About the restaurant

The best thing about this place, besides the sushi, is the ambiance. It has such a great vibe, especially for a date night. If you’re lucky enough to be seated on the balcony, soak in the view. Fan favorites are the crispy rice and Foie Gras. You'll have to try the yellowtail - I craved this everyday during my pregnancy!

About the restaurant

Best all you can eat deal in California. The short rib melts in your mouth and the bibimbap is next level. Don’t fill up on the apps even though they're all amazing. Save your appetite for the short rib, miso butter salmon, shrimp garlic, and the toro beef.

About the restaurant

Every time I walk in here I'm reminded how much I love the interior. The brunch here is out of this world. The Bloody Mary and heavenly hotcakes are my go-to. Also, the Thai ginger salad and mini roasted beet salad are both fantastic. You'll often find me grabbing these favorites for take out when I'm on the go.

Valet parking is right at the door for $13.00. The restaurant is "modern" and very clean and welcoming. Check-in, seating and service was perfect. Meal service was prompt. We had a table of 4 and meal one was a cheeseburger/fries and chicken noodle soup that was tasty. Also a Thai salad that was good but too small. (: The third meal was trout and again, done to perfection. Fourth meal was vegetarian and a Quinoa Salad and not so good but replaced with a spicy salad which was very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant which has very nice outdoor seating and indoor.

About the restaurant

A staple spot in most cities, but obviously, it's the best in LA. Try and get a spot on the roof because the views are breathtaking at night. The truffle sashimi and catch roll are both amazing. Great service too - this place never disappoints.

About the restaurant

This place has so much history and the waiters are always so friendly! The garlic bread is made from heaven and the grilled artichoke is a must-try. The steak is always great a great choice. Be sure to take a look at all of the vintage decorations that are scattered throughout the restaurant - definitely my favorite part.

I always feel so cool when I go to Tao. The interior is just amazing. I love the shishito peppers and dan dan noodles. The tao-tini is so delicious if you are looking for a refreshing drink.

I took my wife to TAO for her birthday and our Server Nicole was excellent! The manager Liz came over to visit and also wished my wife a Happy Birthday. That was very thoughtful. I would also like to thank Dorian and Chloe the bussers for excellent service and a memorable experience.

About the restaurant

I wish I was 10 years old again so that I could have my birthday party at Benihana. It’s always so fun and so delicious. I can't help but laugh uncontrollably at the chefs and their tricks. I almost always finish my rice before the main protein is ready!
