restaurants

Okariba

Jessica Alba said about this spot: “If you’ve seen my Instagram feed, you know I’m a big foodie and take my meals seriously. So I look to eat at local restaurants with fresh dishes that I can’t get anywhere else. I had the best dining experience of my life at Okariba, a rustic, intimate restaurant where the chef is an artist and I truly experienced authentic Japanese culture. We enjoyed the best of his home-brewed sake, too!”
