Whaaa I'm so sad I didn't take any pictures! I wanna say
Whaaa I'm so sad I didn't take any pictures! I wanna say the service and food is excellent! I'm so glad I found a tasty Asian spot in Santa Monica! Super cute date spot with amazing drinks but just know it closes pretty early!
Be the first to ReplyFood and drinks were amazing but our waiter sucked.
We ordered oysters but he said he had to check if they were available. We didn't see him again until they were serving our fifth and final dish. I had to ask him what the status was on the oysters. He didn't check about second drinks until we were on our last dish.
Be the first to ReplyLoved everything about this place.
Service was great and everything came out quickly. We shared an order of the beef rendang, the dan dan noodles and the charred broccoli. The star of the show was easily the rendang, which was nothing short of increidble. The dan dan noodles were also great, and on another night could have easily been the best part of the dinner because it was so good. The broccoli was the only thing that left something to be desired. It wasnt bad, just wasnt anything special. I wanted to try so many more things on the menu but the serving sizes are very generous and this was more than enough food. Just means we'll have to come back.

Had a reservation to this place for Friday night (made morning of) and got sat at the cutest corner table - perfect for people viewing :)What we got: papaya salad, dan dan noodles w/ duck on side, chickpea curry- i'd rate food 3/5 stars... dan dan noodles flavoring were by far the best! flavor was phenomenal -- however the duck tasted more like ground beef, which i'm pretty sure it was... - papaya salad was good but a little lackluster of flavor (compared to true thai/laos places), maybe it is flavored down to fit the crowd/area- chickpea curry was a pass in my opinionWhat we got (drinks): Singapore smash (mezcal), Thai Basil margarita (tequila), Recovery (whiskey)- my favorite: Recovery, followed by the Thai basil margarita, least favorite was Singapore smashService was AMAZING! Our waiter was so sweet and attentive, with the right amount of space. Vibes of the place is super lively- young (late 20s-early 40s) crowd for the most part
Be the first to ReplyHad an amazing birthday dinner at Cassia.
The vibe is great! They have a convenient valet parking next door so you don't have to look around. We came on a Saturday at 6 and showed up for our reservation a little early. We were sat right away. Table was very small but cute with a view of the entire restaurant. The host said it was her fav table which is think was a lie because I'm sure people complain about the size of the table. we made sure to order a little bit at a time. As the share plates and our glasses almost took up the entire table. Got the seafood tower and it came with spicy prawns which were so good! I also loved the scallops. We shared the fried cauliflower and the dan dan noodles which were spicy but came with a sauce to balance the spice. These were so good!! I am a baby when it comes to spicy so I asked the server which dishes weren't super hot and she recommended the Dan Dan and said if I could handle the prawns then I would be able to eat most things on the menu as the prawns are the spiciest! Their wine and liquor list is HUGE. Lots of wine options and fun cocktails to chose from. Som on the floor at all times for any wine questions and recommendations. We will be back!
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, didnt realize it was more of a shareable/family
Delicious, didnt realize it was more of a shareable/family style menu. Ordered around 6 dishes for 4 people, everything was wonderful, from the main dishes sides. So many flavors, cant pick my favorite dish :)
Be the first to ReplyCassia is a consistent staple.
Everything is outstanding. I crave the coconut chickpea curry and kaya toast often. Just stellar, beautiful back patio as well.
Be the first to ReplyEverything we've tried here was delicious.
Tried the grilled Whole sea bass, hangar steak, duck Dan Dan noodles, Chinese broccoli, fried cauliflower, spicy wontons, chickpea curry, papaya salad, laksa and the lime leaf custard. The dish that stood out the most was the whole fish. Very juicy and flavorful. Great ambience.
Be the first to ReplyI took my friend who was in town visiting.
The service, amazing!!! The good, awful!! We both hated it. (The desert was great). We both ordered the Laksa, a spicy seafood soup. You would expect to get some seafood in the soup. Instead we got "fish cakes". It was like seafood spam, awful. The dish cost $30. And they put in fish cake?!?! Terrible. We also wanted a veggie side fish, should have ordered a salad (they look great). Instead we ordered the wok fried Brussels and Avocado. This dish we didn't eat, it was Mushy, oily, awful. Our neighbors at the bar also ordered the Laksa soup. They said the same thing we did. Too rich, not good. Staff were super nice and friendly.
