Upscale vibe, standout cocktails, but inconsistent kitchen. We had a pleasant evening here; the ambiance is upscale, modern, and genuinely fun—perfect for a date night and first date. Our servers were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The cocktails were the highlight, specifically the clarified coconut drink. On the food side, it was a bit of a mixed bag for the price point ($115/person). The taro puffs, pork chop, and mochi were good and the only dishes I’d reorder. The tuna poke, rice, black cod, and baked Alaska (very disappointed) didn't quite hit the mark. We also noticed a significant lag time between our starters and mains. While it’s a great spot for a drink and the atmosphere, the food value doesn't quite reach the level of competitors like Kokkari. I’ll give it another shot in the next couple of years. Pro Tip: Parking is extremely difficult—take a taxi.

Excellent service & extrem friendly staff! The food, we had the swordfish was really good - lovely flavor combination! We had as starter the bao, which was ok , but the flavor profile was a little too boring to me ( especially after comparing it to the fish !) As appetizer , we had the calmari - the whole combination didn't work for me - broccoli too dominat & only little pieces of calamari. The fish definitely a 5 star, the bao , 3 star, the calamari 2 . Dessert : matcha & passionfruit/ lime cheesecake = really liked the flavor and the cardamom cream !

A nice elevated asian inspired restaurants. They have a wide range option of dishes that you can enjoy from a small dishes to large dishes. I would say overall experience is 4.5. Their small bites such as Tuna Poke and Duck Liver Mousse are executed well. Not an unseen or super creative dish but it’s just simple and delicious. The kinilaw is packed with various flavor. It’s more balance than a typical kinilaw that I’ve had which is good. The sword fish katsu personally fall a little short for me. The fish was executed well but I feel the sauce doesn’t showcase their work like other dishes. To me when the sauce is on the mild side, it should be complex. Since the fish katsu (fried fish) is already intense with fish flavor and frying also makes the dish richer. So, I would expect the sauce to held up to the fish itself. Desserts are great overall. Anyway, it’s a good place if you expect a good time

Good spot for a date night in Nob Hill. Good appetizers and filling entrees. We ordered the tuna poke which was fresh (but nothing special), the croquette with caviar on top was a tiny bite for $11 so we wouldn’t recommend it. The scallion noodles were just okay, I wish the noodles absorbed the sauce more since it was bland. The spam musubi rice bowl was a hidden menu but it was something anyone could make at home. Our last order, the wagyu zabuton is what saved the experience for me - it had a delicious smoky char, tender medium rare, and a good portion size. Overall it was a good experience.

My partner and I left feeling pretty underwhelmed after our visit. The service missed the mark - the staff didn't check in on us and felt a bit robotic overall, which made the whole experience feel more transactional than enjoyable. The food was decent, the highlights of our meal were the wagyu steak and duck liver bite. Overall, it wasn't enough to bring us back.
