Wakasan@West LA (closed) ★★

8-Course Omakase for $45. Went there for Valentine's Day dinner. Quality is just ok (seems like they are pre-made), but $45 is quite a deal. You get to cook your own Sukiyaki in a pot, which is pretty fun. RSVP required for Omakase.

Tangier Korean BBQ@Los Feliz

Poor Management. Came w/ Living Social coupon. Kalbi tasted the best, Sangari being second. Don't bother to get the Ribeye (premium item). Too chewy. Meat quality needs improvement (esp. for a KBBQ restaurant). Service was good, but will never come back again.
