| - AMAZEBALLS WOW WOW WOW MIND BLOWN!!!
I honestly was EXTREMELY surprised with this place. I definately came in here having no idea what the place was because my friend got me a gift card to this place for my bday & it was well worth the try.
The decor of the place was very modern & simple. All the tables were spaced out nicely & each table also had a little cubby on the side to hold the menus which I thought was freaken CUTE ahahhaha. When you look from outside the resteraunt it looks like they are closed but it's definately open till 12 on weekdays & 2am on weekends
We were a party of 4 & it was around 11 pm when we arrived thinking they closed at 2am which was totally our bad but they took us in welcoming & they even had happy hour going on. We decided on getting the OMAKASE which is the chefs choice of whatever they want to send out of the best stuff. EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS. PLUS there were 4 of us & we were FULL up to our throats.
They started us off each w/ our own little amuse made with cherry tomatoes tossed in a citrus pesto sauce. FINALLY we decided on 11 COURSE OMAKASE only because I wanted to splurge since I was about to go into surgery in a few days...
//STARTER//
CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS - $6 w/ lemon chili, mint, & puffed rice was absolutely FABULOUS! I hate Brussel sprouts but the way it was just perfectly prepared w/ the citrus touch it didn't have the bitter taste that normally come w/Brussel flavor.
//COOL PLATES//
TUNA TATAKI - $14 seared big eye tuna w/celery & red onions drizzled w/ spicy ponzu reduction & sprinkled w/ crispy garlic chips another amazing flavor in your mouth
MACHI RINGO - $12 yellowtail sashimi served w/ slices of thin apple in between each piece of sashimi w/ sweet chili zu sauce & negi. A refreshing different blend w/ a bit of sweetness & zest
9 PIECE SASHIMI - $25 came w/ a whole flying fish (head & body & all), Spanish makeral, & tuna
SAKE KALE - $14 cubes of salmon sashimi & asian pear served w/ crispy kale chips in a delicious citrus sauce. The combination of everything was refreshing!
//HOT PLATES//
SAKE COCO - $11 cooked Scottish salmon in a spicy coconut cream sauce w/ baby bokchoy, cherry tomato, sweet chili, & curry oil. Even though I don't like salmon... this dish was quite tasty
LOBSTER - $36
MEAT CANDY -$14 double cooked caramel glazed pork belly, kimchi apple, cilantro & tofu puree literally just melts in your mouth... words do not give this dish justice!
MACHI UNI - $15 hamachi, sea urchin, ikura, koshihikari, green onion, shitake, baby bokchoy. Simple rice turned into buttery goodness w/ the sea urchin topper.
WAGYU BEEF - $22 bell pepper relish, leek-sweet onion puree, dehydrated carmalized onion
//DESSERT//
MANGO COTTA - the mango cotta is filled with mango egg yolk & served w/ crushed pistachios & mango sorbet on the side
All of this deliciousness filled all four of our bellies full for a total of only $175 for the omakase... & they have the best wasabi which seems like the fresh root wasabi mixed w/ the regular paste SO GOOD!!!
