As always - food was delicious. The friends we bring continue to love it. Fried oysters, wontons in chili, Gyoza, lobster dumplings & the fried rice! Followed up with great cocktails

This was a disappointing visit which is unfortunate as my first visit here was great. We ordered the albacore based on the waitress recommendation and it was super fishy. Like gross. The rest was fine but that sort of ruined it.

We spent Valentine’s Day dinner here and actually had a really unpleasant experience. The sushi really didn’t taste very good and the music was so loud. It was also the same price as other nice restaurants in the area. I recommend coming here if you’re looking to club as opposed to having a nice dinner. Just wasn’t our vibe or what we were hoping for.

Usually this place is perfect but on Valentine’s Day this year it wasn’t! Service was not good, we were sat in the extended area of their dining room where tarps are used to keep customers dry and rain/snow out (despite only one other couple there when we arrived and they were sat inside), it was very breezy and it was freezing and we finally asked if they could turn the heaters on or up (despite our server seeing we were obviously cold when they took out order), servers were constantly bumping into my chair despite me being in as close as possible to the table, we were rushed to order despite server only having our table, our server gave us food we didn’t order (our paper apparently had been used before and we didn’t notice the marks on the SIDE of a few items, not actually marked IN the box) then we were charged for it, food wasn’t as fresh (avocados in two rolls were brown in some and fish didn’t taste fresh), server wasn’t very friendly and attentive (she was more concerned about how LONG of a night she was going to have), overall this wasn’t a good experience for my daughter and I. What was supposed to be a fun, mother and daughter dinner was everything but. We were in and out within an hour and took sushi home because of this experience.

The music was so loud we had to move from inside to outside, and then it was still unbearable… Could barely hear each other speaking so we had to leave after one drink
