WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.
Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.

Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

Such a gem! We went in not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bartender created a mocktail for me that was so good. We ordered sushi and the sticky ribs. Everything was delicious! The sushi was fresh and the ribs were tender.

Food was on par with sushi quality around the area and within southern California restaurants. I did not have steak so I cannot comment on the steak dishes. The sashimi was fresh. I ordered mostly sashimi (about 6 different ones) and 3-4 appetizer. They were all delicious and high quality. The server was available shortly after we were seated. However, the appetizers came out, I had to ask the host who walked by (and who was more attentive to the tables) to ask for placing more orders.

We came here for my friend’s birthday and had a great experience from start to finish. We were seated right away with a reservation, and our waiter was super friendly and attentive. He gave spot-on drink recommendations based on what each of us liked, and the drinks were tasty—flavorful without being too strong. We shared three appetizers between the three of us, which was the perfect amount. The noods & dumplings are on the spicy side, FYI. The music was a great mix that added to the vibe, and the decor was really nice without feeling overdone. Overall, a solid spot—we’d definitely come back!
