Had a good late sunday lunch for their happy hour. Restaurant was empty i guess at an odd hour but the food and service was great. The roasted oysters for the specials the server recommend were amazing. Oysters were fresh and the sauces complemented well.

While unable to make it during Happy Hour, I still think the regular menu is pretty well priced for the amount of seafood you get! Lychee martini was really good, and the oysters and mussels come with various sauces and bread buns. Both were great. The oysters were raw not cooked, for anyone wondering, and the mussles weren’t rubbery and came in a great sake broth. Made a reservation so there was no wait time but it still wasn’t overwhelmingly crowded and the atmosphere is chill, servers were super nice and accommodating to any allergies.

AMA on Downing Raw Bar absolutely blew us away. Every single dish we tried was exceptional. The sashimi salad was so fresh and vibrant, and the oysters tasted like they came straight from the ocean. The yellowtail jalapeño was hands-down the best we’ve ever had anywhere—perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor.
The surprises didn’t stop there. The mushroom fried rice was unlike anything we’ve had before—deep, earthy, and completely addictive. The chicken wings and chicken quesadillas were creative and so satisfying, while the cod cakes were out of this world, crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy inside.
To top it all off, the lychee martini was fantastic—not overly sweet like many places make it, but smooth, refreshing, and delightfully potent.
The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Service-top notch! We can’t wait to be back!

First things first, the food here is ABSOLUTELY impeccable, exceptionally top notch (apparently when I went with my date, the food inspector showed so they were being extra thorough in the kitchen that night). My date and I split the Octopus, Roasted oysters, Lobster boa buns and a round Raw oysters. The chili sauce the octopus came in was a beautiful blend of spices with a touch of garlic, highlighting the rich tenderness of the cephalopod The roasted oysters came in this pretty silver shell dish and had this gorgeous creamy texture that was only highlighted by the sauce it came with. All in all, all of the seafood was super fresh, tender and extremely well prepared. The ambience of the restaurant itself felt very classy and sensual, with it’s dark mood lighting and framed black and white photos. The serving staff was quick, efficient and attentive; even with the inspector being there which I’m sure was an added stressor. Definitely recommend this place for a great date night, birthday celebration or if you just happen to really love well made seafood also for fans of Pinot Grigio, try the Muscadet! It’s super similar but with a crisper feel

Ama Raw Bar provided us with a wonderful experience in their West Wing room. We reserved the private space for a birthday (around 25 people), and the staff and owners were nothing but welcoming and accommodating to our group. Not only that, but they were genuinely nice and fun to talk to. Communication when it came to reserving the space was prompt and clear, and they even adjusted the room layout to better accommodate our party. A few of us ate at the restaurant before the reservation, and the food, drinks, and ambiance were lovely.
I will definitely recommend this spot to those around me, for both a great dinner experience and private events, and am looking forward to visiting again.

I hosted a private event here & had an amazing experience from start to finish. The event coordinator, Carly was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the planning process completely seamless.
Brandon, the general manager, and the staff — including Faith and Joshua & others, were wonderful. The service, food, and overall vibe were exceptional, and our guests kept commenting on how great everything was. Thank you all!!
We’ll definitely be recommending AMA for private events and look forward to continuing to support the restaurant.

Our third place
This is our favorite bar in the city and we always have a great time there.
The drinks are great (the Mezcal Palawan is great in the winter and in the summer).
The oysters are delicious, with the best condiments (scallion ponzu, gochujang cocktail and lemongrass mignonnette) — with one of the best raw bar happy hours you can find.
The rest of the menu is delicious: a true feast for seafood lovers (from the raw bar to the warm dishes), with great options too if that’s not what you love (don’t sleep on the rich Mushroom Udon).
Above all the team is so kind and friendly: they truly embody the meaning of hospitality, and you’ll want to come back just to feel a warm welcome that’s so rare in big cities.
This is the place you wished you had discovered sooner.

This place has truly become my go-to spot. I absolutely love the food — it’s always delicious and consistent. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. But what really sets it apart is the staff Ley, Faith and Brandon; they’re friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel special. It’s a place that keeps me coming back again and again.

This place was so good and fresh. I went with my siblings for happy hour and we shared the angry mussels (a MUST) and a bunch of oysters (you couldn’t beat that happy hour price.) Everything was so fresh and delicious. The service was great and so were the drinks. We all said we’ll be back!
