Peggy LiFebruary 27, 2017Squid ink spaghettini is amazing and can be made spicy since it uses red curry. For a party of two, ask for it to be split into two bowls.
Stella NovenaJanuary 20, 2017Try the Squid Ink Spaghettina ( I just died ) So good! The staff is very professional and helpful. Good vibes, coziness, style and, of course, outstanding food - what can be better?
Ryan Zhang 🤪November 13, 2017Squid ink spaghettia is insanely good. Don't expect Italian pasta, it's more like ramen, and really really good ramen. Oh also the uni flan is pretty good but they don't give a lot.
One of the few places you can make a reservation for weekend brunch. Deviled eggs are amazing. Spicy Bloody Mary's, great French toast. The standard breakfast fares like bacon and eggs are mediocre.
Karen LinSeptember 17, 2012Uni flan is delicious. Not fishy at all, very fresh. Wait staff and chefs are all exceptional, very knowledgeable about the food. Atmosphere/decor is perfect for conversation throughout dinner.
Jetset ExtraMarch 15, 2013The small plates menu features many recent additions, such as festive and picturesque Ika-Yaki, grilled squid in a spicy bean and smoked bacon soup with house-smoked yuzu kosho butter. Read more
Amanda NatividadOctober 22, 2014Beautiful outdoor seating area for brunch on a sunny day. Get the Squid Ink Spaghettina always. Incredibly fresh shrimp and pasta in a super savory, medium spicy seafood broth/sauce.
Jennifer BurlingtonOctober 19, 2014Bloody Mary is great. $1 oysters are totally worth the buck. But the lobster omelette was horrible!!! Seemed microwaved. Fun for trying new and interesting seafood.
GusJuly 19, 2017About the brunch: the french toasts are very juicy and the mascarpone with berries (blended) makes it perfect!
Ms HeleneJune 7, 2015Uni flan, raw fish sampler platter $22 and whole trout with crispy curry spiced skin $25
steenFebruary 16, 2020More than just “dog friendly”! They love dogs and dog parents. If you bring your dog, they’ll set you up with the Yappy Hour menu where you can have appetizers half price. 🐶
_October 25, 2016Uni flan is delicious! Drinks are well made. Don't bother with the sashimi sampler. Friendly staff.
PaulinaSeptember 11, 2015Solid Japanese-inspired, Asian fusion tucked away in the Design District. A little price-y, but your belly will thank you. Go for everything raw.

Clement NgAugust 16, 2014Great little seafood modern cuisine tucked away in the middle of nowhere. There is also a nice outdoor patio area with great ambiance.
Ken BergerFebruary 10, 2013Great atmosphere and excellent fish-based food. Nice big outdoor deck for nice days. And $4 mimosas for brunch. Langoustine Omelette (brunch menu) was wonderful.
Lillian YoungDecember 18, 2014Great Japanese inspired food. Try Squid Ink Spaghettina, savory and spicy. Order a few dishes to share and go family style.
Paul ArkApril 8, 2011The decor, ambiance, service, and food are wonderful. The U-10 scallops are insanely good, and the crab cakes and crostini are pretty damn tasty. Definitely worth making this place a regular hang-out
If you're into cocktails, you GOTTA try the Winning Ticket. This baby is all alcohol.. None of that juice ish! You'll feel the buzz after a couple of sips.. Kinda sneakers up on ya.
Chad BFebruary 13, 2013First time here and started with their smoked salmon flatbread (a meal in itself). For the main course: Rock and Scallop Risotto was delicious and hearty.
Abood AbussaudDecember 22, 2017The place is beautiful! And the food is great! Highly suggest it! Also there is an amazing outdoor seating
Guilherme ChapiewskiSeptember 13, 2012Want some wine? Try the "Cardella", a local family-owned production that (it seems) is known by the restaurant owner. Very exclusive and tasty.
jonathan gettingerJune 17, 2012Their special menu is woven with Asian-inspired dishes like a house-cured salmon croque madame with arugula, yuzu mustard, mozzarella, parmesan and a runny, poached egg.
Ruth JohnsonJuly 6, 2017Uni flan and tuna tartar are out of this world. Plus lovely team of people working there! Highly recommend.
SabinaJanuary 23, 2016Try the black cod and you won't regret it! The flavors and textures just mix so well together
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 31, 2017Came here after real estate meeting. Looks amazing but wasn't in mood to wait line. Get a reservation for next time!
lindsay m.October 30, 2011Super dog friendly patio and awesome staff. Bring your pup and try the fried baby eryngii mushrooms! Great wine, beer and cocktail selection, too.
If it isn't already sold out, order the uni flan with extra toasted bread.
AliciaOctober 26, 2014Brunch! $1 oysters on the half shell. The jerk chicken and waffles are amazing.
Great brunch scene. Dog friendly patio. Solid cocktails.
Rosanne ChanFebruary 15, 2014squid ink spaghettina was everything a delicious asian-fusion dish should be, so goooooood.
Squid ink spaghettini. Shishio peppers. Seasonal watermelon wheat beer. Fries with awesome aioli sauce
AuOctober 25, 2013The Niçoise salad is awesome!! Try one of their specialty drinks e.g., basil lemonade
Kimberly AginOctober 4, 2015You can't go wrong with the Squid Spaghettini and Honkara Extra Dry sake.
M Aldoss ♏April 4, 2016Amazing Restaurant with great Delicious Food !!!! One of the Best. My Recommendation Shishito Peppers, Kurozo Chicken Wings, Black Cod and (Squid Ink Spaghetti (DELICIOUS )) Highly Recommended 👍 👍
Harold CheckSeptember 19, 2011Get the Niçoise Salad! One of the best I've ever had. And such a beautiful presentation!
Happy Hour M-F from 5pm-7pm. $3 beers (Pilsner Urquell!), $5 wines and most bar bites for under $5 (Shisito Peppers and Skool Sliders).
Dylan HarringtonSeptember 24, 2016The Skool Fries were great but the fries that came with the burger were a little over powering.
