About n/naka

Watch on TikTok

Niki Nakayama developed n/naka's California Kaiseki concept from the traditional multi-course Japanese meal structure, replacing classical Japanese ingredients with the best of what California's farms and coastline produce each season. The 13-course dinner changes with what Nakayama and her partner Carole Iida-Nakayama find worth cooking, and the precision of the kitchen — each course considered as an element of a larger composition — is what earned the two Michelin stars and sustained them. The restaurant seats fewer than 30 guests per service, which means every reservation is an event, and the intimacy of the room makes it genuinely suitable for the most important dinners.
