This place is what gaslamp quarter in San Diego needs Great vibe, ambiance, colors, and amazing design that makes you feel like you are in Singapore or somewhere exotic. The Yellowtail scallions and the Tai Miso snapper were so so good and perfectly balanced. The Potstickers so delicious to start. Wagyu drunken noodles perfectly seasoned. We had the filet mignon with a special seafood sauce that melted in my mouth. The miso black cod was light and flavorful. We saw some sushi rolls being served at tables nearby but we were so full and will definitely try the place another time to experience those dishes. Server was very knowledgeable even for a place that is so new. We finished the meal with the red velvet chocolate lava cake, absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and anyone visiting San Diego. On weekends they have a dj playing till late at night that will for sure add a great vibe, we will definitely be back.

A few friends went here for the sippin santa and it was so fun! I have been here before a couple times during the regular season and it was great then too! The food is good, a tiny bit on the high end price wise, but not really out of the ordinary for the area and definitely not the most expensive place. Our server was the best and she gave us handmade magnets at the end. Loved it

Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.
