    Easily one of the best dinners we’ve had For starters we had the shishito peppers (addictive), the chicken satay (it was so good I ordered another one for “dessert”), the pork dumplings and the wagyu yakitori For mains we took the spicy yellowtail sushi and the miso black cod And for dessert (after the extra chicken satay) we took the chocolate cake which was sensational Everything was unbelievably good Our waitress was super nice but I felt like she had too many tables, so it was hard to find her when we wanted something. We saw her maybe 3 times during the whole dinner The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, good music and amazing vibe. And it’s easily one of the best looking restaurants I’ve been to 1000% coming back

    I celebrated my 30th birthday at mama shelter and it was amazing! The service was excellent, the views were stunning, and the drag king and queen show made the experience unforgettable. They even ended the brunch with a fun raffle. Just a heads-up, there’s a $35 cake-cutting fee, but it was well worth it for such a memorable celebration. Highly recommend!
