Someone told me of the fried rice and it was kind of basic. The cocktails were delicious. The wagyu beef was insanely salty… one shouldn’t feel sand when chewing succulent beef.

We went straight for the tasting menu and was very satisfied! Did not opt for the wine pairing as were lightweights but do enjoy a couple of reds and whites with it. Friendly staff, good relaxing atmosphere and walking distance from the JW Marriott and pretty much any event place in the area of LA LIVE! We were very satisfied with the quality of the food and the friendly service. Certainly coming back to this place when I’m back in LA!

Incredible cuisine here. Fully appreciated all that was put in front of my. Delectable from start to finish. Excellent service as well. This hit right just before a Lakers game too.

We had the tasting menu. Each of the individual dish tastes good but in a combination of a menu it was not in a smooth flow e.g. from light to heavy back to dessert .. the beef rib stew was so salty that could not be a stand-alone dish without any side dish. Maybe next time we will try to mix our own menu.

Ordered 4 dishes worth $120 and I couldve gotten better food somewhere else. Really not worth what we’ve paid for. That’s the most money we’ve spent on food on a restaurant that didn’t even tasted nearly as good as other (cheaper) restaurants. Didn’t even feel full after that. Very disappointing. On top of that, there is a 5% health fee for employees (you can ask for it to be removed btw) but charging so much for food and charging customers on top of that is absurd. Salmon Caviar could have been cut a little thicker. Only had 6 tiny pieces. Not even half an inch slice total for two pieces. Cod bites were good, but overpriced. Crab hand roll, more like rice with imitation crab. Salmon Lemon, was okay. MID. So disappointing, nice area but food definitely needed improvement.
