Chef's Studio Japan

In a charming lane off Main Street, alongside two art galleries, is Chef’s Studio Japan. ‘Food is Art’ states the menu. This theme extends to Chef Aki’s preparations and presentations that put a Los Angeles twist on traditional Japanese cuisine. Her award-winning Healing Garden Salad is served with fanned tuna on a slate slab, colourful organic greens in a fish bowl, and dressing in a shot glass. The food tastes as good as it looks. Ambient lighting, relaxed atmosphere and paintings by local artists (displayed and available for sale) contribute to the casual-chic dining experience.

Open from 4:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Main dishes are $8.50 to $19. Combination platters are $16.50 to $50 for a two-person feast. Wines are $20 to $34 by the bottle (8 choices), $6 by the glass.
