Excellent brunch this morning! I celebrated my birthday here today and had Emily as my server, she was fantastic! Her recommendations were spot on. We had the Pork and chicken buns they were delicious, next we each ordered the ube waffles with chicken, boy was that excellent. A little salty on the chicken but still not worth taking a star off for. The food, drinks and service were so good, looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Emily and thank you Sunda!

We picked Birkins to celebrate a gfs birthday so all 20 of us decided to pick somewhere none of us have been to. We were all blown away by how awesome Birkins was. Great service, best steak I have ever had (and I have been to all the high end steakhouses in TPA) and it was a fabulous atmosphere.

This time we did not sit at hibachi tables but rather a booth. We wanted to talk and visit which is difficult at a big table with strangers. We both ordered hibachi meals and both were great!! Made a reservation because you never know how busy it will be. Enjoyed everything about dinner!!
