"Bengara debuts in the Arts District's former Taberu space, with a menu centered on Japan's binchotan charcoal, but genshiyaki-style with meats cooked slowly over low heat."
"Opt for the teuchi citrus soba, grilled rice skewer with uni and red miso, pork shoulder with house bacon and fermented garlic, and kinako ice cream."
"Bengara features a stunningly reworked space that includes 69 indoor seats, plus 30 on the patio, enveloped by a hand-painted mural."
"When the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is underway, plenty of celebrity-focused moments are captured by locals throughout Southern California."
Bengara, the latest restaurant from the team behind Smoke Door, opens in Los Angeles on April 17. The menu emphasizes Japan's binchotan charcoal cooking style, featuring raw, cured, and grilled dishes. Signature items include teuchi citrus soba and grilled rice skewers. The restaurant's design includes a hand-painted mural and a mix of industrial and natural materials. Bengara operates Wednesday to Sunday, with extended hours on weekends. During Coachella, celebrities are spotted in LA, engaging in various activities away from the festival.
