Kabooki Sushi
Young and ambitious Chef Henry Moso has garnered accolades and a James Beard nomination for his spectacular contemporary sushi hidden in a strip mall near Universal. In an industrial setting of metal fittings and filament bulbs (be warned—it’s loud with conversation and not suited to kids who aren’t mature), the culinary team, professionals each and every one, moves like clockwork to slice, fold, drape, torch, and sprinkle the correct elements at precise times to craft elevated, umami heaven for a social, solvent crowd. Sit at the sushi bar for the best show, and don’t neglect dishes like the pillowy house-made udon, either. To impress a date or just your palate, put yourself in his hands with the Chef’s Sushi Tasting (10 courses plus soup; $150) or the lavish omakase (10–15 courses; $300), both of which require booking several days ahead.
