    I went to Sushi Palace with my wife on Valentine's Day. It was very busy that day, which is understandable. The food was so good that we decided to go there again today in the hope that it would be less busy. It is one of the best restaurants I have visited. And the price is very reasonable for the quality and the food

    Yummy food. Would get the seared toro and wagyu again. Place is really cute, although a bit quiet (but they’re in their soft opening so I imagine it’ll be more lively in the future). Service was also good! Price is a bit higher than a place like Kazunori, but still pretty good. Looking forward to trying them again. Also, parking validation is only for Farmer’s market lot, not the Grove.

    We had one of the best meals of our lives at Kato last night. Their Lunar New Year collaboration with Kasama was so incredibly delicious (every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced).
