I went on a Sunday night and it wasn't crowded, which was great because I could have a good conversation with a friend. We tried the eggplant, wagyu pot stickers and ribs and they were all amazing. I will definitely go back!

As always, the chef made outstanding meals. We tried a lot of dishes from the menu in previous visit and always come back to order amazingly delicious wagyu pizza and hot pastrami sando and then decide about the rest. This restaurant is a true local gem!

YUM!! This restaurant came highly recommended by friends of ours and now we understand why! Everything we tried was delicious and memorable! We started with probably the best lobster bisque we’ve ever had and they are not stingy with chunks of lobster! Then enjoyed tuna crispy rice and brussel sprouts…tuna was fresh and melted in mouth while the crispy rice was the perfect complement to it! The brussel sprouts had just the right amount of char to them. The entrees we chose were the Miso Sea bass and the crab fried rice. The sea bass still has me salivating and the crab fried rice was so tasty! CANNOT wait to dine here again! Run don’t walk to this one!!

Fabulous food and service. Even the noise level made it worthwhile. If you are older it may be too noisy for conversation.

Delicious food, great service. The miso marinated pork ribs were great. The premium omekase sushi was very fresh and tasty. And we were lucky that they had uni for us — delicious. Except for the noise, it was a great experience indoors. When the weather permits, outdoors would be quieter. We will return!

We really enjoyed ourselves. Food was excellent. Sevice was too. They honored the happy hour specials which was a plus. It’s a little loud and I’m not sure how that would work for a larger group beyond 4 but we had a wonderful time and plan to return.
