Taking purity and simplicity as its manifesto, Q provides an unsurpassed omakase dining experience. Q features Chef Hiroyuki Naruke’s expression of Edomae cuisine, a historical preparation dating to the Edo-period of Japan that was the first to combine raw sashimi-style fish with vinegar-seasoned rice. Q offers a refined and intimate opportunity for guests to savor and celebrate uncompromised Tokyo-style sushi here in Los Angeles.
Our 26-seat dining room matches the care, creativity, and craft of Chef Hiro’s cuisine, melding Japanese tradition and striking modernity. Lighting sets the scene, featuring hundreds of glowing orbs that converge above the sushi bar and direct focus to Chef Hiro and his culinary artworks. From the undulating ceiling to the bar itself, the surrounding space reflects the deep Japanese appreciation for wood in its relaxing natural form. Furnishings include contemporary interpretations of Japanese Zaisu chairs, and tables that feature centuries-old joinery techniques. An installation of backlit vintage Japanese abacuses rises from behind the bar, with commissioned artwork and artifacts that juxtapose historical and contemporary elements of Japanese culture. Q’s subtle yet elegant design provides the perfect aesthetic complement to Chef Hiro’s menus.
