Saturday nights seem very busy at this relatively new place, so glad the buzz is finding it's way. Strongly recommend reservations if dropping by on weekend, as I saw a good number of folks had to be turned away because no rsvp. Enjoyed every aspect: food, service, the setting. All really cool, real DTLA, and not touristy Little Tokyo. Star of night was the Japanese Sea Bass, a finely slit carpaccio in a light oil base. May be one of best single dishes I've had in all DTLA restaurants. And big props to Kentaro, who took care of us all evening. Excellent service. By the way, can't go wrong on Sake choices, we went through a bottle of a semi-sweet, semi-dry Sake from a small region in Japan. Solid. Maybe next time the Omakase, which based on folks who ordered it, looked really interesting.More infoBar AsobuPrice: Expensive• Izakaya• Downtown•5
- BBrandonLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 29, 2025The restaurant is very clean and the service is great. They use OpenTable, they take card, and you can pay the bill with a QR code which is super convenient. I went for Dine LA and had the following: -Pesto Paneer: mild in flavor, the texture and density of the paneer was slightly firmer which I prefer; the peppers and onion added great flavor to the pesto. -Cali Sticky Ribs: the sauce isn’t too sweet and the spice level is also mild; the meat was very tender and came right off the bone. -Chicken Vindaloo: the chicken was moist, the curry was very flavorful with a medium level of spice. -Vanilla Panna Cotta: a cute little gelatinous/custard treat in a decorative mold shape with a berry sauce that wasn’t too sweet and a few strawberry pieces; a perfect smaller portion after a heavier meal.More infoCali Chilli Downtown Los AngelesPrice: Expensive• Indian• Downtown•4
