thrillist.com – Niku X – 9 Exciting New Restaurant Openings in LA to Try This Weekend

Niku X

Downtown
LA has an established tradition of high-end Yakiniku, Japanese grilled-meat dinners, but newcomer Niku X looks to raise the bar a notch higher with its new spot on the second floor of the Wilshire Grand building downtown. They’ve brought Michelin-starred chef Shin Thompson on to run the kitchen, overseeing their extensive range of Wagyu beef and also the grill-focused tasting menu, served in a sweeping, modern, gigantic 9,000-square-foot space with an open kitchen. That tasting menu will also include sashimi, grilled seafood, and—as an optional supplement—Piedmontese or Umbrian truffle.

ONEUS, “Same Scent”

Yearning is an intricate feeling to untangle. It burns, but beneath it lies a sour sweetness that offers some relief. On “Same Scent,” ONEUS explore the vulnerability of missing a lover but conclude that, ultimately, there’s no other option than to move forward, and better days will come. At the apex, seductive guitar strings clear the way for the vocal rawness of members Seoho and Keonhee — two of the best singers in the fourth generation of K-pop — that is grounded with Xion’s crystalline delivery of “I can’t get you off my mind my, my, my, my mind / Off my mind, my, my, my mind.”
