Description:
SANTA MONICA. Known for an exceptional selection of sakes and an award-winning sushi bar, The Hump rests above its sister restaurant, Typhoon. The establishment's name honors WWII supply pilots, who crossed over the Himalayas and called Mount Everest "the hump." Diners can choose from a wide assortment of fresh sushi and sashimi; folks who shy away from raw seafood can take advantage of the menu's handful of cooked dishes. Contemporary decor and great views of airport take-offs and landings complete the experience. |

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:
BEVERLY HILLS. True connoisseurs of sushi gladly fork over $250 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. |

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. |
