About

N/naka stands apart from other Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles for its unwavering commitment to a prix-fixe menu that explores traditional cooking techniques in an upscale, romantic setting. This LGBTQ-owned, women-led, and BIPOC-owned establishment has earned a Michelin rating and a stellar 4.7/5 from over 1000 Yelp reviews.

The 13-course menu changes with the seasons, and reservations are notoriously hard to secure. You'll usually dine at a counter overlooking the kitchen, where you can watch Chef Niki Nakayama and her team work. It's intimate. You'll want to book well ahead.
