Staying in downtown San Jose and really enjoyed the 2 dishes I ordered . Sat at the bar, bartenders were very nice. Fish was fresh and tasty

The moment I sat down, the bartender made the whole place feel welcoming with genuinely friendly service. The menu surprised me in the best way-creative American and Asian fusion dishes that taste just as good as they look. Prices lean a little higher, but the quality absolutely matches what you’re paying for.

The food hits the spot, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s a perfect place to bring someone for a casual date or a quick, tasty meal. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Sunken open bar inside lobby of Signia by Hilton hotel. Surprisingly good food and a very friendly attentive server. No coffee. I was by myself and this is a great place to comfortably hang and have a bite to eat, without feeling awkward by yourself.

I could've sworn this looked different a few years back! Price point a bit high but food is great!!!

Worst server experience ever. We ended up walking out after being treated rudely. The server was just bizarre and illogical when trying to answer simple straight forward questions on the happy hour menu. Won't be back. Their happy hour is not what their menu or website says it is. Either that or she was just weird and mean.

This place was so good I had to leave a review. Wagyu sliders were top notch and well cooked. Tiger Prawn roll was fantastic. Bao buns were soft and meat flavorful. Gyoza were savory. Didn’t have a bad dish. I recommend the Rising Sun cocktail.

Tried to make a reservation on 3 separate occasions and no one answered.

The bar setting in the middle of a beautiful hotel gives a very warm open feeling. It was surprisingly empty but I attributed that to being spring break week. Everything we ordered was amazing. We have the beef skewers which were cooked to perfection, the salmon skewers were on the sweet side but great, shishito peppers were prepared in the most unique way I’ve seen, tempura was perfectly light and the fried avocado was very unique and tasty. Cocktails were on point. Live music started right as we were leaving which is a nice touch. This place should be crowded given the quality of the food and the location. But the lack of energy made the atmosphere feel too quiet. Overall fantastic culinary experience however.
