I'm on top of the world! Takami elevates happy hour -- DTLA oh yeah...

Ok, I'm may have embellished slightly--Takami Sushi's outdoor lounge is more of a penthouse view--breathtaking nonetheless! As you exit the 21st floor into the restaurant, be prepared to fall in love with the spectacular panorama. It has (on a smaller scale) the vibe of a New York rooftop bar nestled amidst two of the tallest skyscrapers in Los Angeles. Downtown's got it goin' on!

Now, get ready to fall in love with everything else! Takami exceeded my expectations in all areas,(and for those who know me well--that's no easy feat!) Seriously, it has it all--ambiance, cuisine, libations, great service, and stunning happy hour prices--$4? 7 days a week? WTFun--I am so hooked!

Calamari Arare, coated in Japanese Rice Crackers and served with a Curry Aioli
Popcorn Shrimp with Wasabi Sauce.



The calamari and shrimp were perfectly cooked--so tender and deliciously seasoned. I'm most definitely addicted!--I started craving them immediately after I popped the last one in my mouth!
