C A T /// inspired Japanese restaurant just opened in Carlsbad and it’s worth the drive

@littlekikisd is a new Japanese restaurant in Carlsbad built around premium ingredients, dry-aged in-house proteins, and just enough cat details to make you look twice. The standout is the A5 Wagyu gyu-katsu, lightly fried in panko and finished tableside on a hot stone.

What to order:

🥩 A5 Wagyu gyu-katsu: each piece arrives panko-fried and you finish it yourself on a hot stone at the table.
🐟 Dry-aged yellowtail crudo: clean and bright with yuzu ponzu and kiwi.
🥟 House-made chicken gyoza: the kind you keep reaching for.
🍹 Kiki’s Garden cocktail: shochu, honey, egg white, and matcha in one glass.
🍮 House-made matcha crème brûlée: the right way to end it.
