  • 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.

    No substitutions. We unfortunately cannot accommodate any food allergies or dietary restrictions at this event.
    Please note, this is a dinner not a cooking class.
