So I know that was a corny title...but upon valeting the car at the Sawtelle strip mall, I told the valet that I was going to Place Yuu (pronounced You). And he said place me. It took me a nanosecond to get that joke. Anyways, Kirk has been talking about Place Yuu for awhile so we decided to go there for dinner before D&B's. It is your standard small plates with sushi bar. Casual with a great friendly feel. More traditional than places like Bar Hayama or Orris. I personally like Bar Hayama more but I think that's because I like the fusion style Japanese small plates. If you don't want to venture out with the small plates, the sushi was very standard and very reliable. Kirk ordered a sushi dish called Battera which was a press sushi with I think a Saba type fish. I ordered some spicy scallop and salmon which was delicious. We also ordered Yaki Nasu (grilled eggplant), Yaki Ika (grilled squid) and Buta Kakuni (slow cooked pork). All in all it was a good meal...another restaurant to check off my list of Sawtelle street places.
