Had dinner at this place on the second day I arrived LA, and the day before I left. I have to say the Uni pasta has been one of my favorite dishes which is creamy and fresh. So yum Meal comes with salad and buns too. Perfect to be shared by two. Definitely go back again next time I visit LA. The service is excellent, and environment is quiet and comfortable. Tip: To avoid waiting long line, suggest to go at 5pm right before it opens.

This place is consistently excellent. I've been here no less than 5x now and I've never, ever left disappointed. My favorites are the eggplant + bacon pasta (8/10) and the mentaincream pasta (9/10)). Nothing is ever too rich but it's always so flavorful. The portions are also quite generous so a hungry person will leave full and anyone else will leave with with leftovers. Their biggest sin is that they axed the beef stew!! That was so phenomenal and it's gone now. Other than that, I love this place.

This spot came highly recommended and it definitely lived up to the hype! We ordered the mentai, uni, and carbonara pastas--all three were excellent. The mentai had a nice briny, savory kick that coated the noodles perfectly. The uni was creamy and rich without being overpowering, and the carbonara was comforting with a great balance of cheese and bacon. Portions were just right, pasta was cooked spot-on, and everything felt well thought out. Definitely would come back again!

great pasta! for me the bolognese was a bit toooo heavy for my preference (too meaty) but my friends really enjoyed it so.... the uni cream pasta is to die for

I've passed by this place so many times and finally decided to try it. I'm glad I did. I love Italian food so I was interested to see what a Japanese twist tastes like. To start off, I walked here but I can tell that parking is kind of tough. When you get there, you check in on a self- service kiosk. I was in a party of two so the wait time on a Saturday night around 7 was about 10 minutes. We sat at the bar top with an unobstructed view of the kitchen which was really nice. The wait staff are all very friendly and the speed of service is fast. But the quality of the food is amazing! The burrata itself is 10/10. I tried a red sauce and cream sauce pasta and would definitely recommend the cream sauce more. Would highly recommend.
