Best Fusion Restaurants in Film Row

My husband and I are still shocked at the incredible food, ambience and service at such an incredible value. I truly cannot speak highly enough of this place. Dress Think upscale trendy. No need to wear something stuffy like a suit and tie, but absolutely come dressed in your best as you will want to fit in with the incredible decor. That being said, we saw t-shirts and floor-length gowns within a table of each other. Ambiance Absolutely iconic. To quote my friend who saw my post of the interior, "What in the aquatic maximalist extravagant gorgeousness is this?" And he's completely correct. Maximalism at its finest, giving the vibe of the most luxurious lounge/dinning room ever without feeling stuffy. Service From the second we stepped in, we were treated like royalty. We spoke with one of the owners of the restaurant who gave us all of his recommendations and some of the history of the restaurant (read about it in the menu), then were served by the lovely Kyndal. She was the perfect host for our evening... educated on the menu, kind, skilled, etc., etc. She enhanced our experience. Food We had (and recommend) the lobster tacos, the crispy rice tuna, the oxtail and bone marrow fried rice and the miso bronzed black cod. Absolutely exceptional. My husband and I had heard JK by Chef King compared to Nobu, and after having eaten there recently, we were intrigued. Completely correct. The way JK by Chef King treats their food can only be compared to our experience at Nobu. The flavors are unlike anything I've had before, and everything was cooked to perfection. My husband and I were in shock every time we took a bite. All of this plus 4 drinks (also exceptionally made, especially their take on an old fashioned), came out to under $200. We cannot wait to come back with friends. Highly, highly recommend!

It was a lovely and ambient environment for our anniversary dinner.

Wow. This was a great experience. The service was warm and attentive. The food was full of depth and flavor, as well as being familiar and yet unexpected. I loved the interplay of Asian elements into traditional Southern/Oklahoman cuisine, such as with the main course of Chicken Fried Steak.

Holy moly this place is da bomb. If you haven’t gone yet… don’t. I want it to myself. But if you do go, get the bibimbap and eat it with the giant wooden spoon. Trust me.

Our guest recommended Cafe 501 for brunch on Sunday and what a delightful experience it was! The service was great and the food was excellent! We did not know about this gem and we are so glad that we do now. Cafe 501 is very highly recommended and you won't be disappointed!
