N/Naka sits in the Westside Village area of Los Angeles, offering a kaiseki-style tasting menu shaped by chefs Niki Nakayama and Carole Iida-Nakayama. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars and is Michelin-listed, with seating limited to the counter.
The menu draws on the chefs' Japanese heritage alongside a California upbringing, applying kaiseki's seasonal, course-by-course structure to local ingredients. Dishes move through raw preparations, cooked courses, and dessert, following the format typical of the style rather than a straight sushi omakase, though modern sushi elements appear on the menu as well.
Dinner is priced at $285 per person. Reservations are handled through Tock, and given the restaurant's Michelin recognition and counter-only capacity, securing a seat generally requires booking ahead of the service date. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., and closed Sunday through Tuesday.
N/Naka is located at 3455 Overland Ave in Los Angeles. Guests with questions about the reservation process, dietary accommodations, or the evening's format can contact the restaurant directly by phone or email before booking.
