Enjoy the serene beauty of Little Tokyo's James Irvine Japanese Garden—complete with the sound of running water—and enjoy a $175 "L.A. Nikkei" tasting menu inspired by head chef Chris Ono's Michelin training and experiences as a fourth generation Japanese American. Available Wednesday to Friday evenings, Hansei offers guests the opportunity to enjoy outdoor appetizers and drinks in the tranquil oasis before dinner at the indoor chef's counter. The evening then finishes with dessert and cups of tea in the garden's open-air lounge. Rare, small batch sake and wines by Japanese American vintners are available alongside a seasonal menu that includes playful fine dining interpretations of California rolls and beef teriyaki.
