    If you are looking for a brunch party atmosphere with delicious food, this is the place to go. I was not looking for that so it was loud but I still enjoyed my late brunch. The server was accommodating as the Open Table reservation did not reserve for 3 but only 2 but she was pleasant and still sat us promptly. I do recommend a reservation as it's not that big and appear to serve big groups. The server was busy but overall attentive. I do recommend the food. As for parking I would recommend parking on to Main Street its much safer, than the other streets l, the parking lot right next to the restaurant fills up quickly. Overall great experience for a busy party brunch spot

    Sophisticated and sultry Asian fusion in Hermosa Beach with a low-key, urban beat. Hokkaido Milk Bread with briny, chive spread melts in your mouth. The lamb chops were perfected grilled--tender and juicy. Order the dragon roll! Tons of Asian spirits, sake and liquors to sit back and relax with. Do not skip dessert. Matcha tiramisu and chocolate mousse with candied orange and blood orange filling were as beautiful as they were tasty. Bring your friends and enjoy the experience.
