    Everything was amazing. It is hard to find. Lyft driver didn’t know where it was and set us out. We had to walk around to find it. Need a sign at the The corner with the restaurants name and an arrow pointing in the direction we need to go. Other than that. This place and staff was perfect for our anniversary dinner.

    It’s my second time here, and got to sit in the back patio area with a strong heater, it was super cozy! The food is very flavorful, I had the cod and my mom had truffle donabe, we were celebrating her bday. I also tried the short rib too and abalone donabe, everything was so fresh and delicious! The panna cotta raspberry and green tea tiramisu were great, appreciate the wonderful staff!
