Brentwood-Westwood, Los Angeles ยท restaurant
A counter bar built around the temaki format. Fish flown in from Japan, hand rolls assembled to order and handed over before the nori loses its snap. The toro truffle spoon with nori chips and spicy tuna crispy rice are the orders that define the room, with sake and cocktails on tap keeping things moving. It pulls the Brentwood date-night crowd as easily as it does a mid-week group dinner.
