Our best intimate dining experience in town . The 4-course tasting menu changes every week or 2. Phenomenal wine list . 12 seats/service so be patient for reservation but it worth it

David Holtz

Such a good deal - 4 course prix fixe meal for $30! Reservation only, so text them to get a spot.

Megan Masters

This small resto is so Mission. Small + low-key, you can talk to chef Manny who makes those innovative bites. Come with an open mind and an empty belly and you'll have a great meal.

Ting S

4 courses tasting menu is $30 now, but still totally worth it. Go enjoy a very intimate and interesting experience.

Incredible tasting menu . The staff is super friendly and accommodating as well . Love the sake and beer pairings .

Brendan Curran

Prix fixe menu at an affordable price . Food is adventurous and the setting is unpretentious. Wait times can be an issue due to the size of the restaurant .

Andres Douglas

Amazing tasting menu for $30. Call as soon as you know you want to eat there. Limited seating , usually fills up days in advance.

I really want to like this place but the food is... way below average. Not only the food aren't very flavourful, all meat in their dishes have this weird mushy texture :(

Sit away from the Chef so everything they bring out is a surprise.