Be the first to ReplyJust when I thought I had the Santa Monica food scene
Just when I thought I had the Santa Monica food scene figured out, I realized I don't. I've been missing out my entire time living here! This is my new favorite restaurant. Amazing food, service and drink. I got the mint tea. Downsides: I saw my exes best friend (and even still my experience was amazing!)
Be the first to ReplyCassia is a cute restaurant in Santa Monica near the pier.
We went around 630 pm and had no issues finding street parking nearby. For appetizers, we got the fried cauliflower with fish sauce and it was a good start to the meal. The cauliflower is in a breaded batter but didn't feel overly heavy. For the mains, we got the whole grilled sea bass with tumeric and dill, grilled spicy lamb breast that was over jasmine rice, and the laksa which was their rice noodles in a spicy coconut seafood soup. Overall, everything was tasty and flavorful and their portion size was decent for the price point. The inside is pretty big and spacious with a cute vibe. Definitely a great place for a date night or a girls night out!
Be the first to ReplyWent here for our anniversary.
We went back and forth between choosing a place but decided to stick with Cassia due to interesting menu options. Everything we ate got progressively better throughout dinner. It was so good, better than I imagine it be. We had the sunbathing prawns, kaya toast, sea bass, and yard beans with avocado, Vietnamese coffee pudding. Yard beans and sea bass was definitely the favorites of the night. Will have to come back here when we come back to Cali.
Be the first to ReplyHad a wonderful early, mid-week dinner with my husband.
He was very happy that there was a good alcohol-free beer option. I had the Smoke Show cocktail which had tremendous depth. We devoured the garbanzo dip with fresh naan-like bread and the Asian Caesar salad made just right with light dressing and cheese on the side for hubby. Sweet potatoes were very flavorful as was the whole bass. Would easily repeat the order again next time we go!
Be the first to ReplyGood vibes, friendly service, decently large portions.
Food is good but a little salty.We ordered organic chickpea curry, which is really good. When you eat, you should layer the herbs on the bread/naan with the curry, elevates the flavors to a whole new level! Beef Rendang is great. The beef is so soft and juicy, sauce and rice are ok. I would order this again. It is very spicy, beware.If only the chef can tone down the salt shaker a little, it would be five stars to me!
Be the first to ReplyOur party consisted of two couples for dinner.
We had read that Cassia was nominated for a James Beard award for best chef California and were really excited to dine there, especially as it had been quite some time since we had dined out due to the pandemic. We did our research and knew what dishes we wanted to try. Everything went smoothly with our reservation until the food starting "pouring" out of the kitchen. Our waiter told us that the chef recommended that we order all of our dishes at once (it is meant to be a family style service) and the kitchen would take care of pacing our meal. Trusting that guidance, we ordered all of the 7 dishes we wanted to share at one time. We ordered around 5:30pm and within 30 minutes ALL of our dishes were crowding the surface of our table. Dishes just kept coming, seemingly all at once. We actually ran out of space at our table for all of the dishes the kitchen was hurrying out. We ordered a bottle of wine, but even though they rushed to get it to us, we had already received and eaten most of our dinner before we had our wine. It was so rushed that we couldn't get to certain dishes before they were stone cold. We should have spoken up and told the kitchen to hold some of the plates, but it all happened so fast that we just didn't address it. Most of the dishes were very good, with the exception of the Beef Rendang and the Dan Dan Noodles. However, our dinner felt rushed and was, therefore, not as enjoyable as it could have been. When you are paying the kind of prices Cassia charges, you don't expect to be rushed through in under 1 hour. Perhaps they are trying to turn tables very quickly to get more customers through the dinner service. You should not have all 7 of the dishes you ordered sitting on your table all at once getting cold, with wine being opened and poured only as you finish the last bit of your dinner. Besides food quality, one of the most challenging, but most important, factors in offering a great dining experience is pacing of service. Most restaurants don't do it well, but the great ones do. Cassia really failed in this regard.
Be the first to ReplyGreat spot.
..food was SO good...service was great...Ambiance was perfect...I highly recommend...and you have to order the spicy duck noodle dish...
