Delicious. Bright flavors, fresh, and surprisingly light. Definitely don’t skip the cocktails and desserts. Everyone we interacted with were so sweet and made the experience very enjoyable.

We both didn’t enjoy the food we ordered. It’s just flavorless fat over white rice. Supposedly lamb but tasted like fat fish skin.

Food was delicious and a very nice twist on a different angle of Asian fair. Service was a little slow, but the excellent cocktails balanced out the time, the flavors were unique and something I quite haven’t had elsewhere. The Dan Dan noodles with duck were something special, super fresh, the noodles handmade the day of, I’m sure of it, highly recommended. Overall it was a good place to check out. I’ll come back a couple two or three times.

Shoutout to Stephen for taking such good care of us last night. Had a very nice date night and enjoyed the food! what we ordered: - scallion and butter clay oven bread (DELICIOUS and a must have IMHO) - papaya salad (really good and the walnuts had a great spice to them) - vegetarian kon lo mi (nothing mind blowing, but a nice vegetarian main) - flourless chocolate cake (really great way to wrap up the meal)
overall had a good time, don’t feel compelled to come back every time i’m in SM, but a unique and fun menu that i’m glad to have tried once.

We had the best time at Cassia! Recommended by a friend, everything from the hostess Lisa, to the ambiance, to our waitress Becca, to everything was fabulous! We ordered based on recommendations from the staff, and we enjoyed the spicy crab dip, Kaya toast, Dan Dan noodles, mushroom satay, chicken satay, sea bass, and steak. Will definitely be coming back!

Love the flavors here and always great to enjoy dining on the patio.
This place must use pretty low quality ingredients because my husband and I felt terrible after eating here. The food was very mediocre and not worth the toll on the body. The waiter was nice, but the woman who sat us denied our request for a booth when the restaurant was empty saying she needed to save them all for party of six. As we left the restaurant we saw she had sat a 2 top at the booth for 6 we were denied. We felt totally duped for grossly overpaying for a very unpleasant dining experience that dreadfully stuck with us hours after we left. Needlessly to say will not be back

One of my favorite restaurants in Santa Monica, having now gone there 3 times. Food is always delicious — love the Vietnamese Caesar salad, scallops, beef rendang, and cold sesame noodles. Drink menu is excellent. Service is great. I went with a large group, and my drink arrived before we were even finished ordering — that’s service!

This place, wow. A hidden gem, or a massively popular restaurant with great food, staff, and drink selection. You know it might be the best restaurant in Santa Monica, right? There. I said it. Go enjoy, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go back, it's that good.

If you like big, bold, spicy flavors, this is the place to visit! From the Singaporean Chili Crab to the Spicy Minced Duck Dan Dan Noodles, the dishes felt like an endless explosion of spices. And yes, the chef brings the heat.
We also had the Crawfish Toast which was sweet and savory and the Kon Loh Mee which had a great, smoked char siu mixed in.
Overall a great meal and probably the best I've had in LA. Definitely worth a visit if you like spices!
