Food was unique. Very picturesque plating. Our service was very quick. We waited only 15-20 mins for food after we ordered. Quaint atmosphere. Not meant for large parties. We were given free champagne for our recent marriage :)

The food and service was amazing! We came down to monterey for a day trip and found this place on Yelp, did not let us down. I ordered the korean short ribs and they were to die for, great flavor and a decent amount of food on my plate for the price! My friend got the fish and chips and they were equally as delicious. Our server Juan was the best. Great service and amazing food!

Beautiful modern and popular Asian fusion in the middle of main street Carmel... It was the perfect respite after touring and a great introduction to the diverse flavors of the area. The decor had ultra cool vibes in a refreshingly sleek setting. The clientele was as diverse as the menu, tourists from all over the world seemed to be seated around us, varying in age families with older children to a table of would-be young fashion models dressed for a night out. The cocktails were welcoming and expertly presented, one in a tall Tiki-type ceramic cup reminiscent of cocktails from the South Seas. The other was a lavender infused martini, deliciously purple and although petitely portioned delivered a strong kick! The food was an eclectic blend of modern Asian fusion dishes. We enjoyed the crab cakes and the Kimchi Tofu Soup. The spicy Korean flavors hit the spot on a cold winter evening! We would love to visit again to give the other cocktails and dishes a try! Shout out to our server who was very welcoming and accommodating, checking on our meal and our experience several times throughout the evening!

I had reservations here for Sunday morning at 9 AM. We got there about 15 minutes early and the restaurant was quiet and we were able to be seated early. I had a strawberry mimosa, which I highly recommend (not too sweet at all). My boyfriend ordered the Pangea bloody Mary, which is basically a meal in itself! It is loaded with Gyoza, a taquito, Vienna sausages, and so much more. We shared the smoked salmon toast as an appetizer and I would have almost preferred to eat that as my breakfast because I loved it so much. For our main meal, my boyfriend ordered the crabcake Benedict and I got the traditional Benedict but with scrambled eggs. I was very pleased with the meal from start to finish as well as the service. Our server checked in on us on a somewhat frequent basis and was very friendly.
