We arrived at a nearby hotel and wanted to have a late night dinner, and this place was recommended by the concierge. We just made the deadline for last order - 10 pm. The atmosphere is very loud, with many people at the crowded bar, but also a fair amount of other late night diners. I had a six-year old... More

I can recall taking my son there when he was an infant, well he just turned 22 and we had a meal in Chaya Venice just last week. Their bar scene heats up around 5 for their very reasonable Happy Hour. The counter has diners who coat in and out all during the evenings hours, it functions as a sushi... More

Well-prepared, moderately innovative food in Venice. Loud bar but good separation between bar and dining area. Excellent wait staff, prompt service. More

Went there after my in-laws rejected a highly recommended, but funky looking Venice beach restaurant. They preferred Chaya's white tablecloths, modern decor & upscale ambiance. We found street parking, but they provided validation in a garage around the corner. It was Wednesday around 6:15. We were able to walk-in & immediately get a table for 6 without reservations. By the... More

We were lucky to get a table without booking. Found this place by chance walking back from the beach. Good menu choice, good food and good service. Noisy but not an issue for us. Parking at beach is only a short walk away. Would visit again and recommend to others. More

This place has a great interior decor, good service, a lively atmosphere, not inexpensive but pretty reasonable prices considering its quality, and most of the food is top notch. Have eaten here several times in the last few months and its good enough that its kept me coming back. Even managed to spot a celebrity here once (George Lucas). Favorites... More

Twelve of us on a golf trip from the east coast had a great evening at this restaurant. Top shelf atmosphere food and service. Sushi appetizers followed by scrumptious main courses that everyone enjoyed. I had the sea bass which was outstanding. Can't wait to visit again More

We are partial to this restaurant as we live closeby. This is our go-to restaurant whenever we feel like popping out for a drink and sit-down dinner without paying too much for good food. Our favorite dish is the juicy Dijon chicken with heaps of fries... I know it's hard not to finish all the fries. Very hard! So my... More

Stunning modern interior with dropped ceiling and open kitchen sushi bar is a trendy place for the young set and the arty group. The menu is a crossover of French and Japanese cuisine that is innovative and delicious. More
