Wow!!!! Great ambiance, delicious food, and incredible service. The place is beautiful and has insta spots everywhere. We had lamb lollipops, crab fried rice, cod, filet mignon, couple sushi rolls, and ube cheesecake for dessert. Hard to pick a favorite. Just try it
Business response:

Business response:
Thanks, Shara! We’re so glad you enjoyed everything—Roberto will be thrilled to hear this! Hope to see you again soon!
What a beautiful restaurant with great vibes. I was passing by I decided to eat here since it was not overly crowded like the other restaurants by my condo. I ordered beef potstickers and padthai and both dishes were amazing. I didn't get the gorgeous waitresses name but the staff were all amazing. I completely dig the cool decor. I will definitely be back to experience the nightlife with friends in the near future.
Business response:
Thanks so much, Melissa! We’re glad you stopped in and enjoyed the food, service, and vibe. We can’t wait to welcome you and your friends back for a fun night out!
Personally I wouldn't come here again. The food was alright but nothing spectacular for the price. They were also constantly very busy and seemed short staffed so it took them a while to serve us and took a while to even get water. We actually had to ask for water since they never served us it. The mood is cool considering it's the gaslamp area but there's definitely other places I would rather go to for the price.
Business response:

Best dinner experience I've had inside of the United States, period. The service, food, and atmosphere was incredible. 10/10 recommend. Geovanni was phenomenal

Business response:
Thanks, Peter! Glad you enjoyed the apps, sushi, and drinks—and awesome to hear the service hit the mark too. Hope to have you back soon!
The food was not what we expected. It seemed like a fusion of sorts. The ambiance was nice. The service by Roberto was excellent however it seems that the young men in training should know what a proper spoon size is for eating. We were brought 2 serving spoons.
Business response:
Thank you, Suzanna. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated Roberto’s service. We’ll definitely address the spoon mix-up with our team to ensure better training and attention to detail moving forward.
Roberto was awesome. Loved our dinner here. Good was good. Service was excellent. Thank you!
Business response:
Thanks, Adam! We’re so glad you enjoyed your dinner and that Roberto made it a great experience. Hope to see you again soon!
This place was a little strange. They claim on the website to be the best Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego, it wasn't that great. We started with cocktails and mocktsils. I must say that the mocktail was excellent. We ordered the Thai green papaya salad, Maine lobster garlic noodles, and the miso black cod. Of the three, the black cod was the most successful dish. The lobster was seasoned but the noodles were extremely bland and overcooked to the point of being gummy. The salad was fine but very basic. The service was ... read more

Thanks for the feedback, Maisha. We’re glad you enjoyed the mocktail and cod, and we appreciate your honesty—your notes help us improve. We hope to have you back for a better experience next time.
