    Our new favorite Sushi restaurant and more, so much more! From beginning to end the experience was exceptional in every way. Vitam was one of the owners and he was gracious and made our special anniversary even more magical. Simona our waitress was so warm and the service was excellent. The Food was Asian/German fusion and I have to say every dish was better than the next. The sushi was fresh and the german inspired dishes were unusual and delicious. On top of that their happy hour is from 4pm-8pm and makes it very easy to try so many delights and drinks and not break the bank which is getting harder and harder in LA. I can't wait to go back and I'm telling all my friends to go to this Fantastic Find. I

    I would say stick to the main menu and do not order the $45 youtiao (chinese donut) supplement, which consisted of some dough ball topped with ham and caviar. The whole bite was a salt bomb from the ham, caviar, and uni (which I didn’t really taste). The disappointment was in the supposed chinese dough aspect which was not crunchy/rich/chewy whatsoever and offered no contrast for the whole bite; it really had more of a consistency akin to a takoyaki, which would have been a more apt descriptor for the sea elements. For $45, I would rather they offer an additional dish than bite. The main lamb dish was a miss for us and offered nothing mind blowing in particular, as was the ground cumin lamb pan fried bao served on the side, which again looked like it would be crispy, but again was not; the ground meat on the inside was stodgy/hard but did have a nice seasoning to it, albeit one note. The quail and black cod were the dishes that were more reminiscent of a michelin starred restaurant. Finally, the crab maw soup was good, but they need to realize that putting a whole dollop of the caviar would make it salty, and the little dish of vinegar on the side was not enough to balance it all. Desserts at the end were great and ended the meal on a good note. As for drinks, the non-alcoholic drinks were fun and refreshing. Service overall was spectacular and professional, and the interior ambiance was clean, minimalist, and quiet.
