Additional Information
Tokyo Bites ???? Chef David Schlosser’s Shibumi is an unconventional choice serving set menus that are more izakaya and... kaiseiki than seafood-centric omakase most Japanophiles may be familiar I myself was intrigued by the menu’s addition of‘Chinmi’ translated as rare tastes or small intensely flavored delicacies often paired with sake One of my favorite chinmiis Bonito shuto from Hakone but I was excited to see what would be featured here The set menu or Emperor’s Set started withfour chimni served with a small glass of sake: ikura, uni shrimp, miso ginseng, and persimmon The chinmi add-on had four moreas well as another pouring of sake : aged scallop, seasoned mushroom, fermented tofu, and finally bottarga or karasumi (saltedroe) Appetite stimulated and taste buds awakened, the next five courses continued the feast and included Hokkaido snow crab,seared saba, sashimi Bonito, tempura, and Wagyu Each portion size is modest but by the time the rich and unique dessertsarrive, I was completely satiated For many, the style, nature and especially the price point will make this meal a secondarychoice but for the right clientele it’s absolutely sublime and I for one appreciated and savored Chef Schlosser’s vision andexecution ???? Chinmi $40 - rare delicacies, 4 types: aged scallop, seasoned mushroom, fermented tofu, and bottarga or karasumi(salted roe) / Emperor’s Meal $225 per person ~ hassun: fresh ginseng miso, 1 year aged smoked persimmon “hoshigaki,”cured salmon eggs “sujiko” first of the season, Santa Barbara spot prawn served with uni, served with sake / pike mackerelbo-zushi, wrapped in boterra konbu / silky egg with “dancing” maitake mushrooms / tempura - shrimp cake “satsuma age” /sashimi - Japanese bonito “modori katsuo” and 4 year aged “shoyu koji” / grilled sanuki olive wagyu fresh wasabi / greenfig, white bean manju rolled with kinako - roasted soybean powder / koji ice cream / roasted green tea ????Shibumi (LosAngeles, CA) Read more
I wanted the most was the marijuana tempura, it wasn’t on the menu, after I asked, thankfully they made me one anyways.
The staff were nice and friendly. Service was not great, I expected more. Once they attempted to pick up my bowl when I wasn't... finish. For a Michelin star restaurant, I thought they'd be trained better. We also found a small piece of napkin in our drink. The bartender even dropped a bottle of wine or something but the shattering of the glass was enough to scare me. The orientationand presentation of the plates were not consistent. It also seemed like they just doing whatever. The chefs are not Japanese andhonestly having seated at the counter and seeing their work, I was not impressed. Finally, the food was just okay. Nothing lefta memorial experience to me. If you like pickles, you might have a chance here. Read more
Every time, a pleasant surprise. Superb care in every dish, but not gimmicky. ... A year later, as good or better. Never... fails! No small thing: the rice is superb. As good as Tokyo. Read more

Unfortunately I do not like the food. I was really looking forward to it. If you're looking for Japanese food, please don't come... here. I do not consider it is Japanese food. It's more like Asian fusion dishes. Also, maybe they want customers to pair withalcohol, lots the food are very salty. Even the miso soup. Way too salty. We had set c and it is sadly so mediocre. Verydisappointed. It is not like hard to swallow bad but everything is only okay or so so. Nothing surprise or good. Thecombination and balance just off. If I need to rate it, only got C or D grade. Please choose another restaurant. Please saveyour money. Definitely not worth it. This place is a overrated. We spent $500+. Not acceptable with this price. Definitelyoverpriced. Read more
