    Note that if you have a party of two and order "a mystery box" that you will get charged for two.

    We’ve been here several times and this time did not disappoint. The good and service was excellent. It was my wife’s birthday and they comped us some special saki shots and dessert. The staff could not have been nicer. That’s why we’ll keep returning.
