A French-Japanese bistro in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.

Reservations are always recommended, but we are often able to accommodate walk-ins as well.

While we love dogs, we can only accept trained service animals (not emotional support animals) both in our dining room as well as on our outdoor patio. We appreciate your understanding.

Absolutely delicious top to bottom. Staff was incredibly informative and friendly, even gifting us dishes for our friendiversary. Flavors, textures and presentation on point. Interior has light NYC vibes in a great way.

Wonderful meal. Decibel Martini and Army Navy cocktail were both delicious. Black sesame Parker house rolls with butter and house cured ikura were so good! Abalone and shrimp pot pie was very good, and Koji-roasted chicken was juicy and wonderful. Very attentive service.

Service was lackluster. Was ignored for 10 mins before offered water or hand towels (when others seated after us were promptly attended to). Waitress was nice but distracted and ready to go home. For a big anniversary, just didn’t feel special enough for a milestone event. Would maybe come back to try the burger at the bar, but not for a special occasion.

The food was amazing and we can’t wait to go back to try other menu items. The service was outstanding. The kitchen was a little backed up so we’re hoping they get that worked out before our next visit.
