This was our first visit and not last visit to Himari. The food and service were outstanding! Their portions were perfect for two people sharing. This way we could try several different items on the menu. I would highly recommend Himari for anyone that likes Japanese food.

Jun was a great experience! The food was great, super complex in flavors and textures in every dish, which is something I love! The restaurant itself was very beautiful! Our servers were fine, nothing to to write home about, but the rest of the staff such as the food runners, etc. were very sweet and provided amazing service! I would definitely recommend this place and sit at the counter with the view of the kitchen if you can!!
