Everyone wants to dine here and very popular spot!! It is part of the same restaurant group, Kei Concepts. You must make... reservations via Resy and they require a deposit in case of cancellations or no shows within 24 hours of reservation. It is $30per person if anyone in your party is a no show. Day time it is N?p Café and night time it is Gem Dining. Something I learnedrecognizing same location as N?p Café! Great multipurpose use! My party ordered so many items. We basically tried half themenu!! - Oysters half shell with 1 oyster uni add-on for extra $5 - Beef Wagyu Carpaccio (no picture) - Soft shell crab - LomoSaltado Octopus - Whole grilled branzino - Laksa risotto - Braised pork shank - Tom Yin Linguini - P.C.S. cocktail Don't adduni on your oysters. It is $5 add-on and not worth it. Puny piece. I'd say all appetizers are star choices among the menu. Theoctopus was cooked perfectly and had plenty of acidity and savory balance. Soft shell carb was excellent! Savory and crunch fromthe fresh fried crab. I would order all appetizers again except for oysters. Unless you know what kind of oysters you getspecifically, don't get it. Main entrees were pretty good but not shout out worthy. My fav was the Branzino since that's bestway to know how fresh their seafood is and it was definitely fresh! Tender and juicy freshness. The pork shank, Laksa risotto,and Tom Yun Linguini were all very heavy, creamy, and spicy. Tasty but was just too heavy. If you order these, don't order toomany appetizers. These entrees are so food coma level heavy!! Felt like I finished a buffet after dinner! We were going to getthe beef cheek sisig but waitress was Filipino and felt the Pork Shank was much better option. I do not agree lol. I wish wewould have gotten the sisig even it if isn't made traditionally. Oh well. We ordered so much that there really is no need tocome again. This is a one and done type of visit. Now we know the food and we can move on to other places hah Read more
Went there for my anniversary dinner. Absolutely amazing! Our server were super nice and attentive, same with the rest of the... staff. Food was incredible, we left the restaurant feeling full but not bloated like other places we went to. Would recommendfor special occasions. Read more
Truly a gem. Possibly the best Asian fusion food in Orange County. The oysters, kampachi crudo, and Singaporean chili crab were... just a few of the many delicious dishes we tried. Will definitely be dining here again. Outdoor seating is a huge plus aswell. Read more
Best Asian fusion restaurant in OC. Enough said. Try the laksa risotto, mushroom and wagyu, seared scallops and octopus... appetizer. The sea bass was wonderful but maybe avoid the clams. I actually didn?t think the steak was all that flavorful. Ilike a more smoky flavor and not every restaurant smokes their meat enough. Read more

We ordered the soft shell crab and octopus as appetizers. The crab was soft and juicy, with the chili sauce balancing it well.... The octopus was well grilled and tender. The aji sauce enhanced the flavor of the octopus as well. For the mains, we ordered thesquid ink pasta and laksa risotto. The waft of tum yum sauce can be smelled and the flavor was spot on with a nice spicy kick. Ithink a slice of lime will help balance the dish more. I like my pasta on the softer side so it matched my taste. The laksa wasa bit sweeter with a hint of spice but the seafood flavor comes across excellently. You can tell a lot of time went to make thebroth. The crab was fresh and tender. To finish, we ordered the sticky toffee pudding. The drama was surprising and the puddingwas warm and sweet. Went well with the ice cream and whip cream. A great way to finish the meal. Read more
