Exclusive Japanese beef Omakase, BYOB with chef's curated menu
"A discreet Japanese steakhouse on Pico in Los Angeles that appears unassuming from the outside but operates as an intimate, almost one-man Japanese steak-grill experience; entry typically requires a direct contact with the chef (Chef Kaz), and visits can result in exceptionally memorable meals—one guest called it among the best food experiences she’s had." - Martha Daniel
"This tiny Japanese restaurant behind a nondescript storefront along Pico is frankly more of a myth than anything else, but if you’re able to somehow get in (you need to be invited by the chef himself or come with a friend who did), you’ll embark on a pretty ridiculous meal. It’s BYOB, but not in the rowdy kind of way. In the way that you need to show up with a really good bottle of wine to impress the chef, so he’ll be inclined to invite you back again. The meat-heavy menu is decided entirely by what the chef feels like cooking that night and runs about $300 per person." - Brant Cox
"Totoraku is a special beef restaurant in Los Angeles that is difficult to get into unless you know the chef. Thanks to a random encounter with a stranger at a bar, Maria Sharapova now has a reservation there and is prepared to eat lots of beef." - Chris Crowley
