A daytime cafe helmed by chef Giles Clark, ex-sous at Yess next door. Food is a mixture of old-school Japanese kissaten hits with a heavy British influence and seasonal Californian produce. Chef puts in a few new items almost on a weekly basis, and I've enjoyed pretty much everything there. Pictured here in order are smoked bluefin tuna, egg salad sando with a tangy sweet relish, fried squid with saffron rice and bouillabaisse, locally foraged porcini risotto, and probably the best katsu sando this side of LA.

Looks fantastic — but what an unfortunate name!
Edit: LOL, can’t give an opinion here? Come on.
Reviews mention a lot of undercooked pork and chicken?
Katsu sandwich is so good. I unfortunately though had my entire bag with my laptop, keys and wallet stolen from their patio and when I asked them to review the tapes and gave them my contact info, they didn’t do anything at all. 🥲 Still make a nice katsu sammich though.
Watermelon cake was a thing of magic
The best
Woah that Katsu sandwich looks out of this world!
This place and Yess next door are two of my favorite restaurants in LA
drool-worthy
Did they actually cut the crusts off those sandwiches?! That would actually be incredible.
