What people say about n/naka
Those who are fortunate enough to get seats at N/Naka describe the meal as peaceful, personal, and highly elaborate. Consistently, however, availability is an issue, and the reservation process is notoriously hard to get. The high price reflects the fact that Naka is an expensive restaurant meant for indulgence, not frequent outings.
About n/naka
The Palms restaurant by chef Niki Nakayama is a concept based on modern kaiseki, which is a process that incorporates balance in temperature, texture, colors, and cooking technique. It is an experience that is clearly Japanese in its form but undeniably Californian in its ingredients.
The 13-course menu is an embodiment of the concept of modern kaiseki in Los Angeles, going through a very thought-out combination of textures, temperatures, and methods of cooking. Since everything changes depending on the season, it is impossible to say which fish and vegetables will be used, though the format will stay the same.
