Brentwood Restaurant Guide

Mangetsu, means full moon in Japanese, replaced the former Koi Sushi restaurant. Jack, owner and chef, calls Mangetsu his dream. "I always wanted my own restaurant. Everybody's dream is to have their own, and this is my first." In addition to the ten seat bar, the 2,500 square-foot space seats 52 and will have, Jack promises, a fish tank with koi fish which he also promises will not be on the menu, adding that in Japan, koi means long life.

Why we are special and different than the other restaurant Traditional Japanese Dishes? We have colorful and exotic fusion presentations wrapped in a French style, like the show "Iron Chef", have made Mangetsu popular.

Pointing to the wood plaques on the wall behind the bar, Jack says the Japanese characters tell what fish are on the day's menu. Over 29 various sakes shipped from Japan, especially Sake Pop--the most famous beverage. Service is very friendly and well organized. Jack designed and hand-built the oak sushi bar himself. For sake and Japanese vodka lover, customer can purchase a bottle of sake and wooden sake cup for future use. Jack built a rack to decorate all these sakes and cups. Come and try Sushi 101 or Full Moon night. Jazz music twice per month
