    We chose the bar but didn’t like the small space for a birthday dinner. Yes they give it fresh like Omakase style but didn’t really make any difference to us. The absolutely wonderful thing was that they accommodated us to a bigger table much more comfy and beautiful view. Everything else is thumbs up! Best appetizer was the tempura! And the we liked the signature style as well. Definitely recommend and will come back.

    Was looking for a place of convenience to meet up with some family for lunch and found this online. Some of the most magnificent food I have had in a while! The place is tiny but spotlessly clean. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful and everything we ordered was delicious. Fresh, Beautifully presented and sooooo yummy. We will definitely be back!
