Rancho Cucamonga

About the restaurant

Here at Shokunin we serve traditional omakase styled courses.
Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means "I'll leave it up to you”. The chef chooses the fresh fish selection daily and garnishes it into a 11 or 13 course meal. Our mission is to deliver a fine dining experience in a casual environment all at an affordable price.

As a disclaimer, we do not sell any rolls that are baked, fried, or contain eel sauce or spicy mayo. We also do not sell any kitchen items, such as teriyaki bowls.

Hollywood

About the restaurant

Marino Ristorante is deeply rooted in Hollywood since the late 1950’s when Ciro (Mario to friends) Marino landed in Hollywood and has ever since had generations of who’s who in the movie, record, art, political and business LA community at his tables. Today it is still family owned and given its warm welcome flavor by the second generation of Marinos, Mario in the dining room and brother Sal in the kitchen.

The decor is modern and comfortable with memorabilia from a 60 year career which all come together to create its appeal. Described by many marrying the quintessential NY Italian in Los Angeles for its history coupled with today’s seasonal menu, highlighting the best locally sourced ingredients and top notch freshest seafood available.

We've eaten here on special occasions for a few years and they never disappoint. For our sons birthday this year, they gave us one of the Tatami rooms, very nice. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommend the Kobe filet.

This is BY FAR the best sushi restaurant in all of LA. I've lived here my whole life. I hesitate to even post this b/c I don't want this place to become too popular and hard to get into BUT I also want them to succeed.
