Welcome to Sooper Secret Izakaya, where James Beard Award finalist Chef Ricky Goings does what he does best—creates a wildly delicious, ever-changing tasting menu that’s anything but ordinary.
This 14-seat chef’s table dinner is an omakase-style experience, but not in the traditional sense. There’s no strict theme, no set cuisine—just a rotating lineup of dishes inspired by the season, Chef Ricky’s experiences, and whatever flavors he’s excited about. It’s interactive, inventive, and always memorable.
Seats are sooper limited, and no two dinners are the same. Grab your spot and come see (and taste) what the hype is about.
Absolutely no substitutions. We unfortunately cannot accommodate any food allergies or dietary restrictions at this event, thank you for your understanding.
Please note, this is a dinner not a cooking class

In this class, students learn to make pasta entirely from scratch under the guidance of Chef Andrea Onetti, who hails from Rome and brings with him the traditions, techniques, and spirit of his hometown. Chef Andrea’s instruction offers an authentic, hands-on immersion into one of Italy’s most iconic culinary arts.
Pasta is a mark of the Italian culture and national pride. It is more than a food, it is an element of union shared throughout Italy: an integral part of life, one of popular culture yet simple and traditional for all Italians, not only of our cuisine, but of our very essence. It is the symbol of Italian cuisine always and forever.
