Katsuya Glendale

Renowned designer Phillippe Starck let loose on this modern yet oh-so sit-right-next-to-me-cozy space. Between the visual stimulation (just whose lips are those?!), comfy sofas, robata skewers and unique cocktails, it feels more like the best house party ever than an upscale (for a mall) restaurant, which draws the Hollywood type here in droves - yes, even to Glendale. Once you've scraped the plate, head upstairs to the Dragon Room lounge for tableside mixologyand specialty cocktails.
