    Great food. Place was packed on a Monday night. When the menu says spicy - it means it. Spicy miso pasta is not playing. Food was delicious. We will be back.

    Feels like you're in the cutest LA restaurant in the middle of Orange County. Great food, ambiance, service, drinks, all without having to fight traffic down to LA. Everything on the menu is amazing and will not disappoint you. Flavors are familiar but feels new. Drinks are strong. Service is great.

    One of the best meals I've had in a long time! I started with the Yuzu Margarita and hubby had the Kyoto Old Fashioned. Both stellar and matched perfectly with our meal, which came out blazingly fast. First up was the Burrata Caprese. The Burrata sits in a yummy sea of slightly sweetened vinaigrette, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Then the popular Truffle Cheese Bread, also served with honey and two types of cheese. For the main, I had the Spicy Miso Carbonara, but cut back on the spice just a bit (which was perfect for me) and he had Black Cod and Clams. Every single dish (including cocktails) were to die for! Would love to try every single thing on their menu!

    Unique and delicious food with five star service in a beautiful ambiance. Came from south OC to try them and we were delighted. Our waiter alone would have gotten most of the stars for our review, but the kitchen also did an amazing job on our delightful dishes. We tried a few of their appetizers, entres and a salad all were very good and surprising, due to their uniqueness. The setting is also lovely and somewhat romantic.

    Atmosphere is very calming, tinkle lights shimmering and everyone is having light conversation with one another. The food was good I got the lamb rack with the sweet potato. Delicious. They know what they’re doing.

    Very popular restaurant and quite good, but not amazing. Service was good and ambiance quite nice too but, again, not a place I’d necessarily go out of my way to revisit.
