempura, bowls of udon noodles or salmon teriyaki for dinner. Also located at 11651 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, 310-477-1551. |
