Lukshon in Culver City is Sang Yoon's (of Father's Office fame) lastest creation. Overrated? Yes.
Although people are all talk about Yoon's newest culinary dining experience, Lukshon hasn’t received the best ratings. Yet everyone wants to check it out.
So off I went with a fellow foodie and beaus in tow to check out this new local creation.
“Haute cuisine,” someone recently commented on a blog- doubtful I think.
Impeccable was also a word used to describe this new restaurant. I would certainly agree on the service element, however, the food has a long way to go. The eggplant side dish tasted more like an old cardboard box and the raw scallop appetizer was less than average .
That said, the black heirloom rice dish was tasty and creative, utilizing the forbidden rice of Nepal.
Although tasty and well cooked, the Lamb entrée dish for $36 consisted of three tiny chops, more appropriately sized as a small tapas plate and certainly not entrée worthy.
Our main peeve was the fact that once we finished our bottle of French Gamay, we were in the mood for just a sip more of wine. When we asked our server to see the list of red wines by the glass, she told us that they had no red wines by the glass, but had rose or white wine selections. I mean, what restaurant in this day and age doesn’t offer a red wine by the glass? Completely ludicrous.
The only redeeming quality was the fact that the service was impeccable and the sommelier was both professional and friendly. The restaurant décor consists of clean crisp lines, both bright and fresh.
Although I can see the patio being a sought after spot in the summertime, I will not be returning to Lukshon anytime soon.
