WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.
Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.

Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

    Nice decor with graffiti, murals, and anime. Sushi was prepared quickly and wasn't too expensive given the setting. They had some nice nonalcoholic cocktails. The Let's Face it, You're Basic roll had a little too much sauce and crunchies. The karaage cauliflower had lots of super tiny pieces (like grains of rice), rather than real cauliflower. But overall pretty good experience.

    Restaurant is adverted as a sushi place and they charged us for ginger. That’s crazy to me! I’ve never seen that at any sushi restaurant! I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The rolls were not that good either!
