    Came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and had an amazing meal! This is located in a dense part of Hollywood close to The Pantages Theater and I opted for valet right in front rather than search for a spot. Let's get to the food: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - 5 stars. Excellent! Perfectly crisped rice underneath creamy and delicious spicy tuna. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - 5 stars. Utilizing the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts gives this a crispy and light quality and the seasoning is delicious, not your typical "balsamic glazed" sprout Miso Cod Bites - 4 1/2 Stars. This was a healthier and light appetizer and a nice little bite. Baked Crab Hand Rolls - 5+ stars. The best baked crab roll on earth!! No notes! Assorted Kushiyaki - 5 stars. We got the asparagus and the eggplant and both were great! Assorted Ngiri - 5 Stars. Every piece was fresh and absolutely delicious. The service was fabulous as well. Extra olive juice on the side of my Filthy Martini was a nice "mint on the pillow" moment for me, and the mini sparkler candle that was brought out for my bday dessert was charming. The ambiance is minimalist and upscale, and our giant booth was perfect for a bday celebration. Well done Katsuya, can't wait to come back!

    I've been tokyo for unagi at watabe which is a pretty high rated restaurant. Somehow toku unagi taste better even though they import their unagi from Japan which is really mind blowing. They do their tea with unagi so much better. Their sashimi is also very fresh and cut perfectly. Is pricey but not that pricey when you think you don't need an airplane ticket to get something similar but taste better than in Japan.
