| - Asian fusion at its finest! Dined with three friends and we all agreed that the flavors were on point and the food was super fresh.
- Uni: 5 stars - how can you go wrong with creamy, buttery uni?!
- Hamachi: 4.5 stars - tender and delicious w/ the ponzu and garlic chip
- Ama ebi (live sweet shrimp): 4 stars - I love the sweet and meaty texture, but they didn't fry the heads!
- Salmon sashimi: 4 stars - good, but cut SUPER thin
- Garlic lobsta tempura: 5 stars - Fried food is always delicious, but omg, these were perfectly fried and seasoned (not too oily and the lobsta was cooked perfectly)
- Miso black cod: 5 stars - this was heaven in my mouth. Simple, delicate and flavorful w/ the miso.
- Yellowtail & whitefish tempura roll: 4 stars - delicious and buttery, but kind of forgot about it
- Seared scallops: 4.5 stars - I may be biased because I rarely meet a seared scallops I didn't like. Super meaty and big scallops that were seared perfectly.
- A5 wagyu smoked tataki: 5 stars - presentation was impressive. A5 wagyu. Need I say more?
- Seared foie w/ pineapple upside down cake: 5 stars - they gave a good portion of foie and the sweet, carby pineapple upside down cake was the perfect marriage to the fatty and rich foie
- Tom kha gai soup: 4 stars - great presentation. Good, but not the best.
-Crispy pan fried noodles w/ shrimp: 4 stars - great flavors and similar to the ones I had growing up in SF
-desserts: 4 stars - forgot the names of them, but they were yummy and had a good balance of flavors and textures.
Overall, great experience in a beautifully decorated dining room. The pacing was a bit off, but the waiter let us know that there are two different kitchens and they don't coordinate? Kind of odd for an establishment to quickly serve out the first portion and have us wait about 30 minutes for the next...
