It’s our second time there and we wanted to share our first experience with some of our friends. They all loved it. Our waiter was very nice, funny and he was always there to answer a question or to check if we were ok. Good quality and good price 👏🏼

The food is phenomenal. Atmosphere is intimate yet casual/fun. Great music. Service is on the slow side but it’s just one waiter serving the whole restaurant. Received great sake recommendations & did not feel rushed at all (even with a line of customers waiting at the door).
