It was such a great experience and the hosts and bartenders were very nice and accommodating. Shout out to Sam our bartender, she was so good and knowledgeable while still being super friendly and cool.

Excellent cocktail bar tucked inside of the bakery. Bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly. Atmosphere is fun but quiet. Sat at the bar and the service was great. Funnily, we were walking down the block looking for the entrance (did not realize the entrance was inside the bakery) and one of the bartenders saw us and pointed us in the right direction. All this to say, bartenders are friendly and helpful both inside and outside the bar!

The quality of the drinks and food was impressive. Such great balance of flavors and unique combinations of ingredients yet each felt familiar and spectacular. I was blown away by the black sesame old fashioned and the chicken, mushrooms and cucumber salads are all worth going back for again and again. Extremely high quality ingredients served with care and the highest level of service. It was a treat to spend time at this venue.

Just got back from a dream trip to Japan and needed my fix… I’ve always wanted to go here and finally went last night. It’s my favorite bar in San Diego. Incredible drinks, great food, Japan vibes are on point. I will definitely be coming back very soon.
