Love this place for incredible quality of food, service, and atmosphere. Every dish on the menu was creative and tasteful. The server was very friendly and welcoming to tell us the ideas behind the food. We had a great time here. Booking required email communication, but very timely confirmed. This is my favorite asian fusion restaurant in LA! We will definitely come back.

Loved our dinner here! The space is gorgeous. Loved the wagyu and the miso soup. The octopus was great. Service was fantastic. Will definitely come back if I’m back in LA. Highly recommend.

Not gonna lie, I ate here completely by accident and out of necessity. I met up with a friend of mine Friday night for dinner in Little Tokyo with no reservation (not smart). Ended up randomly walking into this place and getting the only open table they have. The food was amazingly good with great service. We had a great experience here and have said we will return here in the future

We finally got a reservation. We tried several dishes as this was my first time here and each item they brought out was better than the last, even the desserts! Will definitely come again to try different menu items!

Great restaurant and overall experience. All uni dishes are very delicious and fresh. The rice is also the best Japanese rice i tasted so far. Owner stated was import from japan and fresh process in US (no sale on market). worth to order share dishes and eat with rice. Dishes and utensils are replacing frequently between diahes. Great service.

Will come again.

some of the most absolutely delicious and unique food i’ve ever had.
extremely high quality, amazing presentation, such kind, personable and genuinely warm staff, and they manage to avoid harboring any sort of pretentious atmosphere that you can often find in places of this caliber. the owner is so nice and also was serving some of the dishes.

(if i were to be SUPER super picky, it would be nice to have the silverware/serving utensils match the quality and style of the beautiful plates/bowls etc, rather than things like disposable wooden chopsticks or out of place looking standard spoons mixed with traditional japanese serving ware. just felt not as purposefully curated and i know that’s like the most minute detail ever but i still noticed it)

anyways, been raving about this place to all my friends since coming here. go!!! definitely recommend getting a reservation, if you walk in you’re more than likely not going to get a table.

Great food, but the service was even better! One of the best dining experiences I’ve had—attentive yet not overbearing. Shawn was especially outstanding—thoughtful, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Plus, he’s handsome too :)

My #1 restaurant in LA. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes as you chew, savoring the flavor and texture. Incredible service as well. A perfect spot for special occasions.

Get the beef tongue. It’s their signature dish for a reason.

This was one of our favorite meals during our trip to LA. The uni risotto, thick cut beef tongue, truffle udon, and wasabi potato salad were the absolute stand-outs. Service was great, we loved their sake selection, and the pacing was on point. Definitely try them out.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! Each dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. (As a group we shared 14 menu items). The service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return.
