    From start to finish, this place is definitely an experience. The crispy rice is by far the best I’ve had. The offered a seasonal “Chai Margarita” which is divine!

    First time dining at this restaurant and the location. Everything was great, however the noise level due to the large reflective concrete floors and structure made it sound like your in a huge cave. I think wood or cloth panels position inside to absorb the echo frequency would do wonders. It was hard to hear my date sitting across from, to carry on a conversation without yelling to some degree.

    The menu at the Glass Box has changed over the year and development into a big variety very yummy selections. We had lunch there the other day. We started with the Chinese chicken salad topped with shrimp that the two of us shared. We asked Chef Ethan to put together one roll and six pieces of Nigiri, all based on what my eating partner was allergic to (she only eats shellfish for her protein). Our Chef did a beautiful job of creating and plating. We will be back!

    We had the 2 course restaurant week lunch menu. Service was excellent, so was the food. Though we enjoyed everything we tasted, the corn soup and pumpkin salad were suprisingly the star of the whole meal. We hope to be back soon to try their main menu. Highly recommend!

    The food was excellent; However, the noise level was very high and made any conversation difficult. The service was very slow at first. The server became more attentive after I complained about being ignored.

    Went there today for Restaurant Week. $25 for 4 pieces of California Roll and 2 pieces of gyoza, pumpkin salad, chirashi bowl. The waiter brought water shortly and we told him we were waiting for another guest. He didn’t come back to check on us until we flagged down. The food is decent. It is inside of Skydeck. It could get loud during night because it is next to a bar.
