Los Angeles Restaurants

  1. Chaya Brasserie

    Wood beams and soaring bamboo complement a spacious Asian-style atrium where Chef Shigefumi Tachibe whips up savory French dishes with Japanese flair. Savvy shoppers flock here from Robertson Blvd for great happy-hour deals on sushi and martinis. For the same great deals and taste at the beach, try sister restaurant Chaya Venice (110 Navy St) on the border of Santa Monica and Venice.

  2. Koi

    Some come for celeb-spotting, some come for superior service, but all come for the spicy tuna on crispy rice at this bamboo-fortified sanctum in the heart of the TMZ. Nobodies nibble Japanese specialties in the warm, Asian-accented central dining room while patio-dwellers - Owen Wilson, David Spade, Nicolette Sheridan and Avril Lavigne - float past. Reservations recommended.
