Here are the Michelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Central Coast by Eater Staff and Matthew Kang Jun 26, 2025, 7:26 PM UTC
Michelin announced its 2025 list of starred restaurants across California in a ceremony at Safe Credit Union Performing Arts Center in Sacramento just steps from the state capitol building to a crowd of industry insiders, chefs, restaurateurs, cooks, and front-of-house professionals.
The performing arts center's glamorous lobby was filled with local Sacramento Michelin-starred restaurants the Kitchen and Localis serving small bites while guests hobnobbed with the Michelin Man in front of a wide step-and-repeat. About an hour into the festivities but before everyone went into the audience area, Eater LA broke the news that Somni had been awarded three stars through an accidentally published YouTube short on the Michelin Guide's channel. Later in the evening, Korean American chef Ki Kim was awarded the Young Chef Award while his Little Tokyo restaurant Ki was awarded a star. In addition, female-owned and operated sushi bar Mori Nozomi received a star and Lennon Silvers Lee (previously at Sushi|Bar Montecito, which had a Michelin star) received a star for Silvers Omakase in Santa Barbara. Lee joins his brother Phillip Frankland Lee at Michelin one-star Pasta Bar as the only set of siblings in the U.S. to concurrently hold their own Michelin-starred restaurants. Finally, Providence was promoted to three stars, a lifelong achievement for chef Michael Cimarusti and partner Donato Poto, who opened the seafood fine dining restaurant 20 years ago on Melrose Avenue.
The guide also quietly demoted Hana Re in Orange County and Sushi Ginza Onodera in West Hollywood from their former one-star status. For more about the Michelin ceremony, read the winners announcement.

One star. Chef Lennon Silvers Lee's Santa Barbara omakase restaurant, Silver Omakase, received its first Michelin star. Lee was previously the chef at Sushi|Bar Montecito when it received a Michelin star (which it has since lost). Lee learned to do sushi under his older brother Phillip Frankland Lee, chef/owner of Pasta|Bar in Encino, which also retained its Michelin star. The two brothers are the only chefs in the U.S. to concurrently hold Michelin stars of their own restaurants. The younger Lee focuses on traditional edomae sushi served with a deep commitment to house-milled rice from Tanada Isehikari in Japan.
One star. Chef Morihiro Onodera, who founded Mori Sushi in West Los Angeles, bounced around at various restaurants before settling into this Atwater Village sushi temple. 3133 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039, USA

One star. While skewing slightly upscale, Osteria Mozza from chef Nancy Silverton is far from fussy. This Italian staple offers pasta, roasted meats, and one heck of a mozzarella bar.

Three stars. In a complete rebirth, former two-Michelin-star restaurant Somni has opened in a new West Hollywood location under chef Aitor Zabala. Somni occupies a cloistered set of buildings just north of Santa Monica Boulevard serving precise Spanish-inflected modernist tasting menus to a rounded duet of countertops. The high-ceiling space acts as a theater of sorts to Zabala's kitchen crew, assembling dashi meringue fish topped with Astrea caviar or escabeche mussels dressed with borage flowers. Expect every flavorful turn to be delightful, especially for the sky-high $495 price that will inevitably feel justified after experiencing perhaps the most innovative meal in Los Angeles. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest 9045 Nemo St (Santa Monica Blvd), West Hollywood, CA 90069

Two stars. Hayato hit the Los Angeles dining scene hard in 2018, earning boundless praise from critics and diners alike for its small, tucked-away space and traditional Japanese fare. Brandon Go's multi-course kaiseki remains one of the top experiences in the city, according to Michelin. 1320 E 7th St #126, Los Angeles, CA 90021, USA
