We had the banquet which is 70$ per head. And Food was actually pretty good other than some of skewers were overcooked that it was very chewy. However, they had couple of missing courses from order. And the guy came over to me and asked me that our course meal is done and if i want to order some more foods. And i was like yes id like to have a look at the menu. And i realized that we had missing skewers. They apologized once but that didn’t really make us feel better. Imagine if i just paid and walked out without having a look at the menu. Sigh…

Lovely setting and service. The food was a Lottie but overcooked and some dishes weren’t as good as I thought they would be. The signature dishes were excellent. We still had a great night!

Me and my wife had a great experience at the chef's table last night. It has been over a year since we last visited since our son was born and we were so glad to see the food not only has maintained its high quality but in fact has best our last experience! Well done to Keita and his talented team behind the kitchen counter!

This is our couple's regular date night now. Perfect and authentic Japanese food by professional and very kind Japanese chefs and staff. Drinks are also awesome and reasonably priced. Must try their chicken crackling yakitori, garlic fried rice, wagyu tartare, and uni hand roll sushi (special menu)!!!
