Sushi Enya - Little Tokyo
$$$$•Sushi•4.9(170)Under new management; we are no longer taking any of regular dinning nor Omakase reservations.
Sushi Enya is a Japanese sushi restaurant that first opened in the heart of Little Tokyo in Downtown, LA. After five years of perseverance and experimentation in Downtown, LA, we opened our second location in beautiful Old Town Pasadena.
Our third location, which opened in 2018, is located in the beach city of Marina Del Rey.
Our owner Chef Kimiyasu Enya trained for over 10 years in Japan to perfect his craft.
It is our goal to ensure that quality remains consistent and every experience is enjoyable for all guests.Bacari Adams

We are the original restaurant of Kronfli Brothers, a family-owned, growing group of restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Alongside our delicious tapas, we offer a rotating curation of small-production wines and eclectic beers, unique craft cocktails & mocktails, and we are also known for our one-of-a-kind 90-minute open bar special. + $5 margaritas all night long every Monday-Wednesday!
Our team provides warm hospitality in our comfortable, intimate dining room marked with vintage art & light fixtures. You will feel like home when dining at Bacari W. Adams.
We welcome but do not require reservations — we love to accommodate walk-ins and large parties, even on busy nights. Bacari W. Adams is the go-to spot for our neighbors, and we look forward to hosting you soon!

$$$$•Italian•4.7(9,247)A multi-regional Italian restaurant in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles.
Baar Baar - LA
$$$$•Indian•4.8(581)Baar Baar means "again and again" in Hindi. This is modern Indian food in the heart of Downtown LA, a few minutes from Crypto.com Arena and the Financial District, from Michelin-starred chef Sujan Sarkar. The cooking honors regional Indian tradition and then does something new with it, built on fresh California produce and plates made for sharing.
The room matches the food. Vibrant murals, plush velvet seating, chandeliers overhead, and a warm golden light that makes an ordinary weeknight feel like an occasion. Come for the butter chicken that's silky enough to cut with a fork, the Kashmiri duck tacos, or the cocktails, each one named for an iconic Bollywood film and built like its own small performance.
Date night, a long table of friends, or a Sunday brunch that stretches into the afternoon. Baar Baar is made to be a place you come back to, again and again.VACA DTLA
$$$$•Spanish•4.6(102)VACA brings Barcelona, Madrid, Andalucía, Sevilla, and the Basque Country to the heart of Los Angeles. The menu ranges from traditional tapas to modern interpretations of classic dishes, respecting both genuine Spanish cooking and Top Chef alum Amar Santana's nature to re-imagine food cultures. With a Spanish steakhouse vibe, and a beverage program that combines Spanish drinking culture with modern American cocktailing, VACA delivers an authentic Spanish restaurant experience to the center of Los Angeles.
Opening for Lunch starting January 13, 2026!

Discover Los Angeles
Think Los Angeles is a one-industry town? Think again. From the micro-Seoul of Koreatown to unexpected fusion cuisines (take Chinese-Mexican, for one) and strip malls that house destination restaurants, the city’s restaurant scene is notably experimental and diverse. Ask locals where to find the best taco truck (or lonchero) in the city, and you’ve struck a match. These mobile microenterprises are a part of the city's lifeblood. With L.A.’s own Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic, Jonathan Gold, describing the city as “less of a melting pot—more of a glittering mosaic,” we’re seeing L.A.’s vast palate show up on the plate.
