    recently took my daughter and my one-year-old grandson on a special outing for the first time, and it was a delightful experience. My grandson was absolutely thrilled, giggling and exploring his surroundings with wide-eyed wonder. The food we enjoyed was delicious, bursting with flavor, and I managed to savor every bite, happily finishing my plate. Our server, Jazmin, was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making us feel right at home with her warm demeanor and attentive service. I left with my heart full and can't wait to return for another wonderful visit! Thank you Jazmin

    Our 2nd time to dine here. The service and food reflect on the consistent Michelin ratings ( 7 years ) Our specialist Martin was at the top of his game Truly helpful explaining the fine details of each serving Chef Yamamoto did not disappoint. Enjoyed the Wagyu and the Duck on top of the dumpling. The Sea Breem had an amazing ponzu gel Only complaint is the year 2020 vintage of Rindo should not be served since that’s a horrible year for wine because of the Napa fires. Still good but it clouded my judgement on the wine because of the suspect issues of the fires to the vines Never the less we had an epic dinner Arigato🙏🏼🇯🇵

    I had the shrimp lo mien which was really good. Very good amount of prawns and the noodles and sauce were good. I would recommend it. The music was a bit loud but we had a table away from the door off to the corner of the restaurant which was really nice.
