Excellent cocktails and food. Every dish was great. The cauliflower karaage and eggplant dengaku were great, but crab gumbo udon was mind blowing. Get the Shias Salty if you want a cocktail.

Crab udon gumbo, yuzu cauliflower, miso eggplant and lovely cocktails, especially the shochu in the shiso salty. Oh, and jelly shots were unique and fun. The ambience was perfect and music that reminded me of Persona 4. Very glad we stopped in.

I came for happy hour and it was not that busy on a weekday. It still felt a little pricey, but the oyster was tasty. The interior is nice and has nice music and decor. The service was also really nice, and there is table or bar seating

The WAGYU LOMO SALTADO was extremely disappointing. The dish is small for a portion size for two people — there was very little wagyu, it was way overcooked and did not pair well with fries given the heaviness of the two, and definitely not worth the price point it is offered at.

No notes. The most unique Asian + World Fusion food I’ve ever had. Stunning flavors with creative ingredient pairings.

This has been somewhere I've been looking to try for a while, especially the Loco Moco Scotch Egg, which is what I ordered The dish is an fascinating combination of a couple different things - Loco Moco, which is a hamburger patty with egg and white rice, and a Scotch Egg, which is a boiled egg wrapped in ground beef, that's then deep fried.
This leans more onto the Scotch Egg part of things, as it's a fried & breaded ground beef ball with a soft-boiled egg in the middle, but the Loco Moco part of it is that it comes over rice and with gravy, and also mac salad
For me, the concept of this dish ended up being more interesting than the actual result There were certainly some highlights. The egg was perfectly soft-boiled with a slightly runny yolk inside, the ground beef tasted quite good, and the mac salad was especially excellent - it had a certain spice to it that was delightful The gravy was fine, but nothing special
The main issue was with the breading of the beef. It was really soggy, to the point that it just didn't taste like anything except like a covering that was wet from the gravy. There wasn't the slightest hint of crunch, or anything more than a damp blanket over the beef. Since the breading comprised a large portion of the volume of the meal, since there wasn't much to like about it, this lowered the overall experience Also, the rice was on the drier side. This got better after mixing with gravy, but it was not great at the start
We also got the fried cauliflower as an appetizer - and this was decent - the upper parts were a bit lacking in sauce, but the light breading worked wel here
The price was on the expensive side, as it was $40 per person. The portions are decent, but not overwhelming. I think there are cheaper spots all along Chinatown that work better if you're looking for value
Overall, it's an interesting concept, but there are some issues here that prevent it from being a spot I really enjoyed. 7/10

Amazing food. We ordered hamachi crudo, Aubergine Dengaku, chicken spring roll & sticky pudding toffee mochi. All dishes were on point, very balanced flavors. Will definitely visit again.
Really enjoyed eating here. Everything was incredibly creative and worked super well. We went with 4 and shared a lot of plates and everything hit. My favorites were the aubergine dengaku, filet o hirame, and negi-toro tartare. The dessert was also sooooo good!

Service was great, but the food and drinks are not at all worth it. When we went in they had limited time sushi, it was 25 for a basic roll. For 2 drinks and 2 meals it was 136$ out the door. The food is mediocre and at the time a guest was having a conversation at the bar where he was basically yelling the entire time.

Heads up, the menus in the images on Google maps are for a previous restaurant. Service and food was excellent. I'll definitely be back for date night.
