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.

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!
