"With a dining area that's on the small side, Beacon makes the most of its limited space with modern, Zen-inspired decor and two streetside patios. The pan-Asian spot keeps busy thanks to upscale fare and friendly prices...."

"This family-run local favorite is especially popular on Thursday nights, when the normal à la carte menu is set aside for a prix fixe..."

"Matsusaka has larger plates too, but these are fun to share as well if, like my friends and I, you like to sample everything. His black cod basted in miso, a sushi restaurant standard, is phenomenally rich, one of the better versions around, each bite clo..."

"We got to the restaurant at 8 and were quickly seated at the bar. Beacon was smaller than I thought - holding no more than 30-40 people inside and 20 outside...."

"Trendsetting chef Kazuto Matsusaka -- his resume includes Spago, Chinois on Main, and Buddha Bar in Paris -- has opened this unpretentious restaurant in Culver City. Here he specializes in a Pacific Rim cuisine that's refreshingly grounded and restrained...."

"And speaking of entrees - I got the Grilled Thai Curry Chicken with Black Rice Risotto, which was pretty decent, though the sauce, wonderfully aromatic as it was with the smells of lemongrass and coconut, was considerably too salty...."

"Like many of the tenants in this recently refurbished locale, the space is tres modern, with high windows, higher ceilings and a wooden-bench banquette against gray concrete walls. Even with that lack of sound absorption, the room still has an all-around..."

"Valentine"s Day, aka Hallmark Day, is a commercialized ploy to make money off tacky paraphernalia and make the single scurry around for a date like lions in Africa. I remember V-Day being a fun day during my elementary school years...."

"It took us a while to figure out what to order, and when we did, our waiter expressed his doubts. He went on to explain our choice of one small plate (think appetizers), one noodle dish, and one big plate (think entrée) is not much food and most customer..."

"We started with the green bean and smoked tofu salad, which was a little too tart, especially since we were expecting a sweet, creamy dressing. However, though they weren"t sensational, the crispy vegetable springrolls we would order again...."

"Located in the hip West Adams District of Culver City, Beacon occupies a narrow, modern space in the former Helms Bakery: think high ceilings, concrete galore, and Asian-inspired dishes. It's ideal for dinner and drinks after that meeting with Sony - but..."
