I am concerned that my credit card was not charged for the total amount including the tip. I called and was told the tip would be charged to my card in several days. That does not seem appropriate.

So excited to have gotten to try out Downingtown's newest food venue! Can't say enough about the whole experience! The food was delicious and our waiter was great! We sampled their cobb salad/risotto/ pizza and seafood dish. All had their own spin and take- highly recommend this newest gem but get your reservation in early as they book up for regular table times!!

First time patron. Both my wife and I like sushi and asian foods. Greeted immediately and pleasantly; found our reservation via OT promptly. Cozy venue not too loud very crowded. Very good service, food came promptly. Excellent dumplings! Tom Yum soup was a spur of the moment choice but awesome. Wife had chicken with garlic dish; very reasonable portion. I had 2 maki rolls which were excellent. Wasabi seemed less potent that I am accustomed to. BYOB place so no drinks. $75 for 2 with a 25% tip. Would definitely go again!
