Haute Japanese cuisine marries high-concept design in Starck's deluxe "Bento box" restaurant on San Vicente, where Uechi has created a hip yet classic menu. An all-wood interior highlights sexy illuminated photographs, and giant granite boulders topped with flames flank the restaurant's all-glass exterior facade and teak terrace. Two levels of dining include a sushi bar, Robata bar, outdoor... more

LA's nightlife-and-dining kingpins SBE Entertainment join forces with a renowned chef (Katsuya Uechi) and a renowned designer (Philippe Starck) for a Brentwood oasis that's part businessman haven, part look-at-me marvel and part nabe-foodie gathering spot. We saw suits (!) and we saw gym shorts (?). First, let's get the issues out of the way: The robata selections we tried (jidori chicken,... more

Avoid the restaurant's namesake roll if you are at all skittish with chopsticks. It's huge, wrapped in cucumber, and immediately goes to pieces.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Sushi master Katsuya Uechi teams up with famed designer Philippe Starck at this sexy temple to Japanese cuisine in Brentwood.

In Short If you think it's all about the tanned and toned blondes in slinky dresses out front of the glass wall entrance--they're either standing around waiting for valet or seated at one of the small tables indulging in edamame (calories, ladies!)--then you've got another thing coming. Kind of. Yes, the crowd here can be pretty, but as designer extraordinaire Philippe Starck is apt... more

Celebrated French designer Philippe Starck has infused the place with the Geisha spirit, using large pictures of the eyes and mouth of a beautiful Japanese lady, while chef Katsuya Uechi, one of only four master sushi chefs in Los Angeles, sharpens his knives to transform fish into sushi.

never any attitude from the staff. prices are a little on the high end, but it is an upscale place so this is expected. the dishes are some of the best around, but most of them are non-traditional, so if you're looking for traditional sushi, then this may not be the best place for you.

Pros

+ sushi, decor, service

Cons

- none

Be careful and watch out for the screaming children!

When you sit down you are asked if you want "edaname or peppers" and I said edaname. Got the bill and they charged us $6 for the edaname! I figured it was given to us when asked the way the waiters do. When we ordered bottled water for our table they brought out 2 Vossis and we had to send one back. Mind you we didn't ask for 2.

I kid you not that there was a children's birthday party... more
