Kasih (CLOSED)

It might seem strange to stumble upon a modern-Indonesian restaurant in the heart of Little Tokyo, but Kasih fits right in: The dining room is open, spotlights natural materials like warm woods, and is fairly minimalist—save for the dangling lights and lanterns casting soft light over the tables. From there, we depart. The menu changes frequently, and is just as inspired by L.A.'s produce as Indonesia's classic curries, skewers of grilled meats and herb-sprinkled, fish-sauce–dressed salads. Want to try a little of everything? Order the sambal tasting, a spread of five dips and curries served with crackers.
