Ōwa is a return home for Sushi and Japanese cuisine on Abbot Kinney. The culinary program showcases a modern take on sushi favorites and other Japanese classics using from-scratch recipes and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The spirit center of Ōwa is an artful balance of light, floral Japanese Gins and bold Japanese whiskeys. With appearances of shōchū, yuzu, an extensive sake selection, and Japanese beer heroes, Ōwa’s beverage offerings would not be complete without several tequila and mezcal tributes that pay homage to the Mexican roots of Los Angeles. Between superb cuisine, cocktails, heart-centered experiences and the impassioned experts behind it all, Ōwa keeps the heart of restaurant culture beating in Los Angeles, starting in the holistic and tightly knit community of Venice Beach.

Food was uniformly excellent and well-timed in presentation; service was pleasant and attentive. Noise level was so high that the entire experience was ruined — we won’t be going back. So sad!

Perfect place to celebrate a birthday. Balance between the bar setting, the dining room and the food is on point and the hospitality was great. Highly recommend. Manny’s service was excellent as well.
