This is one of the better places to go for Asian fusion. I'd come back, if I had company.

We stumbled upon this place because Daikokuya had a wait and I had arrived to the airport starving from my 5+ hour flight from the East Coast.

The atmosphere is great in both the indoor and outdoor seating areas. The outdoor side has strings of Christmas lights and outdoor space heaters, while the inside area is cozy with a modern/industrial feel but probably has too many distracting flat-screen TV for my own preference.

The food is better than I expected (I grew up in LA but have lived on the East Coast for about a decade now) and helped me remember that California is the OG fusion food scene. I ordered the Italian Samurai burger which is served on a deliciously crispy brioche bun. The burgers are made to order (well done/medium/medium rare/etc.) and the standout part of the my burger was the tamarind aioli which added a complexity and interest to my dish. I got plain fries, which were ordinary but the place is known for their wasabi fries anyway.
