This restaurant is a true GEM. Possibly the best dining experience ever, at least of the last decade. The quality of the ingredients, the care given to preparation and presentation were five star. From the “vibe” or feel of the entire restaurant, it’s clear and obvious that an immense amount of thinking, wisdom and collaboration has gone into this creation.

The Black tea old fashioned and chiltepin cobbler cocktails were delicious, as was the Yuzu Yellowtail crudo. The spice / heat level was perfect and not overwhelming. Salmon sashimi was fresh. We also enjoyed tuna and eel nigiri, salmon asparagus roll, seaweed salad and mochi ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend Obon!

It wasn’t busy and we were seated right away. Waiter was good. My in-laws asked to split an entree and they were served on separate plates which was good. My vegan tamale was tasty and had a like spice kick to it. Wife had the soup of the day, tomato bisque with chipotle. I had a taste and it was good. Also had a little spice kick to it.
