Shin Sushi

Japanese, Sushi · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Taketoshi Azumi is indeed the real deal—he's worked for two decades at top spots on both coasts and comes from a family of sushi connoisseurs. In fact, Shin is named for the Tokyo restaurant run by his late father (spot the sign hanging behind the counter).Despite its pedigree, the vibe is laid-back and the joyful chef keep things entertaining, and solo diners feel a part of the crowd. His approach to shari is singular and it makes a delicate base for some of the more unusual nigiri around, like a tiny bundle of Japanese chives tied with crispy nori and topped with bonito. Then look forward to

Contemporary, American · ★ Michelin

$$$$

A stylishly modern space hidden inside an unassuming strip mall, this hip concept's tasting menu is one for the books. Drinks and a snack kick things off in a well-appointed front bar and the staff is wonderfully engaging as they serve a host of delectable, hyper-local items. The eclectic cuisine travels beyond the borders of Italian tradition, offering up such creations as a single agnolotti tucked with braised oxtail, crispy onions and a Comté cheese espuma, or sunchoke gnocchi with Ibérico pluma and crispy sourdough breadcrumbs. A delicate, twirl of tagliatelle made from porcini powder is g

Anajak Thai

Thai, Contemporary

$$$

Now in its fifth decade of operation, this beloved family-owned fixture has never been more in demand. Much of its current acclaim owes to second-generation Chef Justin Pichetrungsi, whose cooking balances tradition with a contemporary, crowd-driven sensibility. This is amply demonstrated on freewheeling “Thai Taco Tuesdays,” a no-reservations event that draws lines around the block. For additional excitement, one weekend per month, a unique omakase experience remains one of the city’s most sought-after reservations. Whether sampling well-executed Thai classics or exploring occasional off-menu

Sushi Note

Japanese, Sushi

$$$$

Nota bene: Sushi Note is far from a postscript. Whether you're here for the supreme fish or distinctly focused wine selection, it hits all the marks. The sleek dining room is defined by soft fabrics, moody colors and provocative artwork, including framed letters and photos. Chef Kiminobu Saito showcases serious craftsmanship, ace textures and rare flavors in his seasonal plates, available in half-note or full-note omakase menus or à la carte. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every piece of nigiri and sashimi cut to order. Meaty and sweet scallop with truffle salt and citrus, perfect

ALTO

South American

$$$$

Experience the flavors of Argentina and Uruguay at ALTO, a live-fire restaurant in Studio City led by Juana Castellanos Lagemann and Esteban Klenzi. Both chefs have impressive fine dining resumes, and here they focus on the fire, delivering hearty, comforting dishes with an elevated, modern take. It's all easily shareable, so go ahead and order several for the table. Begin with breads like chipa, a cheesy yuca bread accompanied by tomato butter, or criollo, a buttery layered bread served with herb butter. Hand-cut braised beef and house-made dough stand out in the OG empanada. Proteins, like t

The Brothers Sushi

Japanese, Sushi

$$$$

Sushi options have certainly come a long way over the last few decades, as evidenced by this dynamic spot, boasting a sweet price point. Minimally accoutered with a dark wood counter, floral arrangements, and gray floor tiles, everything here feels refined and contemporary.The food, brought to you by veteran chef, Mark Okuda, follows suit. In addition to the omakase, the menu features such specials as a "JYO" chirashi bowl, dry-aged grilled fish collar, and Hokkaido snowcrabs. Served in a tall martini glass, halibut arrives with Japanese cucumber, micro shiso, and yuzu-spiked vinegar; tailed b