Be the first to ReplyI really wanted to love this place after all the
I really wanted to love this place after all the recommendations I've gotten, but unfortunately, my visit fell short. If half stars were an option, I'd give a 3.5 stars! The ambiance and the aesthetic of the restaurant was great - definitely a nice place to go with friends/a date for a night out, but the food was a bit underwhelming. My boyfriend and I ordered the kaya toast, spicy wontons, kon loh mee, and the grilled sea bass. While everything was good, nothing in particular stood out as highly memorable or amazing. Also, considering the portions are meant to be family style, the dishes were not actually that large (between the two of us, we finished everything and didn't necessarily feel THAT full). The main factor for my 3/3.5 star review would be the service. We came on a Friday night & had a reservation, but of course expected it to be busy. However, it took quite some time before the waitress took our order, and our final dish (the sea bass) came out a solid 30 minutes or so after the last dish we had ordered - we almost considered just canceling the order all together and going home.All in all, Cassia isn't bad, and I would not be opposed to going again if someone asked me - however, for the price point (nearly $200 for a dinner for 2) the food and the service were quite underwhelming.
Be the first to ReplyThis is such a fun spot.
Food is so rich and flavorful. I've been here quite a few times. Some of the dishes can be spicy. Curry chickpea with the bread is my favorite! Beef rendang is good also :) and the half chicken with mashed potatoes! yum! You will not be disappointed. They do not have valet unfortunately but there is sufficient street parking in the area. I recommend coming here for a date or something special! Service is usually pretty good.
Be the first to ReplyReally wanted to try this place because it was nominated
Really wanted to try this place because it was nominated for a James Beard award. While the ambience is cute, and the food was tasty (although a bit salty), it was overall good with their drinks and food, but the service is really awful. We didn't have reservations so we sat at the cocktail table at the bar but it wasn't really that busy around 5:30 pm. But we had to wait a long time for any server to come acknowledge us or even give us water while the other cocktail table, 2 tables down, sat down after us and were given water and had their order taken and was served their food before anyone came over to ask us for a drink order. Although not sure if this was the reason why, it was a white couple who was served and we were 3 Asians who were ignored for a long time. Throughout the night no one came to check on us and even when we asked for water for the first time, it wasn't given until we had to ask a second time about 30 minutes later. We don't know if it was due to lack of staff or attention but definitely wouldn't recommend to come given the price you're paying for the food and the quality of service you will receive especially if you're Asian which is the irony that this is a restaurant that serves Asian food.Edit update: In response to the managers comment to this review, the apology feels very inauthentic, but I understand the defensiveness so I just want to note that it was our honest observation of the night as we watched who was being served quickly and who was not. It might not have been intentional but it was what we noticed in those 2 hours and wanted to address that to y'all. Also you can be Asian and still discriminate against other Asians... we are all human and it happens. I wanted you to know so that you can do better in the future but that's all up to you and for any other future patrons. I can apologize for that last line in the first review but you should know how awful it felt to be a patron in the restaurant that night.

Party of 3 for a birthday celebrationWhole party has been present to be seated Proof of vaccination requiredService was excellent, very attentiveMost of the dishes orders were very flavorful and delicious, mostly the appetizer. They are served family style so most of the portions were big. But be prepared for some expensive food. Vietnamese Cajun Crab Dip - Delicious! Tons of crab and not a lot of filler stuff like cream cheeseKaya Toast - it's sweet because of the coconut. I liked it but too sweet for the othersCold Sesame Noodles with added crab - very refreshing and light. Delicious Chickpea Curry with clay oven bread - bread is essentially Naan bread. Very fresh and delicious. Curry was as expected. Scallion Clay Oven Bread - omg this was my favorite of the night. Same naan bread but with scallion butter. I don't usually like green onions but this was so goooood. Beef Rendang - this was okay. I didn't find it to be anything special from a typical Rendang Whole Grilled Seabass - this was fabulous. Fish was hot and cooked with tons of flavor. Laksa - one of my faves tonight. The coconut seafood soup was so good. It's spicy and yummy. Duck Dan Dan Noodles - my least favorite of the night. It tasted gamey and didn't have the classic sesame/peanut flavor I was expecting. I would not order again. Drinks:Limeade was not sweet which is what I likeVietnamese coffee was very goodFriends ordered the Thai Basil Margarita. They said they enjoyed their drinks tooNo room for dessert but the free coconut sorbet for the birthday girl was perfect. Not too sweet and had bits of toasted coconut on it. I would have wanted to try the kaffir lime custard or vietnamese coffee pudding.
