“It had a fabulous atmosphere! The people who work there were polite and took care of everything. The selections of tapas and sushi was authentic. It was comparable to Japan.

Bang for buck then I would say it waa on the high end. I would go again.”

Worth checking out - best suboreg anywhere, and try their mantee, harrissa and imam bayildi. Everything Fresh and tasty! So convenient for a busy household. Love this place and their kind service.”

“Omg the most delicious breakfast I have ever had , mr jamshid is the kindest person, thank you always and appreciate your neatness for this wonderful restaurant”

“This place has brought me good luck and good food.”

“The coffees were wonderful. I ordered The Kai and it was perfectly sweet and creamy. The only downside about this place is that it seems their breakfast sandwiches are prepackaged/not prepared fresh in house and the options were limited. not a place for a substantial meal but they’re good at what they do in terms of coffee. Also gotta highlight the atmosphere and the vibe in the place. Roomy seating, welcoming vibes. It’s the kind of place that you can comfortably sit and stay a while as you sip on your coffee.”

“Our party of four regularly treats ourselves to great meals, so we came to Somni with very high expectations—and somehow, they still managed to exceed them.

Every course was exceptional. I genuinely couldn’t fault a single dish. But what stood out just as much was the service and attention to detail. The team anticipated so many little things before we even had to ask: helping us identify the background music when we were curious, explaining the beautiful water carafe, having fresh napkins ready when we returned from the restroom, and countless other small touches throughout the evening.

One of my friends wasn’t particularly enjoying one of the wine pairings because it wasn’t quite their usual style. The sommelier noticed without us saying anything and proactively brought out a substitute sake instead. It turned out to be one of the best sakes I’ve ever had.

The food, wine pairing, non-alcoholic pairing, and the beautiful space were all outstanding. But more than anything, it was the level of attentiveness and genuine hospitality that made the evening so memorable.

Somni truly sets an incredibly high bar for what a three-Michelin-star restaurant can be.

For me, the evening was extra special as I was celebrating my “birth-month.” The team went above and beyond to make me feel celebrated, including a thoughtful gift, but what I appreciated most was the genuine thoughtfulness and attention throughout the entire experience.

The bar has been set very high from here. I have a feeling many future dining experiences will inevitably be compared to this one.

Thank you to the entire Somni team. Truly stellar.”

“I am so happy to find such an exceptional Neapolitan-type pizza joint in Los Angeles—and only a couple of doors away from my office. I’ve been back 3 times now, and will be back again for sure! My Italian mama would have approved.”

“Love Saltie Girl, ambience is warm staff welcoming and all the seafood is so creative - ive had the clam Chowder which comes with marbled potatoes crispy bacon on top and atleast 3 clams in the shell some of the best ive ever had. The fish & chips is divine with perfectly crispy fish and crispy and pillowy soft fries. Oysters were fresh and the bone in dover sole sublime - great drinks too my mom loved her totos straight up martini. All in all bit expensive but worth every cent while fining there or ordering in”

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!”
