About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.
Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.

Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

    Good food. Great server. At times the music was a bit too loud making it hard to hear and talk.

    The food was absolutely exceptional. Coming to a 9pm reservation; I expected my experience to be atypical. The nightlife here is quite vivid and was a lovely accompaniment to what was nothing short of excellent sushi. The best sushi I’ve ever had, in fact. Would absolutely go again- preferably at an earlier dining time

    Definitely fun restaurant. Servers were super friendly, although a bit slow. The food was only even asked the skirt steak was very good, and we sent back one of the sushi dishes. Lots of birthday celebrations with desserts with sparklers, which was fun.

    Date night!! Everything was great- the food, the service, the atmosphere… we ordered the garlic noodles with chicken, which was phenomenal, definitely will order again. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice, also phenomenal. We had three different rolls, the kamikaze, the Caesar, Chavez, and the Bushido. All of them were super tasty and well balanced. Will come again!!
