    Great experience, the ambiance was lovely. The bartenders are super invested in the experience and drinks they make. We had four cocktails altogether and they are all delicious (more spirit forward: The Nutorious and Hibiki Old Fashioned. Other cocktails: Astro Boy and Drunken Tiger). We also had the edamame which was literally the best edamame we've both ever had. It was roasted and had a delicious lemon and chile taste. I loved their music too, they played old hip hop and rap that was super vibey.

    Very welcoming and service from the front desk to our waiter was phenomenal. The food was delicious. Every bite was flavorful, and I'm excited to plan my return visit! It's definitely a hidden gem. It's one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to.

    We went to early dinner and had the restaurant basically to ourselves. No need for a reservation, but they sat us in a separate space of our choosing, for our anniversary. The service was fantastic and food was wonderful. We will certainly be back.
