Iki Nori

Located on the ground floor of a Hollywood office building, this 12-seat hand roll bar from the team behind Koreatown’s Iki Ramen serves a delicious, high-quality array of temaki, nigiri and sashimi that expands and improves upon the widely imitated hand roll bar menu first popularized by Kazunori. For a reasonable splurge, look to Iki Nori’s $44 special hand roll set. Though not completely filling (you’ll likely still want to order another hand roll à la carte or some nigiri), the set includes toro caviar, salmon truffle, scallop uni and a thin, lightly seared slice of A5 Wagyu topped with yuzu kosho and a brush of sweet shoyu. Sake and shochu by the glass, plus a large bottle selection in the cooler, make it easy to linger awhile, but if you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a pre-show dinner, Iki Nori has your back—and then some more.
