    It used to be the best Japanese restaurant in Philly in my mind and I loved it very much before. Very disappointed this time that it changed so much to cater to attract more people and lost its character. It becomes just a restaurant expensive. If shrimp tempura is made like that, then this restaurant cannot be called authentic Japanese restaurant. I won’t come back.

    The fiery chocolate dessert was worth the price. It’s definitely enough for two or more. The wagyu on the stones was excellent. The sushi rolls were mediocre.

    Fantastic food. My daughter has a sesame allergy, and the waitress did a phenomenal job of helping us figure out what she could and couldn’t eat! We will definitely be going back!

    This place is great to try different dishes but I thought they could have had a better selection for salads. They only had one type of salad. Also, the portions are very small so I would suggest getting a few appetizers. Will I be back? Yes, I’m strictly getting sushi and the crab fried rice next time but the overall experience was good.
