The trend setting open kitchen where you can sit and eat while you watch the dance of the chefs working in unison. ***If you are interested in reserving our dining counter please make a request while making a reservation since seating is very limited***

The service and the ambience were the best parts of the night. Our waited accommodated whatever we needed and routinely checked in on our table. The food, however, was underwhelming. The menu looked delicious but my roasted sea bass lacked depth and flavor. The piece of fish was very good, but the miso glaze lacked depth in flavor and almost tasted like a cheap canned tomato sauce. Our other items, like the small dumplings and the baked oysters were okay, but my favorite dish of the evening was the egg noodles with vegetables, which is a side. It’s a shame that the food lacked flavor because the service and ambience were great.

Every dish we had was amazing. My personal favorites were the ahi with uni sauce and the scallops with pad Thai. Will definitely be coming back.

One of my favorite restaurants in Santa Monica. The service is good, and the food is outstanding. I had a spot at the kitchen bar, where I saw the amazing chefs at work.
