Best Brunch Restaurants in Japantown

Everything we had was excellent. The risottos and pastas were delicious. Burrata starter was also delicious. The house made pear tart for dessert was amazing. Service was excellent. The only issue is the noise level inside on busy nights - it's quite deafening. The later it gets the less noise there is as people leave.

The food quality at Octavia is very high. The chefs really know what they’re doing. We had a pre-fixe menu for Christmas Eve dinner and they accommodated dietary restrictions with advanced notice. They actually called a few days in advance of the reservation to confirm the dietary restrictions which was really nice. We had 9 courses I think and they were all delicious. My favorites were the soup and the pasta dishes. The service was also very good, the servers were very attending and accommodating. There was one dish I didn’t eat much of because it had radicchio in it which I don’t like, and our server offered to have the kitchen make me a replacement dish with a different lettuce instead. The only negative of Octavia is that it feels very cramped. The space is small and they squeeze in a lot of tables so you’re sitting basically on top of other diners and it’s a little awkward. Everything else was great though. I would definitely recommend Octavia as a good place for special occasions or bringing out of town visitors.

I love Ferm Lab …it’s like home…hahaha , whether they like it or not . Can’t fail with the Happy Hour Menu= Chicken Sliders , Duck fat French fries , Bees Knees cocktail My new favorite must have is the Poke w Taro Chips

The bartender was friendly and attentive. Good vibes with a smile

Solid food and been here a few times. Got there during brunch and highly recommend the Chicken Thighs.
