Superb sushi - Go There NOW!!!

Then there is The Kress, named after the department store that was in this Art Deco building many years ago. Most recently this place was the longtime home of Frederick's of Hollywood. Now the decor is like a collision of Chinoiserie with Art Deco -- terribly over-the-top, yet some how strangely appropos to Hollywood. It's one big glamorous place that just shrieks swankosity. But the food, it truly is noteworthy. Most notable is their executive sushi chef, Travis Kamiyama. Reviews on Chowhound have likened it to Urasawa, so I was keen to sample such highly praised sushi. He has fresh fish flown in from Japan daily. We ordered omakase from Hiro, one of the chefs under Travis and it was well nigh a religious experience - halibut and snapper sashimi from Japan, the fattiest toro you can imagine, hamachi with truffle oil, geoduck and two varieties of eel that were unctuous and delightful. The uni looked just like a cat's tongue and melted in my mouth. We chatted with Hiro and Travis about manga and anime (Hiro san is quite the fan), and about my preference of Tatsuya Nakadai over Toshiro Mifune. Between courses I cast an eagle eye on my husband to observe strict sushi etiquette (fish this good need not be doused with shoyu and wasabi). No fears, it was all just one big domo arigato to Hiro sama, for he was truly a master of sushi. We treated the three chefs to glasses of sake. It was really some of the most marvelous sushi ever, and tragically near empty on an early Thursday evening (good for us though, ordering omakase).

The Best Sushi Experience of My Life

I just had three hours of the tasting menu at The Kress sushi bar and was totally impressed and sated. Much of the fish was flown in from Japan, the sushi bar was top-notch and the service was superlative. Considering the absolutely impeccable quality of food, the explosive pan-Asian interior and great staff, I almost feel like I was robbing them. The Kress has not caught on yet for it's dining, so you can actually get into the restaurant, but it is already mobbed on weekends. My suggestion: go to The Kress right away or you will be regretting it. This place is about to explode.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Kress Restaurant Review

Once a Kress department store, then the flagship of Frederick's of Hollywood for 59 years, this 1934 landmark building is ready to make history again. Club owner Mike Viscuso took over the space and with designer David Krumins spared no expense in restoring its Art Deco grandeur. Viscuso named his first Los Angeles venture in honor of the original owner, Samuel Kress, whose stores were known...

This former historic department store (and Frederick's of Hollywood headquarters after that) is now a four-story entertainment complex in the heart of Hollywood. After a $7-million renovation, it's very opulent and Art Deco-y, the kind of place where Paris Hilton would want to hold a masquerade party (she did in 2008). There's a nightclub in the basement, an Asian-inspired restaurant on the...

If a younger or more urban crowd is your thing, then the Kress is for you.Definitely check on the music & promoters ahead of time & consider a table on the roof as a haven from the party around you.

They should get a zboost...
