The food here is incredible, the cauliflower was out of this world. The pork belly was incredible. The chicken is always amazing. If you’re in South Bay, you must go to this Michelin star restaurant.

If you want to have a quiet and/or personal conversation, go elsewhere. Food and service is very good, but noise level detracts from the overall experience.

Sophisticated and sultry Asian fusion in Hermosa Beach with a low-key, urban beat. Hokkaido Milk Bread with briny, chive spread melts in your mouth. The lamb chops were perfected grilled--tender and juicy. Order the dragon roll! Tons of Asian spirits, sake and liquors to sit back and relax with. Do not skip dessert. Matcha tiramisu and chocolate mousse with candied orange and blood orange filling were as beautiful as they were tasty. Bring your friends and enjoy the experience.
