This restaurant's unique approach to fusion with excellent presentation drew my attention to the careful detail and style applied to every dish served. A great place to enjoy lunch with friends.

1st Thing You Need To Order: The Ceviche Mixto Appetizer, which not only sets the bar for the rest of the meal but displays the chef's expertise accurately. Calamari, Octopus, Shrimp and Fish with Hominy in addition to sweet potatoes. (Well done) roasted Corn and onions with a spicy lime juice marinade add a light, yet spicy kick.
Ordering system: Order at table, Old fashioned customer service with a smile. Be sure to tip :)
At first glance this restaurant may seem a bit on the pricier side, and in addition it is a bit hidden in a small strip mall in Lomita. Not to worry, for the fact that the chef remains versed in both Latin American and Japanese techniques and cuisine may impress you the most. For some reason the dishes served here feel completely 'California'. I appreciate the subtle yet captivating approach to Ceviche and must admit it is nice to see more establishments with a blend of options. Ranging from Sushi rolls of every calibre and portion to Sashimi, Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, among other favorites, this is casual seafood at its most unique in the South Bay.

Being Raised in East Bay, CA was a unique adventure to say the least. Although I only stayed until age 11 before moving to the South Bay of Los Angeles, Being near the Bay meant access to fresh seafood. Amazing Chinese restaurants and Sushi served in a highly esteemed fashion was an occasional treat as an adolescent, only sparking my curiosity until I wanted to learn more. Fast forward To 2019 and it's been an endeavor to learn as much about sustainable fishing practices since getting hooked on information provided by The Omnivore's Dilemna by Michael Pollan at age 20. Food Science and Sustainability has since been a keen interest of mine, to the point where I understand where and how we get our food completely differently. In doing this I have become more social and learned a great deal about Seafood culture and in addition respect for our Oceans.
