Kodō is located in Los Angeles’ Arts District and focuses on Japanese-inspired food in a modern setting. The restaurant operates inside a converted firehouse. The interior uses simple materials like concrete and wood, with an open layout and natural lighting. The menu includes sushi, grilled items, and seasonal dishes. Ingredients are sourced both locally and from Japan. Drinks include a mix of classic and Japanese-inspired options. During the day, the space functions as a café serving coffee and light food. In the evening, it shifts to a dinner service with a broader menu. Kodō is one of several newer spots in the area that combine food and design in a straightforward way.
