I booked a table for 9 for a birthday celebration for my daughter. The staff was so attentive and did a special song for the birthday girl too which was unexpected. Service was excellent, food was very tasty and plenty. It was my first time but won't be the last. Thank you for a great evening!

Food came out quick and we were greeted promptly at the door. It did help that we were the first people there. The tempura, nigiri and tuna rolls were good. So was the salmon roll. Wife got chicken teriyaki and that was delicious carrots were seasoned well. A bit over priced for the entire experience though.
