I’m going to backtrack a little and talk about a Japanese meal I had in June at a new sushi place in LKF. Hidden inside a shady-looking newly renovated building across from California Fitness is Sushi Kuu.
We were a party of ten plus diners sitting at the sushi bar and someone in the group knew the owner, the manager, or the chef or all three. Point being, I think we got better food and service because of this connection (or I like to think it anyway).
Though it was over a month ago, I do recall enjoying my omakase meal at Kuu. Everything was fresh, cleanly presented, and the waiters were kept busy changing plates and filling our sake cups.
Just looking at these pictures makes me want to go back for another meal. I have to say it was a lot of food. Just when I thought it was the last of the dishes, out came the house special roll which had *everything* on it (below picture). Being situated at the end of the table, I couldn’t see much of the sushi-making action behind the bar or hear the chatter at the opposite end.
From what I did gather, the chef is from a certain Japanese restaurant in a certain Japanese hotel. (Revision: A few nights ago, through someone-in-the-know, I confirmed that the chef is part owner of Kuu.)
