The food was very tasty. We really enjoyed the sushi selection. Chowmein was also very tasty. For non-alcoholic drinks, you could ask them to customize anything from their menu. Servers were very attentive and catering to all our needs. The ambience was luxurious. Decor was also impressive.

We were kindly seated in a closed room area, which made it so much easier to talk with my parents who are hard of hearing and with my service dog. Our waitress was exceptional and we had a good chef too! But honestly the waitress made the night in how she treated us. And being able to be in that room, it made the evening a lot better for all of our unique issues and disabilities that we deal with. Thank you!
