We started with the filet mignon dumplings and sesame chicken karaage. The dumplings were kind of just average but the chicken was really good. Then we got the flat iron steak and spicy tuna and tempura rolls. The sushi was good but pretty average. The steak was ok but underseasoned. The brussel sprouts and potatos with the steak were great though. Also the $10 side of rice was undercooked. Overall pretty hit or miss.

Great food and service! Martin took care of our group and did a great job! Food was delicious and great atmosphere! Would highly recommend the crab fried rice and the pot stickers!

What a BUMMER! We made our reservation over 2 weeks in advance. When we arrived we were told there was only bar seating available with a small table and stools, dining room was not available (even though we had a reservation). We ordered drinks and were told they were out of the wine so I picked something else …which was fine…but they brought me something completely different which was not good. We ordered the yellow tail and scallop appetizer. The yellowtail was 5 very small pieces ($23) but flavor was pretty good. The scallop appetizer ($22) was essentially a single scallop sliced thin with a few scallions sprinkled on top. No taste. Server mentioned that this was not usually how it was served but the kitchen was really busy with some larger parties. Bummer when you pay $ 26 for an app! We ordered the lamb chops – 3 small ones ($24) which were plain and did not have the sauce as stated on menu. Dan Dan noodles ($28) were ok. Second round of drinks …they brought the wrong wine (again) and brought my husband’s gin and tonic ($17) in a plastic cup …not sure why…we were sitting inside . There was a significant wait time for all drinks and food. Overall the experience was very disappointing. I am not a negative person and have a hard time leaving negative reviews for any restaurant / bar/ hotel or company (see my Google review history) but we are also so disappointed with the food, drinks, and service of this expensive restaurant that we wanted to share our experience with others who are choosing where to celebrate their special occasion, or date night. I highly recommend considering alternative options as we have had much better food and experiences in many other restaurants in SD.

AKA Gaslamp was an amazing experience from start to finish. The interior decor is stunning – very stylish, romantic, and thoughtfully designed, with tons of great photo ops throughout the space. It’s the perfect setting for a date night or an upscale girls’ night out!
The food was just as impressive. The bao buns, sushi, and noodles were all standout dishes – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered was a hit.
The service really took the experience to the next level, especially Alyssa, who was incredible. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of. Her recommendations were spot-on and her energy made the night even better.
Overall, amazing food, gorgeous atmosphere, and top-tier service. Definitely a must-visit in the Gaslamp and a spot I’ll absolutely be returning to

Atmosphere had a very cool vibe and well designed. Went late on a weekday and it wasn’t too busy but I’m sure the place is popular on the weekends. Food was amazing in both taste and presentation. They may have a live DJ here on busy nights as there was a DJ station in the center of the restaurant.

I choose well for San Diego restaurant week using Know My Menu. Great tool!
The food was surprising with each bite and I loved the ambiance. As a bonus we had a dynamic and engaging server. Cru kept my table mate on his toes

It was a cute enough slightly gimmicky place but the waitstaff were really enthusiastic about their jobs. Food quality was higher than others in this Gaslamp district though and we had a nice time

Good experience here. Walked in with a medium sized group to eat and watch the boxing match. They were able to accommodate us and we enjoyed the food, all delicious and we ordered plenty of different items. Cocktails were also tasty. Beware that if you’re looking for a quiet spot, this is the opposite. DJ and dancing ongoing all night.
