The Surfing Fox Opens on Ocean Ave

Dishes Include Koji-Brined Roasted Chicken With Coconut Sauce and Green Sambal, the Halibut With Yuzu Tomato Butter

The Surfing Fox opened its doors within The Pierside Hotel at the intersection of Ocean and Colorado Avenue.

Executive Chef David Yamaguchi, known for his role at the Michelin-awarded Chulita in Venice, lends his culinary expertise to The Surfing Fox. Signature dishes include the Koji-brined Roasted Chicken with Coconut Sauce and Green Sambal, the tantalizing Halibut with Yuzu Tomato Butter, and the indulgent Thai Tea Tiramisu with Brown Sugar Boba. Complementing these offerings are a selection of “Foxtails,” the restaurant’s signature libations. Notable among them is the Prickly Pear, an artful combination of tequila, prickly pear, hibiscus cordial, and black lava salt.

The expansive bar spotlights an array of locally-sourced California spirits, beers and wines. It also introduces an accessible breakfast and coffee program. The coffeehouse-style menu boasts a variety of La Colombe coffee selections, complemented by a range of teas, pastries, and freshly pressed local juices.
