Amazing Christmas dinner here. The food was excellent and the service was kind and friendly. The pacing of the meal was perfect for a set course meal. The bunny mochi were not only adorable but so good I would eat one right now and everyday. The finisher of the wagyu caramels are so divine that we bought extra to bring home and share. They are fabulous.

I went during restaurant week and chose the pre fixe. I loved every dish! Dishes were unique and flavorful. I would definitely come back!

The most disappointing meal experience. We arrived 25 minutes early, and though there were empty tables, we were asked to wait outside, in the rain, because, “the kitchen was backed up.” They offer a 7 course set menu, or each course à la carte. The Butter Milk Fried Chicken with Adobo Butter Sauce was lacked presentation; it was just a plate of fried chicken. It was flavorless, dry, and rubbery, though the Adobo sauce was tasty and light. The Pan Seared Scallops, Bubu Araré Crusted Shrimp was well presented, with lots of flavors and textures, but was not hot when it got to us. The wine list is limited, not well curated and entirely overpriced. Parking is difficult. The interior has a plate wall, but is otherwise simple. The noise level is high.

The food was beyond words!! EVERYTHING was awesome!! The pad thai was my personal favorite, full of flavor! If you’re not a fan of spice, make sure to ask for them to dilute the spice a bit (it helps!!). The buttermilk fried chicken was excellent.
The mochi samples were great, my favorite being the chocolate, but all of them were surprisingly really good!!
AMAZING service. Our server, Derek, was so polite and friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable.
The dishes have fun food flavors that play with your taste buds! Overall, this is a very unique and underrated restaurant that I would recommend to any vacationers or locals!!

So yummy, each course a flavor bomb! Good price!
Went here for dinner with my husband, ordered the 7 course set menu and added the +$10 lamb add-on.
Every course was yummy and full of flavor. The main ingredients (chicken, lamb, pork belly, etc) of each dish were high-quality and well prepared. But what makes this dinner really special are the unique sauces that flavor each plate. My favorites: the “Miso Sesame Vin” sauce on the sashimi, and the “Shellfish Beurre Monte” sauce on the shrimp. My husband, not at all a veggie lover, even loved the Beet Lotus course (as did I).
For sugar-lovers, recommend adding the ice cream pie. This was like a super high end-carvel ice cream cake with crunchy cookie crumbles and rich rum-chocolate sauce. The coffee ice cream was just the right amount of bitter. (Sous chef recommended combining bites of the bunny dessert with this ice cream, great advice!)
The courses are very reasonable in size, especially for the price and quality. We had leftovers.
The restaurant was not crowded for a Saturday night (guessing because we went late the day before Easter), so The Sous Chef had time to come out and tell us about how the menu was cultivated. His passion for food was obvious. The line cooks here are also the servers, so whoever brought the food to the table was able to answer any questions we might have about ingredients, etc.
We will certainly come here again if we can.

I’m blown away by XO. The quality of this price fixe menu was unbelievable, especially for the price. Every dish had so much attention to detail, flavor, and was generously portioned. The staff is attentive, informative, and hard working. We’ll definitely be coming back!
