Japanese fusion Located in the popular Sawtelle Plaza, they serve things like japanese curry and spaghetti here, as well as other interesting dishes, a lot of which are hit or miss. Our favorite here is the Jidori Chicken ("salty" version is my preference). they are open later than some of the other restaurants in this area, which is why we sometimes end up here.

Japanese western – Interesting mix of Japanese food with an American twist. Common in Japan, this is a good place to experience it stateside. Spaghetti with uni (sea urchin) is good - but this is no ordinary pasta dish - uni is definitely an acquired taste. Curries are decent as are the other rice dishes. A little expensive for what you get, but worth a try at least once.

Slight twist on traditional Japanese food – They use traditional Japanese food base and put a fusion twist on it. The tuna tartare noodles are very good as is the seafood curry. The curry was a bit sweet, slightly different from traditional Japanese curry, but still good. Also try the miso cod, which is standard, but pretty good for the price.

Beware of the bonito flakes – There's no editorial review of the restaurant, so for those of you intending to drop by, expect Italian-fusion. Lots of Japanese pastas and excellent fish dishes. But beware of the bonito flakes...this is dried fish shavings, so thin that they are translucent and light. When placed atop entrees (and they accompany most pastas here), the flakes MOVE. They WIGGLE. It's like a mass of pink worms. Don't be alarmed. Though it looks funny, they taste perfectly fine.
