Travis Lett, the James Beard-nominated chef behind Venice institution Gjelina, has branched out to open a Japanese izakaya, just a stone’s throw also on Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
At MTN (pronounced "mountain"), he serves hearty bowls of house-made ramen alongside other Japanese delights. The menu is divided into vegetable, sashimi and grilled dishes, with fairly traditional takes on classic izakaya fare: shishito peppers and pickled veggies, snapper and mackerel sashimi, meat or veggie gyoza, grilled whole squid and chicken wings. And then there’s the ramen, ranging from pork and chicken to kombu and shiitake and Dungeness crab ramen.
The super-slick restaurant has no sign, but U won’t miss it for the line of people outside.
