Gonpachi, Beverly Hills - Soba & Anime Food in A Lavish Place

By Eat Drink and Be Merry Nov 07, 2007

What would you do with $18 million dollars? Would you retire and travel the world? Would you help out a village in an underdeveloped country? Would you buy a ticket on Virgin Galactic? No, these are all a waste of time and money. Instead, let's build a Japanese mega-restaurant over the old Ed Debevic's Diner and name it Gonpachi. That's exactly how much it cost to build Global Dining's third location in Beverly Hills. According to articles, it's a true import, meaning they shipped out the same exact building materials out to LA. Let's see what $18 million dollars buys you. This week, I drove down to Beverly Hills for a company... FULL REVIEW

Gonpachi Revisited

By Mikey Hates Everything Jul 10, 2007

Considering the recent bad press on Gonpachi, it'd be easy to move on to other places. But on the occasion of my grandma's birthday I knew it'd be the perfect venue. Why? Despite their hit-and-miss menu and the awkwardness of non-Japanese speaking waitstaff, she and my grandpa could appreciate the $18.5 million atmosphere.

(In fact, a whole crowd of Japanese customers congregated and started talking about the 'good 'ol days.') Once we sat down, they pointed to the ceiling at a fixture shaped like a hyoutan (a traditional... FULL REVIEW

I’ve recently returned from travels in Japan, and my husband and I are experiencing some serious nostalgia already. Accordingly, we’ve had to eat a lot of Japanese food in the past month. So one of the things on our “to do” list was to check out Gonpachi on La Cienega. Gonpachi is a true import [...] FULL REVIEW

Gonpachi @ La Cienega's Resturant Row

By Mikey Hates Everything Apr 14, 2007

After months of delay, Gonpachi is finally open in Beverly Hills. If you drive down La Cienega Blvd. it's really hard to miss it — a Buddhist temple behemoth standing amongst old American standards like Lawry's and Arnie Mortons. I decided to nickname it "Todaiji" after the temple in Kyoto but realized it looks more like Kill Bill's House of Blue Leaves. You know, the one where the big showdown takes place. The original Gonpachi is in Tokyo and apparently the parent company, Global Dining Inc., went through painstaking measures to bring every piece of wood from Japan to build this edifice. Supposedly, not one nail or screw was set into... FULL REVIEW
