    We came for brunch on a Sunday. The food was delicious. Very inventive melding Jewish and Asian influences. The restaurant itself is very small. We sat close to the door so we were a bit on top of people coming and going but overall fine. It was definitely expensive but very different so hard to compare. We had a birthday at the table which our server forgot so no candles with dessert which was a bit of a bummer. But overall good service, great food, and A fun experience.

    Everything was great but would skip the ramen matzoball soup. Didn’t compare to the pastrami

    Food was good not outstanding, and we felt it was a bit overpriced - particularly the ramen add-ons. Nobody left full which we felt was a bummer due to how much we ordered, but overall I’d recommend for the experience.
