Our server was attentive and helpful. At first, we were assigned a booth by the door which was too loud. A manager moved us to a nice quiet booth where we could actually have a conversation. The food was excellent and the price was good for the value. Suggestion: add a good Mexican beer like Dos XX.

This was our first time at this restaurant, which was suggested by our adult son to celebrate his birthday. It was outstanding! The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Our server make excellent alternative suggestions to help with a food sensitivity. It was not inexpensive - we did the course menu experience & added 2 bottles of flavored sake - but worth it for the celebratory experience. I would definitely recommend and would be happy to stop in & sit at the bar and enjoy just the Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap! It was a favorite of everyone at the table.
