Aburiya Toranoko is a funky sushi bar Downtown with a hip, casual atmosphere. It's creators are Michael Cardinas of IDG restaurant group and co-owner/head chef Hisa; both, at one point worked for Nobuyuki Matsuhisa at his namesake "Matsuhisa" in Beverly Hills. In recent years Michael has transitioned into developing restaurants with a more casual and youthful appeal, opening Lazy Ox (a gastro-pub of sorts) and Fat Spoon (a japanese curry house); all located near Downtown's Little Tokyo neighborhood.
On this evening, Chef Hisa-San was not in but we were in experienced hands with chef Senji-San.
