We first heard about this spot a few months ago after visiting La La Land Cafe and had it bookmarked ever since. When we saw their grand opening pop up on Instagram, we knew it was time—so we headed over for a Saturday lunch.
We arrived around 1:30 pm just as things were starting to buzz. Fortunately, we were seated right away, and by 2 pm the place was completely packed. The interior was cozy yet spacious, with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that we immediately enjoyed.
Here’s what we ordered:
Asahi Cold Draft
Crisp, icy, light, and incredibly refreshing. Exactly my kind of beer.
Sake Bomb with Asahi Draft
The yuzu sake really made this—bright, citrusy, refreshing, and smooth with a little kick. We loved it.
Bluefin Chili Ponzu Sashimi
A server recommendation and an absolute standout. Beautifully presented, with fresh, tender bluefin that melted in our mouths. The chili sauce added heat and texture, the watermelon brought a touch of sweetness, and the scallions tied everything together with a subtle aromatic note. Complex, balanced, and brilliantly executed.
Wagyu Tartare Crispy Rice (3 pcs)
Perfect bite-sized pieces. The rice was crispy and lightly charred, adding great texture, while the Wagyu was rich, well-seasoned, and buttery. The perilla leaves elevated the dish with a lovely aromatic finish. A favorite for sure.
Torched Salmon Nigiri (2 pcs)
Juicy, tender salmon with just the right amount of char. The yuzu soy sauce added a savory citrus boost that complemented the fish beautifully.
BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps
So many great elements working together. The BBQ beef was juicy, tender, and deeply savory. The miso sambal brought a subtle heat, while the cilantro and winter melon noodles balanced everything out. Wrapped in crisp lettuce, each bite was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.
Overall, we had a fantastic lunch and genuinely loved everything we ordered. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back to try their maki, hand rolls, and more nigiri—can’t wait to return.
