n/naka@Palms Los Angeles ★★★

2 Michelin Stars Modern Kaiskei. Absolute Favorite. A progressive philosophic journey. Well-balanced meal from start to finish. They don't have the Michelin arrogance. They value holistic customer experience rather anything else. Niki Nakyama is very humble and friendly. Abalone Pasta is her signature dish. Devin is an exceptional sommelier and always provides us with beyond outstanding service. Great team service. 3.5 hours dinner. Course $310 per person. Corkage fee $85. Limited free street parking or valet. Reservations on Tock and are very hard to book.
