Katsuya is not the best sushi bar in L.A., nor is it the most expensive. But its stunning environment created by über-designer Philippe Starck, a beautiful clientele and inventive modern Japanese cuisine comprise a hip L.A. combination that’s hard to pass up. The restaurant’s design is dominated by huge backlit images of a geisha’s face---a pair of sly eyes taking in the hot scene or glossy red lips pouting from above. Guests sit on white leather couches or at seductively illuminated sushi and robata bars. Specialties of chef Katsuya Uechi include spicy tuna atop crispy rice, scoops of tuna and crab tartare in wonton cones, spicy albacore with crispy onions, and almond-crusted scallops. Tasty morsels---everything from asparagus to New York steak to buttery crab legs---are grilled behind the robata bar. The cocktails are sweet, sexy and exotic, like the entire Katsuya scene. |
