Jaya is an unreal experience. The food is unbelievable. I have been at least ten times and it always blows me away. This restaurant is a must. Not only is the food exceptional, but the ambiance is magnificent. You get to see extremely talented performers and listen to upbeat and fun music. The drinks are also delicious but definitely expensive so I would recommend simply going for the food and having a drink either before or after on your own. But, if you want to spend a little extra then get the Lychee martini.

Keep up the good work! Your food is delicious and drinks are superb. The only damper in our experience was the table next to us screaming about some sweet potato but you handled it beautifully and with class bravo.

Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!
