Such a wonderful dinner. We ordered so much food and tried something from every part of the menu. Our waiter was involved in making sure we had the appropriate amount of food with each round of ordering. We had three bites left at the end of the meal indicating we ordered just right!

Service is always impeccable and quick. On this visit, we were provided a complimentary taste of an umeboshi digestif and a N/A Arnold Palmer-type digestif. That made this visit extra special. December special was especially delicious!

We were on a tight schedule, having a flight delay that made dinner before a show pretty tight. This place was great! The service was perfect - delivering our rolls (which were all delicious) at the perfect pace. We never felt rushed, yet were in and out with enough time to walk to the venue. Will definitely return when we have more time to enjoy at a more leisurely pace.
