    Went on a date night. Spent a little bit more than usual but the experience is great. The meat cut was good, the sushi we had was good. The staff were very attentive. If you’re a hungry person I recommend 1 plate and a half. The other half to share plus an appetizer.

    The food is amazing. We order the Nabe hot pot and it was delicious and healthy and my friend ordered the bulgogi and it was very tasty. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accomodating. The only thing I would say is that we felt rushed to order and were there for an hour and felt that we wanted to stay a bit longer.

    I thought the food was mostly great, except the tofu and the korean beef. We ordered a crispy tofu, so when you end up with a doughy tofu kinda opposite. The korean beef meal, was really dry not recommended. But overall the rest of the food was great, and the service was great. I would recommend this restaurant to others!

    Creative, unique and delicious food! We just had the perfect experience. It was so refreshing to find a place so special, food that is being cooked to perfection, and such unique flavours. Sitting on the bar and watching it all happen was an amazing experience. The staff was very welcoming and helpful as they made sure we are having the best experience ever. The chefs definitely know what they are doing! I admire these kind of places. Well done! We are so lucky to have you in Calgary. We will definitely come back again.
