Great food for DineLA! We've come before for DineLA and it's been usually great with awesome music & atmosphere. This time around, they kept forgetting our dishes that were on the DineLA saying our dishes came out but they didn't. We were seated outside but it was freezing even with the heater. Also, the people at the table behind us were smoking, so it smelled smoky the entire time. The saving grace was that they offered us the salmon truffle for free even though the online DineLA menu said it was part of the deal. Also, our waiter, Anthony, offered us a complimentary sake to make up for all the mishaps from the night. He was pretty attentive throughout the night and so was the manager.

Wow my friend treated me to a birthday dinner here and it was absolutely delicious!!! She's been raving about this spot for a year now and it went above and beyond what I expected. The brussel sprouts, crispy rice, salmon miso dry sashimi, and wagyu gyoza are a must try. My bday cake came with fun sparklers and it was so cute to have the tables around us sing happy birthday. The service here was great and we felt very taken care of. My only note is how loud it is in here! It was hard to chat and even hear the server at times. But whoever was on aux needs a shoutout - music here is great and overall immaculate vibes!

Went for happy hour and it's literally happy HOUR one hour 5p-6p. It was a good hour though. The yuzu martini was perfect. It had the perfect blend of sweet and tart. The rolls we tried were all flavorful and good. The service was good. Cam had our drinks on point. Parking is valet or street. I went on a holiday so street parking wasn't bad at all. Would definitely return

Have heard a lot of good things about this place and decided to finally try it out since we had a special night to celebrate. After working in restaurants myself for over a decade, I will say that not only was the food quite amazing, what makes the dining experience really reach the next level is the staff! The host staff was warm and friendly, our server David was the best of the best with his service, food recommendations, and genuine care for our experience. Seriously next level!!! The support staff also gets top marks for their attentiveness and customer service. The restaurant is beautiful and well structured, but the only notes I would have is that the bathrooms could be updated to match the restaurant experience, and PLEASE add paper towels to the bathrooms so that I don't have to touch the bathroom lock and door handle on my way out with my freshly washed hands. Top notch dinner out with the wife! Thank you for an amazing dining experience!
