The Duck Confit Paella was so good! Also the cod croquette and the tampers string beans, all delicately seasoned with a balanced texture and intense flavor. Would recommended 10/10 paying a visit and will be back in a few weeks :) This is a 5/5 spot in Cambridge and definitely up there.

★★★★★ 5.0 Marek Michalak · Jan 2026

A lovely and lively spot with great service, cooking classes and a top notch fusion kitchen! Food: Me and my partner dined together, but we also tried the takeout once. We sampled a number of dishes, which ranged from good to excellent. My top recommendations would for sure be croquetas with a tiny bit of sauce on top, the meat version of noodles which we liked better than the mushroom, and the wonderful desserts. Though many people loved ramen here, we found it slightly lacking. Service: that was a fantastic experience. Our server was one of the nicest we've had in all Boston area. Atmosphere: this place was very spacious, with an open kitchen and dim, warm lights. You just felt welcomed there. Would highly recommend.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Krishni Satchi · Feb 2026

we were excited to try based on reviews + menu. overall, food was below average and disappointingly bland. it did not come out hot when it needed to and was definitely overpriced for quality. we got: - chilled eggplant (6/10) - green crab laksa (2/10, very bland, not warm, barely any crab) - chicken karaage (6/10, chicken itself was okay - good texture but could have used more interesting seasoning, but the aioli tasted like absolutely nothing). - - We were excited for the culinary fusion but the food did justice to neither cuisine, and we left feeling price gouged. however, service was great!

I had the paratas bravas, cod croquettes, noodle, and ramen. Paratas bravas was great, cod croquettes was good, noodle was great, and ramen was great. Ramen's broth was incredible but the meat wasn't pleasant to bite. I liked the matcha cookie very much. It is an affordable place. The service was very friendly. Ambiance is nice. The place is kid friendly. They offer noodle without spice. Overall decent restaurant.

★★★★★ 5.0 Robin Cohen · Nov 2025

Outstanding, upscale food and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The blend of Spanish and Japanese cuisine is unique and works so well together. The suckling pig platter, the bao buns, and green beans were fabulous! Many of the dishes are perfect for sharing. They have creative cocktails and mocktails too. Went with a crowd and everyone loved it!
