"A chic Michelin 1star restaurant in DTLA. Menu is very simple but you’d be surprised by how many “gifts/dishes” chef send you. You’ll end up having way more than what’s indicated on the menu. Definitely full after the meal. All ingredients are fresh and delicious. Not fishy at all. Ingredients compliment each other and create a beautiful harmony. I recommend adding the seafood porridge. It’s savory and delicious. 1 serving can be shared between 2 people. Services is to the standard. Seat arrangements are comfortable and provide enough privacy for each table."

"Positively delightful experience. Very high quality and delicious food, excellent beverage pairing, and a very cozy atmosphere. The tasting menu is advertised as only “5 courses”, but you get way more (see pictures). Reasonably priced for Michelin star standards."

"This was our first Michelin star experience in LA and we were quite impressed! The standout was surprisingly the beverage pairing, mostly European wine and one pouring of sake. The pairings all tasted great in their own, but with the food, the flavours were truly enhanced by each other! During our seating, the chef actually gave us a feel complimentary items which we very much appreciated! It seemed like the other tables did as well. While it was thoughtful, we actually felt like the complimentary items ruined the flow and rhythm of the tasting menu. We really appreciated the extra dishes but it kinda downgraded the experience actually…. Maybe they were trying new dishes? The actual items on the menu were very delicious, well thought out and creative. The salad and pasta dish were the most memorable!! In terms of the Japanese and Italian fusion, I did see elements of both but the dishes were leaning towards the Italian side. I want to say 30% Japanese and 70% Italian. Atmosphere-wise, I really like how it was a bit more casual. The open kitchen was very nice and they only had a few seatings so was a very intimate experience with my fiancé. WOULD I COME AGAIN? Yes, mainly because I was surprised by the beverage pairing and really appreciated it. I don’t feel like other restaurants truly do the beverage pairing this well and would want to come back to experience this again. The pritce point is also fair. I wouldn’t say the $$ was worth it in ingredients, but in the “art” of the dishes."

"This was our first experience at a Michelin star restaurant and we were very impressed. The food was amazing. My favorite dish was the butternut squash ravioli. I will dream of that dish. We came to celebrate my husband's birthday and they made it special. We had a great time. Will be back!"

"I had the tasting menu, and it was delightful. The meal lasted just the right amount of time. I don’t enjoy when restaurants drag out meals too much, this menu had the perfect amount of food and every dish I was served was to my liking which is rare! The dishes I enjoyed the most were the egg custard, the crab, the vegetable dish and the pasta- but really, everything was good. The service was also, very kind. Special thanks to Roman! I would love to visit again in the future."
