Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Long Beach

All I can say is it was a great experience...steak and sides were outstanding, very attentive server with a great personality There is nothing I could ask to be better except the floor needed a little attention. There was a napkin and other stuff on the floors in the back dinning room where we ate but they were very busy. Really no complaints. We will be back soon!

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

Amazing experience and delicious food and drinks. We had dinner before we arrived but ordered the corn dogs since we couldn’t resist! So flavorful and authentic. We can’t wait to go back and bring friends

One of the best meals we have had this year! Food and service were both wonderful.

Had a great time last Friday. Food was great and we topped it off with the dessert as well. Definitely would recommend to lovers of Japanese bar cuisine.
