Parking: Street
Take Out, Open Kitchen - Watch The Chef Laid Back Casual, Cozy, Upscale Bistro Moderately noisy

At Sushi Dokoro Ki Ra La you can order omakase (chef's choice -- minimum 24 hours notice) at a table or at the bar, but if you're going all out, it's really best done at the bar. There's not an ounce of haughtiness in the joint, not a drop of attitude. Instead of watching you make a fool of yourself, the chef will tell you which dishes should be eaten as is, which dipped in shoyu, which would benefit from a bit of wasabi. The food is gorgeous, and it's great fun watching the chef prepare it Spanish mackerel wrapped around finely julienned cucumbers and carrots; blue crab with avocado; ankimo (monkfish liver); akami maguro (from the lean part of the tuna); toro (fatty tuna belly); sweet shrimp come next served raw on textured squid, with a judicious smattering of prawn roe on top; halibut sashimi with a smoky, deeply flavored ponzu sauce; blue crab wrapped in clear seaweed; salmon roe with a quail egg on top; sea eel wrapped in avocado with burdock and many others.
