    Food was great, but the latke took the cake. It’s reminiscent of a Jewish childhood. The Asian pear chutney combined with the creaminess of the crème fraîche was amazing. Other standouts were the wagyu gyoza, and the ube crème brûlée. James and the hosts were professional and personable, and we loved the service.

    Though a pricey restaurant, totally worth it. The food is spectacular, the service is fantastic, and the vibe is perfect. Recommend the crispy rice, the crudo (not the uni one), and the bone marrow. So good. And don't forget a perfectly created cocktail by the guys at the bar.

    Out first dinner here. Enjoyed the drinks and food offerings. In particular the spicy edamame and hot bulgogi entree. Octopus was a bit over done and chewy. Staff was attentive. I dropped my one of my chopsticks. This was quickly recognized by staff and replaced. We weren’t hurried to order food which took a while ( since the entire order was requested at once…a bit difficult when food is shared tapas style). Over all and enjoyable experience.

    We came here yesterday for our anniversary dinner, and had Zoe as our waitress. She was very sweet and attentive throughout the whole night, and the food came out in a timely manner. Food was good quality and tasty, our favorite was the pork sticky ribs!
