Iki Nori

The 18 Best Restaurants In Hollywood - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"For anyone who’s ever been stranded in Hollywood for an hour, this casual sushi bar from the Iki Ramen people is a prayer answered. This sleek spot on the ground floor of an office building is walk-in-only, sells filling handroll sets for under $30, and boasts a marble bar pouring cocktails, natural wine, and craft sake. It’s a no-brainer for chill lunches, but we love it even more at night when the energy ramps up. You’ll find dates with Pantages tickets splurging on the $88 omakase, while friends walking to Hotel Cafe afterward crush negronis and chat up the young chefs packing spicy yellowtail handrolls. If you’re in search of the neighborhood’s easiest—and most centrally located—pregame spot, Iki Nori is it." - brant cox
