Description:
WEST LOS ANGELES. This understated spot doesn't even have its name on the sign – look instead for a rustic sketch of a fish. The minimalist interior features simple table and bar seating in order to place focus on the exquisite food. In fact, presentation of some of the city's freshest seafood is so breathtaking that diners have been known to comment that they didn't know whether to eat it or frame it. Try octopus carpaccio, broiled prawns, or fabulously fresh sashimi. Order a Kirin beer to highlight the flavors. |

Description:
MALIBU. This tiny spot just off the PCH attracts folks looking for a change from Malibu's usual seafood joints. Offering seating inside and on a pleasant deck, it lets diners choose which ambience they prefer, although both are eminently casual. Cholada's claim to fame is a menu of solid Thai favorites – there's no groundbreaking cuisine, but their takes on traditional favorites are full of flavor and value. Variations on pad Thai, curries, and soups form the bulk of the entrees, while sweet coconut rice is a tempting dessert option. |

CULVER CITY. Lunch and dinner crowds flock here whether it be young professionals throughout the week or curious fish fanatics who come for their sushi fix on the weekends.

Chef and owner Keizo Ishiba is an icon around town, celebrated for his fusion of French style with the tradition of Japanese small plates and sushi rolls. Allow the staff to guide your each choice, as they'll make your dining experience an art form and surprise the palate with an eruption of different tastes. |

Description:
BEVERLY HILLS. Bon Appetit meets Town & Country at this trendy Euro-Asian seafood restaurant and bar. A two-level re-enactment of a Vietnamese dinner club, it's where beautiful people meet beautiful food. Dungeness crab with An's secret garlic sauce or sake-simmered crab will make you salivate on the spot. Garlic noodles are justifiably famous, and every Asian tapas is carefully prepared and presented. For dessert, try the Music Box or the special trio of sorbets – they're a perfect ending to a memorable meal. The trendier you look, the better your table. |

Description:
BEVERLY HILLS. True connoisseurs of sushi gladly fork over $350 for much sought-after omakase-style meals from renowned sushi chef Hiroyuki Urasawa. Only a reservation grants entrance to this intimate, zen-like space, where you'll experience course after course of the freshest, most painstakingly prepared fish. While the menu changes often, past dishes have included seared toro (a prime, fatty cut of tuna) served on a hot stone, tataki-style Kobe beef with wasabi and sea salt, and a perfectly-textured slice of tofu topped with caviar and gold flakes. A decent sake selection is on-hand to accompany blissful culinary journeys, but take note – alcohol is not included in the price of dinner. Also, diners can choose the number of courses they would like – typically, it's 25 to 30. |

Matsuhisa |
|
(Restaurants - Asian) |

129 N La Cienega Blvd, Beverly Hills 90211 • 310-659-9639
|
|
Distance:
~7.96 mi * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
BEVERLY HILLS. Matsuhisa is first-born sibling to the internationally trendy Nobu restaurants and is the chef-owner's original endeavor. It's not so given to fanfare as the others, and the relative quiet of the place is incredibly appealing to folks who prefer that the focus be on the cuisine. And what sublime food it is, thanks to an excellent sashimi salad, delectable tempura, and "new style" sashimi that gets a kick from Latin American flavors. Cooked items are also terrific, as is the omakase menu. And yes, it's a great spot for stargazing – no, not the celestial kind. |
