Best Fusion Restaurants in Little Tokyo

This was a GREAT dining experience. We frequently visit high-end restaurants in LA and this was easily one of our favorites. Dinner and a show, with a level of entertainment and a quality of food we were not expecting; a welcome surprise. The decor is vibrant and beautiful and there are varied seating options, no matter what ambiance you're looking for. For those who like to be close to the action, there's seating near the open kitchen, but for those who want a more intimate dining experience, there's plenty of table space elsewhere to accommodate. Live music and dancing during dinner were exciting and fun, adding to the experience, but I would not say this is a "quiet" dining experience. We LOVED it. The food was EXCELLENT. Top tier, especially for high-class dining. Often in LA County, you get good food or a good vibe but Katsin has both. The portion sizes are large and very delicious. The beef cheeks are rich, buttery, and savory, while the Mediterranean-style lamb chops were some of the best I've had in SoCal. Dishes are well-cooked and seasoned to perfection. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive and the service was 10/10.

We have only been to Fanny’s one other time this year which is unusual for us as in previous years we were here more often. Tonight we were reminded of what we’ve been missing! Came early so that we could attend a screening at 7:30, and thus provided ourselves enough time to enjoy the always delicious cocktails and to share the always fresh and delicious simple salad, accompanied by their amazing focaccia with their garlic Boursin whipped butter. I had the delicious beef strips medium rare with great, crispy, seasoned fries and pasta with lobster. I topped off my steak with a glass of Nebbiolo! Everything great, and served by the charming, courteous and professional Ryan! We will be back sooner than later!!!

Such an awesome date night, venue was beautiful, singer was amazing, the cocktails were excellent, food was just ok (but we weren’t really there for the food). Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a fun night out in Hollywood.

This was our first visit to Asterid this season. We were going to the Opera so we had 5:30 reservations. Our hostess was so nice finding a perfect table for the 4 of us. Our waitress Malak noted the time we needed, making excellent suggestions. She surprised us with Prosecco for a toast for my husband’s birthday. The appetizers were served quickly & delicious with perfect martinis. We shared several salads & main dishes. Topped off by the delicious Budino dessert. Malak was friendly , professional, & knowledgeable. We look forward to more pre theater dinners . Thank you for the excellent service by all servers & the great team!!

Second time at Espelette, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. The service is impeccable, with staff who make you feel truly cared for. The food is delicious—thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The ambiance is simply lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for any occasion. Highly recommend!
