VEEV Spirits

This trendy , upscale Japanese restaurant in the heart of the Sunset Strip is a great place to people watch and enjoy a cocktail . May we suggest a VEEV La Geisha?

Patio is fantastic for a chill evening and great people watching . Staff is courteous and incredibly friendly . Food is meant to be shared tapas style . Smaller portions so order a few rolls.

Jennifer Lai

The manager, Josh Kougl is awesome. Such a nice guy who is somehow able to keep up a conversation with you, while simultaneously observing the entire room like a hawk! Don't ever leave Katana, dude!

Dallas Lehman

Everything is good... And fast. But people in LA use heat lamps when it gets below 80!

Nikki Foster

In all fairness , my dietary needs don't fit the menu but if I ate more I'm sure this would be a great place to dine

Robbie Amodei

Amazing food but do not ask for an espresso !!! They brought me a big cup which looked like a soup.....being a fussy Italian I told the waitress that this was too big and she poured it into a small cup

Irene Merring

This place if amazing. Amazing food and amazing drinks! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in L.A!!!

JP Gil

Ridiculously over-the-top cheesy Hollywood experience. Eat very good fusion Sushi while doing some fun people watching .

Manu

Bacon wrapped shirimp are really amazing. Ask for outside table

Marcel Travers

One of my go to spots. Ambiance is nice and the food is good.

Lisa Bartels Amico

Sashimi was beyond super fresh; friendly service . We thought it was priced right for Strip standards and our food was delicious. 1/2 price sake on Mondays is a perk!

BEST FOOD EVER. Definitely try the black cod !!!!

Definitely pricey but it's a typical Hollywood place to be seen. Decent food & drinks but it's more for the atmosphere and crowd.

Greatest Restaurant in LA, sushi rolls were great.

Don't listen to bitter people who obviously are not used to having Robata and a great meal. Don't be a hater. Take a fusion on the Rocks as well .

Try the apsaragus wrapped in Filet appetizer . It will make your mouth drool!

Amazing location, scene, and outdoor heated patio . Food was decent, but a bit overpriced.
