    It was absolutely amazing! The staff were very sweet and accommodating, explaining every detail to a tee. We had a nice table in the corner of the restaurant right after their evening opening at 4 P.M. We ordered drinks, 2 Tasting Menus and 2 of the Wagyu Menu - delicious! The experience was divine, our waiter was excellent, and the ambiance made me and my party feel as if we were back in Japan. 100/10 would recommend! Will be coming back time and time again ❤️

    The A5 wagyu beef is awesome! Service is great! A little expensive, $170 each person, but worth the price.
