Created with the image of a mirage in the desert in mind, Sabakurou has a reputation for creative Japanese cuisine with a hint of Cali flavor.

The top picks are the tomato bouillabaisse seafood nabe and the shrimp toast: the latter’s Jenga-style interweaving of crispy fried bread and plump shrimp is also popular at Sabakurou’s award-winning Hollywood branch.
