Went to dinner here last night with my boyfriend. First time we’ve both eaten here. The food was delicious!! We started with the shrimp scampi. Best scampi we’ve ever eaten. For dinner I had the 20 layer lasagna!! Huge plate of it. It was so good. Brought the rest home for leftovers. My boyfriend had clam linguini. He loved it. I highly recommend eating here!!

Wonderful service, food, in a nice setting. The service was attentive and prompt. We ordered a wide variety of foods, including buttered cheese corn, Gyoza dumplings, beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp dishes. The Japanese beer was good as well. This particular location is well run. It was my second time here. I will be back soon.
