Best Date Night Restaurants in Japantown

Wonderful service and creative and delicious dim sum styled offerings. Our only complaint relates to the portion sizes, especially the vegetable dishes. The brussel sprout plate had approximately six brussel sprouts and another dish had five tiny bites. Surprisingly, the meat dishes were more generous, though obviously more expensive. A bit more generosity in the vegetable department would be appreciated.

Delicious food, everything we ordered was exceptional, quality ingredients, well prepared and delicious.

This was the best meal I have had in a while! Inventive dishes with great flavor, yet very accessible and well priced for the quality. It was fun to have smaller tapas plates to share and be able to try more delicious dishes!

The food quality at Octavia is very high. The chefs really know what they’re doing. We had a pre-fixe menu for Christmas Eve dinner and they accommodated dietary restrictions with advanced notice. They actually called a few days in advance of the reservation to confirm the dietary restrictions which was really nice. We had 9 courses I think and they were all delicious. My favorites were the soup and the pasta dishes. The service was also very good, the servers were very attending and accommodating. There was one dish I didn’t eat much of because it had radicchio in it which I don’t like, and our server offered to have the kitchen make me a replacement dish with a different lettuce instead. The only negative of Octavia is that it feels very cramped. The space is small and they squeeze in a lot of tables so you’re sitting basically on top of other diners and it’s a little awkward. Everything else was great though. I would definitely recommend Octavia as a good place for special occasions or bringing out of town visitors.

We visited this restaurant for a special occasion, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The servers were incredibly friendly and polite, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was also very accommodating of our food preferences, and every dish we tried was delicious and beautiful! The main dishes were filing and satisfying. To make our celebration even more special, they surprised us with personalized cards, a small gift, and a delicious cake! We can’t recommend this place highly enough!
