I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while. They specialize in Asian Fusion and the food was quite unique. However, it was hit and miss due to some dishes being too salty or too sour. With some seasoning adjustments, their food would be much better.
Service-wise, the staff was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. They also played good music, but it was way too loud to have a conversation across the table. It’ll be nice if they can turn it down.
* The Croque 5/5 – This was one of my favorite dishes. The bread was soft and fluffy. The poached egg, mornay cheese sauce, and ham all combined to make a tasty explosion of flavor.
* Karaage Fried Chicken & Waffle 3/5 – The chicken was very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (4/5). Unfortunately, the waffle was dry, dense, and hard (1/5). The homemade Sriracha sauce tasted bad, very sour and vinegary.
* Sichuan Fries 3/5 – Good combination of flavors but way too salty.
* Scallops 4.5/5 – Really good scallop in terms of flavor and texture, topped with crisped garlic and sesame. Some of the toppings were burnt, though, so there was a slight bitter flavor.
* Pork Belly Porridge 0/5 – Intensely sour. Like someone squeezed 10 lemons into a single bowl. The pork belly was charred to the point of tasting burnt and bitter. The salted egg was very salty.
* Hangar Steak 3/5 – Very salty. It was also not tender or juicy.
* Longanisa and Eggs 2/5 – The sausage longanisa just didn’t taste good.
* Pandan French Toast 4/5 – Pretty simple but good. I didn’t taste a lot of pandan flavor, though. The French toast was soft, topped with whipped creme fraiche (similar to sour cream, but less sour) and banana.
* Baked eggs 3/5 – Interesting dish filled with silky eggs. The drawback was that it was very sour from the tomatoes.

10/10 food. 10/10 drinks. 10/10 service. 10/10 ambiance. This is how you do it. Everyone we met was so positive, friendly – very welcoming. The host was really kind and had good energy as the welcoming face of Sonder.

Cute date night spots with some refreshing bites. Servers all of them – kudos on great service, so friendly made our whole experience even more delightful. Great cocktails, must try the wings! And they had a seasonal rocky road which was delectable!

Look no further. If you like delicious food and creative cocktails, this is the spot for you. Incredibly friendly staff. I had the mushrooms, pork belly, and cabbage and all had amazing flavor. Can’t recommend the beet mezcal cocktail enough.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally impressive, but this restaurant truly delivers on both. Dara was amazing hostess to us, she was able to accommodate us.
I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends and family. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to go!

One of the best tapas restaurants I’ve been to in a long while. The curated cocktails *chef’s kiss* And if you’re indecisive, get the octopus and hangar steak. Won’t be disappointed!

Oh man, you guys are awesome! Really great hospitality. I really appreciate that. Parking was easy, no waiting around, and the atmosphere was perfect. Ideal spot for a late-night date too. Definitely coming back!

The atmosphere is really cool, they had a live dj spinning while we were there. Staff was very friendly and professional, the owner even came by to ask how we liked everything.
As far as food, its a bit hit or miss. Some stuff was amazing like the sweet potato, the chicken oyster, and the sum tom salad (fav dish I had). The pork belly was insanely tender and juicy but the sauce was really rich, not sure if I would get that one again. The cocktails were a bit on the sweet side. Not my favorite to be honest and especially for the price.
Its a new spot tho, so I expect the menu to change up as it goes.

Great date night spot or just a place to come chill and enjoy good food. The ambience is on point. The restaurant is very trendy and pleasant to be in. They also open late which is a plus because OC doesn’t have many late night spots with good food and good drinks. Will be coming back!

The food was amazing. The cocktails were delightful…I do believe this place may have had the best Paper Plane I have ever had. This is very very high praise. The pork belly was to die for. We had only cocktails and appetizers, I cannot wait to have a full meal here. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful and inviting experience.
