Guidebook for Hollywood
Food Scene
Our favorite sushi restaurant, always busy, and there is often a celebrity sighting to be had at this casual-upscale sushi restaurant. Although the atmosphere is very nice, the food is the real draw here. The salmon sushi is second-to-none, try the miso eggplant (nasu miso), ono sashimi, Hamapeno, etc. All of the sushi is excellent, but we also love the rib-eye entrée, which can be shared by two. Very consistently good food at Shin Taro. Not walking distance, take Uber/Lyft (corner of Franklin and Highland) $$$
