Totoraku
Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Though the sign outside says nothing more than Teriyaki House, teriyaki is the last thing you will find here, and we are confident that this is "one of the most unusual restaurants you will ever visit." The phone number is unlisted, and Kaz, the owner, won't give you a reservation without an introduction from an existing customer. There is only one thing on the menu: beef omakase (not Kobe, but the highest level of domestic prime), which includes various servings of raw beef, including carpaccio and tartare and an unusual carpaccio of liver, followed by an assortment of cuts that you grill over a hibachi. A committed wine-lover, Kaz has decorated the shelves of what is one of L.A.'s most unique BYOBs with empty bottles of some of the greatest wines ever made.
