Little Sky Bakery opened at 11:00am, despite the hours listed online. And there was hardly a wait near opening time, as well as friendly service at the counter. Plus, the place offers such a diverse menu of pastries, sandwiches, and desserts, it was hard to make my selection. I ended up getting the shrimp egg and chive pocket (heated), peanut butter mound cookie, and seasonal mini banana bread (made with bananas, blueberries, walnuts, chocolate chips, and raisins). The shrimp egg and chive pocket was okay. Filled with tasty ingredients but the wrap wasn't very appealing to me. This had the taste of a giant asian dumpling, but dryer. Thankfully, the other items were outstanding. That banana bread had so much yumminess packed into a cute little loaf. Lots of blueberries and banana flavor, just a few walnuts, raisins, and chocolate chips in the mix. It was like banana nut bread and a blueberry muffin all in one... with chocolate! Even the raisins couldn't ruin this for me. The peanut butter cookie was even better. Again, light on the chocolate chips, but that natural peanut butter flavor and perfect chewy consistency made this addicting.

We got the Iki bento a few weeks ago and loved it, so we came back for their lunch omakase on a…read moreFriday, and it did not disappoint. The space is intimate, with only 8 counter seats, so you're served directly by chef Li. To my surprise, all of the seats were full on a Friday at lunch. I didn't want to drink too much at lunch, but they had a $29 sake flight of three 1.5 oz pours, which was just the right amount to pair with the sushi but still be able to go back to work after lunch! Pre sushi: 1. Pickled baby ginger: I love this stuff, and he was good about refilling it 2. Crab with Japanese citrus jelly and shiso: a generous amount of sweet, fresh crab 3. Ankimo: two pieces, served with wasabi 4. Signature octopus: massaged 1 hour and stewed 1 hour - very flavorful and tender 5. Steamed abalone: served over soba with abalone liver sauce 6. Seaweed shot 7. Chawanmushi with scallops and caviar Sushi: 1. Hokkaido scallop with yuzu and sea salt 2. Spanish mackerel 3. Akami: lean bluefin tuna 4. Kinmedai: golden eye snapper, torched 5. Isaki: 3 line grunt fish 6. Kelp cured black snapper, shiso leaf, yuzu 7. Chutoro 8. Saba: mackerel with kelp 9. Otoro: torched, topped with uni The scallop and kinmedai were the highlights for me. We also got one of the à la carte add ons: the hand chopped fatty tuna and uni hand roll. To finish: red miso soup At the end, you can watch the chef preparing the bento boxes, which was a good reminder for me to keep my eye out for the next available pickup. The fish was high quality, and the pieces were cut to the right size (I've been to way too many places with unappealingly large cuts). Each course was thoughtfully prepared, and pacing was consistent. For the quality and quantity of food, as well as the service and dining experience, this was a hot deal for $125 a person. We will definitely be coming back!

It was fried exceptionally well and the batter was light and went well before the nigiri portion of the menu. My only criticism was the amount of up charging on additions when an omakase should already encompass the items. I would definitely recommend at least trying once! Service was exceptional as expected and the chef was a pleasure to watch. I really liked the ambiance here that set the mood for the meal!

It also didn't seem like that many people were coming in for their reservations. But the patio was fine and cozy also. Just that the vibes inside vs outside are vastly different and I would love to come back to dine inside. The food is delicious. Both my sister and I have been to Spain before and thought the food was pretty close to what we had in Spain. Our favorite tapas we tried here was the oxtail canelones. Flavorful and beautifully presented. The churros bravas was also really good. Not usually a fan of potatoes anything myself, but it was soft on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside. Didn't care much for the empanada so I'd say that's a skip. It mostly tasted like marinara sauce on the inside. We weren't super hungry so we just ordered one of the main dishes, the pulpo à la brasa. Very tender octopus and flavorful. For desert, I love a good flan and this one was good! Not overly sweet but you could taste the vanilla and even see the black specks of it throughout. I appreciated that our waitress warned us away from getting the peppers tapas because they were more on the spicy rather than sweet side. The prices really weren't that bad for the location and pretty comparable to anywhere else around the bay. Would love to come back and dine inside and try the paella that we didn't have time for that night.

Wish there was a tiny bit more seafood but it was fresh and served on the hot plate which kept the food warm throughout the meal. Also tried the chicken karaage and veggie tempura. Flavor of the chicken was great but it was a bit chewy. It said it would take 20-30 min for the okonomiyaki but it felt like the food came out much quicker than that.

The only one downside (if any!) was that the chips that came along with the Poké appetizer were a little salty, but I don't need chips to enjoy the fish!
