“What a cool super quality place! We were a group of 12 work colleagues with a pre set menus lunch. It was quite expensive as you would expect a place in the this super chic LA street. They brought way too much food for the table (not their fault probably) and everything was delicious. Very special kinds of sushi, even vegetarian ones, salads, main and side dishes, all so unique and delicious. Service was impacable and the place itself is gorgeous. Even the take away bags are elegant. Loved it!“

“Absolutely love this place. Staff is so friendly and attentive, as well as the managers. Sat at the bar and was served by Emma, Julian, and Adam. They were so fun, lots of laughs, and knowledgeable about the menu. Emma actually remembered my drink order from a previous visit, which was super sweet and surprising. I was also greeted by a manager, Tom, who was very friendly as well. The food, 11/10. I live for the tempura vegetables, tuna handroll, the island rock cod. The filet mignon is the most tender, tastiest filet you'll ever have. Trendy place, the ambiance is just as great as the food and service. Highly recommend for a nice bite before a flight out of LAX or a night out with friends. No notes.“

“If you are looking for a culinary experience that borders on the orgasmic, look no further. I custom-designed a salmon poke bowl that was, quite simply, pure ecstasy. The salmon is so buttery and fresh it doesn't just eat—it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving the next bite before you’ve even finished the first. And the sauces? They absolutely light me up, sets my palate on fire in the best way possible. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep, flavorful seduction. If you want a taste that truly hits the spot, this is the only place to go.“
