My husband and I didn't know what to expect from this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food, service and wine selections were amazing. We were particularly impressed with the service and their attention to detail. We can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu

We have been consistently delighted by this neighborhood gem. Innovative and wonderful food, kind, helpful service.

Holy **** — what a surprise. This might be the best restaurant I've been to in Los Angeles. We skipped entrées and ordered a spread of appetizers (six total), and every single dish felt like the “perfect” version of itself. The ‘Secret' Potatoes were unreal — easily the best potatoes I've ever had. The dry-aged fish collars were flawless (crispy, juicy, punchy sauce), and the Dungeness crab cold noodles were next-level. If you like bright, bold flavors and dishes that feel both thoughtful and comforting, don't miss this place. We're already planning our return.

Great service, updated menu on a regular basis. Knowledgeable servers. I highly recommend this restaurant. I have come many times and will continue to do so!

One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in awhile! The service from the somm as well as the wait staff were great. The food was DELICIOUS. Everything we ordered was a hit, no misses at all. The whole party also enjoyed our respective beverages/drinks. Thank you!

We made a reservation for 7 and had to change it to 8, and the restaurant was incredibly accommodating. We had a gluten-free and vegetarian member of our party, and the restaurant went out of their way to call in advance to confirm everyone's dietary needs and double- and triple-checked the needs of our large party. Everything we ate was incredible. I wish we had taken more photos to remember. The portion sizes of the appetizers were a little small, but we got many different things to try and had a fantastic experience. It was a bit pricey, but for the memories and the quality of the food, it was absolutely worth it. I had only ever previously dined at Yang's for brunch, but dinner was just as exquisite.

Incredible cooking all around. Everything was prepped, cooked, and presented to a delightfully high standard. FOH was a joy to be around. Wine list unique, but still had something for everyone. Places like this is why I go out to eat.

This is a very original take on a fusion -- not quite sure of the components definately Asian and French? We started with three dishes -- exceptional steelhead with rye over a thin crispy layer -- delicious ---- I have never had anything quite like it. The chicken wings were disappointing -- I could have made these , I was expecting something more original. The cabbage with aioli and anchovies was delicious and again a newish taste for me. The three mains were all delightful -- a new take on Mapo tofu that was really subtle and filling , the fish rice also fresh tasting and delicious , the muscles in the slightly spicy sauce were a standout dish -- the mussels were so plump and tender, the dan dan noodles amazing and the sauce a special fusion of extra tasty well balanced components. I do have to say that this is a challenging menu and for adventurous eaters like me and my family still ordering was tricky -- I generally do not find the small plates focus easy to order -- but I have to hand it to the chef a very interesting menu.

Overall, it was excellent, but it's no longer a Taiwanese restaurant as I thought based on reviews; it's a farm-to-table Asian fusion restaurant.

We were offered outdoor seating with heaters. Ten minutes into the meal the heaters went out. After repeated requests for the heat to be turned up, we were informed that the restaurant had “run out” of the gas needed to run the heaters. No apologies for any inconvenience. No efforts to accommodate. None of our food was served warm, as the temperature this chilly evening was below 60. We had returned with out of town guests because they enjoyed the restaurant on their last visit. Never again.
For anyone who's a fan of Majordomo in DTLA, this place has similar quality for slightly less $$. In other words it's excellent. And a great wine list curated by their phenomenal sommelier Jordan

Delicious food. It's a local farm to table concept. Every ingredient was fresh. We had the duck , persimmon salad and steak. All cooked perfect. Definitely a place to visit

Had the breakfast plate and everything on that plate was amazing. The hanger steak is so juicy. The mochi pancakes are delicious. The food deserves 5 stars, and all the staff members are very nice and accommodating.

Delicious flavors! my only complaint is like most higher end restaurants the dishes tend to be quite rich; would also like to see whole grains rather than white rice.

Yummy food, nice service, great wines!! The coffee and tea were top quality too. Would definitely go back for dinner or brunch again.
