I walked into Shiki a year ago and was greeted like I was family. The sushi chefs are so friendly and genuine. Since that day, I eat at Shiki 3-4 times per week..sometimes twice a day! The fish is so fresh and surprisingly affordable! The portions are generous, so you don't spend a fortune. I've gotten all my friends addicted to this place. Some of them even come out from Santa Monica to eat at Shiki! Johnny, Eric, and Jay are the best sushi chefs ever! This place is my favorite restaurant hands down! I have a difficult time eating at other sushi spots...nothing can compare to Shiki!

Just dined there last night, and learned that after 20 years the best shrimp place in the area will be closing. I can recall many late night drives to Killer Shrimp for the shrimp and pasta! Get there before the last day and have a bowl of the shrimp and pasta! The chocolate cake is also excellent.
Bye, Killer Shrimp - you will be missed!!
Pros: Near the beach
Cons: Parking can be a challenge

We had a great time at Pinot Bistro. The food was wonderful. My 10 year old nephew was with me and he tried snails for the first time. Surprisingly, he loved them! The experience was positively memorable. We were luck enough to meet the Sous Chef, Steven Mary. He has a wonderful personality, warm and knowledgable. He even sent a surprise dish to the table. He made the experience priceless.
Pros: Sous Chef came out to the table to talk to us
Cons: nothing I can think of

Micheline Guide was right about them. Asanebo is a great restaurant. In my mind, they are one of the few restaurants in LA that have class. They are traditional but not pretentious in the way Nozawa is (I'm talking about their attitude, not the decor.) Asanebo chefs use fresh sozai (materials) and yet the prices are not so high as, let's say, old Ginza Sushiko. In terms of innovativeness, they try just about enough to surprise us but won't go into the degree of banality. I like Matsuhisa too, but I think you need to think of their food as totally different category from Japanese cuisine. And nothing wrong with that. But when you are really craving for Japanese food like I do sometimes (because I'm Japanese,) I'd go to Asanebo.
Pros: Food
Cons: Some dishes are better than the other, but isn't that the case with any restaurant?

We just ate at Arts Deli over the weekend. A few friends asked us over. We all had something different, from breakfast to sandwiches to matzo balls. All was good and the servers have been there a long while.
