We stopped by here 2 days in a row for a quick drink/appetizers before & after our scheduled dinner elsewhere in the Gaslamp. Service was great and food/drinks also very good. The price difference between Happy Hour and regular pricing is quite significant, so take advantage of HH if you can.

The food and ambiance were great! Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the drinks. Thankfully, our server was kind enough to swap them out. However, it was difficult to get their attention since they were busy. We weren't a big group, so we felt a little neglected. Overall, the staff was nice, but they may have been understaffed.

Great food and service. Located very centrally in gaslamp district, this restaurant has a nice menu of different Asian cuisine. My wife and I got the crab rangoons, filet mignon potstickers, black cod, and a few other dishes which were delicious!

I have been here for dinner 3 times and everytime is so special. The food is absolutely wonderful, the lamb chops are a must have, the pad thai noodles are so good, and of course the sushi! Definitely get yourself self the Geisha-rita to start. One of the best Margs in SD. The atmosphere is cool and vibey. The service is very good and the staff is very attentive. You have a lifetime patron.
