"As much a kaiseki feast as sushi omakase, this place is tiny, with fewer than ten seats. With a hand-sanded bar above the fray on Rodeo Drive , and famed chef Hiroyuki Urasawa attending to everyone’s needs, it feels exclusive—and it is. Uni and caviar are sometimes garnished with gold, the only overtly extravagant flourish on a menu that otherwise shines on technique and sourcing. From the A5 Wagyu tartare to the truffle (as in Périgord) ice cream, there are no standard moves here, and that’s why it’s one of L.A.’s few two-Michelin-starred restaurants—and why you drop so much money on the experience." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams
