Try Ink
For what you get culinarily, its a bargain.
There are better and more expensive restaurants in LA but for the money, you will leave very satisfied.

if you like chinese food... there are a few top tier restaurants in the san gabriel valley like 888, sam woo, and nbc. depending on what you order it can get very pricey. (e.g. $300+ for a king crab or roasted whole hog)

[SaMaster14]

The Palm
South Beverly Grill (great bar scene, live music)
Nobu (malibu)
Katsua (Brentwood)
Il Fornaio (Beverly Hills/Santa Monica)
C.U.T.
Spago
Cafe Primo

And some chains that are always good:
Flemings
Ruth's Chris


I feel like there are obviously quite a bit more... but those are the first that come to mind

if you want a once in a life time Japanese meal
Urasawa is it. 2 ppls with sake will run about 1,000

what kind of food does that get? sushi i've had just about everything aside from blowfish and it seems like a good hole-in-the-wall is as good as anything

20 sushi and 10 cooked dishes.
Urasawa is on class of its own in LA. IMO it's on par with many michelin 3 sushi places in the world.

its about the experience, the service, the presentation
I think the food is good/great for sushi
but if sushi is just sushi to you then it wont be worth it.


its like the steak we can pay $100 for a steak at a fancy place or grill one at home for $10 and its probably equal.

yeah sometimes you want the atmosphere. purely for food, my dad had an old buddy who owned fishing boats. cut it up and eat it right on the boat, he said that was the best sushi he's had
