About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighbourhood gem

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.

Visited yesterday and wasn’t too fond of the greeting, how they sit you down, or the energy around the bar. Kind of boring. Food was okay. Overly spicy on the noodles. Soy sauce was salty. Goyza was good. I enjoyed the pork belly.

We went for a date night and had a great experience! The ambiance is very tasteful: the music, artwork, cherry blossom and lights behind the bar. Everything is very hip! The food and services were great. I personally loved their gyoza and karaage shrimp. Prices are fair. I would recommend and will be back another time.
Cloak + PetalResponded on 1 September 2026
Manoela, Thank you for choosing us for your date night and for sharing such glowing feedback! We’re thrilled that the ambiance, from the music and artwork to the cherry blossoms, set the perfect mood for your evening.

Our group of six had a fantastic time. We had an early (5pm) reservation and sat at a high six-top. We ordered drinks and all were perfect! We had an amazing server who gave us recommendations for appetizers, rolls and entrees and we ordered everything! Every dish was delicious! Works definitely return!
