    Came in to celebrate a birthday: had a reservation which we were seated immediately. Server was incredibly attentive and friendly especially as we navigated the drinks and main menu. Sweet bonus included candles on two desserts (one complimentary and one we ordered). I’ve dined at the San Clemente location but actually prefer this one. Birria tacos and Carnitas plate (crispy) with black beans it was delicious.

    Top notch, craft cocktails are what you will find with absolutely yummy tapas-style Asian infused foods. I love going here when I want a Japanese whiskey cocktail done right. Service is STELLAR, and reminds me of the high caliber service offered in Japan. I will definitely come back again!
