Everytime I've dined here, I've been royally treated. The high end sakes were wonderful and the absynthe, and both were wonderfully served in unique and beautiful decanters and glassware. I recommend the Tuna Tataki, the unusual salads and scallop dishes.

After seeing this restauant my husband and I couldn't wait to try it. I went online and checked out their menu, as well as their prices, which seemed reasonable. I also discovered that they have a little happy hours, called zero hour, which is held from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Since we would be arriving at 6:00 PM, I liked the idea of saving a few dollars. When we were seated I asked about their "Zero Hour" and was told that even though they only opened three months ago, they no longer honor it. I would have throught that they would have removed this ad from their internet menu. To my surprise, I also discovered their prices were higher on all items as well. The Edamame was hot, lightly salted, and wonderful. The Shrimp and chunky Cucumber Salad was alright. The Popcorn Shrimp was a large helping, but way had way too much batter on it for my taste. The dipping sauce that came with it was pretty much tasteless. The Buta Kakuni (pork) was wonderful! The draw back was that it only contained four small bites of pork, two of which contained a good size piece of fat. The Lettuce Wraps were very spicy, but over all pretty good. The Chicken Teriyaki had more fat in it than it had meat. I have never seen this much fat in a Chicken Teriyaki dish. We sent it back. Later, when we received our bill, they forgot to remove this dish from our bill. Our server quickly corrected it. The Orange Coconut Creme Brule tasted like "plain" Creme Brule. At almost seven dollars a serving, we expected it to taste really special, it didn't. The service was really good. The restaurant was relaxing and beautiful.
Pros: Thumbs up Service and Ambience
Cons: Too much fat in their meat!

Very cool place to hang out and eat awesome fusion dishes. I would try one of the expensive Sake too. The bar is nicely placed and the interior design is very modern. It's a great restaurant located at one of the most trendy and hip places in southern California.

This place is definitely a hidden jewel. The restaurant's opened just recently so it's just a matter of time before everyone finds out about the great food they serve here. Their "tapa" like dishes are not only spectacular but just as interesting. The ambiance that comes from the amazing decor makes the dining experience even more pleasant. I have been to several high end Japanese restaurants around L.A. and Orange county, and this place is very much comparable if not better!
Pros: Great food and service
