Norikaya

554 S Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90020

Set to open the second week of July, Norikaya will be upping the ante when it comes to handrolls and small Japanese plates.

Located in Koreatown, Norikaya is the latest project from chef Akira Back and restaurateur Robert Kim.

The space is expected to have minimalistic decor and design that pays homage to Japanese culture, along with a 20-person bar where patrons can dine and drink while watching the chefs create warm handrolls.
