It is a very popular location in San Diego, I would suggest getting there early to put your name on the list! Especially because the kitchen closes 1 hour before closing time. For this meal we only made it for the #saltededamame and the chicken gyoza (#dumplings) on the otsumami menu. Both appetizers were fresh and spiced and the drinks were citrus and sweet #tea ceremony and #draftbeers ### kellysfoodblogs — 4.2/5 · Oct 12, 2022 Tea ceremony was very refreshing, made with matcha, lemon, cucumber, mint, and pineapple. My favorite roll was the Dirty Yokozuna, it was fried crunchy with spicy tuna and tempura crab on top! Hamachi & tuna in the Harajuku pop star roll was fresh. Wagyu was the highlight of Tokyo gangster. Love the spicy black garlic sauce on it. The interior design is very unique. This place got such great vibe. ### dinewithdani — 5.0/5 · Oct 19, 2022 It’s Wine Wednesday 🍷 ### thedoubleeaterz — 5.0/5 · Sep 24, 2022 Sashimi Platter 💕🍣 So Fresh ‼️ ### oliviaeide — 5.0/5 · Mar 8, 2023 Tried Cloak & Petal and I was NOT disappointed! 🥰😍 incredibly tasty and ecletcic tokyo drift vibes.
