Golden State Menu

Our Menus

SoCal is all about fresh & modern Southern Californian ‘share-style’ street food, packed with Latin American spices alongside ‘low’n’slow’ smoked meats, house-made sauces and freshly indulgent sides.

The food and drinks are a reflection of what is commonly found along HWY 101. Head Chef in the engine room is Jason Wang. His raw creativity has produced a delicious mix of share foods comprising of fresh seafood, North American inspired flavours and the odd Mexican dish. The extensive wine list is comprehensive yet approachable and includes some classics for reputable Cali regions.
