    The staff was so kind! They got us seated quickly in a very nice intimate booth and wished us a happy anniversary/my partner a happy birthday. The server was incredibly funny and offered wonderful food and drink recommendations, all of the food was incredible and the lavender empress cocktail was super refreshing. We will absolutely be back again soon, try the toffee banana cake and the dragon and firecracker rolls for sure! Great vegetarian options too! TEN star experience!

    The staff is always very friendly and so kind. The sushi is always top notch and melts in your mouth. The only sad part is that most everything was sold out by Saturday night. Four to five of the items that we were trying to order were already sold out by the time with got to dinner at 7:00pm. I've had sushi in Seattle, Baltimore, San Fransico, and Seoul, South Korea, and Izakaya Den is easily my top choice in sushi.

    Sushi was fresh and expertly prepared. The omakase sample of 5 pieces was a great array of fish we may not have ordered. Good thing we went for the sushi. The tempura was disappointing with weird oily batter.
