To be clear, it's not a Japanese menu. There are Japanese-themed items and homages, but the modern menu is clearly European based in style and flavor.We had the DineLA menu in April 2022. After a promising mini rice ball to start, the next several dishes were fine but ranged from bland or too salty to tolerable but unimpressive. I thought it was just the European influence or flavoring that my palette wasn't used to or enjoying, but then we got the two main courses.A "tempura" dish consisting of 3 fish, with a barely-there layer of battering. The fish were overly crunchy+salty and not quality fish at all. It came with a vinegar dipping sauce that was clearly there to try and make up for the low quality fish. The sauce overpowered and tried to mask the flavor of the fish rather than complimenting it at all.The final straw was the unagi (eel) dish wrapped around burdock, served with a Japanese bowl of white rice. The eel was extremely tough, chewy. I'm a Japanese American with lifelong chopstick skills; I could barely cut the eel into bites. The burdock was overly tough in places (I pulled some fibrous portions out of my mouth) and didn't compliment the eel at all.But the clear message was the plain bowl of rice. Again, I know rice and have had Japanese rice around the world both from my family and in fine restaurants in Japan. This bowl of rice was clearly undercooked and tough, and had been left out since the morning or the day before. Completely unacceptable. That's when I realized for sure it wasn't simply a difference in palette.The food was simply badly prepared.We asked for the bill and left early after trying a bite of each of the last courses and finding them all completely forgettable. Hard pass on this place. Don't know how it ever got a Michelin star. Assuming it's been bought since Michelin came back and gave them the rating.
