More information on Koi

If your goal is to spot Hollywood's A-list of celebrities, make a reservation at Koi, the current fave of L.A.'s glam scene: George Clooney, Jennifer Garner, the Osbournes, Madonna, Demi and Ashton, Jessica and Nick, Liv Tyler, J.Lo, Martin Lawrence -- they're all spotted here with regularity. Or just make a reservation because the food is so damn good. Either way, you won't be disappointed. Incorporating feng shui elements of trickling water, votive candles, open-air patios, and soft lighting, the minimalist earthen-hued interior has a calming ambience that is a welcome relief from the hectic Melrose scene just outside the ornately carved gates. Exec chef Stephane Chevet's brilliant fusions of Japanese and Californian cuisine accounts for the repeat clientele. Start with the refreshing cucumber sunomono tower flavored with sweet vinegar and edible flowers, followed by baked crab roll with edible rice paper (fantastic), the tuna tartare and avocado on crispy wontons, the yellowtail carpaccio delicately flavored with grapeseed oil, and the house specialty of black cod bronzed with miso that's warm-butter soft and exploding with sweet flavor. Tip: Request one of the horseshoe booths on the back patio amid Buddha statues and candlelight. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
