Restaurant

UKA

AsianLos Angeles$$$$

UKA is one of the best asian restaurants in Los Angeles for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Los Angeles.

UKA arrived in 2023 as something Los Angeles genuinely lacked: a kaiseki room operating with full seriousness — nine courses, a prix fixe structure, and a chef, Yoshitaka Mitsue, whose biography reads like a deliberate accumulation of credibility.
