Definitely a fun place to party and eat. The setting was very cute and Asian style. They even had Tori gates leading to the bathroom. Our waitress was so nice and the food was so amazing. 100% recommend for people who love loud music and Asian fusion food. The only thing that was a little frustrating was finding parking to get there since it was in the busy part of downtown San Diego.

I haven't been here since it was LAVO and this new restaurant is fantastic! We had reservations but it wasn't crowded, so we're seated immediately. We went for Happy Hour and it's everything you hope a HH to be...great selection and lots of options, plus good prices, and longer hours. Everything on the HH menu was $10. We got: Pork Belly Boa Buns - some of the best I've ever had! You get two. They are large in size and the pork belly was so tender! Potstickers - very good! Chicken Karaage - delicious and large portion R... read more

So I have to say my friends and I stumbled into this place, stumbled as in dodging the large crowd during comic con yesterday. There were five of us and fortunately we were able to get a table immediately. All of us enjoyed our meals. I ordered the pad Thai and I expected it to be just really expensive and mediocre, but it was actually quite delicious. The vibe inside the restaurant is awesome. The music was great. There was a live DJ music and the colors were nice. Bathrooms were clean. Servers were friendly and dressed up... read more

Food great! Shrimp appetizer had light and therefore perfect tempura. We were the first for lunch today during the start of Comic-con, and got excellent service. The filet mignon potstickers were nice. Grilled teriyaki chicken had both white and dark meat that I appreciated with a few vegetables. Rice cooked nice. Overall it was a very nice lunch and I would definitely have the shrimp appetizer again. Ambience very cool. Definitely worth the stop!!!
