Maybe it was a bad night for them… but.. Sat for 15 min and then gave drink order. After another 20 minutes no drinks, no food order, not even any water. We left.

We visited here for Japanese gathering. I recommend here because of its taste and friendly kindness service. I’m writing this just in case for someone who wants to know: separate bill is not available for group of 9 people. It was also good that there were no Japanese servers, but you should be a little careful not to order in Japanese because its authentic Japanese food makes you feel like you're in Japan.

Food and service incredible. But was the noisiest restaurant that I have ever been in. Had to yell across the table. It could be solved by installing some absorbers in the ceiling possibly.

Hi Tracy, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service - thank you for the kind words! And you’re absolutely right about the noise; that kind of atmosphere can really take away from the experience. We really appreciate the thoughtful suggestion, and I’ll make sure to pass it along to the team.

The gluten free options were very limited which already made the experience a bit disappointing. Only what was available on the menu and nothing else. The sushi was ok nothing special and for that price we could have gone to much better and igher quality restaurants. So overall it was good but nothing special and therefore I wouldn't go back.

We reserved two tables and the restaurant was accommodating enough to reserve the two tables beside each other. Celebrated my birthday with a slice of matcha cheesecake courtesy of Kinka. Food came in fast and delicious. Thank you.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has such good reviews. From the moment we were seated, the service was inattentive. The server asked if we wanted our mains and sides served together, and we said yes — yet everything came out separately. When I asked about it, I got a vague “oh, it’s coming” and they walked away. No water refills, no check-ins. The food itself was a bigger disappointment. The freshness didn’t even compare to what you’d get at a neighborhood budget sushi place, but the prices were far from budget. Even the payment process was slow and disorganized. No plans to return.

Hi Kylie, we’re really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t match your expectations, and we completely understand your frustration. It’s disappointing to hear that the service wasn’t as attentive as it should have been, especially after clearly communicating your request. We’re also sorry the food didn’t meet the freshness standards you were hoping for, and we’ll be reviewing everything closely with our team to improve. We really appreciate you sharing this with us—it helps us understand where we need to do better. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
