Connie Chiu

Amazing and beautiful experience. Each course and dish was delicious and unique. I especially loved the uni, roe , and wagyu dishes. Even the basic appetizers were good. Some of the best desserts .

Eater

Chef Niki Nakayama trained under Takao Izumida and Morihiro Onodera, composing stunning plates that are creative and flavorful. The wine selection might be the best in town for a sushi restaurant .

DailyCandy

Niki Nakayama did away with the nine-course dinner , so your only option is the thirteen-course kaiseki (or vegetarian menu ); you’ll be thankful for the extra rounds of Alaskan king crab and sea bass .

Eater

Dishes marry Japanese and Californian cuisines, a direct reflection of Nakayama’s heritage and her Los Angeles upbringing. Read more

The 13 course modern Kaiseki dinner was amazing! The food was delicious! The design and style of the food was pretty and neat.

Oliver

Go hungry to fully enjoy the 13 courses. Mind you, if youre still hungry, chef will throw in some handrolls . Making reservation again! I love this place!

Beth Steffel

Best dining experience ever. Had to wait two months for reservations . Totally worth the wait. Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing.

Each dish is plated beautifully and described to you before you start eating. The staff are very attentive and the pace of food is great.

a high-end kaiseki restaurant that serves nontraditional Japanese fare in nine-and-13-course meals (at $165 a pop). Chef Niki Nakayama does serve sushi , don't think that's the only thing you'll get. Read more

Alice Zhou

Go for the 13 course tasting instead of the 9, unless you eat like a bird. Delicious, beautiful food, but portions are like that of any other artisanal Japanese restaurant .

Absolutely outrageous food. One of the best meals I've ever had.

This was the best meal of my life. Every course just got better. I can't wait to (afford ) to go back.

Extraordinary omakase (except the pasta ). You must have the wine/sake pairing for the full experience.
