Considering that Tengu was the Japanese "God of Mischief," the swinging bar scene at this Westwood sushi palace pays due respect to its namesake. In the middle of all the mayhem, a DJ spins everything from acid jazz to house, adding a hip vibe to a chic space. With its blue stone floors, sand gardens, and waterfall, Tengu is Asian Fusion dressed in its most fetching ensemble. And after a few rounds of Tengu's specialty cocktails--like the Ninja, the Sayonara, or the Flaming Colossus--the equally fetching-crowd starts swaying, maybe even to the music. If you're daring, try the pear-infused sake; it's to die for. But beware: if you're over 30, you'll stand out. Way out.
