Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Glendale

We went to Wabi Nori last Friday night with a large group of friends. We had a reservation, but if we’d been any later, we might’ve missed out on a table because it was quite packed. The décor, soft lighting, and gentle Japanese music really enchanted us. We started with Chicken Gyoza and Edamame; the gyoza filling was super tasty. Then we tried the Volcano Roll and Seared Salmon Roll from the menu—I’ve gotta say, the freshness of the fish really stood out. Service was pretty fast, though there were some minor delays when it got really busy. Still, the friendly staff made up for it. Prices are normal for New York, not cheap but not outrageous either. We had a wonderful evening

Aska delivers an extraordinary culinary journey in a beautifully restored 1860s Williamsburg warehouse. Chef Fredrik Berselius masterfully blends Scandinavian traditions with local Northeast ingredients in a refined 12-14 course tasting menu. The intimate setting of just 10 tables creates the perfect ambiance, with impeccable yet approachable service. Each dish showcases subtle, delicate flavors that reflect both technical excellence and creative innovation. While portions are modest, the expertly crafted dishes and wine pairings create an unforgettable fine dining experience worthy of its two Michelin stars.

Love our meal at strange delight. The room is surprisingly beautiful. The cocktails were very well-made. And the dishes we tried were wonderful. Prices are definitely high, the gin ramos fizz is $10 more than when it was reviewed in August, but I would return. The food, drinks and ambulance were wonderful.

Outstanding every time! Intimate setting with great chefs and amazing food. There are a few frequent (delicious) plates but always new items each time I've gone. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food, kind professional service, lovely ambiance.
