Highlights
"Sure, you haven’t met in person and have only kissed through a smudged screen, but you both know it - you’re in love. Time to celebrate. While there are tons of great options for big nights out right now, you’re in the market for something personal. Go to Gozen. A meal at this high-end kaiseki spot in West Hollywood will certainly set you back (prix-fixe menus range from $80-260 per person), but if you’re good with that price point, Gozen completely delivers on its value. You’ll eat things like smoked duck with tapenade, sushi that was flown that day from Japan, and strips of Kobe beef prime chuck cooked tableside. The intimate space also only has a handful of tables to go around, making the entire experience feel like you’re dining in your own private teahouse even though you’re at a restaurant on La Cienega." - brant cox

"We’ve been big fans of Gozen Japanese Bistro since they opened earlier this year in West Hollywood, and are equally excited about the new Happy Hour that’s debuting this week. Running Tuesday through Saturday from 5-7pm, Gozen’s Happy Hour comes in the form of a personally-tailored $50 five-course prix-fixe menu. Choose from tuna or octopus salad for an appetizer, grilled angus beef or a fish of the day for an entree, plus rice, soup, a starter, and dessert." - brant cox

"Gozen Japanese Sake Bistro has reopened with a new menu, focusing on a kaiseki-style tasting menu and sake, while also offering to-go bento boxes. The restaurant is located in the former Aburiya Raku space and has had an on-and-off few months due to broader shutdowns." - Farley Elliott
