Our Story

Journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship — where the streets of Tokyo meet the warmth of Little Italy.

An Underground World of Dining & Relaxation

Nestled in the heart of Little Italy, Cloak & Petal invites you to experience a unique dining destination unlike anything else in San Diego. Our newly remodeled underground Japanese-inspired lounge is a sanctuary carved from passion, creativity, and a deep love for authentic Japanese cuisine.

From the moment you step inside, the lively energy of Tokyo's most iconic neighborhoods washes over you. Our back bar, designed after the vibrant streets of Shibuya and Harajuku, transports guests to an underground world of dining and relaxation — adorned with Japanese street art, vibrant hues, and an atmosphere that simply doesn't exist anywhere else.

Indulge in authentic Japanese sushi, handcrafted cocktails, and a curated whiskey & sake selection in a setting that bridges cultures and creates unforgettable moments for family, friends, and celebrations of all kinds.
