Dining room at Mori Sushi, Los Angeles, CAChef Morihiro Onodera (formerly of Takao in Brentwood) is a purist and an artist. The minimalist Japanese restaurant was designed by the proprietors with fresh bright colors and blonde wood. Figure this: Most tabletop items were hand-crafted over six years, and all dishes are served on handmade plates made by the owner and head chef. Choose the bar or a cozy corner table as things get noisy rather quickly. Chef Mori believes that Japanese saké and Champagne go best with sushi, but a good selection of beer and white wine is also offered. As expected, chef Mori prides himself on tradition blended with California touches. All dishes are either fish or vegetable, but the variety of fish is impressive. We prefer the spicy tuna tacos over the dynamite-baked seafood special served in an abalone shell. Can we tempt you with fresh octopus carpaccio or grilled black cod? Some of his crafts are available for purchase, should you want to spend a bit more.
