Morihiro
Japanese / Sushi / Omakase · Echo Park · Michelin 1-Star

Matsuhisa Beverly Hills
Japanese / Peruvian · Beverly Hills
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's 1987 original — the restaurant that invented the Japanese-Peruvian fusion that became the Nobu global empire. Black cod miso was introduced at this counter; so was the new-style ...
