4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: February 16 | Eater LA

"In Eagle Rock, I found that Ikigai scratches a special itch for sushi-loving Angelenos: while it’s not quite refined enough to join the upper echelons of LA’s sushi elite, it boasts better quality than standard neighborhood spots churning out the usual spicy tuna rolls. I note the omakase options ranging from $50 to $75 that are served at both lunch and dinner; lunch visitors can choose from several combo meals that are served with rice, miso, soup, and vegetable tempura or enjoy a set of five nigiri and a handroll starting at $23. For those who just want to drink sake and nibble on fried chicken and dumplings for dinner, a slate of zensai (small dishes) is available too—swing into this Northeast LA newcomer to get a sense of the place." - Eater Staff
