    Service was great but the food was not. we ordered premium meal set which comes with salad, miso soup, fried gyoza, fried rice, garlic edamame which was our least favorite, variety of meat and mochi ice cream which i personally did not eat. And we ordered extra white rice which was tasted like sat in the rice cooker very long time and very soggy. meats were not great quality and over all I felt the price was a bit too much for this meal
