Where Los Angeles MagazineJuly 18, 2011Summer Japanese Beer Garden on the patio offers pitchers of Kirin, Asahi Dry and craft beers like Ginga Kogen; in addition to cocktails like Sake Sangria, sake flights; weekdays 5-close.
Los Angeles TimesJuly 14, 2010Head straight to the crudo menu. Though you can order sashimi from the sushi bar, at Chaya, crudo is part of the main menu and features raw seafood with more than the traditional Japanese garnishes. Read more
JohnJuly 27, 2010Sit down at the Sushi bar with Sam. That is all you need to know. Best sushi in LA. Most talented sushi chef in LA. Period. And yes, I realize how substantial of a statement that is.
Dan ThomasMay 1, 2012Bento box is a great lunch with a nice variety - Good portions too. Try it with a cup of soup to start! - Perfect!
Eve ParadoxDecember 16, 20141st date elegant atmosphere. Sometimes the flavors get muddled. Pass the pumpkin gnocchi.
Very reasonable for downtown LA. Great service and great food in a muted and clean atmosphere

Lovee sitting outside in their heated patio! Great cocktails and don't miss out on their rib-eye.
Monday night - Japanese Beer Garden + Yakitori 4 a whopping $2 bux per item - affordable + delish... A MUST DO!
Try the Bento Box at lunch - a great sampling of 4 dishes.
Sebastian MontoyaFebruary 28, 2011Apps are amazing , great sushi..it's really fresh tasting, HAPPY HOUR a must. *****
- Try the Bento's 2 Go, only 12 bux! A taste of everything good!
Ted KimFebruary 10, 2010Warm milk chocolate croissant bread pudding (with caramel ice cream) = perfection!
Christine K.October 11, 2012This place is a disappointment, especially for the prices. If you're going to serve bland seafood, it better be the freshest available and it's just not.
PhilipMay 21, 2014Beware! Parking attendants downstairs are very shady & PURPOSELY MISCHARGE & STEAL your money. They wanted to charge $28 then changed to $21, & then $5. Complete RIP OFF & SCAM ARTISTS here!
Nan PalmeroNovember 6, 2011Move your hand closer to the faucet to get the water to turn on in the restroom.
