Everyone loves a nice piece of meat. Especially when it’s hot, juicy and deliciously tender. Some of the best meat in town can be found at BOA Steakhouse, a premium steak restaurant with locations in West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Las Vegas. The West Hollywood location is conveniently located in the Grafton Hotel on Sunset and plays host to a mix of travelers and locals. The décor is cool and the service is top notch. Though the menu at BOA is “steak-centric”, it also includes a smorgasbord of seafood, clever appetizers and tasty salads such as the tableside Caeser which is created fresh at your table. BOA also offers a number of delicious signature sauces to compliment either surf or turf. There are an abundance of eclectic choices of appetizers on the menu including Kobe Beef Corndogs, Smoked Salmon & Caviar and the divine premium Japanese Wagyu beef. The Wagyu is saturated with flavor and just melts in your mouth and it is nicely complimented with Japanese XO sauce and Okinawa sea salt to dip. A few good steak choices include the Kobe beef rib-eye, 40 day dry aged New York strip steak and Bone In Kansas filet mignon.
Savour every mouthful and dig into that big hunk of meat.
Boa Steakhouse has a new location!

The love affair that Los Angeles has with Japanese cuisine shows no sign of slowing. As a result, the best sushi restaurants are increasingly popular for both quick bites to eat or for more glamorous nights out. Sushi Roku offers a mixture of both. The crowd and scene reminded me of a recurring episode of “The Hills” with the beautiful people complimenting the beautiful food & décor without the “drama” of the MTV scripted reality show. Interesting to note, during my last visit to the West Hollywood location I spotted Kate Bosworth eating on the patio and Donald Faison dining inside. The atmosphere here is warm and upbeat, from the moment you enter you’re greeted by the Sushi masters with a loud “Irashaimase!” which means “Welcome!” in Japanese. The waitstaff at Sushi Roku are friendly and the décor is sumptuous, this seems to be true for every Sushi Roku location that I’ve been to (Including Las Vegas and Santa Monica).
During my last visit to Sushi Roku, I started my evening with three Saki flights and a beer. The beer, Koshihikari Echigo a Japanese import was full bodied yet had a touch of sweetness to it. Of the three sake flights, the one that stood out was the the Junmai Shu which complimented the rich appetizers very well. Sushi Roku serves a traditional menu of teppanyakki, sushi, sashimi and sushi themed plates such as the Hanabi Spicy Tuna on a Crispy Rice Cake. One of the weekly specials was an Italian inspired appetizer that featured heirloom tomatoes and balsamic reduction with Kobe beef carpaccio. This appetizer was beyond delicious and I love the fact that the chefs at Sushi Roku are able to experiment and create plates that transcend the boundaries of traditional Sushi. The Baked Cod, Miso Eggplant and Popcorn Rock Shrimp are all menu regulars and not to be missed. Make sure to end your meal with a rich dessert. The chocolate cake soufflé with vanilla ice cream is the perfect ending to a fabulous dinner at Sushi Roku.
