Hinoki & the Bird

Intimate, great service

Very expensive, but it's justified by the quality.

I’ll start from the beginning… how much we wanted to eat here and how excited we were for our lunch. How cute the restaurant is when you arrive, how good it smelled, how warm the host was who greeted us. This restaurant was batting one thousand… until the food came. The food was plain terrible. Almost inedible. And expensive— $375 for five people, no alcohol. The sashimi was bland, and the miso salmon was served cold and fishy. Even the espresso was lukewarm, watery, and burnt. Anyway, we’re disappointed and will never be back.

Our dining experience at Hinoki & bird was delightful! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, every dish that we ordered were absolutely exquisite and the atmosphere was great too. We’d definitely plan to visit again on our next trip to LA.
