Yelp 5 Star Review - Coco G.

Heard about this place from a coworker. Did not disappoint! You have to get a reservation. Parking is a challenge so plan out ahead of time. We happened to be in Little Tokyo all day so we walked 20 min to come to the restaurant. Expect to spend $50 plus per person. There's someone at the entrance to check you in then a long stairway down into the fancy upscale modern space. The restaurant is most known for its long suspended fish tank above people's heads. Then there are bright pieces of art that have a contemporary feel on the walls and mobile like chandeliers that look like stacked eggshells (would've been even cooler with some tentacles to look like jellyfish). We were seated immediately and s as ok staff were extremely attentive, professional, and helpful. We ordered avocado salmon rolls and tai carpaccio as well as a Roku yuzu Collin's cocktail off of the happy hour menu. We then ordered the Otto drink (smoky whisky based), shishito peppers appetizer, veggie curry udon, short ribs (on a bed of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables), miso soup and veggie tempura, and miso black cod (on a bed of greens) from the main menu. Food is brought out as dishes are ready. All in all a memorable dining experience! I even went upstairs to check out the second floor which has a second bar. It looks like you could host a semi private party up there. Bathrooms are clean and dark (black tile, black walls, red door). We'll be back!
