    My husband and I made reservations for 5:00 pm. We arrived at 4:45 and were seated right away. We chose to sit outside. We had the chicken and a martini from the Happy Hour menu and we had the pork belly and the hamburger from the dinner menu. Because we were celebrating my birthday we received the Yuzu meringue pie on the house. Everything was excellent and our waiter was great. You will love it!!!!

    Their custom cocktails are fantastic. We really enjoyed them as we watched the boats cruising the River along the River Walk. Great for people watching because it is on the quiet end of the River Walk. Also Grace, our server was really awesome. I highly recommend the Brisket Egg Rolls and Shrimp with Noodles. The Pork Belly and Krab & Crab were ok. We will try some other items on our next visit but we won't be able to pass on the Brisket Egg Rolls. We will probably double our order. Service was very attentive and we never had to wait for refills.

We’re glad you loved the Brisket Egg Rolls and Shrimp with Noodles, and we can’t wait for you to try even more dishes on your next visit (and we’ll make sure you have plenty of Brisket Egg Rolls)!

    Unique concept of food. I came from Tokyo couple decades ago and wanted to try this place.. ingredients weee good but dressings and sauces are bit too acidic to me. Reason why it was 4 star. ,

    I sat at the bar and was amazed how the barkeep managed so effortlessly to knock out dozens of beautiful cocktails while also taking excellent care of patrons at the bar. Food was great. I had the brisket egg roll, furikake corn waffle with pork belly, shrimp and bonito flake, frizzled green beans, and Yuzu tart. Yuzurita was a great accompaniment, highly recommended.
    Tokyo CowboyResponded on 26 February 2025
    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience at the bar and enjoyed the cocktails. Our bartenders work hard to keep things flowing smoothly, so it's great to know their efforts stood out. We're also glad you loved the food – the brisket egg roll, furikake corn waffle, and all the other dishes you tried are some of our favorites too! The Yuzurita is a perfect match with those flavors, and we’re happy to hear you recommend it. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon for another amazing meal and drink experience!

    The drinks were as good as you think kind of almost “medication” tasting but original. They were too busy for the servers to keep up
