    I took my girlfriend here on a date. I believe our waitress’s name as Nika. She was AMAZING! She made our experience so worth fun and meaningful. The food, ambiance and service is one of the best I have ever had here in Washington. I would highly recommend this place :)

    Fantastic dinner. Food, cleanliness and service are elevated with the new ownership. Always a fun experience, but we were pleasantly surprised with the flavors and quality of food. Be cautious when booking with Open table. The new ownership has created a dinning room that is not prepared at the table. You must book a teppanyaki specific table. Thankfully the patient hostess was able to wiggle us in. We were celebrating a birthday and were looking for the full experience. She saved the day!

    Excellent food, excellent service, varied choices on the menu from sushi to fish entrees to many other types of entrees. John Howie has got a winner here, and its location away from Bellevue Square means they have to meet the demands of those who aren’t in town to just shop. And, they do that with ease. Well done, guys!
