Still just as fabulous as I remember it! Our server was Kelly and she was a rockstar so attentive, friendly and gave the best recommendations.

Just horrible cooking. If you have no idea what Asian cuisine taste like, and just want a fake feeling of Japanese food, you might like this restaurant. The environment is extremely loud, everybody has to shop in order to hear each other.

This place is very lively! It feels like you are in a party! The food is also pretty great.

Elegant, sophisticated, lovely dinner spot. It’s charming and elevated yet casual enough to relax and unwind. I ordered a virgin Mojito and it was unbelievably good. My friend next to me had a custom drink made for her from the bartender and it was such a pretty drink and really yummy too!

Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and staff/service. Made my Birthday extremely special and memorable. The desert tasted like a rich buttery Strawberry shortcake merged with an elevated Twinkie (if such a thing could exist). We’ll definitely be coming back. Their sister restaurant, Casita across Ventura Blvd, is equally as impressive on all fronts. Just go.

There wasn’t a single thing that i tried here that wasn’t great, and we got lots of shared plates so we got to taste a lot. Everything is cooked (or sometimes not cooked) perfectly and the tastes were really good. Service was awesome, drinks were tasty, and they had one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten (butter cake – it was like chewing on heaven). Highly recommended!

10/10! Went here for date night & everything from the food to music to ambience was on point. Every dish we ordered tasted amazing & was cooked to perfection. The entire staff was quick & accommodating. Great vibe. Shout out to the manager, Martin, for great food suggestions. Definitely suggest trying to cauliflower & short rib…YUM!
