Wa Sushi & Bistro

Wa Sushi & Bistro Review

Founded by three alums from trendsetting Matsuhisa, Wa offers a more personalized experience with comparable high-quality sushi and intriguing Japanese cooking. Particularly enticing are dishes enhanced with French-inspired sauces. For instance, Chilean sea bass is layered with foie gras and bathed in a port reduction, while Santa Barbara prawns crowned with uni are dosed with a perfect beurre blanc prepared on a rickety range behind the sushi bar. Although casual, Wa's second-story hillside location allows for seductive city views from a small handful of tables dressed up with linen and candles.
