In Short
Katsuya Uechi's more famous, upscale Brentwood and Valley spots now have a charming WeHo cousin offering classic Japanese pub grub and sushi. A whimsical Japanese aesthetic informs the minimalist white room with touches of 1930s Tokyo nostalgia--vintage toys, posters, a Coke cooler, jazz--alongside glossy wooden tables and a bustling sushi bar. Japanese professionals join a lively neighborhood crowd for specials like spicy tuna on crispy rice, Kobe beef burgers, and small rustic dishes of spicy lotus root, kabocha pumpkin, and tofu agedashi.
