I'm a LA local, so I tend to be very spoiled when it comes to Japanese restaurants - we've got loads of them right here in the LA Basin. Was taken on a no-expense spared dinner to Shiki, conveniently located right in the middle of Beverly Hills shopping area. What followed was unbelievably great omakase in a very elegant setting. We had the Momiji and it was worth it. Accompanied by a great bottle of Ika na Onna sake, we were served things like tiny snapper roulades with black truffle, skate wing, incredible maguro - the dishes kept coming but we never felt overstuffed. Beautiful desserts. Perfection for those who worship classical Japanese cuisine with the most sublime quality of fish. The chef is a Matsuhisa alum and he has created a culinary paradise.
