The Wagyu beef appetizer was super tough and chewy, which is the exact opposite of what Wagyu beef is supposed to be. The flavor was good, but I wore my jaw out, chewing it.

Food was served very erratically. Some food was cold. Four guests didn’t like the Dan Dan noodles don’t eat them but was not asked about them when the table was cleared.
Food was great and the service was outstanding. We had a great time.
Our first time here and we did the restaurant week menu. Everything was DELICIOUS!! The low lighting and awesome interior really set the mood and our server Emily was a gem.

The food & service was excellent! It's a new restaurant in Gaslamp , you should try it !
Obsessed with the lamb chops!!! The Tom kah and rice oh my goodness. It’s heaven in bowl. James was an amazing server. Very poised and knowledgeable
