The service here is phenomenal and is truly one of those things to experience at least once in your life. I was fortunate to have dined here at least twice. Don't let those portions fool you--you'll need space for each dish. I appreciate
Kaiseki style dining experience with fresh, high quality
Kaiseki style dining experience with fresh, high quality ingredients sourced mostly across Japan and California. Probably one of the more famous LA fine dining destinations for almost fifteen years now. The service from the greeter to the servers

We've been here three times.
It's definitely tough to book, but not impossible--especially if you have more people joining. Last time we came was after their remodel, and they mentioned they now have fewer tables, which means fewer available time slots. One time I tried the

I wish I could give n/naka 10 stars because 5 really doesn't seem to be enough! Chef Nikki's ability to consistently bring new flavors into a creative and absolutely delicious menu each time is beyond words. Service is impeccable. We have
Must try!
One of the best meals I have ever had. Chef Nakayama has definitely proven that she is more than worthy of her Michelin star status. The chefโs meal was 13 courses that were carefully prepared and served in a specific order so that each dish could
I recently went back to N/Naka for my second time.
The restaurant had been recently remodeled and looked elegant and a beautiful nod to Japanese culture. From the moment you arrive and are greeted outside the restaurant to getting your car at the end of the night, the service is amazing. The staff is

Most amazing service and food execution.
Server Jeremy was on point and explained the dishes thoroughly. Although a pricey meal, it was worth the overall experience. Ms. Naka even came out and greeted us at the end of the meal. Most definitely met the hype and our expectations!
Very beautiful presentation.
Food tasted great. Highly recommend trying the chef's pairing of alcohol too.

Worthy of two stars and while I have no complaints I would'nt say my mind was blown. This is my second fancy kaiseki. I had a 3 Michelin star one in Tokyo and my feeling was kind of the same. It was good but I didn't feel it was as amazing as other m
No, sorry.
This is a meme restaurant. Nobody with any self-respect would eat here. Save your money and what's left of your dignity and go somewhere else. I came here only because my company paid for our meal and the entire experience was curated solely to be &q
Expected much more for the price.
It was plenty of food. Not leaving hungry like some other places with tasting menus.
Came here for my girlfriend's birthday.
Above and beyond experience. The food, ambiance, service was one of the best we've ever had. Thank you to Naomi for the incredible second to none service. Chan's service and enthusiasm was also very much appreciated. We will be back again!

It was incredible. The flavours with the soy and toppings were perfect. Delicious and quality is exceptional.
This place was extremely busy but they handled it very well.
The food is very exotic and well put together. I'm glad I tried this place and I will not only be back, but I will also recommend this to all my girlfriends.
Oookkkay.

We saw N/Naka on chefs table season 1 and was intrigued. The 6 of us not only thought that the food was epic and up to the 2 Michelin stars but the waiter was amazing! Itโs a very small space and it felt like he was there just for us. And the uniqu

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCEYou pay a pretty penny but I think it's worth it. I really don't know what else to say. The price matched the experience. Highly highly recommend if you have the opportunity to do so.
Gourmet food.

This intimate Japanese restaurant offers a multi-course kaiseki tasting menu that showcases the freshest seasonal ingredients. Each dish is a work of art, and the service is warm and attentive.
We are now February 2023.
FIFTEEN months since our client was given a gift card for dinner for two. Still unable to use since the restaurant ENSURES that it does not have to honor these, by making it nearly impossible to reserve a table. Disrespectful to clients and shows t

Connect with users posting reservations for n/naka Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with n/naka Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to n/naka Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the n/naka Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at n/naka Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at n/naka Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
