    Our family has been enjoying this wonderful neighborhood Japanese restaurant for years, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. The food is consistently excellent, with fresh and flavorful dishes that impress even our friends with sophisticated palates. At the same time, it is incredibly family-friendly—our two small children are always welcomed with warmth. The service is exceptional, and the prices are almost unbelievably reasonable. While part of us wants to keep this treasure to ourselves, it is simply too good not to share. Highly recommend it for both intimate family dinners and outings with friends!

    This app is a great idea in theory but it didn’t help my wait time in the least bit. I made my reservation early in the morning for a 5pm dinner. When I arrived they already had my name down and said it would only be a 5-10 min wait. Awesome. But then 10 min came and went a few times over. I ended up waiting over and hour and twenty minutes to be seated. Loved the food and service. Definitely won’t be using the app again. Too much false hope lol
