WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionshipOur 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.

Among my chef friends and the epicurean elites, aka “foodies”, the conversation around great Chinese food was always centered around authenticity, with classic American Chinese takeout dishes not considered authentic. But, having grown up in the Chinese American restaurant my parents have worked at for the past 25 years, I’ve always seen it as a by-product of enormous creativity and ingenuity of Chinese Immigrants.

    We’re from out of town and I saw videos of this place online. I’ve really been wanting to go for months and we finally got the chance! I scared Myself on the way there after reading reviews, I was Worried it was going to be mid and I was Gonna disappoint my friends. All was well! We got there for our reservation at 6 and they didn’t even mind that 3 people dropped out of our group. Food was amazing!! The restaurant was so cute!! Really happy it worked out, maybe the reviews vary because it’s take out or Maybe they ate too late but it was fresh for us and tasted great. I loved The chicken fried rice and the mushroom dish! My boyfriend loved the orange Chicken! I think We got general tso as well and it was a little too soy sauce forward for me but that’s just preference!
