I’ve been trying to get into n/naka on every visit I’ve made to LA for the last 10 years. So it was gratifying to finally be able to snag a reservation this time.
The restaurant did not disappoint. It is clearly one of the best in Los Angeles. Everything from the vibe to the quality of the food to the friendliness of the servers was exceptional.
With a meal this wonderful, it’s difficult to name a favorite course, but I would have to say that the pasta dish surprisingly was right up there with the very best that I’ve had.
Of course, the fish quality, the sushi, the sashimi were all also wonderful.
The other thing that sticks in my memory was the quality of all of the soups from the first little taste during the amuse-bouche to the final course. Each one brought a complexity that you rarely find in a supposedly simple bowl of soup.
If you can get into n/naka, I highly recommend it.
