Beacon

When Asian fusion is good, it's really good. And it is at Beacon, located in the old Beacon laundry location in the Helms Bakery in Culver City. Chef Kazuto Matsusaka serves delicious pan Asian style seafood, and other tasty treats in this stripped down, vaulted ceiling space.

Specialties include tuna sashimi pizza (we know, it sounds weird, but it's heavenly!) miso marinated black cod, skirt steak and (unfortunately only served at lunch) the delictable albacore blt -- served on grilled bread with lean smokey bacon and wasabi mayonaise. More typical Asian fare, like pad thai and sushi is passable, but not amazing. Also worth mentioning is their fused sakes, very tastey but watch out -- they're not cheap.

Beacon is a great place to have a small bites type dinner with friends and cold sake, sitting on they patio in the smooth summer twilight.

Beacon, 3280 Helms Ave, Culver City, CA 90034
