My lower rating is based on the extremely rude greeting upon arrival. Sadly, it was the manager and he appeared to be having a bad day. That’s not ok to take it out on the customer. The server was amazing and very polite. The food was pretty good. We enjoyed our meal but based on the greeting, I will not return.

Super good food. The rice “hot pot” and the nikkei sevichi were innovative and delicious. Very good service. On the louder side, but not too much. Will go back.

Food is unique and very tasteful. Not too expensive either. Busboys did not communicate well of what was being served and felt very rushed. Drop the food and leave without explaining much.
