Annette HarganJanuary 12, 2016My brother is a huge fan of salsa dancing. He lives in North Wales and came over to stay with me last year. As it's outside it was so much cooler than the other clubs nearby. Great location.UpvoteDownvote
lawrence durhamMay 20, 2014This special are great and plenty of food. The prices are great and the service is equally good. I've been here twice for lunch and would like to come back for dinner some day.UpvoteDownvote
Joseph CApril 25, 2015Really great food! Sushi is small in portions but, quality & taste are there. More laid back crowd & scene than say, their Pasadena location. Some staff may seem pretentious of you dress like at home.UpvoteDownvote
R.A. PickettSeptember 23, 2011Met the bartender Kristy at Brittania's. She told me about this place. Not only was bartender super cool and friendly but food was AMAZING! Check out upstairs patio. This is a Santa Monica hidden gem!UpvoteDownvote
Yuna 🇰🇷 ParkAugust 15, 2011LA-ers are spoiled. Outdoor space in a bar is something NY-ers absolutely cherish. Wokcano has 'em all beat (at least in Santa Monica). Head all the way upstairs for the best outdoor dance floor.Upvote3Downvote

Radairis DiazMay 24, 2017Food was delicious. The garlic noodle shrimp was to die for. Nice atmosphere too.UpvoteDownvote
Thai LiuFebruary 18, 2010This is a cool place to spend a night in Santa Monica. They have a large outdoor patio area that is hidden away a couple of stories up in between buildings. 1/2 of draft beer for happy hours too!UpvoteDownvote
Gary DownieAugust 31, 2013Love the moo goo gai pan. The Peking duck is very good. Outdoor courtyard is great for special events.UpvoteDownvote
Alicia SJune 18, 2014The club was the most fun I've had in ages! Great music, will be back.UpvoteDownvote- Reliam Inc.October 29, 2012Reliam employees attended the Startup Mix & Mingle event here, the courtyard is perfect for events!UpvoteDownvote
Cassandra McCannJanuary 16, 2014Get the spicy tuna on crispy rice. Even if you hate sushi you will love this!Upvote2Downvote
This is, hands down, the best place for salsa on the Westside. It's on Tuesday nights, with lessons from 8-10pm and dancing until 2am, for only $5 cover.UpvoteDownvote
Alex GambleJanuary 28, 2013Beautiful ambience in Atrium style design outdoors, great on a warm day.UpvoteDownvote
Stephanie TangFebruary 25, 2012Great twist on peking duck. Scallion pancake is a little bland. Everything is tasty! :-)UpvoteDownvote
The chicken skin Yakitori is a must. Especially on the weekend. Love it!!UpvoteDownvote
Xander FinolMay 12, 2012The basic salad that comes with every meal is RIDICULOUSLY good. Could fill up on that alone.UpvoteDownvote
Alex GJune 2, 2012Get the Tony's Special Roll - not on the menu. It's AWESOME. Ask your waiterUpvoteDownvote- Alex GJanuary 28, 2012Nothing beats Happy Hour in the courtyard on Friday nights! $3 Sake Bombs and $3 Draft BeerUpvote1Downvote
Kristin SwanAugust 2, 2015I think the high ratings are due to the outdoor patio. Certainly not the sushi. It was terrible. Our sushi was either made hours ahead of time or the worst sushi rice I've ever had. Very disappointed.UpvoteDownvote
Cory DolphinJanuary 12, 2012Lunch is well priced, the courtyard (located upstairs) is a gorgeous spot!UpvoteDownvote
The lychee pear martini is the best! $12 and you get a great tasting cocktail that will give you a hella buzz.UpvoteDownvote
Emily ElizondoNovember 19, 2011Sit in the courtyard! Sushi is fantastic!!!! You won't be disappointed :)UpvoteDownvote

Kim RonanMarch 31, 2010Upstairs courtyard is a pleasant surprise and they have $5 salsa dancing lessons on tuesdays at 8...weird but looks like a fun crowd!UpvoteDownvote
Greg GerschensonJuly 25, 2013They got rid of their Doritos with spicy tuna. It's a tragedyUpvoteDownvote
Polina WeitzJanuary 10, 2017Food was pretty bad. The atmosphere is nice, and perhaps drinks are good (haven't tried any), but based on the food alone -wouldn't recommend it.UpvoteDownvote
Debra EckerlingNovember 10, 2010Great Mediabistro event at Wokano last night! Awesome venue, service, and food!UpvoteDownvote
graceface killaOctober 21, 2012Upstairs and out to the courtyard. Pop bottles. Party.Upvote1Downvote
